### 5/5 — Very helpful

*2021-12-15*

I’m trying to refresh my memory in Cantonese. Some things are formal sentences. I wish there was more slang included or as option to listen as well. Cantonese has a lot of slang, maybe not easy but will be very helpful. Sometimes when using mic, it will not pick up my voice but restart will work. Thank you and hope there will be more improvements in future.

### 5/5 — LOVVVVE

*2021-05-22*

This is such a great app. I use it to speak with my partner’s parents and they have so much fun with it.

### 4/5 — Good

*2021-02-06*

It is good but I wish that I would be able to paste phrases into the text boxes so that I can translate the Cantonese phrases & sentences that I receive into English sentences

### 5/5 — excellent app !

*2021-01-20*

great for learners.  the voice to cantonese translation into english is helpful.  helps you to learn characters too

### 4/5 — Please add copy and paste text

*2020-12-17*

Works great, except I can’t copy and paste Chinese and English text onto the app.  Please add this feature.  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2020-09-11*

Great app for English speakers learning Cantonese. Much more convenient than searching in a Chinese dictionary. Just say the word and instant definition in English.

### 5/5 — A great app!!

*2020-07-11*

I rarely write reviews, but this app was exactly what I was looking for! ☺️ I really wanted an app that could translate by speaking directly in iMessage and this is one of the best apps for it. I grew up not being able to write Cantonese, so this really helps when it comes to improving my speaking skills! It would be incredible if you could also implement a translation feature by copy and pasting so that I would be able to translate incoming messages. I also notice that the feature in iMessage does get a little buggy sometimes, as it sometimes won’t be able to hear me the first time, and the translation is a bit slow. Overall, I’m really pleased with this app! 

I really hope you guys pick this app up again! It has a lot of potential!!! ❤️
