I’ve always wondered what Gen Z sayings meant and That Ish makes it easy and even enjoyable to learn them.

Great for language learners

As someone learning English I found the translations and context really helpful—especially when phrases don’t make sense literally.

I used this app before a big meeting and it helped me understand informal phrases my younger colleagues were using—which saved some face.

Fun games but needs more content

The gameplay is enjoyable and the core idea is solid. I’d like to see a larger slang database and faster updates though.

I’ve replaced several web searches with That Ish. The one-time purchase feels worth it for understanding today’s informal language and code-switching better.

How to use

Download and install That Ish on your iOS device and open the app to begin. Enter a phrase you’ve heard (for example “that’s fire” or “he’s a munch”) and the app will translate it into formal or plain English, explaining meaning and tone. Explore the “Slang Origin of the Day” card to learn a new term, its back-story, and even related songs or podcasts for context. Play one of the built-in games (such as “Tone Deaf” or “Code Switch”) to test your understanding of slang tone and usage and earn learning points. Use the search or browse feature to lookup words by region, synonym or usage, and optionally upgrade to the Pro version to unlock unlimited games, saved favourites and advanced translation types.
