Que ça sois du jap du kr ou du cn ça fait le taffe contrairement au trad Google chrome safari et autre ### 5/5 — OpenNovel *2026-07-31* The app is great for reading novels. The translation is easy to understand and fun to read and you can tell that the developer put lots of effort into programming the AI. ### 5/5 — Amazing app for reading translated fanfic! *2026-07-30, version 1.1.28* I was skeptical trying another translation app for Chinese fanfic, but this one is genuinely amazing. The translations actually make sense and read so naturally. No weird or confusing sentences at all. The app is super easy to use, too. If you're on the fence, definitely download it! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-28* The translations are amazing and not just emotionless or word for word it’s truly the best translation app I’ve ever used! Definitely recommend ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-07-23* Just wow… ### 5/5 — My go to app for novels translation *2026-07-22, version 1.1.28* I love Korean novels and unfortunately I don’t speak Korean so this app is literally amazing for me. So easy to translate any novel or text you English. And the translation is high quality with the most important. I love this app so much ### 5/5 — Surprisingly good *2026-07-22, version 1.1.28* Like other I was honestly really doubting it before as my previous experience using the website was bad, but after getting the app and actually seeing the clear instructions, it was quite easy to use. The translation is not only fast but it has really good translations!! 10/20 reccomend ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2026-07-20, version 1.1.28* I’ve been trying to read on Ridibooks using Google lens and it was such a hassle this app is way more helpful and easier to use and works just like iBooks once you upload all the chapters! ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2026-07-17, version 1.1.28* I love this app it’s letting me continue a series that was dropped, wish there were more free translations tho ### 5/5 — Translation *2026-07-16, version 1.1.28* Lovely translator, I have been using this to translate some Chinese web novels, and the auto translate feature works with many different websites. Most don’t have it like that. ### 5/5 — best translator *2026-07-15, version 1.1.28* wayy better than google translate ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-07-14, version 1.1.28* This is an amazing app to use in order to read danmei and other novels highly recommend ### 5/5 — 4.5/5 *2026-07-12, version 1.1.28* i like this translator a lot! it’s really easy to use and the translations make sense and sound natural, though sometimes the chapters are cut short (but this has only happened to me once). ### 5/5 — really good *2026-07-09, version 1.1.28* the translations are great and i can actually understand what's going on. i also like how you can sort things too. very convenient ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — التطبيق *2026-06-01, version 1.1.28* مناسب جدا ### 3/5 — Useful application *2026-06-05* I just stared using this app so I’ll be as honest as I can. I don’t know how good the translation is but once I actually get the points to try it I will give a proper review of my experience with this application. I hope everyone here is enjoying it to it’s fullest. ### 3/5 — Translate mishap *2026-05-26, version 1.1.28* It’s pretty good, though sometimes it accidentally gets rid of the pictures that was included into the chapter without meaning too when it was supposed to be there. ### 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 ### 4/5 — So good *2026-07-25, version 1.1.28* A lot of the foreign novels I’m reading have little to no english translations so this app is very helpful. ### 4/5 — Fantastic App *2026-07-10, version 1.1.28* I really love the fast and accurate translations. The experience is great even when you are on the free plan. ### 4/5 — Love it *2026-07-10, version 1.1.28* Great translations! ### 4/5 — Good *2026-06-20, version 1.1.28* Good ### 4/5 — Pretty Solid *2026-06-16, version 1.1.28* I’ve just started using this novel translator and it’s clearly different from the rest. Most due the bare minimum, this one clearly reorganizes the translation to make it more readable and give me way less of a headache. My only complaint would be that I can’t just buy a book’s translation I have to get a subscription… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — best tl app *2026-08-07, version 1.1.28* super easy to use and is genuinely one of the best mtl app ive ever used!! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-07, version 1.1.28* Its a great app, has a very good translation and it’s so easy to translate 10/10 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
