Overall I would definitely recommend this app :) ### 3/5 — Battery drainer *2023-06-16, version 12.14.19* wish something can do done about the processing ### 4/5 — Worked before now Crashing like crazy for some reason. *2023-01-02* Constant crashes when using voice. Both Korean and Japanese versions ### 3/5 — Crashes frequently *2022-12-19, version 12.13.91* Nice translator, but crashes frequently when using voice recognition ### 2/5 — Does the job but… *2022-07-21* Too many intrusive adds ### 2/5 — Slow *2022-07-05, version 12.13.91* The application freezes often ### 4/5 — A little difficult to learn *2022-01-31* Would be better if automatically translated aloud. This app makes you press the speaker to hear otherwise seems pretty good. One unpleasant thing though is that to use some of the features you have to buy more apps? ### 2/5 — It stopped working *2022-01-26, version 12.13.15* For whatever reason it doesn’t translate the pasted text anymore. ### 3/5 — best translation, BUT!! *2021-08-05, version 12.13.15* best app for translating E to J but 3 Stars for too much ads ### 3/5 — Good but… *2021-07-11* It’s I a good translator with examples which are useful however, the ads come so often when you tap the “speak” icon, so that’s kinda annoying ### 2/5 — Too many ads *2020-12-22* The app is great for translations but there are too many ads. And they’re always the same ad and in the worst timing. There would be like the same ad you got 4 times in a row every 2 translations and it happens during the translation so you have to re listen to it the. You can translate again then when you do another one the same thing happens. ### 3/5 — Well... *2020-06-08* I’ve used this for awhile now and most of the translations are correct. As long as you can get past the pop up ad after just about every click then it’s pretty good. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I don’t recommend it *2026-06-07, version 12.14.27* I payed for the premium version of this app and it doesn’t work properly. I tried adjusting settings, making sure the app was up to date, and contacting the given help line. I never received a response. ### 1/5 — ….. *2026-04-24* Ruined by scammy garbage ads covering full screen every other translation ### 1/5 — 期待はずれ *2025-02-12* 全然オフラインで使えない ### 1/5 — Useless after update *2024-07-19* Upgraded to premium to only for them the update the app so that it is no longer compatible with my iOS. Thanks for screwing me over when there was no need to update an already functioning application. ### 1/5 — App wont even open *2024-05-18, version 12.14.27* Downloaded three times, app wont even open!!! I would give 0 starts if I could. ### 1/5 — Can’t even try it without ads interrupting *2022-09-28* Let me say something to developers out there, if you provide a free trial to people so they can see what the app is like with its full capacity before they purchase it then my advice to you is not to bombard them with ads during the trial so they never get a chance to actually see how good the app is. I have only just started trying this Japanese translator and I have given up after five minutes because I could get no sense at all about how it works and whether it’s going to be useful for me. Now I’m going to move on and try and find something else. I was fully prepared to pay, but I’m not going to pay for something if I don’t know if it’s suitable. Believe me I have paid for lots of apps, I’m not one of these people who think I should be able to get everything for free, because I know the amount of work that goes into these things. Have my money, but make sure the app is what I want. Unfortunately this one didn’t pass the test. ### 1/5 — 急に使いにくくなってしまった、、 *2022-01-27* ここ何日かでアップデートされましたか？ 急に一つ一つの単語の意味しかでなくなってしまいました。 とても使いやすかったのですが、、、 熟語の意味なども出るように戻ってくれたら助かります。 ### 1/5 — Awful but can improve. *2021-07-05, version 12.13.15* When I try to do Japanese to English, nothing works. This is a terrible app. If you were to fix it it would be five stars though. ### 1/5 — アップデートしてから残念 *2021-03-19* 勝手にアップデートされてたから課金メンバーしか使えなくなった。 今まで無料でも素晴らしいクオリティだったのに突然、お金払わないと使えなくなっていてでもこのアプリ気に入ってたので課金してプレミアムメンバーに。 しかし翻訳のクオリティが酷くなっていた、お金払って酷くなるってどーゆうこと？！今までのクオリティはどこへ。マジで元に戻して欲しい、フィードバック送ったので返信来て直してくれなかったら返金して欲しい。 ### 1/5 — Not that good *2020-05-24, version 12.13.15* I used this app once to find out a phrase my friend told me, and maybe 6 words in the entire 20-30 phrase were the same. And they didn’t mean the Same thing at all ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 英単語音声検索バグ *2023-01-12* これまでできていたのに急にできなくなりました iPad mini6です ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2022-04-09* apart from the ads it’s very efficient and accurate! it’s really a great app and i’ll tell others about it too! i can’t believe it’s free but i’m glad because i could not buy it if it cost money and others would not too! that’s why free apps are amazing!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Reply *2022-03-26* I really disappointed, because its not same as before that’s how to translate..Why is it so strange that neither English nor Japanese translations are accurate? The translation of each word is disjointed, that is, the sentences are not connected. Old one was transrating exactly correct and perfect . ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-02-02* I did not expect a japanese app to perfectly translate my english to japanese! It is also helpful, for example you can copy down the japanese chatacters on a piece of paper and learn with the app! You can also impress everyone knowing japanese! I use this app all the time to “refresh” my japanese knowledge. It also works as a pocket translator (if your using a phone or small device). Overall if you want a cool japanese translator this one is right for the job. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-11-30, version 12.13.15* I’m learning to speak Japanese because of this app I love it❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — This app is realy helfull,i am very pleased ,Thanks all of you , *2021-11-06* aj ### 5/5 — シ *2021-06-11, version 12.13.15* i like it, i just wish it showed u how to pronounce it ### 5/5 — 宣伝記事について *2020-02-28* いつも宣伝記事がでてきて、本当に厄介。いい加減目障りになる。 ### 5/5 — Oh hey *2020-02-06, version 12.13.15* I’m Jeff ### 5/5 — Good job 👍 *2020-02-01* 気軽に検索出来て重宝この上ないです👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
