I do not prefer to use the microphone ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-10-02* It’s ok. A bit outdated linguistically but functions ok. ### 3/5 — App works! *2023-09-03* The app works well, but the pop up nag screen for a review is a real nuisance. ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2023-05-22* It’s ok. A bit outdated linguistically but functions ok. ### 5/5 — Pleased *2023-02-02, version 1.9.0* App works really good, I really like the easy copy button… I wish the app had spilt screen communications so I didn’t have to hand my phone to people I was speaking with so they knew what I was trying to say… ### 5/5 — Works well with several languages I know *2022-11-01, version 1.8.8* I’ve been using Google translate and it absolutely is awful for translating from English to Arabic! This app gets the translation right every time! I highly recommend it. ### 3/5 — Why isn’t my language available? *2022-10-26, version 1.8.8* We need bangla language ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2022-10-24, version 1.8.8* Works flawlessly. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2022-10-20, version 1.8.6* Best I’ve ever used! ### 5/5 — Works great! *2022-10-19, version 1.8.6* This is a very easy to use translation app! It has many languages to choose from and perfect for traveling or if your work or day to day life brings you in contact with people who do not speak your language. I’d always relied on Google translate but this is far better and much easier to use. ### 4/5 — Great App *2022-10-18, version 1.8.6* It’s a great app, but the volume is set too low. As a healthcare professional this is very helpful for communicating with my non-English speaking patients. My one and only gripe is when I play the recording, back, the volume is entirely too low for my patients to hear, even with the volume all the way up on my phone. ### 5/5 — Great application *2022-05-18, version 1.7.2* Thank you so much for this application it is amazing. ### 4/5 — Good *2020-09-15, version 1.7.2* Nice app. Works well. Needs an Internet connection. Otherwise it would be five stars. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It does not work! *2023-05-16* It does not work. ### 1/5 — After update *2022-10-22, version 1.8.8* After the app update happened it could not interpret from Korean into Arabic. It seems it could not handle the load processing for a couple sentences, ### 1/5 — Where is Persian language ??😒😠 *2020-11-05, version 1.7.2* Shame on you for mixing politics and science Why did you think with your self to ignore Persian language in your list Persian language is the most beautiful language in the world, Persian language is for love and poems !!!!! ### 1/5 — Bo persian language????? *2019-07-21, version 1.7.0* I wonder how you can ignor persian language with > 100 million persians all over the world! One of the four ancient languages with two times more words and phrases than english. The language of poet and love! It’s a great shame for its developers to mix politics with science! I’m sorry for you! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2019-03-19, version 1.6.3* I’m a nurse and sometimes see Spanish speaking patients. This app makes me sound like a crazy person, and makes them sound crazy, too. Awful translation. ### 1/5 — No offline support *2015-02-23, version 1.5* I bought this for the soul reason for offline use which it says it has as one of its updates and it doesn't. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2013-08-10, version 1.2.1* This app is garbage, save your money. I wish I could give it less than one star. You buy the app the. Have to buy additional add-ons to get it to do what is advertised. It's just a couple if bucks so I gave it a shot. Half the time it fails to connect, on a solid wifi connection, to make the translation. I got it to speak the translation in the target language one time. Now it continues to prompt me for the voice selection every time and then gives me a message saying "query cancelled". Disappointing apps are one thing but I hate when I buy stuff that just doesn't work. ### 2/5 — History management *2023-05-16* I can’t delete the history the app shows me that I delete the history and then when I open it again it’s there like nothing happened and there’s no history archive, and if you add the offline translation it will be a great addition. ### 2/5 — Note *2022-10-20, version 1.8.6* Please enable offline translation to make the program beautiful. ### 2/5 — Not for Danish *2018-12-24, version 1.6.2* Copenhagen may be wonderful, but not if you truly upon the translations provided by this app. Basic words get translated fine, but common phrases that have been around for decades receive mechanical and incorrect translations. Five stars? Det passer jo ikke. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Pleased *2023-12-24* App works really good, I really like the easy copy button… I wish the app had spilt screen communications so I didn’t have to hand my phone to people I was speaking with so they knew what I was trying to say… ### 5/5 — Legit *2023-09-15* Good app for speaking into and having to type less ### 5/5 — Great translator. *2023-08-03* Very useful on my travels.
