Amazing!! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-11-20, version 1.6* Went to a zoo with my little one 🐥, so the object mode was so helpful! ### 5/5 — Best *2020-11-20, version 1.6* Worked perfectly well for me, I used Holo for Russian to English translation ### 5/5 — TOP *2020-11-20, version 1.6* Take a picture of something and it will quickly translate it. Nice job!👍🏿 ### 5/5 — fami *2020-10-14, version 1.4* This is the most useful app ever given the complexity of family, friends and we travel a lot. ### 5/5 — 🙂 *2020-10-13, version 1.4* I’m very impressed with perfectly accurate translations ### 5/5 — Emma *2020-10-13, version 1.4* This app is awesome! I use this app in my foreign language classes to help me understand what I'm reading and its awesome. This app can't get any better!🥳 ### 5/5 — Bob *2020-10-13, version 1.4* I don't do reviews but this app deserves it. This app is amazing. I was looking for such app years ago but did not found a which is this much accurate and this is free too. Thanks ### 5/5 — Comment *2020-10-11, version 1.4* In short, this app is PERFECT💞. I translated a couple of Korean texts and they were unexpectedly perfectly recognized and translated. Thank you so much! ### 5/5 — Review *2020-10-11, version 1.4* I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. I'm always buying books because I don't want to lose all the poignant passages from my memory, but with this app, I can just snap a photo of the text and get an instant translation. The library is now my best friend :) ### 5/5 — App *2020-10-10, version 1.4* Works great. Is a tremendous help navigating through windows menus in a foreign language, when a translator is not available. I've tried to get on the fancy greeting cards and surprisingly it works quite well for those scripts as well. Great job to the developers! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2022-08-10, version 2.3.1* doesnt work until you pay. no way to see if it works until you pay for a subscription. ### 1/5 — Horrible App with paywalls on everything *2022-08-08, version 2.3.1* Need to translate words on cooking instructions and tells me billing must be enabled. Also the premium offer is awful and takes up the whole screen. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2020-10-25, version 1.4* The reason I hate it is you have to pay ### 1/5 — NOT FREE! *2020-10-17, version 1.4* I read reviews FIRST & one said “and it’s free.” I downloaded it & got to test it once — ONCE, & now every time I try to test it (the first test didn’t work because they don’t have Hawai’ian), I get the screen to signup for the trial. Deleting. 😡 ### 2/5 — bruh *2022-08-17, version 2.3.1* its useful but you gotta pay for it ### 4/5 — 👍 *2020-10-01, version 1.3* Great app for text translation. I’m taking Hebrew at a local college and we are required to give quite a few essays😅 So, I like to use the app to make sure I’m writing the words correctly using the text translation option. So far so good and I’m looking at getting an A in the class. ### 4/5 — Olivia *2020-09-25, version 1.3* I am a teacher and speak 0% Spanish🤷🏻‍♀️ Sometimes we have students transfer in that do not speak any English. This is so helpful to me in order to communicate with my students! ### 5/5 — Nice *2021-09-13, version 2.2.0* Great app, it’ll be great to have a list of the words that I scanned before ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2021-09-13, version 2.2.0* Fun way to learn new words ### 5/5 — Exited *2021-09-13, version 2.2.0* Honestly I use it just for fun at the moment, but I’m exited for my next trip ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lovely *2021-09-13, version 2.2.0* Good app, you can even upload an old photo ### 5/5 — :)) *2021-09-12, version 2.2.0* Love it ### 5/5 — Great *2021-09-12, version 2.2.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Very useful for travelling *2021-09-12, version 2.2.0* I like the fact it can translate the inscriptions, very helpful ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-09-12, version 2.2.0* So cool you can translate everything! ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-09-11, version 2.2.0* Nice addition to my travel apps folder 😊 ### 5/5 — Good *2021-09-10, version 2.1.3* I like this app, but it doesn’t recognize the item clearly sometimes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
