And no one even responded to my email help letter ### 2/5 — For Sadomasochists Only *2025-10-31, version 4.2.6* Ever wanted to break through the one barrier that prevented you from viewing emotionally damaging content? Look no further! ### 1/5 — I’m so disappointed of this app *2025-10-28, version 4.2.6* This app can’t translate japanese into english properly, at most it can translate a few isolated words, out of context. This such a waste of money ### 4/5 — I LOVE THISS *2025-10-10, version 4.2.3* this app is so helpful thank you for making this ^^ ### 1/5 — Performance *2025-10-10, version 4.2.3* Poor ### 1/5 — แอปกากๆ *2025-10-07, version 4.2.3* แอปกากๆ ### 1/5 — Outdated, just use Google’s Image Translator *2025-09-05, version 4.2.3* This app stinks, it barely translated words properly, I’ve been trying to translate Japanese words off a manga and it barely comes out right. The Google Translate website has its own image translator and its way more useful and it translates properly meanwhile this app doesn’t, you can only do 3 a day and it makes you pay for a PREMIUM. ### 3/5 — CONTAINS 0% JUICE *2025-09-04, version 4.2.3* Nutrition Facts - Amount/Serving %Dairy Value Total Fat 0g 0% Sodium 🧂 55mg 2% Total Carbon-Hydrate 70g 26% ### 4/5 — good app but one problem *2025-08-14, version 4.2.3* i dont like that it can only translate 3 photos only☹️ make it 10 or 5 pls!!!! ### 2/5 — “free”??? *2025-08-11, version 4.2.1* This is NOT free. basically the whole app you have to pay for, not worth it. getting a different app asap ### 1/5 — SCAM ALERT! *2025-08-05, version 4.2.1* You animals charged me?! I canceled and you still charged me?! Reporting to Apple and hopefully this trash scammy app gets removed! ### 1/5 — Free Trial Scam *2025-08-02, version 4.2.1* They charged my account after one day on free trial. I cancelled on the day I was charged. They would not give refund, ### 1/5 — No longer good *2025-08-01, version 4.2.1* Used to be useful but now you only get three free scans a day so not worth it ### 1/5 — This app is useless *2025-07-19, version 4.1.9* I couldn’t even read my book without all of the words being wrong, they even got the name of the book and the characters wrong please fix it ### 1/5 — K dich dk *2025-07-10, version 4.1.9* K dich duoc ngoai tuyen ### 2/5 — This looks formal and cool but *2025-07-02, version 4.1.9* This is a cool app it has all the features I need but it has problems trying to find the text and everytime I try it fails so it’s not really an occasional thing to use this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor connection / buffering *2026-07-21, version 4.2.7* Translation kind of OK. Main problem is connection and actual practicality in use. Long wait and often no result. ### 1/5 — Barely works *2026-07-18, version 4.2.7* It’s loading forever ### 1/5 — horrible *2026-06-29, version 4.2.7* You can only take three photos for per day. And if you don’t get premium. That sucks! ### 1/5 — It should say you need to pay to use it *2026-06-10, version 4.2.7* After you go through all the trouble to download the app etc, in order to use it you need to pay. Why dont you say it before download?!, so we go the next app that does the same for free? ### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose *2026-05-21, version 4.2.7* Made the mistake of not using the free trial before purchase. The app is not fit for purpose as it is too slow. When translating in real situations from Chinese to English you can’t use air for age while it buffers. I will be seeking a refund. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-05-16, version 4.2.7* Very useful most of the time but, only allows you to take 3 photos a day without a subscription use Google Translate instead this is probably the WORST APP I’ve downloaded change the darn limit😑 ### 1/5 — Useless app *2026-02-27, version 4.2.7* Photos are so blurry. The lens won't focus so you have to hold the text you want to translate really far away. And you get about 3 tries before it forces you to pay ### 1/5 — Omg *2025-12-21, version 4.2.6* Phải nạp tiền ### 1/5 — Ugh *2025-12-02, version 4.2.6* Every time they update this application, it gets worse. It’s a shame it’s not like it used to be. ### 1/5 — Thought I was subscribing to a free trial. *2025-11-04, version 4.2.6* Saw free trial and tried to find out the exact terms but i stead was immediately charged 8.95 CAD. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Help us to cancel - cannot work it - thank you !!! *2026-02-27, version 4.2.7* Please cancel immediately - cannot make it work!😅 ### 5/5 — Giggle *2025-07-14, version 4.1.9* Cf ### 5/5 — Absolutely brilliant! *2025-06-29, version 4.1.9* I’m very impressed with this app! It’s brilliant! It works really well. Translations are quick and reliable. Some grammar adjustment is occasionally needed (when translating technical articles which is understandable) but in general, it is faultless! The ability to copy and paste into a document is where it wins over Google. Very reasonable price for what it offers. It even works if you hold the camera well away from a large page to get all the text in! I love it! ### 5/5 — Rất tốt *2025-06-11, version 4.1.9* Rất rễ dùng ### 5/5 — Money *2025-05-17, version 4.1.6* There was a money one but a free one to ### 5/5 — Mr *2025-05-11, version 4.1.6* It’s perfect I love . but it expensive ### 5/5 — German *2025-04-13, version 4.1.5* Best ap ever for reading German electrical schematics! ### 5/5 — my french *2025-04-03, version 4.1.5* i got the app right before my french assignment and i translated it and it worked perfectly i understand stood everything ### 5/5 — Don’t understand the constant pop up for Premium! *2025-03-21, version 4.1.2* Love that it works honestly that all I have to share. ### 5/5 — Ok ! Good! *2025-02-28, version 4.0.7* Tốt --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
