I placed a piece of candy in front of the smallest one, hoping it too would be protected. - Added Cantonese (Guangdonghua) support - Improved translation quality and performance - Fixed several issues

User reviews

Such a useful app

Such a useful app for travelling in Japan! I used it to translate menus and product labels and it made everything so much easier. Simple to use and really accurate. Would recommend to anyone planning a trip to Japan

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the kind review, saramethe! We’re really glad Kuli Kuli made menus and product labels easier on your trip to Japan. Safe travels, and we hope it continues to help on your next adventure.

Excellent, but minor drawbacks

When It comes to translation and explanation, absolutely excellent. No discussion.
Two drawbacks: one smaller one more serious.
Tha smaller one. Sometimes it is just unhandlich to make a photo first. A live version would be nice.
The more serious one, at least for learners: if you do want to learn a language with a different writing system than your own, it would be very nice, if you could copy the symbols and put them into your learning sheets. But coping is not working.

Response from developer

Thank you for the kind words and the clear feedback. Voice conversation translation is on our roadmap for the next major version, so you’ll be able to translate spoken conversations more naturally. We’ve also passed the copy issue to our engineers and they’re investigating it now—thanks for flagging it, and safe travels with Kuli Kuli.

IT WILL COST UOU

Danger. It will override any translation app you have. When you first open it. You need to subscribe. Only 2 free translation a day. That is it. Then you’re doomed. To remove app, I’ll prompt you to choose another translation app. No work around. Then you’re able to delete. Don’t even bother to get this app. Stick with the leader Google Translate.

Response from developer

When you set Kuli Kuli as the system translation app (which is also unlimited free), iOS requires you to switch the system translator to another app before you can uninstall Kuli Kuli. This is an Apple iOS limitation, not something we control—sorry for the inconvenience. We’ll keep improving the experience.
