1. 1/5Literally unusable, only translates into Spanish?

   I took a picture of the text I wanted to translate (it was in Italian) and for whatever reason it translated it to Spanish. The issue is that when I changed the setting to translate it to English, it wouldn’t do it. It would only show the Spanish translation even when set to English. So I tried going back and retaking the picture to try again, but it just gave me a pop up asking if I wanted to upgrade to premium, then made me watch a 30 second ad when I said no. When the ad finished, it hadn’t even taken the picture. I tried again and the same thing happened. Pop up, ad, still no picture. So far as I can tell, you get exactly ONE translation before they make you upgrade. Who knows, maybe if you’re really lucky, it will even translate your one free scan to the language you actually set it to instead of some random other language. Also, it made me watch 5 different ads in the incredibly short time I used it. I understand free apps need a way to make money, but this is excessive, especially since the app doesn’t seem to actually *have* a free version despite pretending they do.

2. 2/5Not that great!

   It translates properly less than 50% of the time. The other problem I encountered was that it chooses a different language after I scan. For example, I wanted to translate Chinese to English, but when I scanned something, it showed up as scanning from Japanese to English. Plus, I am finding it very hard to unsubscribe from the services. The app says I can unsubscribe by going into the settings and unsubscribing after I have subscribed. The problem is that there is no “setting” button in the app. Well there is, but the only options to choose are “FAQs, Other Apps, Email Us, Review App, Share This App.” There isn’t an option to unsubscribe. I feel like I am about to be taken for a ride with my money.

3. 1/5💢💢 DOESN’T WORK! 💢💢

   I’ve seen a few reviews saying the same thing, “When I take a picture, a page pops up encouraging to buy a monthly or yearly pass.” I’ve taken ONE picture to try to translate Thai to English. It didn’t really work, it translated one word that doesn’t correlate to the the bottle. Then, I’ve tried to take it again, because maybe it was the glare. But then a page pops up showing you to buy a Monthly, Yearly or Weekly pass to continue to take photos. I believe that this app doesn’t work for the ONE and only photo that didn’t really work well. So, if your really want to spend your money for a pass, I’d recommend to take the ONE photo that you’re even aloud to. Although maybe with the passes it will work better. There has also been a few reviews saying that a few words weren’t translated or correct.

4. 2/5Very limited dictionary

   Some things about this app are cool, but I actually did not find it helpful at all. I purchased a month’s access to use while I was in Spain, and I found that the camera did not recognize many items. I’d take a picture of a light switch, hoping to find the term for light switch, but I’d get words like “wall” and “device” and “utility.” A photo of a cutting board gave me the word for wood. The software is not smart enough for concepts relating to purpose, which covers a whole lot of everyday vocabulary. The concept is great, and it could be fun if you are using it just to build basic vocabulary, but it is not helpful when you need precise terminology to achieve an immediate goal. I ended up using a Spanish dictionary app for my travels. Also, I couldn’t figure out how to cancel my subscription. That was annoying.

5. 1/5Great but I had to keep deleting and downloading

   This isn’t fair because there was this video and I couldn’t understand the title the first time. I did it the second time and it said I had to do a free trial. I’m not doing a free trial just to see stuff that I don’t understand! This is why I have to keep re-downloading it. If you want a great app, maybe it would just be cool if you took off the free trial so other people can enjoy it instead of complaining about how the trial was worth nothing. I feel bad for those people that paid for that and received nothing good out of it. This app is trash and should be free and the app in general needs to be free. I’m tired of these types of apps making you get the app for free and then you have to do this stupid free trial. The sad thing is that you have to pay for completely nothing! I wish I was the person getting paid right now. Update this app to where you don’t need a free trial to enter what’s not even worth it! Make it free to where you can use it unlimited for all people and or just using a free trial.
