Veggie Phrases App
The IVU Veggie Phrases application is a a handy pocket reference for travelling vegetarians and vegans, packed with over 500 phrases in over 60 languages.
The phrases have been compiled over many years by community-spitited veggies around the world and compiled by the International Vegetarian Union, now all packed into one handy app that you take with you on your travels. This application is 100% offline, all of the phrases are stored locally so it’s perfect for the iPod Touch and iPhone as well as Android phones and you won’t need to worry about any of those nasty roaming charges.
Download now from iTunes or Android Market here…
Veggie Phrases includes common every-day phrases such as:
- “I am Vegetarian, I don’t eat any meat”.
- “I do not eat eggs, milk or cheese”.
- “What dishes do you have without meat or fish?”.
- “Does it contain any animal products”?
- “Is there a vegetarian restaurant near here?”.
It’s worth pointing out that the phrases have been compiled by you, the veggie public – so there may be some imperfections but if you spot any please feel free to leave a comment and I’ll do my best to have them fixed in the next update.
I downloaded this app to my iPad but although it installed without problem it just refuses to launch. The initial screen appears for a brief second, then completely disappears. I am using os4.2 and hope you can fix this – thanks.
Hi, I’ll look into that for you and post an update when it’s available – it might take me a couple of weeks though but I’ll do my best!
Thanks for the interest!
Hi!
I seem to be having the same issue Julianne mentioned. Download was fine but app won’t launch (starts to but immediately crashes). I’m on an iPad2 so not sure if the same thing would happen on my iPhone, too.
Anyways, thanks for thinking of creating this app…I’ll look forward to the update
I have iPad and it does the same thing as mentioned above also.
Sorry folks, it was never intended as an iPad app anyway due to the screen size – I’ll work on it at the moment but it’s hard to find the time!
Hi
My Veg Phrases worked well on my iPhone and iPod touch, but now does not work. It opens ok, but once it opens, it will not display any of the phrases for any language.
Please let me know if there is a bug or if I am doing something wrong.
Thank you so much. This is a great app and I have been using it quite a bit.
Thanks for letting me know, it appears that there are compatibility problems with the latest version of iOS. I will try to set aside time to rewrite the app so that it will work on iOS 5 and possibly allow it to work on the iPad also (something people have been asking for).
Regards, Ash.
