  • GREAT APP

    I’ve been using this for 4 years and it’s genuinely a great app I love it!!! Easy and fast results. Ofc I don’t have to use it often over the course of the 4 years because I’m not in a lot of situations where I need it but whenever I do need to translate an image it’s a great app to use and have :) never thought of leaving a review till now lol oops, downloading it because I got a new phone

  • Really?

    To start off, getting the big "buy out membership! Do it! Buy it!" Being thrown into my face literally every two second not even kidding is obnoxious even in itself. Then theres the fact that your only allowed to take three pictures a day without spending 5 bucks a month is also quite insane. I could buy a mbership to watch all the shows i want with what theyre wanting me to spend to take more than three pictures a day. Interestng. Also its a friggen lie. I was only able to take 2 pictures in the first place with out the app going "too bad give us your money." On a good note this reminded me why i dont use mobile apps anymore and just use the internet or random programs on my pc. Thank you for this important lesson. Oh and oh yeah a lotta ads but at least that was expected. Gotta make money somehow but not like this with this pay to use garbage. This isnt world of warcraft for the love of god.

  • I used it to translate instructions for something I ordered online

    This was very useful for what I needed. I received a package this week that had instructions in a different language. I used this app because I needed to take a picture of the instructions and have them translated so I could understand. It worked instantly. Make sure you do good lighting and wipe your lens and it should work perfectly. This would be a great app for someone who is ordering a lot of things from overseas that needs the instruction images translated or someone reading a book in another language or traveling etc. I only needed it for a one time thing but if I needed it often I would choose this app :)

  • Really good

    This app is pretty good. It doesn’t make you pay for a photo, and so far not many ads. Only problem is, is that it doesn’t translate everything correctly. I was trying to figure out what the glamour of something was and if I was safe for me to eat since I’m vegetarian and I could translate one word in it, so I knew what it said but once I tried the app it said it was the word tonsil- even though I knew it was almond. But overall pretty good

  • I didn’t like it

    The app is fine, but it depends on the language and length of what you’re trying to translate. For example: I was trying to transite these two russian words from my sheet music. The app worked. However, when i needed it to translate a paragraph of Chinese, the translation was awful. Wether it translates by line or paragraph (two different options in the app) it makes no difference and translates it the same. I’m assuming it has to do with the grammar, Chinese grammar is very different from English and is hard to translate, but I wasn’t satisfied.

  • Greed v.s Needed profit

    I’m perfectly fine with developers of these apps making money and to be honest ad’s don’t really bother me, however this app in particular will purposefully crash multiple times when you choose a photo to translate and then count that towards your daily three translations. Usually you could push this to the side as an honest mistake but it only happens coincidentally when you meet the threshold of a single image and only does this three times, deletes the “translated” image from your history, and doesn’t allow you to use the app until you either upgrade or watch an ad. I would much rather sit through 5 ad’s as a user rather than be manipulated by the app crashing 50 times to download it’s subscription. I understand that you have to make your money with subscriptions and ad’s, making an app and keeping it up is hard and expensive. But if your app is going to be this greedy to manipulate the user of it why not just make the app itself cost money at that point.

  • Offline Downloads Don’t Work

    Beware if you are using this with the intention of downloading languages for offline translation. They do not download. This was the main reason I paid for the premium service yet not a single language will download. I waited for hours and hours for Japanese and nothing ever came to fruition. Contacted the support team on the app and they told me to contact Apple for a refund. Definitely a scam.

  • 3 day trial trick and non existing customer service’

    This company is as crooked as they come. They advertised a free three day trial. I expected if I didn’t cancel before the 3 days were over, I’d be charged the yearly rate of $29. To my surprise, they charged me right away. At the time, there wasn’t enough funds to cover the $29 in that account. I attempted to contact them to discuss it. They never responded to my concern, all the while they kept hitting my account several times a day for about two weeks, until finally there were enough funds for them to take. I will be filing a complaint with Apple. To this day, they have not responded to my issue. They’ve told me how to cancel, but not what can be done about the $29 they took from me for the 3 day trial.
    BEWARE of this company.
    I wish I could leave negative stars.

  • Love it

    I love the app . I had to translate Latin, and since that’s a dead language it hard to find apps that translate that. But the best part it was FREE! At the start it says if you want to pay, but you don’t have to. I would definitely recommend this app.
  • Expensive for a not-so-good app

    I was looking for an app that translates from photos so that I can understand the packaging and products in the store. This app does that, so I get an idea of the product. But I find that translation from Japanese to English is not so great. I paid quite a bit for a year subscription because I thought I would use it a lot. But then I discovered that I can just use the google translate app, which seems to be much more accurate, and I don’t have to actually take a picture if I don’t want to. Anyway I canceled my subscription according to the apple support instructions that the developers pointed to in their responses to other reviews (great that they seem to be very responsive). Of course that just means it won’t get renewed next year. It would be nice get some of my premium back, on a pro-rated basis.
