Great App, Buy It! This is all you need for the basic visit.
Ive been to Japan twice, going again this year and this is the ipod experience as it should be. Clear, simple interface, real words and phrases that you will use everyday in Japan. It works perfectly, no sounds problems for me. In 3 clicks you can find the catagory, the phrase and then click on the phrase to have it spoken for you. Sound is clear and bright. Some cards allow you to build more complicated phrases by clicking the first entry i.e. "how do I get to," and then clicking on "this address" in the list below it. My only fear is that I will rely on this app too much and stop trying to speak the language myself.
