This is the best app you can rely on, it doesn't use data and it has enough speed and it translates well and it's understandable, you won't regret having it

Honestly I found this app very very helpful for me. I always wonder how could this actually be possible . I am learning a lot in amharic Arabic as well as english. I love this app.

Super good app, works really well and gives pretty accurate OCR for some of the tough languages like Russian, Japanese and even Tagalog (filipino). Certain elements of the app could be better. For example, the language swap button can be put to the end side instead of the middle. The box is way too small and often it ends up tapping the language switcher instead of the swapper button. I'll try mail the rest to the dev directly, the message box seems to be short in that regards. ✌🏻

- Selection of translators is a good option. - Having to pay extra for most languages, when Google or Bing is doing the translation is a stupid ripoff. Com'on guys. Get real. - The marquee selection tool to select text blocks for translation is troublesome to use, especially near the Edge Screen rounding. Other translators use a simple point-at-text-block method, which is far easier to use. - Advertising in the free version can be very aggressive at times.

Fastest Uninstall ever. The translations are horribly inaccurate and it's not user friendly. LOTS of ads. And I won't even start on privacy issues with this app. It records EVERYTHING on your screen. And I mean everything, passwords, emails, etc. For as long as "Translate from other apps" is enabled, this app records whatever is happening on your screen, all the time and not just when using the app.

I like how easy it is to translate one language to another by just using a picture or something, scanning the words on screen or when you dont have to copy paste the word. Still even if this app is free there's always a catch, like you can't use some of the language, you have to purchase it or watch ads. Speaking of ads, i hate em. But all in all, good app

This app is very helpful for me in China. Yes I paid for it, but the floating ball in screen is so helpful to translate apps. The translation is pretty good, and you can even choose which program to use, for instance Google or Baidu. BUT...big negative is that even though I paid, after every 5 translations I get an advertisement to watch. This is really annoying when you are in the middle of translating. I would happily pay a bit more and get rid if the ads.

The app is very helpful. But some new versions are needed. For example, adding more than one Bangla or English synonyms of a word. Additionally, synonyms-antonyms were added. Reconnect offline translators. Thanks.

App works when it wants to. Some times it will work perfectly and translate text on my screen other times it just says "no text" even though I am selecting text.

Surprisingly, this app is really impressive! The screen translation feature works so well that I can translate messages from my German friends easily. It's incredibly helpful, and it also lets you read comics in different languages. Overall, I'd say it's a great app!

Does not function with any japanese kanji on images, even typed kanji. Don't use this if you're trying to translate manga or the like, it will not work. It will also ensure that you use your "free" translations on failed translations, and missclicking or accidently sizing the translation window wrong will also consume "free" translations, even if nothing was translated. Very clearly designed to be be anti-consumer and deliberately unintuitive to use.

Bugs - I was not able to screenshot the area I was selecting (near the bottom of my phone) because the app would not expand the selection area. Required reinstall. The application would give me alternating translations (even when ONLY highlighting text). It works decently enough, but I will not do modular payment for certain languages. If it's actually $40 for EVERYTHING, please just list it for $40. I'm worried about future phones remembering that I paid for multiple microtransactions.

Paid for it, but my experience with it isn't great. It frequently fails to work, is glitchy, translates poorly, and the amoint of ads is absolutely ridiculous. Even if the translation fails due to the app itself, the failed translation counts toward your total, meaning that the money you pay for the language or lack of ads is thrown away. Translations frequently make no sense and often switch some letters for others, completely changing the meaning of the sentence. Do not spend money on this

Very good translator. I needed a translator that would read and translate to my language an Android app that could translate areas on web page, pictures, and even apps from Google Play store... The two translator apps I had been using were able to translate the majority of the information, but, there were areas that were not translatable.This was what I was looking for You can have the app on and it will automatically appear on the page that you are translating. JUST HOVER. over the area! SUPER!

It give you 5 free translations for bigger languages like Japanese and Chinese then makes you watch a video for more translations, or pay for the language. If it wasn't for needing to translate on my phone screen I would have used Google translate. The "mouse" box used to choose the text to translate was good, but being in the app because the overlay wouldn't disperse after trying to translate 1 more time was seriously annoying. I had to turn off my phone and lose notifications because of it.

03/08/21 why did you remove the ability to X out at the bottom of the screen?! Update 06/07/22 app has gone from bad to worst. Doesn't always translate and they are bad when it does. It freezes. It's clunky and the ability to easily close out the app was removed, I believe, it was so the devs can read everything you do on you screen. I paid for this awful app and now I'm looking for something better than this!🤬 Another flaw is when you hit copy it copies source language instead of the target!

Works great at identifying text to translate but the ads are ridiculously invasive. I have the biggest issue that some languages require a premium fee in order to be used a limited number of times (unless you pay almost $30 usd for unlimited access but then you still have another premium fee to remove ads.) I would understand a few to buy the "premium" version of the app but it's way too expensive for the recreational purposes I use it for.

Dropped 2* because of the deceptive advertising. An Ad pops up at the beginning offering "VIP Premium" for $35 us. But if you go into the app you can get rid of the ads for $9.99. Love the app, That's why I paid the $9.99. But the $35 Ad should be more clear that lower price options are available. 1st review: Worked perfectly on 1st try. Just what I was looking for.

Amazing app! I can finially read more foreign manga because of it. Ive looked everywhere, but this app is perfect! I love the on screen touches. The english could be a bit better than it already is, but the english grammar is good so far. I would give it five stars but when i try to watch ads to keep translating, it wont load. And the unlimited feature in purchasing is sort of expensive... And i hate how i only get a limited amount of uses.

Nice idea, but many problems. 1.) It takes ads to translate. 2.) It records your screen constantly and can see everything you do. If it only recorded while you were translating, that'd be fine, but it's constant. It sees all passwords and emails you enter. Everything you see, they see. Super invasive. 3.) The translation quality is worse than Google Translate. You may as well just switch apps to that and you'd get a better, faster, unmonitored, ad-free translation.
