Great app!I work in the physical therapy field and when there is a patient with a language barrier, this app has come in very handy to help me communicate and properly help the patient work towards their goals of getting healthier. The app on my iWatch can be a little slow and sometimes does not register what I am saying the first time so I may have to try 2/3 times. I would have to say the delay is the only issue I would have, but it’s nothing I would normally complain about. I have recommended this app to friends and family already. Thank you for building a bridge for people with language barriers, especially those in the medical field to properly help someone when it is very needed!.AppKrayzeVersion: 1.3.3

Learning a second language for training my dogThis plate form has been very useful for me while using it strictly to learn a foreign language that I am using strictly for the training of a dog I recently adopted. She is a German shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix and is at 2 yrs of age extremely too smart for her own good , being she not only can open the doors to my house to let herself out to chase rabbits and the neighborhood Karen’s but she has learned to unlock all doors in my house as well. Okay purpose for explaining that was I discovered that she was extremely bored when we were in town taking care of my dad at my ranch she stay’s put. Not so in town and after watching her I decided that she needed something to work her mind and well being I am not able to speak any language other than English I decided after Karen’s called animal control the second time that she needed to exercise her brain and must say that it was the easiest way to retain what is learned I have tried and failed to learn other language’s over the years and have always given up after a week or two but I have started learning one language to teach my dog commands and it was so helpful that I have started using it to learn the two languages I have always wanted to learn and never retained. Thank you for entertaining my dog and myself while teaching me German, Spanish and mandarin.Artisan arboristVersion: 1.6.24

Making my English language learners more aware of everything that goes on in my classThis app has been absolutely revolutionary in my teaching I don’t speak Espanol at all but I have several English language learners in my class these are students that are just learning to speak English this app allows me to hold a button talk to my English-speaking students and then press a button and play what I said to my Spanish speaking students it’s absolutely wonderful and it works great I also use it to make phone calls home and the families and households were Spanish is the primary language it allows me to communicate with parents is fabulous I dictated all this so there’s no punctuation please don’t think I’m a knucklehead God bless and God bless this app.ItsaGuidesLifeVersion: 1.6.10

Awesome app, betrayal of loyaltyI have use this app, and suggested it to many many many people as being superior to most other translator apps I’ve encountered. I worked on signage for 20+ years, which often requires translation into many languages, including Spanish, Chinese, German, etc. Went to use the app today to find out that it has been updated and his pay only rather than free. I download this as a free use app, and will now delete it for the exorbitant charge that they suddenly want to apply to allow people to communicate with one another. there should least be an ad option to avoid the weekly or monthly charges. Very disappointing..DesignCliffVersion: 1.6.38

Did not have language I needed but I was charged $77I work in human services and we serve many refugees. We needed a Dinka translator and none of our interpreter lines offered that language. Google search indicated this app had Dinka so I downloaded it and apparently signed up for a trial without realizing? No idea how that happened but as soon as I realized Dinka was not a language option, I deleted the app (which I wouldn’t have done without first canceling subscription had I realized that I’d signed up for one). Next thing I know, I have a $77 charge. Apple service site says this app isn’t eligible for refunds, but I have no use for it so it’s unfortunate I was mislead and charged a bunch of money. The app could very well be helpful if the language you need is included, but for me it was not and it was a costly mistake..K.Say91Version: 1.6.27

Seems to Work Mostly, However…This app, like many other translation apps does seem to work when individuals on each end have clear pronunciation. The voice to text is a great feature. Cutting out background noses will help. Simplify what is being communicated is helpful as well. The issues come with the spam like upgrade screens that pop up. Not to mention that the monthly or yearly subscription is always out of the question. If they charged $200 one time for a full upgrade I would pay that, however never would the subscription be an option. In all this is a good app that will hopefully continue to improve and add an option for a one time purchase of the full features..ELECTRIC CONSCIOUSNESSVersion: 1.6.24

Great phone app, good Apple Watch appThanks for responding to my email and fixing the Apple Watch app since it wasn’t translating. I’m happy to report it is now. I think the phone version is excellent. I am very happy there is a Watch app however, as I am not always able to pull out my phone and the watch helps. I do wish that in addition to the automatic translation; that you could translate by tapping on your spoken words like on the phone. This is mostly because the automatic translation lags a bit sometimes. But overall I am happy, and this seems to be the best real time translation app so far, and wish to see you continue supporting both apps..Artomic BombVersion: 1.6.10

Very transparent, and great app!First of all, I’d like to dismiss any concerns of my review. I am very real, and do not get paid by writing reviews. I am a regular iOS user, just like you, and have no affiliation with any of the app developers. With that being said, here are the facts of Converse. This is a free app to download. It does not charge you when you download it from the App Store. There IS a Pro version you can subscribe to WITHIN the app. When you open the app, the very first page that pops up simply shows you the membership options, and allows you to compare the differences. If you click below the memberships, it will CLEARLY show that you have opted for the membership, and shows the price right before you double tap the side button to enable Face ID. This is all very clear, and everyone I work with had no complaints about a “sneaky” way to force someone into a membership without their knowledge. Even before you download the app, it shows “FREE” and clearly notates the option for a membership within the app. And on that very first page that pops up once you have downloaded the app, and open it for the first time, there is a very clear “X” on the top right of the screen that allows you to exit from the different membership options, and continue to the FREE app. There are plenty of beneficial features to access without cost; however, the membership version offers some amazing features, that in my opinion, are much easier to use, and better than google translate. I like this app a lot. Very simple to navigate, and the interface looks great. Props to the developers on the simplicity, appearance, and features. I work around groups of people who speak Spanish, German, Chinese, and English, so I find this beneficial when interacting with them. It builds a bridge over the communication barriers, and allows me to build closer relationships in my travels. It’s a perfect app for everyone!.Daniel CallisterVersion: 1.4.2

I love this app!Love love love this app. 😍 I’ve been using Google Translate for the longest time. I wish I knew Spanish (& a few other languages🙄), but I don’t. & it’s really awkward for me every time🤬😅. Converse takes translation to a whole other level! Instead of having that stressful pause & awkward silence while I quickly try to type what I want someone else to understand (or vise versa)🤝 I literally can say what I want & the iTranslate voice responds quickly!! No more worrying about how embarrassing my pronunciation is, this app is fluent in 38 different languages!! When I’m bored, I’m literally gonna sit on my couch & talk to this thing all day, just to learn a new language. 🧐😁.I tried this.Version: 1.4.5

How to access the free BASIC versionDespite all the reviews, the developer is telling the truth that you can ‘X’ out of the upgrade offer. However, the X is almost impossible to see (top right corner) unless you scroll up slightly so it’s not hidden against the white background. It comes off as a bit shady, but the option is there. My only criticism of the actual app is in how poor the voice recognition can be. I’m a public speaker for a living and have very enunciated speech, but this thing had trouble understanding (US English). Seems to do better via the Apple Watch than the phone itself..MrKupkaVersion: 1.6.27

Doesn’t detect languagesWhen I first downloaded this app about a year ago I was extremely pleased with it. I think the screen was divided in half, and depending on which side you pressed was how it determined the language it translated from. My mom is a native Spanish speaker (Puerto Rico), and also a high school Spanish teacher. She generally hates translation apps and says they’re all trash. When I showed her this app, she couldn’t believe how accurate it was and hardly made mistakes because it actually translated words in context, rather than literally. That said, I just tried it again and now it will only translate from the language chosen on the bottom. The language detection is non existent. Whatever language is selected at the bottom of the screen, is assumed to be the speaking language. I’ve sent the bottom language to Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and German, and then I speak English for the translate, and it always thinks I’m speaking the other language and wants to translate it to English. Having to switch the languages every time the other person speaks makes the app pretty much useless. Maybe the automatic language detection is only available in the pro upgrade, but that isn’t mentioned anywhere and I’m not going to start a free trial just to find out. Also, The app used to let you flip the phone upside down so the microphone and speaker were at the top, but now the display doesn’t rotate when you flip the phone upside down. I don’t understand how such a great app could be turned into a piece of trash in just a few months time. I’ve given it three stars because it used to be good, and I believe it has the potential to be good again but the free version is absolute trash. If screen rotation and language detection are Pro features, they need to mention that somewhere, otherwise I’m assuming those features are broke or just don’t exist, which means it’s all false advertising..Ketov0reVersion: 1.6.10

One of the best translating apps out thereAt first I doubting that it will work but in the end I was so impressed. (I even amazed my friends and family with this) You can just say full sentences and it translates back quickly and compared to other apps, this is one translates closest to the meaning. I don’t know how accurate it is for other languages but I tried English to Malay (and English to French) and my family says that the grammar and vocabulary were correct. I did single words to sentences and it used the same words as I would’ve said. It was also fun to try out different languages and learning. For example, I did languages I didn’t know like Korean and tried to copy what it said. I felt so satisfied when it recognized what I said. I thought that I was accidentally subscribed because I couldn’t believe how much the free version offers 😱 One thing I would suggest is a history log so you can go back to the old conversation. Overall this is a great app that I would reccomend.ZAZUSAURUSVersion: 1.4.5

Wonderful! Can’t install on watch though...This is an amazing app! It works beautifully, it functions very well, and if it messes up just try again! (Ignore all ratings that say it doesn’t work, they probably just don’t speak with consonants) The one problem I seem to be having is that my phone installs it, but my watch just doesn’t care! Even the watch app only shows the one other app I have installed (MiniWiki). Please note that my phone is a crappy iPhone 6+ and my watch is so old that it also has the old Siri. (Also, my watch has watchOS 7).ZiriciumVersion: 1.6.27

So fun!I’m a manager for a cleaning company so I speak with a lot of people on a daily basis. This app has helped me with my team so many times!! My employees feel so appreciated simply because I made the effort to communicate with them. The only complaint I have so far is there are two languages I’m in need of for my job. Is there a way to submit language requests? Are more languages available in the future? I really hope so! I had so much fun with my French and Spanish speakers at work the other day. I will definitely be using this app daily!.Swilky19Version: 1.6.7

So far so goodI love this, I am trying to learn Spanish more since my husbands family doesn’t know much English. I spoke clearly and it translated perfectly. I can’t comment on the other languages as I don’t have much need for them. FOR THOSE THAT FEEL THAT THE APP TRICKED YOU TO PAY MONEY: When you first download this app and open it you will see the screen asking if you want to upgrade (this screen will pop up a few times FYI). It will have a huge bar that says continue. IF YOU DONT WANT TO PAY for pro do NOT press continue, all you need to do is tap the “x” on the top right of that screen. If you set up a trial you will have reoccurring payments, if you don’t want that you need to go into settings then press your name at the top. Then press iTunes and App Store. Then press on your Apple ID at the top, a screen will pop up, press VIEW APPLE ID. It will ask you to sign in, once you sign in scroll down and press SUBSCRIPTIONS. Here you can cancel any reoccurring payments. Great app!.Jessica BigatelloVersion: 1.3.3

Translation works wellI paid for the upgrade and it appears to runs much faster and smoother than the free version. Although the free version is ok and will get you by, the upgraded one is obviously going to be better because you pay for it. It has helped me in Mexico when I can’t remember certain words and the paid version lets you use offline mode which is nice. This offline mode is not available with the free version. So if you need to get by in a place with no cell/internet service it’s handy.Ceej321Version: 1.6.10

The TranslatorI considered buying one of those hand-held Translators. The range from about 80 bucks to several hundred dollars. This app does just what I was looking for and the fee, monthly $5 or annually $50 is worth it. AND, unlike the hand-held translators, I always have my phone handy. No need to carry a separate device. In addition, this ap prints out the question in English first and then in Spanish or whatever language you choose. Even Chinese & Japanese characters. And, it saves the translated statements which you can recall for repeat or reference. Outstanding..Jake BluezVersion: 1.5.3

Only Thing it Needs is More Languages!Awesome free app that’s beautifully designed, simple to use, and features a few obscure offerings not present on Google Translate (such as European Portuguese and Cantonese). Even the paid version seems well worth it given the overall quality of the experience. The relatively small selection of languages (compared to Google) is its only downside for now, but I suspect it will gain more languages over time and I look forward to seeing where it goes..PatrickCarnahan5Version: 1.6.23

This app is amazing. Not perfect, but deserves 5 stars.Ok it isn’t 100% perfect, I speak Thai and Chinese so I tested my knowledge with it and I realized that little inconsistencies that can’t be fixed exist. For example in Thai there are words that change based on if a man or a woman is speaking. The app doesn’t know your gender so you speak as if you are a woman, but for what this app attempts to do it does very well. You can easily use this app to travel around and get information across at crucial times with ease. 5 stars well deserved..AzizthedaktariVersion: 1.4.5

It IS freeIt’s embarrassing how many people are leaving negative reviews because they can’t figure out how to close the subscription offer screen that pops up and just use the standard free version. THE STANDARD VERSION OF THE APP IS FREE PEOPLE. And it works awesome! I also read someone was having issues with it not recognizing any female voices but it worked just fine for me. As far as English to Japanese goes, its working great and I can’t wait to use it when I go to Japan to visit my grandmother! Thanks team, you’re doing a great job!.Errkaderrka6415Version: 1.5.1

Like it the more I use itThe difficulty of getting past the opening (intro-up grade screen) has passed, and I really like the speed of the program translation compared to Google Translate. One taps open the program and you speak right away and you receive a loud clear translation quickly. I think I will have to buy the upgrade for off line use. With Google Translate I cannot use it fast enough for real world use. Converse is amazingly useable. Someone like Apple or Microsoft will buy this program and makethese guys very rich..Vern@meVersion: 1.6.27

Wonderful app!I was a gestational carrier (surrogate) for a wonderful French speaking couple. I am American and spoke very little French upon our meeting. This app was so useful to help me text back and forth with my intended parents. When the pandemic hit and lockdown began, one of the parents came early and spent two months waiting for the arrival of their child. During this time, we used this app daily while in conversation with each other. It was a lifesaver..MeganloraineVersion: 1.6.12

Love the app, extremely usefulI contacted the developers through emails, with an issue i was having with the app while using it on my apple watch. I suggested a potential fix. They were very polite, and took it into consideration. During the very next update they addressed the issue and added the feature i had mentioned would be a great addition. -i work in different countries teaching Acrobatics to people of different cultures so its wonderful to have a conversation tool to use while teaching in a random country. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.Rick5676Version: 1.3.3

Incredible.I work in a hospital and we have a lot of diversity here. A lot of patients come in and we can’t understand them and we don’t always have translators here at night, so we’re usually just on our own until dayshift comes in. I found this app and tried to use it to speak with a woman last night who knew very little English-and voila, it worked! I was able to effectively and accurately speak with her throughout the entire shift..Rebecca SavVersion: 1.4.5

So simple, have fun conversingOne button operation speak in either language and it translates in the other. English to Spanish, Spanish to English, or whatever languages you set up in the app. Be sure to pronounce the words as properly as you can. It listens to your word pronunciation and spells out the words that may not be what you intended. But...it figures it out like autocorrect and guess the phrase closely matching that and often...bien hecho! If you don’t know what that means, then get the app and translate it!.@JhabbaVersion: 1.3.8

Great English to Japanese and Japanese to English translationA lot of apps mess up translation to or from Japanese. This one does a great job. I can only rate it based on the translation between those two languages because English and Japanese are the only two languages I know. So far in my testing it blows away google translate for this use case. Also it’s fast, and of course it also has the advantage of allowing you to speak and have your speech translated..Scottaw66Version: 1.4.2

ITranslate Converse Negative Reviews

Translations Not Accurate & Not FreeI am bilingual (English and Spanish)...so you are probably wondering why I downloaded the app. I downloaded it so that it could translate back and forth between English and German because my boyfriend is German and his parents and some of his friends don’t speak English. My German is also very limited so that doesn’t help either. I wanted to test out the app by speaking Spanish to see if the app would translate right into English and vise versa and I was shocked by if 2 of the most spoken languages in the world (aside from Chinese) aren’t translated well then I can’t trust it to translate between my English and German well, especially if it is a more complex language. I already deleted the app. I hope they make major improvements or make it free. I will have to stick to learning the language better on a different app I use and keep using the free translations apps (I am not going to pay $5 a month on this app if it doesn’t work well). If it was free then I’d consider it because it is just as bad as the free ones. Good luck developers (hire some more linguists). Oh and if anyone says this app works well, it is because they are not fluent and don’t know any better. Again, please hire linguists and learn conversational pieces to the languages (includes slang and you must hire linguists that were born and raised with the 2 languages you are trying to translate between to get it right)..CheetahonscrambleVersion: 1.3.8

Are they buying reviews?This application had great reviews. I tried it out. I speak a little bit of several languages. This thing worked like garbage. The voice recognition was terrible and kept thinking I was saying the wrong thing, especially when I was speaking English and it thought I was speaking another language and English at the same time. When it actually got what I said correct, it did translate correctly. However, it took multiple attempts to get it to recognize what I was saying. There is absolutely no way you can carry a conversation with this thing. You’d be much better off holding a physical translation dictionary between the languages than using this. I also tried the Apple Watch app. I don’t have the words to express how terrible it is, but I will try. First off, it doesn’t work. I tried to get it to translate the word “hello”. Over a minute later still nothing. I have an extremely good fiber optic Internet connection so not having enough bandwidth is not the issue. The problem is the terrible program. Deleted the app..WiredawgmanVersion: 1.6.9

Tricked into Paying/Must Use Perfect DictionI thought this was a free app but later found out I was charged. Also, this app does not do a good job of transcribing what you say if you do not use very clear diction. Siri picks up on less than perfect diction much better than this app, even though to the best of my understanding Siri cannot translate. I deleted this from my phone within a day for this reason. One month later I found out I had been charged a $5 fee for one months usage of the app. The impression I get is that the app developer has knowingly created the setup installation process in such a way that if you do not read ALL the fine print you will accidentally sign up for the pay subscription. Read every bit of fine print or you to may accidentally end up signing up for the pay subscription. This is a terrible business model. Make a good product and people may pay. Don’t trick them into paying you for a mediocre product that they deleted off their phone a month ago due to poor voice recognition..AC8192Version: 1.4.5

Careful!!! Tricks you into a subscriptionI don’t know if this is the new App Store System or the idea of the Developers. The App tricks you into a subscription just for downloading the App. If you’re not careful, you will be subscribed without any additional warnings. I noticed and immediately cancelled it. These practices should be stopped as everyone is entitled to transparency and understanding when he/she is subscribing to a service. Sorry for not rating the App itself but after this first impression I have lost trust and haven’t even tried it. —- Update: I now also received a response from the developer, saying that I don’t understand “how it works” and did not read the terms properly. I will leave it up to the reader to judge if users are supposed to read all terms and fine print for every downloaded app or if it is the developers job to ensure transparency (as 99% of developers already do) around when a user is charged or not. I am sure that the developer will continue to dig his heels and try to convince people that their payment terms as like anyone else. They are not. I have many apps and all the paid ones are very clear when it comes to request a payment. This app only uses a small Apple alert that can be easily missed. They know that and many buyers know that as well as you can see from the comment. My advice to the developer: when you’re in a hole, stop digging. Focus on fixing issues rather than on justifying your practices..Kimo123Version: 1.3.8

GREAT APP BUT FAILS MISERABLY WITH MANDARINI wanted to give this app not 5 but 10 stars, but it fails in the English Chinese Department. When speaking Chinese the English translation is FREQUENTLY NOT accurate and keeps giving different translations in English that are not relevant. VERY VERY much off in the Chinese to English area, the Chinese translation is not even remotely close to the English. Speak perfect Mandarin ten times and all ten times it gets it wrong! To the developer, you sent me an email asking me to send you samples of how your app doesn’t work but it’s not possible to send a sample of a voice recording since your app doesn’t let you record. You developed the app right? So this is something you should already know. The best thing I can suggest is that you find someone who speaks both Chinese and English and ask them to speak Chinese into the app and you will see that the English translation is wrong 99% of the time. From English to Chinese this doesn’t seem to be much of a problem. It’s mostly from Chinese to English..DakotaxuVersion: 1.5.1

Paid the annual fee, hasn’t worked for months.I have had this app for a few months now and it is not helpful at all. When I first bought the subscription for converse the app was great but it only lasted a week. Now every time I translate something (or should I say attempt to translate something) the app picks it up correctly but translates it what I said into jargon, a mix between unrelated words both in English and Spanish. I have been frequently checking the app to see if it is a glitch or bug issue that is needing to be updated but months have passed by and I am no longer patiently waiting. I paid a nice little price for this application to work properly and the one feature that this application is expected to perform is not working. I am very close to asking for my money back. Hoping that someone from the application support will review this comment and give me some feedback. Either 2 things will come from this. 1.) Someone from the application support will read this review and will help me. Or 2.) Someone attempting to buy this application will read this review and see that I have paid the annual fee and no one from the application cares that it works properly and has not even reached out to assist me. I am really frustrated with this application because I really need it to work. I never write reviews unless I feel really adamant about making sure that no one wastes money and so far after having this application for about 4 months, it has not worked. Very embarrassing when trying to communicate to someone and the application glitches constantly..Nicho SolomonVersion: 1.6.5

“X” to skip PRO version is in upper rightI’m giving the app two stars because in my limited use so far the app sometimes cannot determine which language is being spoken and seems to defaults to assuming that one speaker talks and then the other… Where is sometimes of course the same person will make several statements that need to be translated. Also, on my iPhone 12 mini the “X” you need to click on to skip the PRO version and try the free one is a tiny white X on a white background in the upper right hand corner so it was very hard to see -Given all the complaints in prior reviews about people accidentally signing up for the annual plan, the developers should make it easier to skip the “free” trial (which if you forget to cancel you get charged a lot of money for)..Snoop_zVersion: 1.6.24

Better use Google TranslateThis is the equivalent of a tourist trap. It is not accurate, nor free. The app is misleading, because it is advertised as free. The setup process is designed in such a way that they lead you to check the pricing plans. However, to do so you have to tap on a large orange “Continue” button. This leads you to think that you are just checking the pricing plans. However, just tapping on the button subscribes you to the monthly plan. The button is intentionally labeled “Continue”, instead of “Subscribe”. The developer has lots of similar comments, because several users have been mislead into a subscription they never wanted or asked for. These practices make the app store a bad place and should be stopped. Bad app, bad translations, misleading language, this is a plain tourist trap. You are much better off with Google Translate. Keep off from this useless tourist trap !.FhaidacherVersion: 1.4.5

Deceptive Developer. Insulting Developer Responses.Please remove the deceptive splash screen that fools users into a PRO version they do not want. Just read all these negative user reviews, it’s shocking. As expected, each negative review is accompanied with an insulting developer response that tries to push unwanted subscription blame on Apple. If you feel this app does not translate accurately, be ready for the insulting developer response essentially telling you to take the marshmallows out of your mouth and go back school to learn dictation and grammar. I can only hope that going forward people do not become victims of this kind of deceptive development practice of luring users into an Apple subscription with confusing buttons that cause accidental sign ups. Apple should clearly be looking into this. I, for one, will be deleting this app and promise to always shed light on shady and insulting developers like this..NuGymJonesVersion: 1.4.6

Expensive and unethicalNo. It doesn’t matter how well it works, I’m simply not paying a monthly subscription for what Google Translate does for free. What is it with developers? How many people are going to pay monthly for something like this? Put an ad at the bottom and you’ll get users. Further, the developer puts a sneaky splash screen upon first opening that can and has tricked people into paying for the pro version. Read the comments on the App Store. A totally unethical practice, don’t touch anything by this developer. Response to Developer: The implementation of the upgrade is clearly designed to trick people into accidentally subscribing to PRO. It is the first thing that appears and is misleading. It requires just a touch to try and remove the screen to get duped into signing up with Face ID. You have many complaints in these comments about this. It is unethical and sneaky..GerxtVersion: 1.3.6

Shady, Tricks You Into Paying!DO NOT GET THIS SHADY APP! It tricks you into purchasing a subscription. It has a huge CONTINUE button when you first download the app, and seemingly no other option. What they don’t tell you is that “CONTINUE” button actually subscribes you for their “PRO upgrade” which charges you money while you think it’s free. And the app developers keep commenting on these reviews meant to warn people before being tricked into their money, saying that there is a free option and they are not tricking people. These are blatant lies. If you don’t want to pay, you have to click a tiny “x” button in the top right corner instead of a huge “CONTINUE” button in the center of the screen. Do not listen to these developers, they are trying to scam you and the translator itself isn’t even that great. Get a better app that’s actually free to use with no shady, scummy tricks..Jules75653Version: 1.4.5

Does not work for KoreanTried for about 20 mins to get this to work with Korean, it’s very bad at recognizing Korean speech, and the translations you get from English to Korean are very poor. They do not read or sound like conversational Korean. Seems to have no context of sentence meaning, just a single word for word translation. Some ancient words are used because of this. Seems like a much more intuitive design would be for the top half of the screen to translate from A language to B language and the bottom half to translate from B to A. Could help a ton with language recognition. It also makes no sense that you can speak and some words recognize from a language and some from B language. Doesn’t seem to contextualize that if 8 out of 10 words are English then those last two shouldn’t be Korean..CornbreadAdosVersion: 1.6.38

Watch App does not work!!!I have latest Apple Watch but this app does not work. Gives an error message “Something went wrong, Please try again” every time. I have deleted the app and reloaded it many times. I have changed the settings to other languages. It makes no difference, the watch app does not work. It seems to work okay on my iPhone 13, however. Tried another person’s voice and same results and non-helpful error message on watch. My Apple Watch runs other translation apps, so not sure why this one fails to work! Amazed it got a positive Editor’s Choice Award since it is unusable as an Apple Watch app. I am glad I did not pay for a subscription fee yet for such a piece of trash that should have not been released if developers followed good QA practices..RjschnellVersion: 1.6.39

A lot of work, but bad results...I bought this app before my trip to Morocco. I had high hope, this could be helpful, but I was wrong! First, they took subscription for whole year, not month for month...etc. Their intentions were missleading. Anyway, when I tried app at Washington airport, it worked, but if you must repat sentence, you cannot do it in app itself, you have to repeat it literaly... But the worst thing about this app I hated the most: You cannot use it if you don't have lnternet conevtion...They should make available to dawnload certain module for language you looking for to be able to use without internet certain amount of time like other app do. Also app is very slow on any LTE network or so... What can I say: This app betrayed me when I needed it the most! If I could give - 5 stars, I would do it!.GinoTheGreatVersion: 1.4.1

Not user friendly and poor PronunciationOnly two stars because I like the idea of it and because it has many languages. Besides that, this app needs a lot of work. It doesn’t clarify how to use it at all and it’s not specific enough where it needs to be. Where you get your translated phrase, there is no copy from the screen option. Huge disappointment. The app pronounces even the simplest phrases wrong in every language besides English. For some reason it changes voices randomly while using the app to long. Worst part, I subscribed for this app and it still asks me every time I use it to pay for a subscription. Wish it was better cause I like the idea but, there are better and free options out that do the same thing..SscbgffvxcVersion: 1.5.1

Shady practice and off translatorFirst, there are definite issues with the voice recognition and the translations you will get. Very cool concept but very iffy results. That aside...yes the base version is free but you wouldn’t know that when you go into the app. The “Pro page” is clearly designed to make you think you HAVE to pay. This isn’t the only app with a very similar page trying to get you to pay. If the developer doesn’t want to appear being shady, then they need to work on that page to make it very clear you don’t actually have to pay. As it stands, it’s really hard to not think they are counting on people being tricked into paying for a subscription (which is actually a joke regardless...no reason pro couldn’t be a single payment). Shoddy and greedy. Sad combo..Peloquin1981Version: 1.4.2

Great but idea but.....The app works well and I would gladly pay a $20 flat fee but if you are only going to use it a few times a month at most, the yearly subscription model is just too much. You get 300 free translations a month but that can easily be used up in 1 decent conversation. It’s easier to use than google translate, but not $50 a year easier. I would rate this app 4 stars but I feel that the company is being a little shady and intentionally trying to trick customers into auto enrolling to their subscription service. While you will not be charged if you do not click the free trial button, they present you with a large screen with a large orange button to click to initiate the trial and unless you are paying close attention you can EASILY subscribe to their $5 a month plan while thinking that you simply did the initial setup of the app. If this is intentional, shame on this company and if it was unintentional, they should reverse the UI to display the subscription button less prominently and the continue without subscribing button more prominently. ***In regards to the developer response*** The fact that you have an in app purchase is not what I am saying is shady. What I do not like is the fact that the first time you open the app, the very first screen you see is a screen asking you to start a free trial of your premium service with a BIG orange continue button to start the trial and a SMALL little grey x to close without subscribing. An elderly person, a child, or anyone that is not particularly savvy with the way subscriptions work can subscribe in 1 click and a Touch ID/ Face ID confirmation and really not have any idea that they just subscribed. Judging by the fact that most of your negative reviews mention this and the fact that you have not taken steps to change this leads me to believe that you are hoping that people will not pay attention and accidentally subscribe..Pirate Rock RecordsVersion: 1.3.4

Don’t click “continue” if you want the free app. Instead click the X.The app seems to work well. But the set up process is very confusing and I believe deceptive. The developer needs to fix this to make it easier to understand how to choose between a paid and free app. During set up you are provided with a window that has a “continue” button that will automatically enroll you in a monthly subscription plan. There seems to be no other choice and there are no clear instructions on how to use the app for free other than the 7 day free period before the paid subscription begins. To use the free version of the app you have to dismiss the subscription window by clicking the “X” in the upper right corner of the window. Since this choice isn’t clearly delineated some people probably don’t know they have a choice or don’t fully understand what clicking the “continue” button means since it is the only obvious next step to set up the app. Perhaps this is why some reviewers believe they were scammed into subscribing. Perhaps they have a point..MyPistachioVersion: 1.4.2

Back to shady practicesWell, they went back to making new users agree to the 7-day free trial before using the app. Even though there’s a free version it won’t let you do that unless you agree to pay $70 after the trail ends. So you have to then opt out of the subscription before your get charged. This was a problem that many users complained about, so under pressure they changed this, but now it’s back to the way it was before. So there’s no excuse, it’s obvious that they just hope people forget that they’re being charged. As far as the app, its records your speech and, after processing, plays back translated speech. This is something that the Apple Translate app already does for free..ClipclopcomplainalotVersion: 1.6.27

Canceled as soon as I got back from ChinaIt looks like a well made app. I found it worthless in mainland China. It didn’t work for me at the hotel, restaurants or asking directions. It wouldn’t translate correctly. It kept saying unable to understand. At first I thought it was my phone connection and so I tried using it at the hotel lobby in Shanghai, China. Using the WiFi and it didn’t work at all. Money in the trash, I just deleted it and don’t forget to cancel the auto-subscribe. I read great reviews which led me to purchase the service. Now I think they may have been fake reviews. Look elsewhere. My own experience. Tried contacting the company to get a refund. I haven’t gotten response yet. I just got charged for a second month. And just canceled..Charlie:3:EVersion: 1.4.5

Just a Horrible app - technically and commerciallyI’ve tried this app a few times thinking newer versions would improve… it simply did not and still DOES NOT WORK! The voice recognition gets almost every attempt incorrect, it even thinks I’m speaking the wrong language many times! If the voice recognition works, by chance, the translation is typically wrong! Then the developers beat their chest, saying it’s “FREE”, but the limits on the number of translations are ridiculous and why in the world would anyone pay for a (non) “Pro-version” subscription, when it doesn’t actually work?!? AND NO, I DON”T WANT TO SEND THE DEVELOPER EXAMPLES OF APP MISTAKES TO HELP THEM! Helping them has been futile and the app isn’t worth my time or yours!.GregGriffithsVersion: 1.3.8

Good for a one way translatorI am a Russian speaker but probably not so good at speaking Russian. I speak fluently but at the level of a 5th grader and probably with an accent. The reason I give this a 2 star is as followed: 1. Good at translating from English to Russian. Not perfect but understandable. The reverse cannot he said about the translation from Russian to English. In fact sometimes I hold, as communicated, and speak Russian, and it sometimes thinks I spoke English and translates my Russian into Russian again. Now it could be my accent is too different or my vocabulary isn't too complex, but assuming I am in a country where I am not a native speaker, I don’t have faith I will get the proper translation..Whine?Version: 1.4.2

They Subscribe You on Their OwnMy boyfriend and I both downloaded this app so we could communicate with my cousin’s fiancée and her family. We were under the impression it was a basic, free version as nothing popped up saying there was a PRO version you could purchase monthly or annually. I just went into my subscriptions today and I was baffled to see an annual subscription to this app. I would never have downloaded it had I known this would happen and neither would my boyfriend. I think it’s extremely shady the app does this to customers and you have no idea. I want a refund for the annual subscription and so does my boyfriend..Shady- do not recommendVersion: 1.6.15

Does not workI have taken german for two years now and I wanted to see how well the app worked when I spoke German to translate to English. Not at all. I used my watch and phone and they didn’t work. My phone could translate from English to German (couple of messed up words) but it couldn’t do it in reverse. Instead my phone would give me an error. My watch however could not even translate anything not even english. All my stuff is up to date with everything and my phone and watch have nothing broken or anything. The app is no where near worth paying for and would recommend google translator instead for free like most people use..XBOX DIVA84Version: 1.6.10

The last picture is wrong (AppStore)It makes no sense to say "我说中国” since that literally means "I speak China". Assuming that you wanted to say "I speak Chinese", I recommend that you change it to "我说中文”, which is how you say it..JustLearningChineseVersion: 1.3.2

The deception is BSDownloaded it only to find out there is a fee after the trial period. Tired of not being told upfront. How about if I get to try it and then subscribe if I like it? Didn’t register it, didn’t use it and deleted it right away. Not interested in being deceived..Sword86Version: 1.4.2

Poorly AdvertisedI did not want a free subscription, and I do not give you permission to remove funds from my account after this “free trial”. I am unable to stop this process everywhere I’ve checked, and as per instructions you mentioned. Please correct this ASAP..AshnmoVersion: 1.4.2

Well, that was a waste of $89.59!I downloaded this when I had some Japanese visitors and used it for about five minutes. And then it was so difficult to try and get out of before the week trial was up. I intended to go back when I had time, but then the next thing I knew I had been billed.For $17.92 a minute,I should’ve found someone who was more technically savvy than me to get me out of this program.I won’t be renewing. Oh I guess I will be unless I can find somebody to help get me out!I hate feeling scammed..BjdinncVersion: 1.6.25

Complete garbage!Most of the time the iPhone app just repeats back what you just said in the same language. To add insult to injury the Apple Watch version is so quiet you can’t even hear it. How do people get away with selling such garbage on the App Store?.StupidAppPoliceVersion: 1.6.27

WASTE OF MONEY.I attempted to start a 7 day trial and the app automatically charged me for an entire year. The app was previously on my phone so I logged in to try to use it while in Vietnam. This app des NOT work in Vietnam at all so I had absolutely no use for it. I did not use the app for a single translation. Less than 24 hours after trying to start a 7 DAY TRIAL, the app decided to automatically renew for the full year. I had not even returned to an area in the county where I had service. If I had known the developers would completely circumvent the trial just to steal my money I would never have downloaded this app. BUYER BEWARE..CodestarrVersion: 1.6.1

Faithful userI would give five stars any other day until you asked me today and took me from being in the middle of work with it and just shut my app down and none of that is saved. So screw your guys actually, but you have a great app..Mmmmanzhxbs skiebrvfhxVersion: 1.5.1

Not intuitive at allI was trying to test it, and had to go back in the settings, but then could not find back the area to make a live translation! I could imagine that there are very powerful algorithms behind this app, but the design is ridiculous. -Update: and yes, indeed, I swiped the screen in all directions possible and still could not get back to the translator..S20gagVersion: 1.4.6

Worst translation appThis has got to be THE WORST translation app or software that I have ever come across. I like to test these out and see if they can be useful for friends/family that don’t speak more than 1 language. The Japanese translation is HORRIBLE! The speech is incredibly rude at many points. It doesn’t even use standard Japanese. Honestly, we got a kick out of how BAD it was. So bad to the point that it was funny. 1 star because it actually worked on 1/10 sentences.
