Still have not resolved the issue. After investing in this tech and waiting for its release, it is a serious disappointment. Not happy at all ### 1/5 — Head Coach *2019-08-14, version 2.4.6* I bought two Pilots to use for working with my Chinese athletes. Not once has it held a connection or even connected properly and we are all using iPhone 7 and above. We have tried many different ways since the normal instructions fail to connect two people in a conversation. Very frustrated that it cannot work. Had very high hopes! ### 5/5 — voice speaker on phone *2019-05-30, version 2.4.4* I wish it was the same as it once was. It recognized your message correctly as you asked the question. Not anymore! It has a glitch. Now you have type everything in when using your phone. What a waste of time!! I downloaded it for the reason to make it easier on me. I do a lot of interpreting & sometimes I just need a word clarified, now I have to type it in. ### 1/5 — Please fix it Please! *2019-05-08, version 2.4.3* Updated to the latest 2.4.3. With continued effort, I managed to get the right ear piece to update. The left ear piece will not update. I also have another set. Neither of those two (Right or left) will update. I even tried repairing them to the phone many time. Then I deleted the app several times and repaired them and that didn’t work. I even paired them to my iPad and tried updating them there. Nope, Nada! I know the first pair right ear piece took the update because when talking on a phone call I sounded great with no background noise. I tried the left ear and it sounded like I was in the middle of busy traffic. Same with the second pair. I have two days and I will be traveling to the Dominican Rep. and I am very upset. As for the translator part of this it works very well. Lucky for me I can also understand someone Spanish, but I can speak it very well. I would give 4 stars for the translator but trying to find any information on web site is bad. You can’t even find u-tube videos on anything. Very disappointed! ### 2/5 — Need more language *2019-04-28, version 2.4.3* Need mexico spanish ### 1/5 — Joke? *2019-04-27, version 2.4.3* I cannot even get the earpieces to be discovered on my iPhone XS Bluetooth. ### 1/5 — Logged me out *2019-04-25, version 2.4.3* Logged me out once I changed SIM cards on my trip and I can’t use this without logging in. What a stupid design, isn’t the point for travel? ### 1/5 — Waste of time and money *2019-02-27, version 2.3.8* Worst investment I ever purchased. Tried to use if the first day I recieved it, couldn’t get it to work. It is sitting in my closet now for over 1.5 years. I waited 2 years for the product. They got me and every body else. Anybody that puts a 4 star or above is either lying or works for the company. The product is trash. ### 1/5 — Very Disappointed *2019-02-19, version 2.3.8* I have been following Waverly labs before they shipped. I received my Pilot earbuds for a work conference in Colombia ... There pilot app is a pain... disconnects having to reregister every time I open the app. Nothing translates smoothly. Holding the phone in front of the person talking, the app picks up nothing for several minutes.... then a few words here and there ... Waverly Labs Pilot is not ready... perhaps version2.1 or 3 or 4 ### 2/5 — Japanese *2019-01-17, version 2.3.6* The Japanese is horrible in translating. I was listening to my wife who is from japan and it said she was eating a cat and sleeping at a hard time and not eating while in bed, none of which was anything like she said. ## Frequently asked questions about Pilot Speech Translator ### What does the Pilot Speech Translator app do?
