Allergo creates translated allergy cards for travelers, with Apple Wallet support and offline access. Available on iPhone; Android waitlist open.

Allergo

Overview

allergo is an allergy translation card app for people who need to communicate food, medicine, or related allergies while travelling. It generates translated cards for a chosen destination and can save them to Apple Wallet for quick access at restaurants or on the move.

The site says allergo covers 27 allergens across 36 languages and uses country-localised translations rather than direct word-for-word output. The product is available on iPhone, with an Android version listed as coming soon and open for waitlist signup.

What allergo does

Allergen selection and destination targeting

Choose from 27 allergens spanning food, cosmetics, and medicine, then generate a card tailored to the destination language you need.

Country-localised translations

The site says cards are localised per country rather than translated word for word, so wording can reflect how people actually describe ingredients and dishes locally.

Apple Wallet pass

Add a simplified version of the card to Apple Wallet and open it quickly when ordering, rather than searching through a separate app.

Restaurant-ready card format

The example pass shows the allergy statement, allergy list, and emergency wording in a compact format intended to be shown to restaurant staff.

Emergency support information

The product includes an SOS emergency view with critical info, emergency phrases, and local emergency numbers.

Offline access

Cards and phrases are described as fully offline, which helps when travelling in places with limited signal.

When people use allergo

  • Dining out abroad

    A traveler can generate a card for the country they are visiting and keep it ready in Wallet before going out to eat.

  • Communicating medical needs clearly

    Someone with food allergies, coeliac disease, or medicine allergies can carry a concise translated statement instead of relying on a generic translator app.

  • Planning ahead for family travel

    Families can prepare allergy cards before a trip so they do not have to translate ingredients or explain restrictions at every meal.

  • Using it offline while traveling

    In a place with poor reception or no signal, stored cards and phrases remain available without needing mobile data.

  • Fast access at the table

    A user who wants a lighter-weight workflow can keep the card in Apple Wallet and share it by QR code with restaurant staff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Creates translated allergy cards specifically for travel and restaurant use.
  • Supports a broad set of allergens, including food, cosmetics, and medicine categories.
  • Offers Apple Wallet access for fast retrieval without opening the app.
  • Works fully offline once the card is available.
  • Includes emergency phrases and local emergency numbers in an SOS view.

Cons

  • The pricing page is unavailable, so only the plans shown on the home page can be verified.
  • Android is not yet available; the site says it is coming and currently accepts waitlist signups.
  • The site notes that translations are currently generated using leading AI models, with select languages reviewed by native speakers, so the translation workflow is not fully professional across all languages yet.
