Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Lingo7 at 100% against Translation Books's 29%. Lingo7 also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (6 vs 2). Translation Books's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Translation Books holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Translation Books's written reviews are positive against 100% of Lingo7's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Translation Books ships an update fortnightly, Lingo7 every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
