Pros and cons of SpeakEasy French Pro app for iPhone and iPad

SpeakEasy French Pro app good for

I have a grade 12 knwledge of French but I dont practice it so I thought I could have this on hand for those times I forgot. Honestly if you have a barebones knowledge of French stick with the lite version and get a pocket dictionary app, thats what I ended up doing, despite buying the full version. It is helpful if you speak 0 French but to have to buy all the expansion packs is annoying...

The translations are wonderful and easy to understand. It also gives the French spelling of each phrase which helps you get an even better understanding of the language. Plus there are additional phrase packages you can buy should you feel like you need them. I highly recommend this application.

I like it, I am learning lots of new French words that I never new how to say! It helps me with words. I love it 

Very handy when we traveled across France from valleys of Angers to the mountains of Chamonix. Although I have to say that there was never a shortage of English speaking residents who were more than glad to help us out when we were passing through smaller towns. Get it - absolutely helpful.

Very comprehensive app. If you purchase the bundle pack (worth every cent of the $2), you get a really exhaustive list of words. I really like being able to slow down the pronunciation, and seeing the phonic representation of the words. Cest bon marche.

Some bad moments

It worked okay, but I found it lacking in a lot of circumstances, too much in fact for a paid version. I expected a lot more than buying a "teaser app" that requires even more paid expansions for something I already purchased.

Just what I was looking for to prepare for trip to Paris in a few months. Very grateful!

Some are available in additional packs for a charge but overall only found about a quarter of the words when I searched. It should at least have a eng fre dictionary so you can look up random words but it only has some set phrases to search.

This app has been the best so far. I can make flash cards with the French words or phrases, the pronunciation and the English meaning as well as listed to state it ac correct as possible! Keep the info coming!!

When I started to use this app, it was okay, but as I started to use it more, it helps me a lot in my French class at school. Hana

If you do not have the memory, ear, or the tongue to accommodate a language, then you remain with usable phrases. I like this app! Easy to process the phrases, learn basics. In time one would need to advance to a broader academic formality in the art of learning French. However it allows you to read, hear, and phonetically practice! Off to a good start! Repetition is always a key and good set of earphones! Best of luck. Does what it says, worked beautifully!
