I would not have paid $50. I am out $50. ### 3/5 — 免费 *2026-08-29* 只用免费 ### 1/5 — App is awful *2026-08-29, version 2.5.0* Do not bother getting this, does not work. Downloaded the free trial and still couldn’t even get the service I wanted without paying a fee. Chose to pay the fee to translate subtitles on a video and that didn’t even work. When I tried again it asked me to pay again. Awful app. Does not work. Use it if you want them to steal your money. Scam ### 1/5 — Başarısız *2026-08-28, version 2.5.0* Video ceviri yapmiyor ### 1/5 — Kostenlos ist hier nichts *2026-08-26, version 2.5.0* Es wird eine ganz kurze Testphase angeboten, danach geht nichts ohne definitiv zu bezahlen. Sollte man dann aber nicht als kostelnose App bewerben. ### 1/5 — No instructions on how to unsubscribe. *2026-08-24, version 2.4.3* There are no instructions on how to unsubscribe. Feels very scammy. In real time the translations are unreliable and I was often left unaided while in Japan. ### 1/5 — Don’t get this app. Impossible to cancel subscription *2026-08-24, version 2.4.3* The app does not give you an option to cancel your subscription. You have to email the help centre. They say they’ll reply to you in 24-48 hours, but they don’t. This app is day light robbery ### 3/5 — ゴジラ *2026-08-24, version 2.4.3* インぐる ### 1/5 — 出だしから課金表示 *2026-08-23, version 2.4.3* 初めてだったので、使ってみようと思ったら、もう出だしから課金表示が出て無料押したはずなのに、金額の表示しか出てなくて、課金する程使おうとは思ってなかったので、何もせず消しました。 無料と書いて有りながらも、課金表示もし、例外に課金しなきゃいけないのであれば分かりますが、次へを押していくと最後あたりに応援するというボタンを押すと課金表示に切り替えるのだけは、やめて欲しいです。 課金してもいいと思うなら、応援してあげて下さい。自分は、使おうと思ってダウンロードしたのに、すぐに辞めました、別のアプリでも良いかなと思いましたよ。無料ではなかったのですね、課金でも良い方は止めませんが、課金ダメな方は、お気をつけて。 ### 1/5 — 最悪のアプリ *2026-08-22, version 2.4.3* 写真からの翻訳はマジでクソ。全然読み込みが脆弱…。また、すぐに有料にさせられるけど、解約ができないという詐欺アプリ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor functioning *2026-09-06, version 2.5.1* I am in china and I have repeatedly tried to download simplified mandarin for offline translation without success. Voice portion will not start. Lastly the price was not clear before download. Canceled automatic payment immediately ### 1/5 — Rubbish Product *2026-09-05, version 2.5.0* Don't buy ### 1/5 — Free where? *2026-09-04, version 2.5.0* Parlate di “Free Translator” e poi magicamente chiedere di abbonarsi. Tanto o poco che sia l’abbonamento la mancanza di onestà di dire subito che si tratta di un servizio in abbonamento vi fa meritare una stella, solo perché non posso darvene meno. App rimossa immediatamente. ### 1/5 — No way to cancel *2026-09-04, version 2.5.0* So much for a free trial. If it costs this much time and I have to submit a ticket just to cancel then by my standard it’s not free. ### 1/5 — They don’t make it easy to cancel your prescription *2026-09-04, version 2.5.0* Don’t do it ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-09-03, version 2.5.0* Cannot change languages easily. My ap is stuck in Italian! ### 1/5 — Bad. *2026-08-31, version 2.5.0* Terrible app stopped working and no one responding to my emails to get my money back. ### 1/5 — Sneaky Unsub *2026-08-31, version 2.5.0* Nice app but auto subscribe and the complexity to unsubscribe makes its really annoying. ### 1/5 — Terrible terrible terrible *2026-08-30, version 2.5.0* Waste of money ### 1/5 — Cheated *2026-08-30, version 2.5.0* Detected the wrong audio and charged me twice ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Easy *2026-09-04, version 2.5.0* This is great. ### 5/5 — Hoping this is good *2026-09-02, version 2.5.0* Chur maori ### 5/5 — A blando *2026-08-31, version 2.5.0* Mis recorridos ### 5/5 — Traductor *2026-08-29, version 2.5.0* XaGaJa675 ### 5/5 — Hambatan pada ragam bahasa sirna, komunikasi antar bangsa menjadi nyata *2026-08-28, version 2.5.0* Help full ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-08-28, version 2.5.0* Ok ### 5/5 — Translate AI *2026-08-25, version 2.5.0* Helpful,Excellent !!! ### 5/5 — finally talking to my gf's family *2026-08-25, version 2.5.0* my girlfriend is from mexico and most of her family speaks spanish. i've been learning for a while but i'm def not at the “sit at dinner and understand 5 people talking at full speed” level yet lol. usually she ends up translating for me which i know gets annoying for both of us. i tried this app during a family get together and the listening/headphone feature is honestly what made me write this review. i had one earbud in and being able to hear translations made it so much easier to follow what everyone was talking about without constantly asking my girlfriend “wait what did they say?” 😂 i still try to understand as much spanish as i can first, but having this as a backup makes me way more comfortable joining conversations. i've also been using it when texting her mom bc i can check what i'm about to send before embarrassing myself lol. obviously it's not gonna magically make me fluent but it makes the language barrier feel a lot smaller. and i'm actually picking up more spanish from hearing/seeing the same phrases over and over. really really useful app. ### 5/5 — 實用 *2026-08-23, version 2.4.3* 簡單、實用 ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-08-22, version 2.4.3* Bueno --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
