I bought it because it was suggested it was better than google translate. I have translated a few sentences from French to English the result was not good... ### 4/5 — Practical *2018-06-07, version 2.96* This app has a very good function that is speech translation. In many cases, it can help me to solve the problem of language communication. I think this app is convenient for me, I'm not worried about the translation of French. ### 4/5 — Useful *2018-06-07, version 2.96* I can use this app conveniently to translate between English and French.

I really like how I can use this at any time to find translations – online or offline. ### 5/5 — fantastic *2018-06-05, version 2.96* I traveled to Paris recently and made good use of this app. I do not speak very much French and I used this app Every time to communicate. I have found it to be a very useful tool. Thank you! ### 5/5 — works well *2018-06-05, version 2.96* This app is a MUST HAVE if you are learning French, it lets you translate everything in a matter of seconds and supports lots of useful features. It's awesome ### 5/5 — Perfect! *2018-06-05, version 2.96* It's completely useful. It works fast, the essential dictionaries are available with clear anonymous and synonymous vocab. It also includes the US and UK pronunciations, collocations and examples. No complaints, it's great! ### 5/5 — nice *2018-06-05, version 2.96* This app is excellent. I have a small background in French. This helps me to relearn and communicate conveniently with friends abroad! ### 5/5 — very nice *2018-06-05, version 2.96* This was very helpful for a recent trip to France, providing translations for most words while my phone remained in airplane mode. Top translator app I have ever used, and I have used many ### 5/5 — so good *2018-06-05, version 2.96* Very helpful when traveling! Especially offline and pronunciation features. I am using it while attending an intensive French course in Quebec and it is proving to be invaluable ### 5/5 — it's great *2018-06-05, version 2.96* I’ve been studying French for one year and have gone through about seven different apps. All not reliable, I stumbled upon this one before my trip to France. It’s the only app I feel translate phrases correctly and helps me to better understand the language ### 5/5 — the best *2018-06-05, version 2.96* Easy navigation, lots of phrasing options, and assistance with pronunciation ### 5/5 — really good *2018-06-05, version 2.96* This app is AMAZING I love the functionality and I am never disappointed when searching for ways to express a certain phrase I may be thinking of ### 5/5 — works well *2018-06-05, version 2.96* I’m in Nice and this app has been golden for me in communicating with people at a moment’s notice. Very happy I downloaded it ### 5/5 — Good helper *2018-06-05, version 2.96* When travel abroad, Translate Offline: French Pro is our good helper. Photo translation, voice output of the input text, swap language, voice output of the translate. All features are offline. Translate instantly, from French to English and from English to French. Awesome. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pathetic *2024-08-18, version 2.981* Sometimes no translation comes up. Other times totally incorrect translations appear. This is a total bust. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2019-06-19, version 2.96* Don’t get it. It doesn’t work. Buggy. ### 1/5 — AVOID! Very poor translations *2019-05-28, version 2.96* Wow are the translations awful in this app. Huge waste of money. For example, "vide grenier" (a yard sale or tag sale) is translated as "gut a loft". It found that just about every other phrase i would enter while traveling would be equally poor. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous interpretation *2016-07-12, version 2.20* When a so-called translation program confuses the written word "died" with "dyed" it destroys any confidence one may have had in it. The sentence "my sister died" was translated as "my sister was dyed"! ### 1/5 — Huge Problem With This App *2016-05-15, version 2.20* The audio translation plays back EXTREMELY fast (think Alvin and the chipmunks) making this app almost useless. Don't waste your time or money. ### 1/5 — Not worth it! *2016-01-21, version 2.18* The photo option is great for helping my son study for French but the computer voice is awful! And the french to English translation is horrible and incorrect for conversational. Find another app. ### 1/5 — Bad Experience *2015-11-05, version 2.18* French to English translation very inaccurate. Waste of time and money ### 1/5 — déçu *2014-08-18* que de mauvais points pour ce traducteur payant qui est loin de donner la satisfaction annoncée: 1) trouvez moi le bouton pour cette fonction "voix" 2) ne fonctionne que dans un sens: anglais vers français et non l'inverse 3) téléchargement incomplet depuis itune 4) quand on souhaite changer la langue (inverser le sens par exemple) on nous envoi vers une pub ou l'achat d'un autre produit de la boite qui aa dévellopé cette chose 5) soyez très bon en orthographe pour taper le mot à traduire (vous savez, celui que vous ne connaissez pas pour utiliser ce logiciel) 6) aucune photo prise sur un texte anglais n'a reellement reconnu les caractères. REMBOURSEZ! REMBOURSEZ! ### 1/5 — Utterly useless *2014-02-07, version 2.1* It couldn't translate any photos I took of French. It doesn't have any pronunciation help (verbal or written) and it can't even translate simple things like y a from French to English. It was an absolute waste of money, time, and effort on my part. I gave it a star because that was the only way to place this review. It wasn't even worth a stupid electronic gold star. ### 1/5 — Stymied user *2013-10-30, version 2.0.4* Completely useless as it translates to garbage characters..... Just flushed 2.99 down the drain.... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Worked a treat *2018-12-30, version 2.96* Downloaded this in Mauritius for a trip through Reunion and Rodrigues. Helped immensely when trying to decipher menus etc, but was too ‘French’ for the creoles...but at least we could grab words. It was a start! ### 5/5 — like it *2018-06-06, version 2.96* Great app. I'm blown away at the level of usability this app has. I use it on a daily basis to translate from English to French as I live in Paris. It’s really simple and easy to use. I really satisfied using this ### 5/5 — awesome *2018-06-06, version 2.96* Straight forward app for composing complete sentences, phrases, or even just words. Works both directions ### 5/5 — good job *2018-06-06, version 2.96* An outstanding app for work and fun. The audio feature is perfect for pronunciation. ### 5/5 — It's good *2018-06-06, version 2.96* Gives the right translator for French. It’s both fast and accurate. Handy in breaking the occasional language barrier. It’ll stay on my iPhone ### 5/5 — well done *2018-06-06, version 2.96* The best app, it is easy, free and accurate! I was looking for theses three qualities and I finally found them here, on this app ### 5/5 — I love it *2018-06-06, version 2.96* They really got this right. It’s simple, Easy To use and full of all the right stuff. It’s really helping me with my French class ### 5/5 — wonderful *2018-06-06, version 2.96* Fabulous app for someone like me who is trying to learn French. Simple and Accurate. You can use it anywhere ### 5/5 — pretty good *2018-06-06, version 2.96* Been using this For quite some time. Whether you’re fluent or just learning, a must have for Spanish speakers ### 5/5 — love it *2018-06-05, version 2.96* Does exactly every translation with accurate grammar at a high level. Loads extremely fast. I would Recommend this App to anyone who wants to learn French --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
