Travel Phrases 1.0.1.0
For those who want to keep close at hand a conversation guide that can be used to make it easier to communicate in a foreign language, having an app like Travel Phrases onto their Windows Phone can be a really good idea.
Tidy GUI with a well structured layout
The application offers a decent interface, with a clean look and an organized arrangement of the content and features. There are several screens, each dedicated to a certain category of conversational subject matter.
The sets of phrases are clearly delimited one from another, so as to make them very easy to read. The navigation among the different screens and through the long lists of expressions is done very fluently, without any glitches.
Search as you type in several widespread languages
Travel Phrases contains a good collection of set phrases for Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian, Malay, Thai and a number of dialects and languages spoken in India. If you are looking for a specific phrase, the instant query will display the results as you are typing the keywords.
A double tap on any couple of expressions or words will display them in full-screen, in landscape mode for optimal visibility. The variety of expressions is small, but should be enough to help you get by without too many problems in the regions of the world where the languages supported by the app are spoken.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The interface looks good, even if it is not too appealing, but it offers an increased visibility for all the texts inside and is quite smooth in terms of browsing the content. Also, the layout favors the ease of use, while some customization options would be a great addition. |
Function7
Travel Phrases covers the main areas of interest in terms of conversations a tourist will have to put into practice. The number of supported languages is quite limited and there is no quicker way of accessing them. |
Security10
This app is perfectly safe to use as it doesn't look anywhere but in its own storage where all the information it needs is available, so it deserves top marks and all the appreciation. |
Battery8
The power consumption is low to moderate and this makes the battery usage remain well within normal limits while this application is functioning. |
Price9
This utility offers all its features free of cost and without any annoyances, so it has a very good value overall. |
Compatibility9
Suitable for use on most Windows Phone devices, the app only needs version 7.5 and above of the operating system to be installed onto the handset. |
