Not working for Japanese language
I just went on a trip to Japan and though this app would help but it disn’t. I tried it many time to translate menus and sentences but it would translate in something totally different. For exemple I wanted to translate a brochure about the city of Kyoto and it would translate “fatty tuna”. It is so off. Very disappointing for Japanese language anyway.

Very useful app
It can take a few goes to get the translation right sometimes, and it can take a few more goes if there’s a lot of varying colours/shapes behind the text, but usually translates it without hassle and all-in-all a very useful app for a tourist in China, Japan or Korea.
Absolutely useless.
I’ve tried this app on 2 different occasions, months apart and both times it only translates one to two words in a line of text. And then I get a box asking if I want to upgrade. No. If it can’t translate 2 lines of a clothing label, how could it ever translate a menu as the professional ad has it seem. Makes me question if the highly positive feedback is self-promotion. After trying the app, that’s what it looks like.

Paid app performs poorly
Paid for the app, but worked worse than free google translate (had to use vpn in China though).
It works perfectly fine
It works perfectly fine, I was skeptical at first because of all the reviews but it ok.
Japanese needs a lot of improvement
I don’t think you should charge £6 for the Japanese. Reading the reviews my understanding is that Chinese works pretty well. Let’s be honest the Japanese translator still needs some work. My impression was that a few words kept coming up no matter the situation (ie. Bathroom signs translated with “chicken “ or “beef”.... whatever I was scanning was “chicken” and “beef”). Hope it will improve with time. But you can’t charge that much for the Japanese one. I was not expecting perfection... I imagine this is a software very hard to develop. But would have appreciated a bit of honesty from you and charged less. I guess I would have supported you anyway (as I think the app has a great potential). Instead you charged me nearly £7 for something that doesn’t work and I am here now writing a bitter review.

Works very well
A little trouble with handwritten or dark background but really very useful
Useless
The translations provided are complete jibberish in every instance I have used the app in my week in Japan. Definitely not worth the £6.99 paid for the offline version - you’re better off using google translate, for free
Lousy in Japanese
Not one single sign. Not one. It’s a bust.
Makes life easy!
This has become a tool I cannot live without in China!
So quick at translations. Thank you!
