### 4/5 — Good translation

*2026-06-22, version 1.19.0*

This is the best one I’ve used. Incorporates quick translations and insertions with few key strokes and very little glitching. Would be even better if the functions were embedded in the keyboard itself, but it does the job quickly and cleanly.

### 4/5 — The best

*2026-06-08, version 1.19.0*

I can finally text my mom that speaks Spanish

### 4/5 — Hahaha

*2026-05-08, version 1.19.0*

It’s fun

### 2/5 — Like everything, it’s paid

*2026-05-08, version 1.19.0*

Works well, but only gives you 10 uses for the entire time you have it unless you upgrade to pro

### 3/5 — snap

*2026-02-23, version 1.19.0*

doesn't work on snapchat

### 4/5 — Formality & ads

*2026-01-22, version 1.19.0*

The app itself is great! Only 2 issues: Ads every 10 uses. Why not make it 20 so it’s easier when I’m trying to COMMUNICATE ON A GAME 😩 Also formality issues. I type something and it always comes off as overly formal to my online friend, when it shouldn’t be. Not trying to be rude, but if you’re a translating app, you should have options for formality AND without having to pay. Thats all

### 2/5 — Not easy to use at all.

*2025-12-27, version 1.19.0*

It’s not easy to use. It’s clunky and stiff and annoying. And then it adds a “translated with trans key” which I have to delete every single time. There are better free translators out there. This only allows 10 translations a day. Not ideal for a busy game chat.

### 4/5 — 이미 결재해서 사용중인데

*2025-11-15*

자꾸 결제하라고 뜹니다.
아직 구독기간이 한참 남았어요.
핸드폰 새로바꾸고 어플 다시깔았더니
재결제하라고 나와요

### 3/5 — Pls no that

*2025-11-08, version 1.19.0*

Can there be no like trainl? It spends people money and get them broke kinda

### 2/5 — No customer support

*2025-08-28, version 1.19.0*

Crashes every few weeks and I have to uninstall and reinstall. Customer support dismissed my concern 🙄

amazing!

### 2/5 — No customer support

*2025-06-28, version 1.19.0*

Constantly crashing. I tried emailing customer support and they never responded. It’s starting to get annoying to the point I’m going to stop paying. Expensive app for so much crashing

### 3/5 — I

*2025-06-19, version 1.19.0*

Lalalalalalaaalallalalalalallalaalalallalalalalalalalalalallaalalalalallaalalalalalalallalalalalallalalalalalallallllalalalalallalalalalalalalalaalalaallalalalallaalallalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalallalalalallaalaalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalallalalalallalalalalalallalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalla good

### 3/5 — Hate "Too Long"

*2025-06-11, version 1.19.0*

Normally, a really good app, but if you write too much, it tells you it can’t translate because it’s too long, so I literally have to take the translation over to Google, which can translate it, and then return to wherever I was at. This needs to be adjusted. If Google can literally translate a book, this app can do the same exact thing. Especially when we are paying for it.

### 1/5 — Not enough.

*2026-03-15, version 1.19.0*

You only have 10 tries to try it. I want to be In contact with my girlfriend but I can’t untill I find a translator.

### 1/5 — What’s wrong with you

*2025-12-27, version 1.19.0*

WHY ARE ALL THESE APPS $10 A WEEK

### 1/5 — NOT FREE

*2025-12-05, version 1.19.0*

¿Por qué estas aplicaciones no son gratuitas? ¿Por qué quieren que la gente pague todo? ¿Incluso un teclado?

Translated by TransKey.

### 1/5 — Дебильно:

*2025-11-27*

Ужас дурацкая игра

### 1/5 — Glitchy App

*2025-05-28, version 1.19.0*

It’s presented a Myriad of issues over the 3 months and has become unusable. It spits out double triple sentences fed and deleted sentences. If you’re ok with one sentence at a  time you’re good, but for me it’s now worse that useless.

### 1/5 — Very bad, I am not pleased

*2025-05-10, version 1.19.0*

It only translates a few phrases per day, the translations are innacurate, and it leaves an unwanted text at the end which I have to cut out. Waste of time and money

### 1/5 — Would be great if it didn’t disappear at random from my phone

*2025-04-21, version 1.19.0*

Why did I pay $50 for this year subscription if the app disappears from my phone every few weeks? Currently, I can’t even force it back to my phone when I have all the storage in the world. I went to settings and know how to enable the keyboard . It’s not working and is too expensive for these bugs

### 1/5 — 𝓘𝓽 𝓭𝓲𝓭𝓷'𝓽 𝔀𝓸𝓻𝓴

*2025-03-07, version 1.19.0*

𝓣𝓮𝓻𝓻𝓲𝓫𝓵𝓮

### 1/5 — Glitchy App

*2024-12-21, version 1.19.0*

It’s presented a Myriad of issues over the 3 months and has become unusable. It spits out double triple sentences fed and deleted sentences. If you’re ok with one sentence at a  time you’re good, but for me it’s now worse that useless.
