But too many ads ### 2/5 — Used to work *2024-01-27, version 12.14.23* This was my favorite app for years. But now it force closed after being opened for a few seconds. Please fix it! ### 2/5 — Lacking of a language *2024-01-06, version 12.14.23* This dictionary must add the Kurdish Language to the languages whether Kurmanji or Sorani, please indicate this. Because It’s necessary to add. ### 3/5 — Translator needs help with Tagalog. *2023-08-27, version 12.13.78* Needs improvement for Tagalog. Some words just don’t translate at all. Plus there is only 2 options sometimes 3 for translation. And they definitely need help. I use this app all the time. I bought a lifetime subscription to it. It’s bothers me that I can’t get the correct information from someone trying to have a conversation with. So please work on Tagalog translation as it has a major impact on my understanding and personal life relationship. Please also understand that there are multitudes of different dialects from the Philippines. Having a different translation for each would be very nice to have. ### 4/5 — My review *2023-05-16, version 12.13.78* I say this app is 99 % good but for the language Punjabi the speaker has to say the word ### 2/5 — Für Chinesisch das Beste, braucht Update *2022-08-30* Braucht dringend Update, stürzt stetig ab. War Klasse für Chinesisch, Text in Fotos, reinkopierter Text, übersetzte ins Englische z.B. Ausdrücke und übersetzte Sätze ins Chinesische auch sehr gut. Aber leider nicht gerade jetzt. ### 2/5 — Japanese translator Isn’t working properly *2021-10-28, version 1.7.45* The Japanese translator via google sometimes is not working, i.e. sometimes there’s no spoken sound and there’s no Latin pronunciation beneath the line thenI need to press on the browser to see it etc. APP Need. Improvements, Keep working on it ### 3/5 — Problem with freezing *2021-09-30, version 1.7.45* Recently, when I have multiple apps open, and I open this app, which I use all the time, my phone freezes. It is really annoying! What happened? ### 4/5 — Good . *2021-08-25, version 1.7.45* It needs a little upgrade it gets confusing but it is very good ### 4/5 — no *2021-07-15, version 1.7.45* yes ### 5/5 — TRANSLATE APP *2021-07-02, version 1.7.45* Very useful ### 5/5 — Its good *2021-06-01, version 1.7.45* 👌🏻 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-03-30, version 1.7.45* Very helpful ### 5/5 — Good app *2021-03-17, version 1.7.45* Thanks alot for this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — IT’S ABOUT THE ADS!!! *2026-05-07, version 12.14.23* I can’t do anything with this! Ads pop up every 10 seconds I don’t have time to get a translation in edgewise ### 1/5 — 에휴 *2024-07-07* ㅂㅅ같은 앱 광고 ㅆㅂ 절대로 깔지마라 ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-12-12, version 12.13.78* Got one translation and can’t get a new one. Lousy program. ### 1/5 — Kurdish language *2023-02-01, version 12.13.78* What a peculiar app? Where’s Kurdish language? More than 50 millions people speaks this language! ### 1/5 — Upgraded *2022-11-17, version 12.13.78* I upgraded from free to $9.99 a year, the upgrade is not good, I can only say two or three words to be translated the recorder stops. I don’t know how to contact someone for help? After you upgrade the apps does not work often. ### 1/5 — Not worth waiting 5 minutes each screen *2021-08-07* Too many adds … once I change the language I won’t need the app often so not with a subscription. Poor effort ### 1/5 — This App Stinks!!! *2020-09-12, version 1.7.45* Hard to use! No decent instructions on how to use app and translator of no value at all. Worst of all, too “many adds!!”This is supposed to be an app, not a means of pushing too many advertisements on people!!! ### 1/5 — A L D *2020-06-04, version 1.7.45* Whatever word, I tried it failed to give me corresponding answer. I will delete it. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-05-09, version 1.7.45* The sound doesn’t work at all, looks like it is just full of ads with no actual service. Weird app that does nothing I. Terms of translating anything. Don’t recommend this app for learning. ### 1/5 — Unprofessional *2020-04-23, version 1.7.45* Unprofessional ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Double Check for errors. *2026-08-24, version 12.14.23* When one translator is incorrect, check out others to be sure which one is correct. I admire that it shows multiple translators at once. ### 5/5 — Remembering Rosemary Harrison *2026-08-06, version 12.14.23* Remembering Grandpa Harrison ### 5/5 — Chequera *2026-03-11, version 12.14.23* ILeana Ramos Méndez ### 5/5 — Multiple Translators in One! *2025-05-10, version 12.14.23* I’ve been using this translator app for years and it’s by far my favorite translator. The multiple dictionaries/translators that you can install provides every possible translation, which helps IMMENSELY in comprehension. I use it for translating Korean, and in my fluency progression, I can now discern which translations are more accurate. For those who haven’t used this app yet, the differences in translations are quite surprising! I HIGHLY recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Excellent *2024-02-26, version 12.14.23* Please just add dark mode! And move the entire tool bar to bottom of screen and will Be perfect! Also the DeepL translations don’t appear. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-02-22, version 12.13.78* Very useful translator , specifically it contains a lot of languages ### 5/5 — WOO-HOO *2023-01-25, version 12.13.78* After updating IOS, which required ofd-loading numerous apps, this is again working awesome! What I appreciate is I get 4-5 translations so I'm able to compare and figure out what's being said as opposed to one, and what a difference! It's well worth the money I paid IMHO! ### 5/5 — Deborah *2022-04-16, version 12.13.78* This app is wonderful. It’s just what I was looking for. I am learning German on my own ( trying to keep my brain active I am up there in age ) and this has helped tremendously. Try it , you won’t be disappointed. Myers number 1 ### 5/5 — Exactly *2021-12-30, version 1.7.45* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-09-24, version 1.7.45* Excellent --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
