### 4/5 — Great app, just needs more languages

*2026-07-16*

Really useful app! The translations are quick, and I like that I can translate without leaving the app I’m using. The design is also clean and easy to understand.

The only thing missing for me is more keyboard languages. Right now, it only supports English and Chinese input. Hope more languages get added soon!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! LingoKey now supports direct keyboard input in English, Chinese, Spanish, German, French, Canadian French, and Portuguese. Please update to the latest version and give it another try.
