### 5/5 — Can translator

*2024-07-11*

It’s so good I love it

### 1/5 — No me gusto la apps es muy por qu€rIa

*2024-04-26*

No me gusto para nada no la bajen

### 5/5 — So Far So Good

*2024-04-22*

So Far It Worked Perfectly. At least for what I was trying to do. It started with English to English and I changed it to Spanish to English. It didn’t work the very first time because I didn’t see that you had to change it to tradable text. I took a photo of the text I wanted to translate and it translated it in seconds. I will try the other features like taking pictures of objects and translating their names. And will update my review based on how that goes… But for the purpose of what I first downloaded it for - I’m giving it 5 out of 5 stars! Also I saw something about it’s great for the price and so far I haven’t had to pay anything and it seems free… So yes very excellent that it is free and hopefully I’m not misunderstanding that aspect of it. So yeah so far 5/5 - we’ll see if it stays that way.

### 5/5 — je lui donne 5 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ il est vraiment pratique . Essayer c’l’adopter😂

*2024-02-16, version 1.5*

C’est juste un opinion !!!! Dommage que on ne peuvent pas ralentir la narration ou mettre une voix moins stressante????je dois écouter 2 a 3 fois et il n’a pas aucune instruction dommage car j’aimerais bien avoir un peu de renseignements et prendre une photo je ne sais comment et quand on encadre un texte pourquoi on pourrait pas l’avoir noir si le fond et blanc….pour moi c’est des petites détails de rien du tout Bravo car j’adore cette application et gratuite 😃et plus que je l’utilise plus ont s’habitue ( pour moi l’encadrement lui j’ai un peu de difficulté Merci 🙏🏼 Au concepteur c’est vraiment bien pensé Alors merci à vous de l’avoir mis gratuit et c’est pour ça que j’en parle à d’autres…. oublié pas c’est juste mon opinion 🥹

### 1/5 — Отзыв

*2023-10-17*

Приложение вообще не рабочее! Для чего оно?

### 1/5 — Fake app... doesn't follow the rules

*2023-10-17*

The app talks about translating into Filipino, but the language doesn't even exist... so the app is weak and a lie, it only deserves one star and won't be able to rank
