TripReady by SKart

Make memories in your own words, not through a translator.

Most language apps assume you are aiming for fluency. TripReady works backward from how much you can actually study, and builds a curriculum to fit. It never hands you more than you can finish.

■ Before you leave — peak on the day you need it Emergency phrases and everyday conversation are studied a little each day. Airport phrases come the day before you fly. Review them on the plane, and you can use them the moment you land.

■ Once you are on your trip — from studying to looking things up On your departure date, the app switches modes. Find phrases by situation, such as "Transport" or "Food & Drink". Numbers, times and prices are gathered in a pointing chart, so you can point even when you can't say it.

■ It covers what the other person says, too Your own phrases alone will stall a conversation. We included how staff and station attendants will ask you things, and how to answer.

■ Works abroad with no connection Audio and other content are downloaded together before your trip. After that, no connection is needed, so it opens on the plane or in the subway.

■ Your location never leaves your device As you approach a station or a shop, the app lets you know the phrases for that situation. Where you are is worked out only on your device and is never sent to our servers. Even without location permission, all lessons and the pointing chart work.

■ A one-time purchase No expiry. Use it to review after you get home, or on your next trip. Sign in and send an invite link to share it with up to 3 travel companions at no extra cost.
