I use for 6 different language when traveling

I use for 6 different language when traveling. Great for travling and learning a language. Can record audio or one or more of your translations and add your own voice to it.

No Tagalog?

Whereโ€™s the Filipino language?

This APP used to very be good.
After this update just crashes, nothing happens.

Used to work well...

Had this app for awhile. Seems to have stopped working when I want to translate a simple word or phrase. Translate Button doesn't respond anymore.

Easy to use

I use this to translate words from English to French most of the time and it works well. It's a great app, it doesn't drain battery and offers a lot of languages.
Update November 19th 2017: Still a great app, i use it often as I am taking a language class. The only complaint i have is that it doesn't support the iPhone X's display.

Repetitive language in the list much???

I have tried the app for the very first time and I can tell you right now I'm greater than greatly disappointed, here's why. 1st, I found quite a few languages listed twice each. Aghem (Cameroon), Asu (Tanzania), and Azerbaijani for example. 2nd, I tried entering different texts after selecting Amharic, then Oriya...in both cases, no translations whatsoever! And 3rd, I kept getting that "Translation Text" message! For reasons given, 3 stars only 'cause I believe these outlined problems can be corrected.

Difficult to Use and Incomplete

I found the interface very unintuitive. It took me a while to find out how to select a language and what to do to translate from English to that language. I am still not sure if one can translate a foreign language to English, which can be very useful.

Also, the language I selected wasn't the correct one. I tried my native language, which is Cantonese just to test it out. It just gave me Mandarine instead. The language option is there but it defaults back to Mandarine and simplified Chinese.

Overall, the app is a good idea but still needs a lot of work.

This apps is really very usefull and good to work

Great app for texting and travel

This is a nicely designed app. It has a simple interface, but that is perfect as it lets you do exactly what you want without cluttering the screen with option. With that there there are TONs of options for doing translations, audio and textual. They are accessed with a simple tap.

I had generally always used Google Translate when trying to have a text conversation with someone who does not speak English. That was often slow and cumbersome. Now, with this app, I can be quicker, seemly more accurate and even hear what my translation would sound like to me more immersed in the conversation.

It is great that the app included the use of the microphone, so I can speak instead of having to type. I use this all the time now in regular text messages and nice to have this familiar functionality. Another simple yet great touch is to allow you to change (increase in my case) the font size of your text translations. While this may seem like a small thing, for us with aging eyes, it's nice to use without having to put on glasses. You would be surprised of apps out there do not do this simple task.

There is a great number of languages that are supported, even with different dialects. Besides my normal use, I will be using this while traveling to Europe for sure. Great job to the developers.

Crashes w new update!

Crashes on 6s+ ios 9.02 this last update. Great app.. Plz fix soon.

Unknown fee

I downloaded this app as it was free. It sat on my cell for a couple of weeks and then after opening to see what it was about and test its use, I was billed $2.98 for something. Not even worth my time to try and figure out and that is what a lot of app developers hope for I guess.

Inaccurate description, not all languages listed are available in the App.

I purchased this for the language of Haitian Creole, which is listed in the description as a supported language. However, Haitian Creole is not available in the app. I was robbed.

About as useful as Google Translate

When I saw that this app supported Albanian and back-and-forth conversation between languages I was pretty excited but immediately let down. Just about as much good as Google translate which is free... And sticks to the dialect that I pick.

Handy app

I found this app very easy to use and extremely handy while traveling.

The latest version crash in my ios 7.1.2

The latest version crash in my ios 7.1.2...

Has promise but crashes

I would like to give this app a better review, but I haven't been able to use it. Crashes all the time.

Better

But now it's limited to US, UK, and Australian for English accents. Just those three. Do I need to install special kits to hear, say, Irish or Jamaican English accents?

One other big bug. When getting the voice to read something longer than about a dozen words it abruptly pauses for about 30-45 seconds and then continues. If there is ANOTHER dozen words after that, it pauses again.

I'm not sure how many issues are device dependent or localization dependent. I have the latest iOS so... I don't know what the deal is.

Accents

Why are accents no longer supported?

Perfect App!

I love this app! It translates your text phrases into many different languages & back to English! As a nurse, I often have non-English speaking patients (& not just Spanish, but others too) & communicating is often difficult because my Spanish is poor! This app allows me to interview the patient because the app can say the phrase & types it in the alternate language. I can have the patient use my phone to type back their questions & answers for translation back to English!
