When I try to take a picture to translate it just tells me what it is versus showing me. ### 2/5 — Great App, Terrible billing *2026-08-16, version 5.5.0* I purchased this app for a trip to Italy and Greece. Initially, I only wanted a one month subscription. I was charged for a year in advance and even though I cancelled, I was never refunded the money. Checking my email, I got an additional charge for a weekly subscription. The app worked great, but the billing process is a pure rip off. ### 1/5 — Rip off! *2026-08-09, version 5.5.0* Like others I’ve just had my phone bill and have been charged £10.99 a week! What a scam, I now can’t pay my bill. I’m furious. I’ve cancelled the app subscription but didn’t realise that although I’d only had it a month they’d charged me every bloody week. It’s not even a great app. Fuming. ### 1/5 — Scam! Never signed up *2026-08-08, version 5.5.0* I never subscribed, but recently discovered they’ve been stealing $10.99 from me every month. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-07, version 5.5.0* I never used this app and it’s been charge £9.99 every week since October 2025. I just found out from my bank statement. I have submitted request for full investigation. This app has serious problems regards to the personal data and privacy. ### 1/5 — STOP *2026-08-06, version 5.5.0* Do NOT get this app! They will charge you $10 a WEEK and there is no way to stop it!!! ### 2/5 — Not so good *2026-08-05, version 5.5.0* I recently used this app whilst with a lot of Dutch people, unfortunately it’s ability to listen to a conversation is very limited and often didn’t translate anything ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-08-05, version 5.5.0* Scanning text with the camera didn’t work when trying to translate from Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, and Polish. I had to take a picture first. Even then, a gray filter made the translation impossible to read. ### 1/5 — Does not work for real-time translation *2026-08-04, version 5.5.0* Terrible experience. Despite downloading using cellular when trying to access the microphone it constantly states no internet connection. I suspect this is because I signed up for a free trial then canceled the subscription. Before that it attempted to translate Japanese but only showed me voice to text in Japanese instead of translating to English. ### 1/5 — Still being charged *2026-08-03, version 5.5.0* I am still being charged. I cancelled the app and deleted it. You have tried to charge me $10.99 on 7/20, 7/27 and 8/1. I want these charges refunded and cancelled ### 1/5 — Scam and Theft *2026-08-03, version 5.5.0* I installed this app in Thailand to trial it for a day. It asked me to pay and I declined. But Unknown to me the trial subscribed me to a weekly subscription for $14.99. I just discovered I have been paying for this for the last 20 weeks. Avoid these crooks at all costs. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-08-02, version 5.4.0* Didn’t pick up voices and couldn’t translate anything. Total waste of money and download ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for our trip abroad *2026-08-01, version 5.4.0* I purchased this product for a trip to Europe. We ended up Using Google translate instead. It didn’t work as it was advertised. The screen would freeze when ever we tried to use the camera to read something. Now I am trying to cancel because I have been charged for another month of non use. ### 1/5 — Didn’t work for our trip abroad *2026-07-31, version 5.4.0* I purchased this product for a trip to Europe. We ended up Using Google translate instead. It didn’t work as it was advertised. The screen would freeze when ever we tried to use the camera to read something.

THIS APP IS A SCAM!!! ### 1/5 — REFUND!! *2026-07-29, version 5.4.0* You have been charging my card $10.99 four times this month already without my authorization. Please refund me my money. I am very unpleased with the lack of acknowledgement on this matter. ### 1/5 — No direct camera translation *2026-07-29, version 5.4.0* Take a picture, then wait, then you get the translation. There is no real time camera translation function. Google: try better. ### 1/5 — Weak *2026-07-28, version 5.4.0* This constantly has issues and it’s a waste of money. There’s really no offline mode and friends use free translators that work way better. ### 1/5 — Can not unsubscribe!! *2026-07-26, version 5.4.0* Can’t figure out how to unsubscribe!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Function *2026-09-05, version 5.7.0* When you need this app it doesn’t load. I need to cancel this wasted space on my phone. ### 1/5 — Worthless *2026-09-04, version 5.7.0* Translated a beer label as wine, upon second try it translated to Handwriting. Worthless ### 1/5 — DOSENT WORK DONT BUY! 😡 *2026-09-03, version 5.7.0* This app doesn’t work at all I’ve takes photos when out and about it says says can’t translate right now what a waste of money please please please don’t download this app and use it it’s a complete waste and a scam use a free ai app instead and it works perfect! 👌🏻 ### 1/5 — OMG! *2026-09-03, version 5.7.0* Seriously, have to pay to use this app. What a joke! ### 1/5 — Not translating to speech,only to written Japanese. *2026-09-02, version 5.6.0* See headline ### 1/5 — Don’t download *2026-09-02, version 5.6.0* This app is a scam. They charge you $11 a week and have no way to cancel subscription in the app. I even cancelled it through the App Store and they still somehow continued to charge me weekly. Will be disputing with my bank ### 1/5 — Beware! Scam! *2026-09-02, version 5.6.0* I signed up for a one month trial and they charged me the annual fee. Then they said they couldn’t do anything about it because I used Apple Pay. It seems like a scam. Stay away. ### 1/5 — They are taking my money *2026-09-01, version 5.6.0* If I give you this app zero soon I would. They stole my card number and have been charging me 10.99 multiple times a month. I did not sign up for the subscription, so it doesn’t show up App Store that I have a subscription. They have no way to contact them and no way for me to get my money back. I want a refund. You guys have taken hundreds of dollars from me. ### 1/5 — Total sucker scam app *2026-08-23, version 5.5.0* Don’t waste your time. As soon as you download , it’s 10 bucks a week, in the small print… and it’s very hard to cancel. If not impossible….
