### 2/5 — Translates website horribly

*2026-05-25, version 8.2.0*

It is adding punctuation marks randomly

### 3/5 — すごい

*2026-05-01*

助けてくれた

### 4/5 — اخر اصدار للتطبيق

*2026-04-24, version 8.1.0*

عند تحميل اللغة العربية يعمل كراش

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-02-21, version 7.9.1*

Costs quite a lot of money for a translating app

### 1/5 — Бесит

*2026-02-05*

Очень много рекламы

### 2/5 — Not working, no help. Shame

*2026-02-03, version 7.9.0*

I’ve never had to write a review in hopes the developer will respond to a problem. Until last week app has been great, had it for years never an issue. The problem, I use it daily, I go into the app and I’ve been logged out. Nothing new, this sometimes happens after an update. I go to log in and I get an error message ‘couldn’t save security token’. Weird. I try my phone, my desktop version, all saying the same error. I uninstall, and reinstall, no luck. I check for caches etc, none to do no issues there. My internet is fine. What is going on? I paid for the app, that now no longer works. Unable to log in at all. I sent support an email and have been ignored. Hoping to hear back here. Just crazy there no way to explain if it’s their server that is having issues, fine but no explanation, no help! Please developer help fix this, I need it, as I use daily.

### 2/5 — No

*2026-02-02, version 7.9.0*

Doesn’t work on the website

### 1/5 — Vô trách nhiệm

*2026-01-31*

Mua bản quyền rồi mà tự dưng không vào được nữa. Nhắn tin qua mail thì không trả lời. Vô trách nhiệm

### 1/5 — Unusable due to total silence

*2026-01-30, version 7.9.0*

I’m writing this reluctantly, because when Mate Translate works, it’s not just useful, it's something I rely on daily. Losing access feels less like losing an app and more like losing dexterity.

I have been unable to use Mate Translate for over five weeks. I’ve submitted three support tickets and also contacted support by email, all of which have gone unanswered.

Bugs after an update are understandable, but complete silence despite multiple requests is difficult to accept.

I already own lifetime purchases on both iPhone and Mac, and I still would have been willing to pay for virtually any solution, including an ongoing subscription, if it meant restoring access.

I have shared information, remained open to various solutions, and waited patiently for someone to simply acknowledge the issue. Instead, I’ve gone more than a month without any communication.

This is a one star review not because the product is bad, but because support is absent when it matters.

I want to be able to recommend this application to others, and I would be happy to update this review once my issue is resolved and access is restored. Right now, I can’t.

### 1/5 — 試してみたかったけど…

*2026-01-23*

無料体験を開始する しか存在しなくて起動までいけなかった。7日過ぎたらキャンセルしないと課金が始まるそうだけど、起動前にいきなりお金の事いってくるアプリにいい印象なくて試す事なくアンストした、、。

### 1/5 — Paywall

*2026-01-21, version 7.9.0*

App claims to be free, after installing you must choose a membership…

### 1/5 — Poor quality translations

*2026-01-18, version 7.9.0*

Translations are poor and often incomplete for most webpages

### 2/5 — Nio

### 1/5 — Kinda scummy if you ask me

*2026-08-24, version 10.0.0*

I downloaded this app to translate web pages on safari, when I opened the app to set it up it said my trail had expired, keep in mind I just downloaded the app for the first time and haven’t used it yet. This makes no sense! I couldn’t care if your app was good or the best there is, you can’t charge people to try it, plus I shouldn’t have to let this app have my payment information to try it.

### 1/5 — Scummy business practices

*2026-07-21, version 9.1.3*

Advertises itself as free, with a single line at the bottom of the wall of text that is their description denoting that as soon as you download this free app, you better pay up if you actually want to use it. Wouldn’t have minded paying a bit for convenient, accurate translations, but being about as transparent as a stained glass window guaranteed they’ll never see a penny from me.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work and Steals Your Data

*2026-06-29, version 9.1.1*

Garbage extension. Doesn’t work, just reads your data. Avoid like the plague.

### 1/5 — Ne traduit rien sur les pages en ligne

*2026-05-27*

Nul

### 1/5 — Not respecting lifetime users

*2026-05-13*

Was abandoned for a longtime and now doesn’t allow lifetime users to login to the accounts. 
Totally unusable subscription nag screen to block users from logging in or access.
And Restore purchase doesn’t work!

**Developer response:** We are not blocking old users emails. Please try to sign in again. If you had a lifetime pro account, it should pick it up.

### 1/5 — Failed to work

*2026-05-07, version 8.2.0*

I committed to the 7 day trial, when I was in safari, it told me I wasn’t registered even though I was and it charged me again, even once charged, it still said I wasn’t registered and needed to pay again. Seemed very scammy..

### 1/5 — zsh

*2026-04-15, version 8.0.0*

zsh

### 1/5 — Awful support

*2026-04-04, version 7.9.1*

This used to be good. I paid for the pro version. Now it won’t let me log in and the developer does not bother to respond to emails. Terrible support, I would avoid this application.

### 1/5 — 他アプリで良い

*2026-03-31*

課金を最初に強要するのにも関わらず、あまり翻訳制度も高くなく、iOSバージョンによっては正常に動作しないケースが多い。
アプリのレビューで他アプリを出すのはよろしくないと思っておりますが、他の翻訳無料アプリである没入型翻訳などの無料サービスでGoogle翻訳を使った方が良いと思いました。

### 1/5 — Треш

*2026-03-12*

Еще зайти не успел, уже предлагает  в какое-то предложение войти.Плюс все платное,при том что есть бесплатные переводчики…Грустно вообщем🙃

### 5/5 — Petit bug à corriger svp

*2026-04-20*

Bonjour ! Excellente appli que j’utilise depuis des années maintenant, j’ai juste un petit bug à faire remonter aux développeur, j’utilise l’interface sombre d’iOS et c’est l’une des deux seules applis que je possèdes dont l’icône ne suit pas l’interface système en se maintenant en "clair" ce qui est assez peu harmonieux. Si vous pouviez corriger cela, ce serait top ! Bonne continuation à vous :)

### 5/5 — Treuer Begleiter

*2026-04-13*

Ich nutze die App nun schon seit einigen Jahren auf allen Plattformen und bin immer noch völlig begeistert. Die Übersetzungen sind von Hause aus sehr gut. Hier und da muss mal etwas korrigiert werden aber damit kann ich leben. Großartige Arbeit. Vielen Dank dafür. Weiter so!

### 5/5 — The only way

*2026-03-13*

I have a lot of things I want you guys know about this

### 5/5 — Great again!

*2026-01-19, version 7.9.0*

They finally fixed the issues I’ve long ranted about. It’s back to being a great translation tool. I will now re-subscribe!

### 5/5 — “Mate” revue !

*2025-07-25, version 7.2.0*

Brilliant this is how we future proof wit in communication regardless of hands caps ! The possibilities all born of frustration are endless and of course no chat bot or any other robot ever will have a sense of humour:the primary defining factor of psychosis being lack of it:Fact ! -ALittle known one at that

### 5/5 — Best translator ever

*2025-05-24, version 7.2.0*

First of all - it extremely convenient. You have your saved list on Mac, on phone. 
Second - best pronunciation 
Third - it’s extremely accurate 
And at last - super friendly interface 

Love this app 
Thank you 🇺🇦

### 5/5 — Спасибо всей команде Mate!

*2024-11-23*
