### 5/5 — Awesome so far

*2025-12-26, version 8.4.21*

Thank you for accurate translations. You are doing great work.

### 2/5 — Seriously degraded

*2025-08-11, version 8.4.21*

I used this app for about 5 years and liked it. I paid an annual fee to avoid ads and game promotions. Now I get ads no matter what, and game promotions (“Save the King!”) take over the app and make it unusable. It’s like hackers took over the app and ruined it. I will cancel my subscription. Too bad.

### 5/5 — More than a Translator

*2025-05-20, version 8.4.21*

This is a very useful app for learning Portuguese. It can do voice translation in addition to text and image translations, like words in signs or menus. Might be nice to add image recognition with translations at some point. 
The translators work offline which is really handy when you’re on a plane or off the grid. 
But this app is so much more than a standard translator like Google or Bing. It has an excellent dictionary which is great for finding usage examples and noun gender which is important in Portuguese.
The app has a conjugator with thousands common verbs and you can switch back and forth from the dictionary to the translator. 
The app also has some fun features to help you practice vocabulary like flashcards and multiple choice quizzes.
Overall, it’s been a god send for my travels to Brazil and keeping in touch with friends 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Excelente!

Very nice and easy app has English verb forms as well very helpful.

*2024-02-07, version 8.3.14*
