### 5/5 — Best App - Don’t Discontinue!

*2024-07-31*

This app is one of the best app and I want to say to keep on continue. Recently, hearing about there discontinue of this app in August 5, 2024 just make me loss hope of this amazing free translation app being lead to wast. This app is amazing in many ways because it updates a lot and it has some language translation voice over like Google doesn’t have. So here I am, to ask you, please don’t discontinue. (I wise I have some money to buy this app..) Thank you for reading.

### 5/5 — best translation app

*2024-07-24*

I have used this app in a number of different settings. In an outpatient pop-up clinic, I used it to speak with people in a couple of different languages to be able to ask who they were looking for and go get an interpreter. When I traveled in China, I used it to help communicate with people. a few times when I’ve been overseas, I’ve used this. It also has multiple different kinds of Spanish, which I really appreciate.

### 5/5 — This app is my new Spanish Teacher

*2024-04-26*

I got this app initially to look up translations but quickly realized that it could also help me refine how I am speaking the language, improve my knowledge of various verb tenses, and up my vocabulary quickly. It bypasses the problem with all other language learning apps in that you can get instant, and reliable feedback on the phrases you are trying to say. Game changer! Mad props to the developers! Can’t wait to see how this app will evolve. 💛

### 5/5 — Ham Radio Translator

*2023-12-28*

Great app to translate Spanish and Russian conversations on ham radio! Works way better than Google translate and seems to be able to pick up more of the conversation through the static. The translations seem more authentic, whereas Google will completely change the translation in mid conversation if they don’t like what’s being said! I’ve seen it happen in real time! Particularly if it has to do with illegal immigrants planning their travel over the border or political discussions.

### 1/5 — Writes the Exact Opposite.

*2023-11-19*

ALWAYS CHECK THE TRANSLATION. 
At least, if you’re trying to speak to someone in Ukraine. Often it changes the meaning to the exact opposite… Scary. If I sent the last few paragraphs I wrote as they were translated, my Ukrainian friend would think that I was on the wrong side. And wondering if I wished him death. And I’m not blowing that out of proportion. It’s bad. (Makes me question the developer) It used to be close to great! Used to be really good. But after a couple updates, all I can say is, if you’re talking to someone in Ukraine, cross-check everything you write. Or you may be deeply insulting someone. Also, it will act really glitchy while you use it. As far as anchoring the conversation and what not. It does weird things. This app does weird things. I highly questioned the integrity of this app.

### 4/5 — Need wifi?

*2023-11-03*

When i am at work we have poor WIFI. this app doesn’t work in that scenario unless I turn off my WIFI in settings. The real problem is that in this scenario the app goes to a page saying I need to update. When i click on the update button there is no upgrade available. I wanted  to let people using the app know this as well as the tech people. It took me awhile to figure out what was happening. Otherwise i love this app and use it often. I use it to translate in multiple languages when I volunteer and to translate, mostly toSpanish, when at work. I hope this is helpful!💞

### 5/5 — The best

*2023-10-25*

It was the best like it was really fun. You can like to everyone about it and like say stuff in different languages are no one will know and trust people is really fun and I’m nine years old. I wanna know it’s language, but nice and learning some because it says the language, so it’s really cool overall and I just push it through my apps like this. I left a five star rating I mean what else can I hear? It’s best that I probably have on this phone I mean I have a phone but it’s just really cool. I’d recommend this for people who like the stuff all right my name is James Lashbrook earth and I really like this app so whoever created this is the best.

### 4/5 — Best translator app that is inclusive!

*2023-08-16*

I adore this app & all its functionality it brings. I use it quite often at work and at home. It has my home language—Cantonese (Chinese)—which many other translator apps only have Mandarin (Chinese). I love that you can have an active conversation that will translate everything in just a few seconds. The only thing I wish this app is to the romanization characters/letters of how to pronounce a word that was translated. I think it will be helpful towards students using it to communicate or learn a different language.

### 5/5 — Need current language’s lock feature

*2023-05-17*

Of all the apps I’ve tried this is the most accurate and simplest to use, and most reliable. However it’s really easy to accidentally hit the (change) language’s link when going for the translation button, and most who don’t understand the app can’t figure out how to get off the language list and back to the main page. If you add a language lock feature this can’t happen.

### 5/5 — Awesome translation app

*2023-05-14*

This app is amazing. I use it all the time when I forget a Chinese word or how to pronounce it. This app has verbal and keyboard functions, and it’s awesome that they actually have my language, Cantonese. Every other translating app/website, they strictly have Mandarin. I’d recommend for all that are using it to travel & need to speak to someone with quick translation. Only thing I will suggest is to add the Romanization of the words that you are translating. It allows people to pronounce words easier
