Every day, at no cost.
- 40 phrases heard and translated a day
- 10 smart replies a day
- Speak, type and quick phrases, no limit
- Every situation and all 19 languages
Talk to anyone, in their language.
Lingowing listens to the person in front of you, tells you what they said, suggests what to answer and says it for you. On your iPhone, even offline.
Coming soon to the App Store. Free to start, for iPhone.
Three buttons. That's the whole app.
-
When they talk to you
Tap Listen and leave the iPhone near them. You get what they said in your language, on screen and in your headphones.
-
When you want to say something
Hold Speak, say it in your language and let go. Lingowing says it in theirs, out loud.
-
When you'd rather type
Write it, and show it on screen in big letters or let the iPhone say it.
Translating is free everywhere. Knowing what to say next is the hard part.
Lingowing reads what they just said and offers replies in their language. You choose by what each one means in yours.
- Do you want it spicy?要辣的吗？
- Not spicy, please不要辣
- Will you be eating here?こちらで召し上がりますか？
- To go, please持ち帰りでお願いします
Replies in your words
Big, what you're about to say. Small, how it reads in their language.
Show it big
Turn the phone around. The phrase fills the screen, with pinyin, rōmaji or a reading guide.
Every price, in your money
When they say a price you see it converted, and the summary keeps them all.
-
Any headphones
AirPods, any Bluetooth brand, wired or USB‑C. The iPhone's own microphone listens to them; the translation goes to your ear.
-
Works offline
Download your languages once, with one button. After that it works on the plane, on the metro or without a local SIM.
-
Every kind of trip
Shopping, food, transport, hotels and business meetings. The replies change with where you are.
-
Tells you what they're asking
Under the translation, one line on what they want from you, such as “They're telling you the price and asking if you want a bag.”
19 languages, eight of the ten most spoken.
Pick theirs and yours, and swap them with one tap.

Questions before the trip.
Something not working, or an idea? Write to me and I'll answer myself.
agustin@forrate.clWhat do I need?
An iPhone with iOS 26 or later. Smart replies use Apple Intelligence (iPhone 15 Pro or later, turned on in Settings). Without it, Lingowing still listens, translates, speaks and gives instant replies and phrases.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The first time you pick a language, the app downloads it from Apple. After that, listening, translating and speaking work offline. Exchange rates update the next time you're online.
Which headphones can I use?
Any: AirPods, other Bluetooth brands, wired or USB‑C. Lingowing always listens with the iPhone's microphone, so it hears the person in front of you even if your headphones have a mic. The screen shows where it's listening from and where the sound goes.
How does the other person hear me?
Hold Speak, say it in your language and let go. Lingowing says it in theirs through the iPhone's speaker, and listening picks up again when the voice finishes.
Is my conversation recorded or sent anywhere?
No. Audio is turned into text on your iPhone and isn't saved. There's no account and no server. Read the privacy policy.
How do I restore my purchase?
In the app, open Settings, then Lingowing Pro, then Restore purchases, with the same Apple Account you subscribed with. To cancel, open Settings on your iPhone, tap your name, then Subscriptions.
Can I get a refund?
Payments go through Apple, so refunds are requested at reportaproblem.apple.com. If something didn't work, tell me too so I can fix it.
Your next trip, with someone in your ear.
Leave your email and I'll write once, the day it's on the App Store.
