## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — だめよ

*2019-08-17, version 3.3.0*

Very bad, you should fix it

### 1/5 — You should just stick to google translate

*2018-09-17, version 3.3.0*

Yeah this app doesn’t do any better that google translate and I would say it does even worse

### 1/5 — Not helpful

*2016-09-07, version 3.0.4*

This app does not give accurate translations.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2013-12-31, version 2.0.8*

While reading a book with a number of Japanese terms in the narrative, I wanted to doublecheck their meanings. None of them are translated into proper English! They are listed in English as identical to the Japanese words. And no definitions are supplied.

### 5/5 — Learning Haiku

*2016-07-20, version 3.0.3*

I am learning about Haiku Poetry. I have good dictionaries but I tried this app and discovered a new way to write my poems in Japanese. I am a 70 year old White, male, American and would like to visit Japan someday. This app is great and extremely accurate, I checked my dictionary and it's better than I thought it could ever be. I also like that I can retranslate the translation and arrive at a better English sentence. 5 Stars.

### 5/5 — LOVE IT

*2016-06-09, version 3.0.2*

I love the app I'm learning so much and I'm going to Learn much more!!!😊😜

### 5/5 — Great friendly companion

*2016-04-04, version 3.0.1*

I downloaded this app. Few days back and currently enjoying its functions. I would have wished the app. to have the "Romaji" translation features, I guess it would greatly help Japanese language learners. I am grateful to the developers for a job well done. Thank you so much. My rating on the app is 5+

### 5/5 — Great website tool finally in app form.

*2015-08-06, version 2.1.1*

Google Translate is
more comprehensive features wise but when it comes to pure translation I feel like nothing beats excite.co (which is the translation website this app is based on) and it edges out Google in this area just a bit. Been using it for years.

Both are free apps however so I recommend using both if you want it to be as accurate as possible.

### 5/5 — AWESOME but....

*2015-07-30, version 2.1.1*

I think you should have settings for informal and formal language and that you should also include the romaji spelling under the kana or something like that. I think romaji would be the best thing you could add to this, but other than that I thinks it's awesome!
