    Not worth the $8.99. CONS. Offline capability is great, but unfortunately low on # of words. Flashcard function can be improved by having the capability to shuffle; now they come out in same order each time. Nouns should include gender. PROs are the traveler phrases, and the audio capability so one can hear the pronunciation.
