## What is Navi?

Navi adds subtitles and live translation to your conversations! Talk with the people around you, and see exactly what they're saying overlaid on top of the real world.

Connect directly to other devices running Navi around you and your captions will appear on their devices instantly. 

Live translation
Navi can translate incoming subtitles from a different language into your own and even speak out the translation in your own language, so you can have an easier conversation with people who speak a different language. Both devices will need an active subscription to use the translation feature.

It is free to use without translation, and you can enable unlimited translation with a monthly subscription. The app is especially useful for people who are Hard-of-Hearing or deaf, and it can hopefully make conversations easier for you in your life.

### 1/5 — Not Working!!

*2025-04-08*

I have tried to use the app and it will not connect to my phone.  I have tried everything like uninstalling and reinstalling the app.  I have also tried to reset my phone.  Kind of sad because I paid $8.99 to subscribe as well

### 1/5 — Not working

*2025-04-07*

It has been spinning for hours downloaded redownloaded saying it’s trying to connect to a network

### 1/5 — App doesn’t connect to my phone or iPad

*2025-04-04*

I’ve gone through everything. I’ve deleted the app and have reinstalled it multiple times. On my iPad it pops up act like it’s gonna work and then cancels back out and disappears. I have also restarted my phone checked all settings in the app and it still says checking for “ connect device searching. I’ve even gone online to try to find videos of showing a complete walk-through of how to connect to Navi app but There is no such video out there. I would highly recommend making a video from downloading the app, connecting your phone and making the FaceTime call.

### 1/5 — No app support/doesn’t work

*2025-01-22*

Reached out to app developer with no response. Paid for subscription and does not translate in both iOS on the phone and MacBook.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-09-02*

App will not finish looking for local devices

### 1/5 — Link to "app support" in App Store is broken

*2024-07-31*

I dont know how to see your website. Can't get to it from App Store. Link in App Store is broken.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-06-22*

The set up is not intuitive and there are no instructions. I could only connect to the devices in immediate vicinity, using it with someone not around me was impossible. SharePlay doesn’t work. This was one of the most frustrating app experiences I ever had. Do yourself a favor and use google translate.

### 1/5 — Wonderful but useless

*2024-03-10, version 2.1*

Cool, But only one language

### 1/5 — 9$ a month

*2024-03-08*

So I paid nine dollars a month for this app and after the fact it then tells me that you need other people to also have the app for it to work then when I go into the settings, it only has English, so I don’t understand how this is a translation app, when it only has one language

### 4/5 — There’s a lot of potential

*2024-03-08*

It’s a little buggy right now, but there’s a lot of potential. It’s a pity that you require one iOS device for each person that you’re translating however, this is a game changer for people with hearing disability.
