ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iTranslate Lingo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iTranslate Lingo has 4.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Algorithms HQ's written reviews are positive against 39% of iTranslate Lingo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Algorithms HQ ships an update every 16 months, iTranslate Lingo every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
