### 1/5 — It’s bad

*2022-02-11, version 2.1*

You can only search one picture and then presto you have to add a membership. DO’NT BUY

### 1/5 — Scam!!!!!! THE OTHER REVIEWS ARE FAKE

*2021-12-16, version 2.1*

You can only try it 3 times before it forces you to pay expenses. Why say it’s free when it’s not? I would rate this -100 stars but it doesn’t let me. Don’t waste your time. These other reviews are fake. Plus, when I was using my 3 “fReE tRiAlS”, it said my lamp was a car… HOOW

### 1/5 — Pay To Translate
