Pretty good

It’s pretty good, but they definitely need more. Languages works fine. I don’t know why people keep saying it doesn’t work good

Lacks Spanish (Mexico) and Conversation History

After all of these years this app existed, it’s baffling that Apple decided not to capitalize on Spanish for Mexico, or the other variations that cover Central America and South America. They only have Spanish from Spain, which doesn’t make sense with today’s standards. Another questionable feature, or lack of, is the non-ability to look up previous translated texts. Yeah, let’s just discard translated conversations immediately… it’s ridiculous. They might as well take this app off the store already, or modernize it with features that matter.

Deceptive billing

No warnings, this app bills you $4/week. The interface is slow and clunky, can not recommend anyone use it.

BRO

GNG IT GLITCHYYY

Don’t buy AirPods pro 3 for this

Keeps stop translating (French to English) although the conversation is in progress and I did not end it, when starting again it translates in few seconds and then same thing. It used to be ok like a month ago that I used it..

Bad English Chinese translation

Translate sextant into Chinese as 六种人😀

Broken.

It is impossible to download any of the languages to use off-line on my iPhone or my watch. I talked to an Apple advisor for about half an hour. We went through all the steps. Nothing works would’ve been really nice to have to use this and not pay for it like I will on a different Translator app, but I’m gonna just go to Microsoft because at least they will have their stuff together

Add LatinoAmerican

Please add the other Spanish dialects to the app. The translations are hard to carry on the conversation and need the speakers to explain what they mean

字体大小

希望字体大小可以在此应用上随意调节。谢谢

Wrong translation

Don’t know who is feeding this tool. You must revisit who and how the translation data is done.
Propitiação is Not the translation of propitiation.
Propiciação is.
Please do not mislead people.

Gender

When you talk in language that has gendered terms, Apple Translate assumes you are a male and doesn't even let you change this

When will Bangla/Bengali be available?

I recently found a social post on TikTok or Instagram that praised this app as an alternative to Google Translate.
I know message translations from iMessages and other apps don’t work on iPhone as Bengali and Bangla aren’t available. It means, I must copy and paste these to Google Translate, ChatGPT or Claude to get the context of these. As this is a translation app, it’s disappointing that Hindi and Arabic are there but not Bengali or Urdu.
To truly be an app that replaces Google Translate more languages must be added!

No Romanian language

Romanian is advertised as one of the translation languages but it is not there. I uninstall immediately.

Pinyin not displayed

The app worked fine for about two months. Then the pinyin for Chinese stopped showing. Only characters were displayed. A few weeks later pinyin was displayed with the characters. Two months later pinyin disappeared. The pinyin is what I need to speak and pronounce what I’m trying to say. Can’t figure out how to get pinyin showing again.
