The 'Pivo' app lets you survive in any country by helping you order beer. Pivo provides the key phrases to getting a beer in 59 different languages. All of this is done using a simple interface and engaging visuals. If you're lost while at a foreign bar, all you have to do is whip out your phone and choose the correct language. The app then proceeds to inform you how to politely order a beer.
If you're worried about pronunciation, Pivo has you covered. You can get a native to speak the phrase for you by rotating your phone into a landscape position. A video of a native will appear to help you order a beer.
The Pivo app is currently available for iOS devices on the iTunes store.
