Very good for the most part. There are obviously dialects and various phrases that are used in conversational Italian where this app lacks. But, like I mentioned, for the most part, this app is effective, efficient, and simple to use. The pronunciation is very crucial for proper use and is helpful in learning to make proper use of the language.

I gave this app a three-star because I am not able to verify the accuracy of translation. I do know that some translation is off; I just can't tell you precisely how much. Some of the translations from My Italian Friend are also off. It may be due to cultural differences in the way Italian speak and the way Americans speak; I just can't say for sure or it could be a problem with the app. I will say it is very easy to use and has both writing & oral modes.

As of a few weeks ago, the app is misfunctioning! When I use the microphone to submit a word in Italian (to translate into English), the app "hears" it in English - not Italian. Ive been using this feature for years and it has never failed before. I uninstalled and then reinstalled, but that did not help! Help please!
