### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2026-08-24, version 1.1.28*

This app is simple to use. The only hard part is finding the right raw copies to translate.

### 4/5 — Great but a bit expensive

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.28*

Up to 7 free auto-translations a day or the first time you use it

### 5/5 — Can Recommend!

*2026-08-23, version 1.1.28*

Makes it much easier to read the things I want to read. Especially the more obscure stuff. Plan to make use of it more often.

### 5/5 — This app is a diamond

*2026-08-21, version 1.1.28*

Most novels I want to read are in Korean, and it would take me quite a long time to learn Korean so I had agonized over it for a long time. Google translate cannot suffice because the translations aren’t that good. That’s when I found this app on tiktok, and I was able to enjoy my favourite novel. Thank you so much for making this app

### 5/5 — review

*2026-08-13, version 1.1.28*

really good for translating

### 5/5 — Best novel translator ever, and its free!

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.28*

I thought i would have to get a membership for half decent translation, yet this app lets me read raw chinese novels as if they were personally translated by a human being, without paying a single cent! Maybe this is a free trial or something but i dont care, this is the best translation app Ive ever used!

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-08-11*

This helped me read novels that aren’t yet translated! It’s super easy to use and would highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Good translation

*2026-08-09, version 1.1.28*

The best machine translations I have read. There are no grammar errors.

### 5/5 — Really solid website

*2026-08-08*

After having almost all the translating website being taken down, having a website that provides you the raws, but also helps you translate them is really good. After reading on so many websites, I can say that the translation on novel is quite distant and at times better and it also translates really fast which is really great

### 5/5 — this is peak

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.28*

so peak
