We’ve tried to translate train tickets in Berlin from German into English. It failed spectacularly even the simplest task. ### 1/5 — DOESNT EVEN WORK *2024-08-05, version 5.2.12* Barely free, and doesn’t even translate. What a waste ### 1/5 — Ridiculous app. Fails consistently *2024-07-28* I’m not sure what the use of an app that fails every time is. The “trial” version is 3 photos before you have to pay an exorbitant subscription, each of those three times just gave me an error despite the next being clear and backlit (on a screen) and despite failing each time still ate up the 3 uses. I’m guessing they have bots leaving these positive reviews. ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-07-16, version 5.2.12* No description necessary. Just garbage ### 1/5 — Что бы воспользоваться бесплатной купи платную за неделю. Развод намденьги и не чего больше *2024-06-02* Пи до ра ссыы ### 1/5 — Location sharing shouldn’t be required *2024-05-10* I would have loved to try the app out, but I deleted it after seeing that I was required to share my location. Hard pass. Forcing users to share their location when your app does not offer any sort of service where that is necessary is not cool. It’s obvious it’s for data collection. If your app can translate the language, it should be able to detect which language without needing to know where the user is physically located. ### 2/5 — Перевод *2024-05-09* Переводит странно и остаются иностранные слова например перевожу с русского на Английский переводит странно и половина на русском а другая на Английском ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2024-03-01, version 5.2.12* 😑 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pas gratuite *2026-06-07* Bonjour, on me demande de payer après 24 heure, je ne veux pas payer, ni être abonné, je ne vois aucun abonnement dans iTunes , je ne veux rien payer ### 1/5 — payant *2026-01-10* il faut payer obligatoirement c’est quoi cette blague ### 1/5 — I didn't even get to use the app *2025-09-16, version 5.2.13* As soon a I got in the app I tried to scan a Japanese phrase an it said I had no refills when I tried again it didn't work and I was not going to wait 24 hours to do what I should have been able to from the beginning. ### 1/5 — Don’t Download unless you want another Subscription *2025-07-15, version 5.2.13* This won’t let you translate anything without to premium. ### 1/5 — Whattttttttttt *2025-07-04* I haven’t even open the app yet and it is not the first thing on the camera page is pay paid but still nothing is only me or it is really happening NONSENSE ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-06-03, version 5.2.13* It does not work for Vietnamese to English.

Didn’t even work once ### 1/5 — the app doesn't work *2025-04-09, version 5.2.13* I bought the app as a premium user. It worked for several months and now it doesn't work. It says error, but it's not clear what the error is. There is no help from the developers. I am very disappointed, money wasted. I don't recommend it. ### 1/5 — You only get three free translates and if it encounters an error it still uses a free go *2025-04-01* You only get three free translates and if it encounters an error it still uses a free go ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Restaurando vidas *2025-02-02, version 5.2.12* Una vida antes y después transformando vidas y de las familias ### 5/5 — Очень хорошая предложение *2024-12-22* Привет ### 5/5 — Li *2024-12-08, version 5.2.12* Am ### 5/5 — 💕 *2024-10-29, version 5.2.12* 💕 ### 5/5 — drtadawul *2024-07-01, version 5.2.12* Very well ### 5/5 — Good *2024-05-19, version 5.2.12* All perfect ### 5/5 — Quick and Easy *2024-04-25, version 5.2.12* Amazing translations !!!!
