I'm studying Chinese and even for me it's handy to have this application on my cellphone, especially the first days when I arrived in Beijing. My group went the first night to the Suzie Wong and by clicking the play button, the cabdriver delivered us directly without mistakes to that club...what normally doesn't happen when i try to say the address in Chinese, haha! Also funny is to use the phrases during the taxiride, it's a good way to make friends, they love it.
