Terrible app
This app was auto installed on my phone with the latest update. I already had Google Translate and let me just say, Google Translate is SO much better! This app is not at all easy to use and it cannot instantly translate written words the way Google does. I hadn’t noticed right away that there were now two apps on my phone for translate. At first I had thought this was an update for Google Translate and I was so upset because I thought I would be lost in a foreign country unable to understand anyone around me. I was so thrilled when I finally figured out that Google Translate was still the same. I promptly deleted this app from my phone and will NEVER download it again or attempt to use it again.

Doesn’t work at all
No matter what I try to get this app to work, it remains completely inert and non- functioning. Rather underwhelming.
This is the best translate! But- Just one thing.
This is just a lot better then google translate. This has really helped me learned Korean as I always have wanted to. But sometimes the app can be glitched where I can’t change the language. But still though this is a really helpful, awesome and cool app.
N/A
When selecting text to translate I get this issue:
Translation is not available at the moment.
Try again at a later time.

Not working
I’m trying to use the translation app but it fits not work on my iPhone 11 Pro.
Weak
Apple engineers really need to use google assistant and translate. Apple's machine learning is joke level.
French
There should be French Canadian loaded not only Paris French
No Traditional Chinese!?
Why don’t you support Traditional Chinese?
Deleted the app right away and keep using google for now.

The UI is weird
At first it looked so minimal i thought their wasn't any pinyin for the Chinese. Then I found the book icon to see more information. But you have to tap the Chinese word to see more detail of that word, otherwise you're just seeing the definition of the word you already translated into.
iOS 14 I could translate straight from safari. Or iBooks? I can't remember anymore. This one has so many buttons I'll just stick to Pleco and google translator.

UI issues
This could be a really nice app, but the states the interface gets into are confusing. Often the app somehow gets into a state where it’s in the wrong language and it’s hard to get it to the right one.
It would be helpful if the app made it plainly obvious, at all times, which language is active for translation. Often it has no indication of this onscreen. And the placeholder text (“Enter Text”) changes languages when you tap on it, further confusing which language is active.
It would make more sense if the placeholder text always gave you the name of the language it’s expecting. (Like, if French is active, always put “French” in the field as placeholder text.) “Enter text” is not helpful placeholder text because your users aren’t morons. You tap on that field and a keyboard shows up! What else are they gonna do? Much better to show the active language instead.
