Refund

This app is terrible. I wish I would’ve NEVER purchased it. I have scanned several items and it has not translated one. Do not waste your money. If I could return it, I definitely would.

Response from developer

We're sorry the scans didn't translate for you — that's not the experience we want. Please open the app, tap Settings (top-left) → Contact Us so we can look into it with you.

Slower than Google and cost $40

Not worth, I want a refund. Google Translate is free and faster

Response from developer

Sorry this didn’t feel worth it for you — that’s frustrating. We can’t process refunds here in the App Store, but if you open Kuli Kuli → Settings (top-left) → Contact Us, we can help look into it. Thanks for the honest feedback.

Good app overall

Good app, some bad UI decisions like the upper window being inverse(??) but it can be reversed. Will probably use this on my trips. Would really appreciate an option on the east asian languages where I could see not only the kanjis/hanzis but also a pronunciation subtitle or indicator, so I can at least try to speak it and not have a robotic voice always speaking for me, would also improve learning overall imo.

Response from developer

Thanks so much — glad you’ll use it on your trips! We’ve noted your idea about pronunciation subtitles for East Asian languages; that would help a lot with learning. Appreciate the thoughtful feedback.

유료결제 했는데

음성 버튼을 누르면 작업을 완료할 없다고 나오는데요??? 해결해주시길 바랍니다!!

Response from developer

결제하셨는데 불편을 드려 죄송합니다. 음성 버튼 오류는 휴대폰 설정에서 블루투스를 껐다가 다시 켜 보시고, 앱을 최신 버전으로 업데이트해 주세요. 말할 때는 버튼을 끝까지 길게 눌러 주시고, 마이크 권한도 확인 부탁드립니다. 그래도 안 되면 왼쪽 위 설정 → 문의하기로 메일 주시면 바로 도와드리겠습니다.

Helped me immensely.

Kuli Kuli is a life saver for those small moments when you’re overseas in a foreign country with no idea how to speak the language. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a way to see the pronunciation under the result of what you’re translating.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! We're really glad Kuli Kuli helped you out abroad. Showing pronunciation under translations is a great idea, and we've passed it along to the team.
