bad

it translates for you but you get only a minimum of I think 5 translations. After that it makes u pay and upgrade. don’t reccomend unless ur rich or wanna pay

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback — we understand your frustration. The app offers a limited number of free translations so users can try it before deciding whether it fits their needs. After that, a subscription is required to continue using the full service, which helps us support ongoing development, server costs, and improvements. That said, we hear you — pricing and free limits should be as clear and fair as possible. We’ll take your comments into account as we continue improving the experience.

Placement

I love Hola Translator but I wish it could be placed anywhere I want on my desktop.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback — glad you’re enjoying Hola Translator. That’s a great suggestion. We’re planning to add the ability to freely position the window on the desktop in one of the upcoming updates.

НЕ РАБОТАЕТ ПЕРЕВОД СТРАНИЦ

как бы не хотел и не пытался, перевод страниц не возможен через интерфейс расширения в сафари, пустая трата времени

Very Helpful

Just 1 click, and you got the translate. Some page not fully translate tho but still work

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback! Glad to hear the app is helpful and easy to use. We’re aware that some pages may not be fully translated — we’re working on improving this in future updates. Appreciate your support!

Lifetime subscription option is no longer restored.

After the recent update, Lifetime subscription option is no longer restored. This change was not mentioned in the version history. I consider this a deceptive sales practice.

Vocabulary saver

I would like to be able to make a vocabulary list with this app, can I?

Bait and switch

Let us know BEFORE we download that you’re going to hit us with a subscription charge. I only need to use this during the one time a year I have to do my taxes, as the stupid tax website only works on Safari where Google Translate won’t work.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We understand your concern about pricing and subscription visibility. The app does have a subscription model for ongoing development, updates, and maintenance across macOS and Safari. We appreciate your use case — especially for occasional needs like taxes — and we’ll take your feedback into account to improve how pricing is communicated before download, so it’s clearer upfront.

It was great, now it's useless.

Update: Well, today even though I paid for all premium features, and I truly thought this app was going to be one of my main apps installed on my Mac, the latest update has been a nightmare. I am able to use it one time, after that there is no way to go back to the main screen. I literally use the Activity Monitor to be able to force quit the app. It’s that bad. With pain in my heart, because it was a really good app, today I am uninstalling it and forget about it. It is useless now. I’m not exagerating. You can’t use it. I’m not sure what transpired, but prior to the updates, the focus was on functionality and utility which was great for daily users requiring extensive translation services. However, after the update, they removed critical features like copy text, speech and execution functions. Essentially, they have simplified the app to only translation, eliminating the added benefits. Now, a third-party app is required to fulfill basic copy and paste necessities. It's quite disappointing.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback, and sorry for the frustrating experience. This issue has been fixed in the latest update. The problem with the app getting stuck and requiring force quit, as well as the removed workflow actions, has been addressed and restored. Please update to the newest version — the app should now work normally again with full navigation and functionality. If anything still feels off after updating, let us know and we’ll help right away.

Paid only, app store says it’s free

No free usage

Payant !

Une fois installer, une petite vidéo pour te dire que le produit est super. On te demande d’autoriser les permissions par ci, et puis par là et bout du compte on te demande de payer. Quel désillusion !

Response from developer

Merci pour votre retour. L’application est bien téléchargeable gratuitement, mais certaines fonctionnalités sont payantes afin de couvrir le développement, les mises à jour et la maintenance continue. Nous comprenons que le parcours puisse sembler long avant d’arriver à la page de paiement, et nous prenons ce retour en compte pour améliorer la transparence dès le départ.

App doesn’t work

The app loops back and forth between asking you to activate the extension, and/or locate the extension in your apps. Doesnt appear when you try to locate it through the translator app, but shows up in Finder. Doesnt ever work on webpages.

NOT FREE

NOT FREE

Can’t be used without a subscription

even though the translation is done by Google translate under the hood, not by a service run by hola

3 day free trial

Too expensive

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. The app includes a 3-day free trial so users can test all features before deciding. After that, a subscription or lifetime option is required to continue using the full functionality. We understand your concern about pricing and appreciate the feedback — it helps us improve the product and its value.

Hola Translator is Good but Not Great

Have been using for 2 years both on my MacBook and IOS devices. App frequently has to have the purchase restored and more annoying is that it hijacks the screen asking for payment. I will say the developers are responsive but this flaw is annoying. Also, sometimes works quickly and other times requires multiple tries. Overall, it is a good option but the flaws detract a lot from the function

フィードバックありがとうございます。アプリケーションを使用するよう努めます。

It works.

I use the app 4 to 8 times a week and it is perfect for communicating with new friends and doing business in the Republic of Panama the past half dozen years. It would be a lot harder and expensive to live in any Spanish speaking country without it. Hola an unobtrusive, small, functional app that gets the job done. Highly recommended.

Thanks for the feedback.

Bait and Switch?

The update info said, “fixed errors”. Actually added a subscription model and an autoplay video? Made me very anxious.
