  • So valuable!

    I spent 5 weeks in China and this was life changing. I was able read menus which was the most fun and entertaining. With all the choices in every restaurant large or small, i was able to try all the things i wanted! I read menus like novels so it was incredible!
    It was great for reading train tickets, signage and descriptions. I brought back ingredients and have been able to translate the packaging and recipes in Asian grocery stores here in the US!

  • Don’t buy!

    This app is absolute trash! I bought the paid version and none of the translations are correct. Doesn’t recognize the majority of characters and translates every other word into ‘tuna’ or ‘salmon’ when they are not even fish or food items. Do not waste your money on this terrible attempt at an app!!

  • Disappointed

    I had high hopes for Waygo Japanese to English. The single line translation couldn’t ever find any test, despite it being in the brackets. The multi-line option mostly produced gibberish.
  • Useless

    Can't recognise text most of the time. When it can translation is ridiculously wrong. Good for a laugh, but just a poorly made app with no development. God help you if you travel with this app.
  • Don't use for Japanese

    I was too desperate to find a translator in Tokyo and made the mistake of wasting $6.99 on this useless inferior quality crap before discovering one minute later that Google Translate does it ten times better and for free. If I could just get my $6.99 back I would erase this review, but no refunds exist - conveniently for them I suppose. Make sure your software works before selling it!

  • Great app for traveling

    Very useful app while in Asia. It comes handy to navigate menus written in Chinese.
  • Bad

    Totally inaccurate
  • Great

    This is THE app for translating restaurant menus and signs in China. But be warned, it eats your battery! I’ve bought a battery pack so I can use it all day.
  • Works well

    Have used this several times for business translations. Worth a go if your reading level is a little lacking in Chinese/Koren/Japanese.
  • DO NOT BUY! WASTE OF MONEY!

    In Japan - This app does not work well, if at all. Google is free and better (but still not great). I didn’t find out until my money was already wasted.
