Setting buttons don’t work. Needs and option to translate from Chinese calligraphy to English text to be able to understand and pronounce the word. Not everyone can read calligraphy. (Surprisingly) ### 1/5 — Are you kidding me *2020-05-24, version 1.2* When you buy this app it goes straight to where it says get premium and start your free trial and get 3 days free and then you start paying like 20 dollars a month and I know it says that it is like 67 cents a day but it is just like that so you can think it is 67 cents but no it is really 20 dollars this app isn't going to fool anyone. And if you really want a translated app you can just download Google translate and it is totally free so stop wasting your money on this app and download Google translate and it can help you with any language and you can practice your handwriting in different languages too and there is so much more on Google Translate so stop wasting your money on this app and download Google Translate. ### 1/5 — Why Would Anyone Buy This *2020-05-24, version 1.2* Can’t even use the app unless you pay, just a waste of my time, and a waste of money if you buy.👎 ### 1/5 — Generic *2020-05-19, version 1.2* This app is pretty generic or at its infancy it tells me plant, leaf, wood not the specific item or plant LAME!!! ### 1/5 — Scam *2020-05-19, version 1.2* $20 / month for an app which doesn’t work as advertised. It’s unusable and barely recognizes anything. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2020-05-17, version 1.2* Couldn’t recognize Lighter Cup Pizza Orange Dates the fruit Knife ### 1/5 — Fantastic idea *2020-05-16, version 1.2* Horrible results ### 1/5 — Stupiddd *2020-05-14, version 1.2* This is really stupid, I ain’t tryna pay $.70 each day. I wish free apps would come back cuz this is bs. Nowadays everyone wants to scam smh ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-05-12, version 1.2* You need to pay money for a FREE app just to get on and it doesn't even work well I show it a bottle of water nothing a pencil nothing a marker nothing don’t spend your money on this!!! ### 1/5 — translate this with your garbage app *2020-05-11, version 1.2* Hierdie መተግበሪያ تمتص չի israf sənin vaxt সঙ্গে এই aitzakia з един အက်ပလီကေးရှင်း. GOOD LUCK TRANSLATING THAT ### 1/5 — Very annoying *2020-05-07, version 1.2* Every day sending me a notif if i want to try themm.. is crazy ### 1/5 — Really *2020-05-02, version 1.2* U guys got to stop trying to make money off these games stop because every game I want it cost money so JUST STOP. ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2020-05-01, version 1.2* I downloaded this app from an ads, thinking it would be nice. First, it doesn’t work, secondly you need to pay a HUGE amount of money to use it... There are hundreds of free app for translating stuff, this one doesn’t worth to pay a penny for it. Basically, it’s a SCAM. ### 1/5 — Nothings ever free *2020-05-01, version 1.2* Awful ### 1/5 — The concept of the app is cool *2020-04-28, version 1.2* Yes. The concept of the app sounds cool and don’t get me wrong, it is! But when you try to use the free trial it doesn’t let you. If you want to use the app after a 3 day trial, you HAVE to pay 0.88 cents a day. That’s almost 30$ a month! It’s not worth paying, because almost nobody uses a translator every single day. Don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2020-04-28, version 1.2* You can’t even use this app, you have like 3 days free then you have to pay 20 dollars a month. This makes absolutely no sense. It’s literally a translator and it’s unusually expensive. The devoloper(s) try and hide the fact that it is 20 dollars a month by saying it’s only 0.67$ a day. I’m tired of seeing this kind of stuff on the appstore. But seriously, nobody is spending 20 dollars on this, that’s more money than Netflix costs a month and you can get more entertainment out of that. ### 1/5 — Dont get *2020-04-28, version 1.2* I saw this on tiktok and since im trying to learn languages I thought it would be a good app but like every app you have to pay so it decided to just wath some videos ### 1/5 — Please Don’t!!!!!! *2020-04-27, version 1.2* This application it’s a waste. The application is not what they say it does. I took a photo of gold and it did not say it was gold like the commercial for the app I saw. So take it from me don’t waste your time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do NOT buy this app *2020-10-04, version 1.2* It still baffles me how someone can advertise something as free but then force users to pay to use it. The free trial shows just how bad the app is too. Just get Google Translate for free, it does everything this apps does but better and it’s free. ### 1/5 — You’re all scum *2020-09-08, version 1.2* The developers are scum bags ### 1/5 — N O T worth it *2020-08-14, version 1.2* bro you have to pay to do everything just get free easy google translate. their stealing your money ### 1/5 — They still my money so I don’t trust this app please don’t download it guys *2020-07-26, version 1.2* .. ### 1/5 — Absolute TRASH. *2020-07-23, version 1.2* It makes u pay and also when I tried to start my free trial (which isn’t for a long time) it kept crashing and I couldn’t use it. ### 1/5 — Not worth *2020-07-09, version 1.2* Very expensive Every month they change $26 In App Store so many app better then this one and free also ### 1/5 — Just no *2020-06-30, version 1.2* I’m not spending 20 dollars on a app that has the same functions as google translate just no ### 1/5 — This is trash *2020-06-23, version 1.2* As soon as you buy this app you have to pay to use it. It makes no sense why you should buy it. Don’t waste your money it doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Why do i have to pay u witch I never used your app *2020-06-21, version 1.2* Why do i have to pay u witch I never used your app ### 1/5 — Not good *2020-06-16, version 1.2* I can’t get fevers ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome!!! *2020-05-02, version 1.2* This app so far is great.
