Somewhat understandably given the price point, Fodor's Travel Phrases is more of an introduction to 22 different languages, offering a phrase book full of the most commonly used terms needed to get by in a foreign country.
Conveniently, users can "favorite" a term for even faster consultation at a later time. This proves particularly useful once language packs have been purchased and the full 400 phrases have been unlocked for each language.
As a free app, Fodor's Travel Phrases is quite limited with only basic stock phrases included. To truly benefit from the phrase app, users need to spend $1.99 to unlock one pack or $14.99 to unlock the full selection of 22 languages. It offers flexibility for those only interested in a couple of languages but it's a shame that the app doesn't offer more, such as sharing functionality or phonetics. It's an adequate starter package but for those keen to master a language rather than simply get by in a foreign country, there are better options out there.
