### 5/5 — Excelente

*2026-08-15*

O melhor tradutor comparado com o Traduzir do IPhone e o Google translate. Mas na verdade este tradutor traduz só para o português de Portugal e não o português do Brasil. Tem que melhorar essa parte

### 1/5 — FFS

*2026-08-14, version 26.46*

Kinda works, was better.
Really annoying feature now is that upon opening it defaults to translating the input language into… the same language .
Why can they not grasp that either the input or the output should always default to my native language?

### 1/5 — A poor translator

*2026-08-13, version 26.46*

He’s not translating; he’s just spouting some nonsense

### 5/5 — Great for correct grammar

*2026-08-13*

I am working on relearning German, which I spoke as a child through young adult. The toughest aspect of German is its grammar. Other apps are riddled with errors. My German family has reviewed translations provided by DeepL and found them very accurate, including the more difficult grammar aspects. My family is from Bavaria, so there are also differences in vocabulary and idiomatic expressions (although many are found in the „Alternatives“ section). I am teaching my almost three-year-old granddaughter German side-by-side with English. I appreciate the feature that allows me to hit the record button, say the phrase in English, then say the provided typed phrase in German for my granddaughter. Occasionally, I will play the recording, giving her the opportunity to hear a voice other than mine. For myself, I use the regular speed to double check my pronunciation accuracy, but I appreciate the option that allows me to slow down the phrase for my toddler granddaughter. Thank you for such a great app! It means a lot to have a source that I trust to teach me and my granddaughter virtually error free.

### 1/5 — Bug

*2026-08-07*

Уже больше месяца эту ошибку никто не исправляет! Как это можно было не заметить. 

В верхнем окне кнопка озвучки слова не работает!

### 5/5 — Kurdish ( Badini )

*2026-08-05, version 26.42*

I request of your excellency, I hope, I hope you add the Kurdish language, Badini dialect. Many people are waiting for this thing, even if you rely on Gemini, just so this dialect is added.

### 3/5 — Suggestion

*2026-08-05, version 26.42*

The translation software is good, You need more for the keyboard translation. Thank you so much ! I like free.

### 1/5 — Ens***ified

*2026-08-04, version 26.42*

You now need a pro subscription to translate anything. Just awful. Leadership should be ashamed

### 1/5 — Terrible Customer Service

*2026-08-03, version 26.42*

Expect no response for at least 2 weeks. But on top of it nothing helpful comes out. Left a bad taste.

### 1/5 — The pronunciation feature barely works at all.

*2026-07-30, version 26.42*

When I tap the speaker icon, the app rarely plays the sound (word pronunciation)
