### 2/5 — Overall a good app…however

*2025-01-18*

There’s a problem with the text translator. Every time I try to translate the text to another language I get a pop up window that states that there’s a problem with my internet ( there most definitely is not as my TV is on at the same time) and that they’re unable to reach the translator. To the developer; while the app is okay there’s a problem as well with the ‘scanning for a surface’, it takes a long time and sometimes it doesn’t find a surface no matter which way I turn my device. Please fix these bugs otherwise my two star review stays.
