Pros and cons of ICOON picture dictionary app for iPhone and iPad

ICOON picture dictionary app good for

Lots of reviewers misinterpreting the app. Its great for traveling to places with high communication barriers (Asia, etc). Has been useful in my trips through Japan and Vietnam. I recommend it to a lot of my friends.

Finally my favourite travel companion is also available for iPhone and iPod touch. I used the ICOON book quite a lot on my travels.

I do a lot of traveling and have only passable knowledge of German, French and Spanish, which gets you pretty far around the world, but not in Asia. Now with ICOON, i dont worry about not remembering the words for what I need. Very useful, and also very funny! The graphics are great, rendered in beautiful line illustrations. Highly recommended!!

One if the most useful apps for traveling. But a search function would be great

This is a pretty awesome app! Needs a little done to it but its great

Some bad moments

This app has way less icons than the book. Why? Missing out on a ton of useful words as a result. Also, it says I can adjust the language of te categories but I cannot see that feature live in my app.

I wanted this for one reason to Copy and Paste the icons in texts or iMessages. Im not sure why the developer(s) didnt make that option available. When you travel even with language barriers you meet people, make new friends, get phone numbers, and it would be nice to be able to send an icon to someone you sort of know rather than having to ask complete strangers where to find something or how to get somewhere. Make Copy and Paste an option and I will change my review for sure!

I dont understand the purpose. Graphics are nice but cant do a thing with them. They are Useless
