From the Local IT, February 2016:

Ten essential free phone apps for a visit to Rome

Those seem like great apps! Duolinguo, which is free, is very highly recommended by teachers of Italian. The only app I'd question is "Medinaction," which promises to send a qualified doctor to your hotel if you get sick, like a house call. You pay through the nose on that.

By law, all emergency medical treatments in Italian hospitals are free. If you go to the ER because you are having a heart attack and they do emergency cardiac surgery, and you are in the intensive care unit for a month, and in the hospital for two months, it is free, regardless of where you are from. You might have a 20-30 euro co-pay, and that's it.

If someone doesn't want to go to the ER and is willing to pay the 150 euro fee, that's a personal choice. But if you are sick, they are going to send you to the ER because there is nothing they can do for you in a hotel room that a trip to the pharmacy can't do. Pharmacists have a lot more scope than in the USA.

Thank you, I downloaded more than a few of them.
