Pero si traduce de forma objetivo. Saludos ### 1/5 — Обман *2025-05-13* Оплатил три раза просто оставляет документ в исходном состоянии. Мошенники **Developer response:** Здравствуйте.

After buying pages to translate..it can’t be translated after a few documents translated..it keeps on showing server error..and the balance pages that you bought still deducted without refunding you those pages..for example you use 29 pages to translate the documents and then it appears server error..meaning it’s not translating..but the 29 pages that you bought just gone.. ### 1/5 — Rezil *2025-05-02, version 6.0.2* Çalışmıyor ne zaman pdf eklesem uygulama kapanıyor ### 1/5 — Malísimo *2025-04-04, version 6.0.2* Pagué 59.90 por un artículo que no tradujeron y encima me quieren cobran lo mismo por intentar que traduzcan el artículo otra vez ### 1/5 — What's happened?? *2025-03-14, version 6.0.1* This app was amazing for the last 4/5 years.
