For something that is entirely dependent on images the images are low resolution and have a watermark on them making it even harder to see. Waste of time and money. Even the book is now printed smaller making it harder to see the images.

Firstly, it does the job. That is, it has photos with multiple objects that I can conceivably use in a situation where there are communication difficulties. BUT the app is AWFUL! The following points should be noted: - App loads in landscape (when you're in portrait) - Images are watermarked (but I paid for the app!) - Swiping function is poor - There are only 70 images total, only arranged by category (no thumbnails, ability to save favourites etc) - FYI categories are Food, Hotel, Transport, Shopping, Leisure, Sports, Health, World Maps The app is someones side project, and what's really weird is that it has no competition that I know of. I'd recommend someone scours rights free flickr images and makes a better UI based on this concept). Oh and the 'app reviews' in the app description must be made up, either that or from 2007

The swiping function doesn't work very well all the time and it can only be viewed as landscape.
