  • Best app to have in China

    Best use is for translating restaurant menus and street signs.
  • Hilariously bad

    Have tried this on a range of Japanese text. Not even close. A few minutes of amusement but that's it. Deleted.
  • Extremely frustrating and upset I wasted money on this

    Its a super frustrating app to use. I got this while I was in japan hoping it would help me read kanji. However, this app requires so much patience and time its not effective as an app. You need to absolutely not shake ur phone when using it but thats impossible since its a hand held device and its bound to shake a bit. It doesn't read it right away even if you try your best to stand still and make sure you have a lot of light and when it does it only reads it partially. Then, the photo feature doesn't work it'll say it cant read it even though its a crisp photo. Definitely NOT worth the price at all. Don't waste your money on this!

  • Steady hand and ideal conditions need to making work

    I'm on holidays in japan for 2 weeks so I figured could be really helpful. After checking some online short reviews I decided ti get the paid version. Seeing the app work in real life I'd say it was wasted money. The recognition only works if you really have some steady hands as well computer text. Anything but text in the OCR window confuses the system. I would not recommend it. The positive about the app is that it can work offline.

  • Translations

    I have used this app for the last 2 years in China & have found it works very well especially on menus,paid for the upgrade to unlimited which I think was a reasonable price,might not be 100% accurate all the time but is very useful & I wouldn't be without it now.
  • Awesome!

    Works great! Now I can read my Japanese manga!! Thanks Waygo!!
  • So useful!

    I live in China and use this app nearly everyday. Considering how tough it is to translate Mandarin it does a great job!
  • Very helpful

    This is great it worked for me because I had a japan candy kit and I didn't know how to read it and I used the app and I knew what it said after. Great app👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
  • So inaccurate it's hilarious!

    I just went on vacation to Japan (actually I'm still here now). This app translates most Japanese to "hand", "one" or just doesn't pick anything up at all. I've tried the app in poor and great lighting, with large and small text. Not once has it translated anything correctly. Seriously, you're better off searching online or using any other translation app/service.
