New update
New update is trash. Super nice to have a section to see basics and greeting etc so cool, but having to delete every translation & the format compared to before sucks. Also when switching between 2 languages (ex Eng to German then wanting to keep the text just switch around German to Eng) & having to retire is annoying
This app is so close to being the best one but not quite, not quite.

Latest Update is a mess
What was a fabulous app is ruined by this recent update. Shameful Apple. The previous User Interface also provided alternate translations based on whether it is a verb, adverb, noun, adjective etc and colloquial factors. It was purely brilliant - this latest version is a pale imitation. Please make the alternate translation facility available again. If not I’ll seriously consider using another app.
Furthermore, the star ratings are only out of four not five because you can’t give a zero star rating and must give at least one star - so everyone gets one!

New update is a step backward
I loved this app until the most recent update, which completely changed the way it works.
This was especially problematic for me as it happened in the middle of a trip for me. I had been using the app to communicate with people smoothly until it updated. We all ended up downloading Google translate instead, which I previously liked less.
Please bring back auto detection and return to the more user friendly format.

Continuous: good! Else: Bad
I really like the new ability to tap the microphone and have it continuously translate, without it shutting off the microphone every time the speaker pauses. That said, the split screen option should also still be available, as it is not practical to explain to someone speaking a different language that they should download the app and initiate conversation mode on their own phone. It’s a good feature, but should be optional, not mandatory!
Also, please add back in the ability to delete all history at once. I do not wish to individually delete hundreds of translated messages. [UPDATE: Devs say this will be added back in]
Also, there should be a way to do one-way translations. Sometimes the app incorrectly hears Japanese language as English, and tries to translate it into Japanese!

The Imploding App!!!’
This was my go to translator app, I raved about it, but I just received an update yesterday and it is absolute crap now. It’s not even the same app, everything is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! It’s not as easy to use now and I can’t copy and paste the translation like I used to. I used to be able to communicate with my friends by copying translated messages and texting them, amazing, but apparently that was too convenient and made way too much sense, so Microsoft, as usual, had to change everything and ruin a great piece of software, and why? Didn’t it take you guys a lot of time and money to build the previous version m? Anyway translations can no longer be copy/pasted now. Too add to the devastation the app used to have a split screen that you could just talk into your phone and it would translate it facing the other person, amazing idea, the best I’d ever seen, but Microsoft being Microsoft, had to change that too. Why?!?! I’m just glad I don’t drive a Microsoft car or the steering wheel would probably change from side to side annually. Just when you learn to use the software they change it. I don’t even know what this company is thinking anymore, not much, apparently. Honestly I think they just F stuff up to look busy and keep their jobs. I’m downloading my new translator app right now. Don’t even bother with this one. It’s a shadow of its former glory.

New update is horrible.
The old format was simple and easy to use, now it’s confusing and honestly terrible.
Update has ruined this app
The new update has ruined this app, not only is it now more complicated they have taken a backward step and removed many languages from the presenter mode options and for some reason thought it more important to include a large number of different English and Spanish dialects.
Used to be so pleased with this app and we used presenter mode every week, by removing languages from conversation mode Microsoft has now rendered the app useless to us, so disappointing this is not progress… why change what was not broken?
The old version was far 5 stars, the new version is rubbish, please reinstate the languages you have removed

Have been using it for more than 3 years, the new update is so complicated and useless. Now delete it
New Update Actually Pretty Good
When i first submitted this review it was a 1-star rating and i said some neg. things, but after using it for a few days, i came to realize it's actually much better than i initially expected, so i've updated to 4-stars. It's probably 5-stars but i have to give it a few more days of a full workout to prove to myself it meets all my translator needs. Oh, and i am discovering that i much prefer not to have the translate-as-you-type feature, which the older version had and i often found it annoying. Thank you Microsoft, sorry for jumping the gun with my first and wildly inaccurate review.
