Kinda worthless, won’t trust this developer again. ### 1/5 — This is a waste of money *2021-12-19* It hardly translates anything. One can find better for free. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2014-01-22* Doesn't replace words it only puts in apostrophises. 1 star is generous ### 1/5 — Don't waste your money on this pos *2012-12-20* Can't even translate the word treasure to booty... As a matter of fact, it doesn't translate a majority of words into common pirate slang...AVOID! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2011-01-26, version 2.0* Don't spend your money, this app is useless. ### 1/5 — Argh! *2009-09-16* I thought this actually talked, like the other 99 cent app. "talk like a pirate". This app is crappier than a gull on deck with the runs. Should have just stuck with the one I got. ### 1/5 — A waste *2009-01-28* Translates a few words like boy to lad. Does not do text to voice. ### 3/5 — Nice but not enough translating *2013-09-20* It's ok but it doesn't translate enough adjectives and nouns. ### 3/5 — great for young boys *2009-02-25* Although I do not find myself speakin pirate often, I always pull this one out when I babysit. The boys I watch love to have me translate words and phrases for them to tell their parents. ### 4/5 — Great! 💀 *2011-11-02* Don't be knowin' why this 'as low ratings, tis a great wee app. Jus' type in text an' converts t' pirate talkin'. Ye can sen' via text etc. Recommen' et. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Arrrgh! This Pirate accent trainin' app 'as sav me an' me me buckos *2020-10-25* Arrrgh!
