Nope, get google translate

Hi Mendoji, Our Japanese Translator + is freemium. You can download it and use all features with ads. But you also have an option to upgrade it with paid subscription so you can access extended dictionary with more examples, bigger Phrasebook with 256 phrase pairs, extended Verb Forms, and no ads. Can you please email info@vidalingua.com, "Attention Marc", and let's work together to make our app perfect? Marc Bolh, CEO Vidalingua
Camera translation not working
Response from developer
Hello, The best approach for app crashing issues is to try to force reboot the iPhone by holding down the Power button and Home button until the device flashes the Apple logo. It’s very important to me that we fix the problem. Can you please email support@vidalingua.com, Attention Marc, so I can make sure the issue is resolved for you? Marc Bolh, Founder Vidalingua
Reference tools for Learning Japanese
Japanese Translator + is a good app that is complementary to other learning resources because it has a collection of reference tools.
The translator does full sentence translations that are accurate for the most part. No machine translator is perfect but this one seems to be as good or better than other popular choices. The dictionary is integrated into the translator so if you look up a single word, you get numerous entries such as part of speech, multiple translations and usage examples. That's an advantage over most translators. You can annotate dictionary words too, haven't seen that in other apps, comes in handy for some words.
The app includes thousands of verb conjugations. Verbs are important to mastering a language so this comes in handy. There is a multiple choice vocab quiz feature and flashcards. You can limit flashcards to dictionary favorites. Would be good if the devs added that to the vocab quizzes. The phrasebook is a bit sparse but you can add your own phrases from the Translator.
I would recommend this app to students or travellers.
