Nervt

Die dauernden Mitteilungen - erst noch auf Englisch - Nerven !!!

Response from developer

Das tut uns leid – ständige Mitteilungen, dazu noch auf Englisch, sollten so nicht sein. Wir nehmen das zur Kenntnis. Schreiben Sie uns bitte an translate.support@hkapplabs.com, dann prüfen wir die Hinweis-Einstellungen und helfen, sie anzupassen.

Sneaky

I paid for a subscription but it asks to upgrade to even open it. SCAM

Response from developer

Your subscription is active — that screen isn't blocking the app. You can close it with the X in the top-left corner and keep using everything you've already paid for. If anything still isn't working after closing it, email us at translate.support@hkapplabs.com and we'll check your account.

Does the job

This app seems to be straightforward, simple to use, and easy to follow. I’m actually learning Spanish! I like the different modes for learning on your own, translating a conversation, and also text. This is an app I will actually use.

Response from developer

Thank you — this is exactly what we hoped people would get out of it. Learning on your own, live conversation, and text really are meant to work together, so it's great to hear all three are clicking for you. Good luck with the Spanish, and email us at translate.support@hkapplabs.com anytime with ideas or questions.

Waste of money

Don’t buy this is absolutely hopeless and a waste of money

Response from developer

We're sorry it didn't work out for you. Tell us what you were trying to do and where it fell short — email us at translate.support@hkapplabs.com and we'll look into it.

Extremely inaccurate translations

You both said it’s better than Google. It’s not 10% of Google and I’m not a Google fan. It is unfit for purpose. Do not buy this.‼️

After using it for a couple of months now it’s absolutely useless. The translation is un meaningless.
Vietnamese to English Chinese to English Malay to English

Response from developer

Sorry for the experience. We’re sorry the translation quality didn’t meet your expectations. Could you let us know which feature and language pair you were using? This information will help us investigate and continue improving translation accuracy. Please contact us at lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com, and we’ll be happy to look into your case.

Ne fonctionne pas bien

Les fonction ne marchent pas et nous n’arrivons pas à avoir une conversation à deux

Response from developer

Désolés pour ce problème. Le mode conversation à deux devrait fonctionner normalement : commencez par vérifier que vous utilisez bien la dernière version de l'application. Si le problème persiste, écrivez-nous à translate.support@hkapplabs.com en précisant votre modèle d'iPhone et les langues utilisées. Nous identifierons la cause et la corrigerons.

Bug

Dommage ne tiens pas ses promesses

Response from developer

Désolés de vous décevoir. Dites-nous ce que vous attendiez et ce qui n'a pas suivi : écrivez-nous à translate.support@hkapplabs.com , nous lisons chaque message et cherchons une solution.

Just got instant translator

This is an amazing tool. I am traveling to Bangladesh and this will be fabulous

Response from developer

Thank you — that's great to hear. If you're heading to Bangladesh, it's worth downloading the Bengali offline pack before you fly, so translation keeps working without a connection. Enjoy the trip, and email us at translate.support@hkapplabs.com if anything comes up along the way.

Appareil auditif

Je voudrais savoir avant de prendre si les appareils auditifs que j’ai sont compatible car ils fonctionnent sur mon iPhone
Merci de votre réponse qui me satisfait il ne me reste plus qu’à essayer

Response from developer

Oui : l'application utilise la sortie audio standard de l'iPhone. Si vos appareils auditifs fonctionnent déjà avec votre iPhone, le son des traductions y sera envoyé de la même façon, sans réglage particulier. Vous pouvez le vérifier gratuitement avant tout achat. Si le son ne s'y dirige pas correctement, écrivez-nous à lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com

WiFi Required

I was disappointed to discover that WiFi had to be available in order for your software to work. Therefore, it was not nearly as useful as I thought it would be. Please cancel my weekly subscription. Thanks.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — a clarification that may help: the app doesn't require WiFi. Online mode works over cellular data as well, and offline mode works with no connection at all once you've downloaded the language pack you need (the download itself requires internet, after that it doesn't). Regarding your subscription, please email us at translate.support@hkapplabs.com and we'll help you sort it out.

Ease of use

A little more detailed explanation for us older folks that are not use to technology would be appreciated but my trip to Thailand in 10 days will a bit easier than 2 other translators I purchased, I do believe. My future mother in law should be very happy to have a conversation with me easily

Response from developer

Thank you — and you're right, the app should explain itself more clearly for anyone who isn't used to this kind of technology. We're working on simpler in-app guidance. In the meantime, email us at lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com with any question before your trip and we'll walk you through it step by step. We hope that first conversation with your future mother-in-law goes wonderfully.

Si tiene un bonito interfaz para escribir Chat y conversación frente a frente

No traduce las llamadas como prometen en el anuncio

Response from developer

Gracias por lo del interfaz, nos alegra que te resulte cómodo. Sobre las llamadas: iOS no permite que las apps accedan al audio de una llamada telefónica, así que la traducción no puede funcionar dentro de la llamada. La alternativa es activar el altavoz y usar el modo conversación. Si el anuncio que viste daba a entender otra cosa, escríbenos a lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com con una captura: queremos revisarlo.

No recomendado

Estafadores cobran doble para poder obtener según el derecho de usar la aplicación.

Scam

Don’t buy this. The first time I opened it, it was locked and asked for another $99.99 to unlock it for a life time. I called APPLE. I had better get my money back. Why people need to scam. APPLE AHOULD DE DELIST THEM.

sound

the app appears that you can listen and hear through your earpods?

Does not work

I purchased this app and it doesn’t work very well translating incorrectly for Vietnamese language.

I cannot understand what someone is saying and fails to comprehend the complete sentence of the spoken word in Vietnamese.
I tested it with my wife who is Vietnamese from Hanoi
It cannot pickup either the spoken language English or Vietnamese and translate.
It does not function as described in the advertisement.

Response from developer

Sorry for the experience. We'd like to investigate this further. Could you let us know which Vietnamese dialect you were translating (Northern, Central, or Southern, if known), and which feature you were using (Text, Voice, Real-Time, or Camera Translate)? Please contact us at lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com with a few example translations, and we'll look into the issue and continue improving Vietnamese translation quality.

Шняга полная

Заплатил за пожизненное пользование 10000 руб, а результата, как в инстаграмной рекламе, нет. При живом разговоре приложение очень долго думает при переводе простейших фраз. Нет возможности поменять тембр и гендер голоса. За что я, спрашивается, заплатил? Встроенный эппловской переводчик даже быстрее переводит живую речь. Да плюс к тому там есть гибкие настройки тембра и гендера голоса. И абсолютно бесплатно. За такую халтуру, да еще с такой обдираловкой больше единицы ставить не буду!

Response from developer

Извините за впечатление — замечания по делу. Задержка в живом разговоре не является нормой, разберёмся. Выбора мужского/женского голоса сейчас действительно нет, добавим в одном из ближайших обновлений. Напишите нам на lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com — поможем разобраться лично.

No customer service

I have tried repeatedly to download Spanish language so I can use the app when I am off-line. I have found no way to download the app, despite following all of the written information. I have repeatedly asked for assistance from Instant Translator and I have never received an answer. Basically the app is useless to me. I wish I could give it zero stars.

Response from developer

Sorry for the confusion, and we sincerely apologize for not responding sooner. At the moment, Instant Translator does not support offline translation. We understand this may have been disappointing if you were expecting to download language packs for offline use. Offline mode is already in development, and we hope to make it available in a future update. Thank you for your feedback. If you have any questions, please contact us at lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com

Plainte

Déçu de l’application car je croyais être capable de Parler en direct avec les employés sans avoir à sortir mon cellulaire.

Response from developer

Nous sommes désolés que l'application n'ait pas répondu à vos attentes. Pour le moment, les conversations traduites se font dans l'application et nécessitent l'utilisation du téléphone. Nous apprécions votre retour, car il nous aide à améliorer nos fonctionnalités. Si vous avez des questions ou besoin d'aide, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à lihui.pan@hkapplabs.com
