Reading option not working

the reading function for EN only works once and you have to re-open the app every time you want it to read a new word.

Feels dead

They took too long to add essential features and now AI is here so who would pay for something Google can do for free and better.

No longer the most accurate translator

Seems that they have focused to much on AI, that forgot that people chose them over the others because the app used to be reliable. Now it misses the context completely or just gives blank spaces at times. Such a shame because I used to recommend it over Google translator

Excelente

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

FFS

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?

A poor translator

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

Great for correct grammar

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.

Bug

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

В верхнем окне кнопка озвучки слова не работает!

Kurdish ( Badini )

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.

Suggestion

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

Ens***ified

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

Terrible Customer Service

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

The pronunciation feature barely works at all.

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

Bad update

The most recent update makes the app much more difficult to use. Why did you delete the Copy (output) button?!? Without that, it requires several tedious steps to “send” the output to a specific app. 😫

What if I just want to paste into a note or an email I already have in progress??? It’s so much easier to just copy and paste. 😩

Live conversation mode

My primary purpose was to use the live conversation mode. In just a little bit of quick testing it’s far behind the free Google Translate.

Very very bad

Very bad app doesn’t translate just give the same word every time no synonym, please don’t use it.

Accurate translation

I use the app for German, French and other languages regularly and in the browsers too on iOS and Mac. The accuracy of translation and understanding of context is excellent. 2 limitations of the app: No offline translations. This is very helpful when there's no network or it's poor. This is a plus in Google. The other one is handwriting. When I want to explore translations of languages like Greek, Kannada etc it's easier to write by hand . This would be a nice feature to have

Used to love this app, but…

I don’t know why, but the quality and functionality of this app has been totally ruined the past few updates. I use it for Japanese primarily and the “alternative sentences” function no longer works, the camera translate function (where you take a picture through the app rather than import one) no longer works on vertical text… I love DeepL so I don’t *want* to give a low rating, but it’s really upsetting to watch a once-reliable app become so useless.

Está péssimo

Pra mim esse era o melhor tradutor, agora com muitas atualizações bugs e IA o app ficou horrível sempre aparece que está offline, traduções péssimas, infelizmente tive que parar de usar.

Listening

Great translation but if like me you are trying to learn a language ( Spanish) when you hit the speaker to hear the translation, it is so fast it’s almost impossible to understand
