Latest reviews of Diner Dictionary app for iPhone and iPad
Pretty cool program for an international foodie.
Was excited about this app but was very disappointed in it. You can only search for words in English which sort of defeats the purpose if you’re trying to translate a menu item from another language when traveling in a foreign country. Also, the phrases are extremely limited. Useful basics like “do you have a table for two” or “can I make a reservation” are not include. Totally lame.
I am getting ready to visit Paris and purchased this app based on a link from some travel blog. Ive been to Paris before and studied French in college. I understand the basics, but was hoping this app would help me understand the language that describes how an item is cooked or how its served. You know, the stuff you *really* need to know. But thats not what I got with this app. Another thing that I found pretty useless was the translator. Youd think it would be specific to food and/or restaurants. I typed in "saignant" (which is the word youd use to order your steak medium rare) the translation came back "bloody". Not very appetizing, huh?! Also, its incorrect because the word for rare in French is "bleu". I dont think this app is going to help me that much.
This app is my favourite app, he help me a lot. Had all the kind of food and help you to spell the names of food in other languages,
When searching for a word it crashes all the time (iPad mini). Otherwise I would have given 4
