Learn Portuguese - Phrasebook review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick this phrasebook if you are visiting Portugal and want essential European Portuguese phrases with audio on your phone, offline and without data collection; the free 200+ phrases may be enough for a short trip. If you want to actually learn the language, pair it with a course such as Practice Portuguese.

What Learn Portuguese - Phrasebook is

Learn Portuguese - Phrasebook, from Webron Software, is a travel phrasebook for European Portuguese aimed at visitors to Portugal. Each phrase is recorded by a native speaker and can be played at a slower speed. You browse phrases by category, search by word, save favorites and review them as swipe flashcards. It works without an internet connection, according to the description.

Who it suits

• Travelers and business visitors to Portugal
• Learning survival phrases offline

Strengths

• Teaches European Portuguese, which fewer apps cover; the developer has a separate app for Brazilian Portuguese.
• 200+ words and phrases are free, in categories such as greetings, numbers, directions, transportation, eating out and emergencies.
• Native speaker audio with a slower playback option, and no internet connection required, per the description.
• The privacy label says no data is collected.
• Updated in October 2026 and runs on iOS 15.0 or later.

Limits

• A phrasebook, not a course: there are no grammar lessons in the listing.
• Categories such as accommodation, shopping, time and date, family and feeling sick are in the paid version.
• The description says purchases are one-time, but the price list includes weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions.
• The description promises no adverts, yet the App Store age rating lists advertising.
• 248 ratings, so there is limited public feedback.

What the free version does

The description lists 200+ common words and phrases as free, in seven categories: greetings, general conversation, numbers, directions and places, transportation, eating out and emergency. Upgrading unlocks all 1,000+ phrases in 18 categories, including accommodation, shopping, tourist attractions, dating and tongue twisters.

Price

On the US App Store in November 2026, the price list shows a Weekly Subscription at $4.99, Premium (monthly) at $4.99, a Yearly Subscription at $34.99 and an item named "Portuguese" at $29.99. The listing does not say whether the $29.99 item is a one-time unlock. The weekly and monthly items have the same price, so check which one you pick.

Privacy

The privacy label says the developer does not collect any data from the app. Nothing is declared for tracking or linked to your identity.

What the screenshots show

The screenshots show a home screen with a word search box and a category grid (Greetings, General Conversation, Numbers, Time and Date), a favorites list with "Boa Noite" and its translation, and a swipe flashcard with play, microphone and favorite buttons.
