### 1/5 — Pay per translation

*2019-03-21*

It doesn’t say so in the app description, but those “coins” that you buy as in-app purchases are used for each translation. 1 translation=1 coin. If you plan to use this for anything more than occasional amusement, the costs are going to build up. Deal breaker for me

**Developer response:** That is right, each AR Translation is a coin, that is how numbers are set.
Users can watch rewarded videos each of which give 5 coins, that way people can use the app as much as they want without paying at all.

### 1/5 — ocr works....

*2019-03-03*

it doesnt translate anything... at least in thai

**Developer response:** This App rely on languages supported by Google translate. Although the supported language list is very exhaustive, it does not cover every language spoken on the earth. We plan to kept following Google translate list.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

### 5/5 — Supper convenient to translate and share

*2019-01-14*

I liked it convince, just take image while shopping and see in the language you like. Also, I use it to keep note and share the text from the book l read. Use it to convert to text and email when I don’t need translation. Very cool and convenient. Works better then I expected.

### 5/5 — Ease of use
