ITranslate Converse for Negative User Reviews
✓ Not useful because it doesn't have Thai languageLimited in language.Version: 1.6.24
✓ It’s okIt’s ok but when I downloaded it for my Apple Watch it didn’t appear on there.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Poor translationSentences do not translate properly.Version: 1.3.2
✓ A little disappointingI was delighted at first with the Polish but it has stopped working now and just says it cannot connect to the internet. I will need to cancel the subscription unless I get feedback on what I am doing wrong.Version: 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..Version: 1.6.24
✓ I like the idea of the app butYour translation from mandarin Taiwan into English is pretty terrible but it gives me and my wife a good laugh English to Taiwan is pretty good people can’t really use this app for Conversation Maybe simple one word answers.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Subscription onlySaw this from the editors choice article so installed it but it only works if you have a subscription. Deleted without trying. This sort of app is useful to have on standby in case you need it but costs almost as much as something you would use all the time such as Netflix..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Didn’t workI’ve always wanted a good translator, unfortunately I’m disappointed today. It’s not accurate for English and mandarin, which google assistant and Siri can figure out my speaking quiet easily..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Con verseToo easy to subscribe to an expensive plan. Not so easy to unsubscribe..Version: 1.3.8
✓ I don’t see the pointGoogle translate is add free and doesn't cost a cent. I don't see why you would use this app as it is no more accurate than Google translate..Version: 1.6.23
✓ How did it make on the recommended list?This app is reminiscent of the translations during the best times of Babelfish. Anything more complex than a three word sentence is too difficult to translate. MVP gone wrong..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Unreliable Translator and Poor SupportToo much money has been spent on a classy user interface and not enough on the translation engine. It is very erratic and unreliable. You can repeat the same question 4 times in English and it will translate 3 quite well into Mandarin and the 4th time it will speak complete rubbish in English as it has somehow assumed I was speaking Chinese (which I can’t). I have fought with it for over 2 months to try and get it to work reliably without success. I am native English speaking and my wife is native Chinese. I have tried it on a selection of both our friends and it is just too unreliable. I don’t mean just slightly off or missing a word, it sometimes just comes back with complete senseless rubbish. It’s funny when your with friends but not so funny when you are in a serious business meeting. I have contacted support to help trouble shoot the issues together but they had no interest to work through it. They just said that it couldn’t understand my speech. It also can’t understand my wife and several of our friends. I then asked about a refund and I was instructed to talk to Apple. But seems Apple won’t provide refunds for subscriptions. So looks like I have been well and truely stitched up. Siri does a much better job at translating and does it for free..Version: 1.4.5
✓ WHAT A SCAMPLZ if Ty you paid for the pro version Dont forget to remove the subscription. App doesnt work and lots.of free app are way better !!!.Version: 1.3.6
✓ 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 !.Version: 1.4.5
✓ Trying to unsubscribeThere’s no option to unsubscribe and when you download it says it’s free but it’s not, it’s $6 bucks a month?? How do you cancel it?.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Automatic PayAs soon as I opened the app a seven day trial came up. The person next to me accidentally pressed the trial and all of a sudden I’m going to need to pay in 8 days! This is appalling! I think the app should not open like this. The translations are often incorrect and don’t make sense. I would’ve given it 2 but seeing as it can’t even do its job properly it deserves a 1. 0 stars would’ve been more appropriate..Version: 1.3.7
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.5
✓ Do not downloadThis app automatically enters you into a pro subscription which charged me monthly £4.99 for several months before I noticed. It is very discreet and unacceptable that this is allows to happen. I thought I would try and warn anyone before purchasing. Please steer clear!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.5
✓ Good idea BUT needs improving...I am trilingual, I speak Spanish, Swedish and English fluently so I thought it would be fun to test this app by translating within those languages to see how accurate the translations where and ended up quite disappointed. The translations where not accurate some not even close and also ran into some bugs where you need to exit the main translating screen to get the button function to work, also for example when I tried translating from Spanish to Swedish I would speak in Spanish it would recognise what I said in Swedish and obviously end up translating not even close to what I said into Spanish. It could be used in basic day to day translations but personally I'd not recommend to use it as a professional tool..Version: 1.4.5
✓ TerribleOne of the worst apps I’ve ever made the mistake of downloading..Version: 1.4.1
✓ 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..Version: 1.3.2
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.27
✓ Doesn’t work“The internet connection appears to be offline” keeps popping up when I try to use the “tap & hold to translate” button. My phone is well connected to the internet and I also tried with 4G but still doesn’t work..Version: 1.6.27
✓ Bizarre Behaviour ProblemsThere is massive potential here. The speed and accuracy of English to Slovak translations I tested are amazing. The same goes for English and German, tested in both directions. No matter whether you begin with language A or language B, the app seems to autodetect what language is being spoken and translate the other way. However when you speak in Slovak, and translate to English, no matter in what order you set the translation languages, it randomly answers in Slovak with a different phrase. Literally none of the same phrases. I tried this with a native speaker for both languages. User error? Or known bug? Either way this is really incredible. Google Translate is over..Version: 1.4.5
✓ FinickyVery finicky. Need to speak very precisely for it to know what you said. When I speak French it often translates to French instead of English..Version: 1.4
✓ 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..Version: 1.5.1
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.6
✓ Would be good if it had the language I needThis is a very polished app looks the business and works well with the languages that you can choose from but unfortunately does not have Croatian, it would have been nice to have seen that before I subscribed. But hey at least it was a free trial.Version: 1.6.27
✓ Unable to translate from English to ThaiGreat app, if it works well. I speak a few languages (basic) but required translation from English to Thai. Other languages seem reasonable but every time I try to translate English to Thai, it just translate English to English. Please fix this and I will try again in the next version n grade it accordingly. Thanks..Version: 1.6.24
✓ Good idea, not so good executionThe developers claim you don’t have to feel like you’re interacting with the phone, but I spent most of the time fighting with the interface. If it wants to interrupt me to tell me “I didn’t quite get that”, while I’m still holding the button and talking, then they have a bit of work to do. Maybe next time..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Pay for life software!!!!!! No goGreat software until you realise you will be paying for the rest of your life $5 a month. Stopped using Adobe because of this and am not going to be pay any part of my pension for this. iTranslate Team it’s no good being Sorry you need to do something about it! One of pricing and when you do an update charge for that! I will Never pay for subscription software. The Developer keeps saying you only have to pay when going Pro. Well that’s great - YOU GET 7 DAYS FREE!.Version: 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..Version: 1.4.2
✓ 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?.Version: 1.6.27
✓ Missing languageIt’s a great app and has come in handy but it is missing Croatian, and since I’m half Croatian I’m over there a lot but still can’t talk to people. If they add Croatian I would raise my rating.Version: 1.4.5
✓ How can this app be the developers choice?* After leaving a negative review, I received an email from the developer asking for specific examples and screengrabs which I provided. Instead of accepting that the app can be improved, I received a condescending email asking me to update my iOS and modify my cadence. Too bad I can’t change my 1 star to a negative star. Original review below: I had expectations about this app but it didn’t deliver at all when translating from English to Chinese. The app is painfully slow and, worse, inaccurate. I wish I could upload screengrabs of seriously botched translations. Don’t waste your time or money on this app..Version: 1.5.3
✓ I can not find other languagesIt's supposed to have all languages but i just see a few languages..... What Tagalog language is not on this app. It's language and translation app it's supposed to have all languages...... Im not gonna pay money for a app that doesn't come in all languages..... What if i travel to other places and you have only a few languages to translate...... How can i understand other cultures.....Version: 1.3.8
✓ Interesting early attempt but still a long way to goInteresting concept, but still a long way to go before it is of any actual practical use. The speech recognition does not always work, misinterpreting words and not recognising when a person is asking a question (especially if it is translating from foreign languages (Italian and Spanish) to English). Even when translating from English to other languages the translation does not make sense at times and often it is translated using the wrong form for addressing people, making you sound extremely rude. UPDATE: The developer response blaming the user for the failure in their speech recognition algorithms just shows how poorly they understand user experience. Asking the users to change the way they speak is just bad design. I have no problems with Siri or Google Assistant, they understand me perfectly in any language..Version: 1.3.8
✓ Embarrassing for what they chargeThe English-Arabic translations are a joke. Also, the pronunciations are retarded - just try asking “How old are you?” And you’ll see what I mean. Instant delete and 1-star for wasting time (Apple highlighted this app on their front-page, I’m just doing my bit for people who might use this one day for something serious only to be embarrassed).Version: 1.4.5
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.15
✓ Unclear RealityIt doesn’t say when loading the app that there is in app purchases and you have a trial period after which need to subscribe and pay. It should mention that at the home page before we are fooled into downloading it.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Waste time waste moneyBe careful need to cancel subscription before 1 month free period ends! For the translate, it can only translate simple words, it won’t translate sentence correctly. The free translator on web even do better..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Does NOT work on Apple Watch!It listens, then says “translating” for a minute or two, and the. Says “something went wrong, please try again”. Do NOT bother with this app is you want it to work on your Apple Watch..Version: 1.6.9
✓ It’s don’t have Parsi(Persian)Very bad.Version: 1.3.6
✓ Very interestingLots of potential but still has some ways to go. Localization is hit or miss but overall works ok.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Wasted money?Initially I thought this app was well designed and very functional. However the mire I use it the more difficult it becomes to live with Oftentimes the app doesn’t appear to hear me speak, other times it struggles to understand short simple sentences and sometimes it spews out complete garbage Unfortunately I paid the yearly subscription but I will not renew it. Such a shame I thought it had huge potential for me.Version: 1.6.17
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.25
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Never buy becauseI hate subscriptions Please offer a LIFETIME price.Version: 1.6.27
✓ Good, but requires de-buggingTapping doesn’t always work on my iPhone 8. I often have to restart the app. The word order really matters for Greek-English and Russian-English, if it’s not conventional the app doesn’t translate correctly..Version: 1.4.5
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Hardly worksDoesn’t recognise your speech, translates to something completely wrong and takes a long time to load. It is a very scruffy app that needs more cleaning up with software, intelligence and bugs..Version: 1.4.5
✓ Really Buggy!This app gets pretty high reviews. Surprising. My experience has been mixed, but mainly negative. The Apple Watch app works pretty well and has done some nice simple translations from English to French. But it only works about half the time. The iPhone version is worse and works about 10% of the time. And the support team doesn’t seem to have much interest in addressing the issues. Clearly I have canceled the monthly sub and will likely delete from my devices. Google is actually better and multi platform. Hope that your experience is better..Version: 1.6.24
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Rubbish! Useless AppThe most useless App !.Version: 1.4.5
✓ English to Thai Thai to EnglishUseless for Thai. So far no app comes close to getting it half right. Not enough of a proper database. Google translate is also poor and I suspect this app is using Google..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Needs workTested with English & Japanese: - pronunciation in Japanese was poor - translation of common Japanese words (or a simple common phrase of 2/3 words) is inconsistent General app issues/comments: - often the app was non-responsive when trying to hold & tap to translate a new word/phrase. Could slide screen up/down to access Settings but tap & hold not recognised. Occasionally had to restart the app to get it working - the original phrase you say displays very briefly then disappears from the screen after the translation so you are not sure if it properly interpreted what you said. Sometimes it displays the incorrect words at first in the source language but then it correctly translates & displays in the target language but you don't know if it is translating the correct phrase or not..Version: 1.4.5
✓ Good app those concerned about price READI don’t know how accurate this actually is because I only speak English but as I’m on holiday in Cuba I thought I would download it for the Spanish translations I realised it’s expensive but offers a free week trial so as YOU SHOULD ( for everyone complaining about charges) I took the free trial then went straight to my Apple ID subscriptions to cancel it to make sure I’d never actually have to pay the £55 , furthermore it’s helped me out massively whilst I’m away as it offers an offline mode Aswell as the translation being very fast the only down point is the price if you needed to use it frequently and the fact people seem to say it’s not to accurate but as I said I wouldn’t know , apart from that it’s a great app offering a good service which is much faster and easier to use than google translate where you have to mess about switching languages every time you have a conversation 🤷♂️👍.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Don’t Download it!Don’t trust to this app as they’re using your device immediately for the premium version which is not free!!!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great idea but...This would be fantastic if it worked, but although it captured and transcribed most of what was said correctly (if you pointed the phone to your mouth), the translation from anything other than English was just a messy word-for-word direct translation with no idea of context or sentence structure. I tried Cantonese to English, Korean to English, English to Cantonese. The last one was passable (for the few simple sentences I tried), but it’s no use getting others to understand you when you can’t understand them in return. I would be fine trying to use this app (and, I guess, train it in the process) if this was a free app while the dev team gets this app polished up, but to be asking for a monthly subscription for something that doesn’t work? I’m afraid not..Version: 1.3.6
✓ Poor design, unusableI regularly use dictation tools on my phone with ease, however this app failed to reliably capture my voice, even when I tried to talk very slowly and deliberately - which kind of defeats the purpose anyway. It also consistently confused which language I was talking. At present, this app is useless. Not recommended at all. EDIT after dev response: No, I don’t work for you, I already described my issues, so why would I do further product testing for you for free? Try paying professionals if you want a good app..Version: 1.6.23
✓ Can’t Identify the Language Correctly / Unstable Internet ConnectionI tried to use this app for Chinese-English, Japanese-English, French-English, and German English. Apparently, the app cannot correctly identify which language the speaker is using and treat Japanese/French/German/Chinese speaking as English which is very unhelpful. The app needs a lot more work to compete with Google Translate, which is more accurate in terms of conversation and source language identification..Version: 1.6.8
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.27
✓ Voice recognition is pretty badIt’s a great app, easy to use. Excellent project that requires a lot of work at this stage. Voice recognition is shocking. It gets it right every now and again but it gets it completely wrong for the rest of attempts. Not even close to follow. I’m bilingual so I’m able to test it both ways. I want this app and happy to pay for it but it’s not at the useful stage yet. Good luck!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Confused easily. No profanity filter.I was using this to communicate with my young nieces (11 and 7 years old). First of all, it frequently misheard and reads out an incorrect translation. In one session, it came out with some very rude mis-translations producing looks of horror from others present. But the mistranslations are just annoying as you have to tap it to shut it up and try again. The children would then tap-hold to try again and the translations would overlap. In many situations you can see it seem to finish one translation on screen but then switch to the next but not the correct language. Eg. The Russian speaker would speak Russian but Converse thinks it was English and translate it to gibberish Russian. After a while we just switched to the Google app which is free, has a profanity filter and you can screen output before it’s read. Works offline too. Edit: dropping to one star as the developer response was defensive rather than attempt to tackle the issues..Version: 1.3.2
✓ In appropriate subscription modelRead the critical reviews. Developer’s responses are just defensive. Developer is right, you may exit the trial screen. a big HOWEVER though: there is a LARGE orange button that says “Continue” with a link that says price plans. This is super misleading as the continue button enters you into the pro version and there is not very much of an indicator there after that you have. BE WARNED... all you need to do is ignore the large orange continue button and click on the not even remotely obvious, dark grey, x in the top of the screen (screen is black btw). Other than this... does a good job. Unfortunate that the devs have to be so sneaking and defensive..Version: 1.4.5
✓ 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)..Version: 1.3.8
✓ A great concept, but currently doesn’t workMy wife and I speak four languages between us, doesn’t matter if we test in English, Polish, Spanish or French it struggles to translate at all well, often confusing the language we are speaking for the language we want it translated to. Reversing the languages is impractical for a conversation, but even by doing so the result is no better, often just trying to give us a gibberish response. I speak to my iphone (currently iPhonex) regularly in English, French and Polish, only rarely do I have to correct my phone’s text interpretation of what I am saying, I am sure this is also correct for my wife who speaks to her iPhone in Polish, English and Spanish. I am not sure why I suddenly have to alter my cadence and pronunciation to use this app so much. How would that even work in the real world explaining to someone of no common language that they are speaking their own language wrong and that my phone does not understand? It’s just too hard to use at the moment. Would cheerfully buy and pay for if it actually worked, but at the moment we can only score this one as a fail. Sorry..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Don’t subscribe!! You’re charged for a yearNo matter which option you use. The developer has been consistently unwilling to accept that this app is awful. Stating that the inaccurate french translation was down to accents. I’m in France! My French friends are speaking into this useless app, all reading the same paragraph. The paragraph is about the requirements of documentation translation. So far we’ve had the veterinary care can’t compete?? Going out to eat and some crazy talk where it asked if we were translating from Japanese. It’s funny apart from the fact that I’m paying for this absolute b0ll0cks! I selected the month to month offer but was charged for a whole year. The developer has refused to refund me the difference. This is because no one would pay for a second month. So they rob you then tell you if the app doesn’t work it’s your fault!! Don’t use this app or any others by him. It’s just not worth it..Version: 1.6.5
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.2
✓ 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!.Version: 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..Version: 1.6.9
✓ Good app, needs improvementGreat for very basic communication but not recommend for intense peace negotiations, nuclear disarmament agreement or hostage negotiations. However I’m sure it will be a great app in a few iterations from now. Needs support for Vietnamese..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Unbelievably Awful!This is unbelievably terrible. The translations that it provides are so peculiar, nonsensical and nothing like what you have actually said that it made me laugh. I really would not advise you to download this app as it is a waste of time and you have the hassle of having to cancel the subscription or you will end up paying. My advice is to use the free and accurate Google Translate service..Version: 1.3.8
✓ App doesn't deleteI tried this app but I wasn't satisfied with the translations. I found Google Translate much better, so I decided to delete the app. Then after checking in the system on my phone, the app is still there and still has permission to my microphone and camera. Not good for an app which had been deleted! This has been flagged with Apple..Version: 1.6.27
✓ Scam scam no access to disable subscriptionThis apps is a scam, a complete trash. Please don’t subscribe to it. After purchase, it’s mandatory activation is done by email but then prevents you from loving on with the ‘continue’ button. It gonna stay like that until subscription runs out and starts to charge your account. It provides no access to user accounts to disable the subscription... weird!!!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Can’t get it to workTAp and hold keeps bringing up a list f languages to choose from. I gave up trying..Version: 1.6.24
✓ Apple Watch Series 3Tried using this app on my Apple Watch doesn’t seem to work.Version: 1.3.2
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.2
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.5
✓ HorrifficI don’t know if it’s because I only took the free version, no trial no subscription just hit the nearly-invisible-to-the-background x button and carried on…. But the translations are illegible. 90% of the time it doesn’t even understand my speech I put let alone how to translate it. I was hoping to use it to practice my Spanish speaking, as i am learning Spanish, so when it picked up a different word from the voice input I hoped it would corre CT me or tell me I’m doing well enough. But even speaking English it doesn’t understand a word I am saying and basic phrases just get translated to gibberish. Maybe the free trial or paid versions are better but the basic version is unusable. Do not recommend.Version: 1.6.24
✓ Just learn a few words in the new languageIf someone used this at me, I would launch their phone out of a window. If you’re visiting a foreign country, the least you can do is learn some phrases before visiting or at least try to speak the language, it’s called etiquette. The art of conversation shouldn’t rely off Orwellian technology. Don’t be so lazy, learn the language for yourself!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Tagalog please!!Great app, but i could really use tagalog for an upcoming trip to the philipines. Any chance of including it in an future update?.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not good enoughIt’s good but not good enough because when I try to translate English to Arabic (or Arabic to English) because I’m a Muslim so I know what to say but when i try to say it. It just went all over the place so from that part I say it’s kind of buggy. But I’m just censored about when all the languages are not there because my mum speaks a language that there is not the app so I say about this app is just to hear us properly and add more language. By the way my mum speaks Urdu for those who don’t know what language my mum speaks. So it need some improving. That’s All..Version: 1.6.24
✓ Potential ruined by speed and accuracyThe speed of the entire translation process is too slow to be practical and the actual translation given is inaccurate. Multiple times I have encountered an issue whereas the app fails to recognise the language I bring spoken despite speaking very clearly and enunciating..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Works ok.... ButTakes a little getting to know. Most disappointing element is that the Apple Watch function doesn’t work at all..Version: 1.3.2
✓ BadNot support others language 👎👎👎.Version: 1.4.5
✓ 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..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Lost meSorry, Apple keeps constantly flogging the developers face in the App Store - I wasn’t interested in what the photo was advertising the first, fifth and the 130th time, so kept ignoring it - the face re-appeared again today, so I decided to look more into this thing to see what it was all about. So, I go ahead and download the app. Once installed I am asked to start a 7 day trial then get auto charged $99 per annum to keep using this thing - PAALEEEASE. Utter waste of my time - sorry Dev, I never got to actually use your product cos I was too annoyed. All the best..Version: 1.6.13
✓ Doesn’t auto detect and swap languagesBasically an old style of translation app as it doesn’t auto detect and swap languages. My fiancé is Thai and for us to translate we have to keep opening the language settings and swap from Thai to English for her the change to English to Thai for me to talk. Very annoying as every other app auto detects and translates. Could have been a good app otherwise..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Needs work...I downloaded this and tried a couple simple French/English phrases (I am bilingual). This app did not even come close to working for me..Version: 1.0
✓ 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..Version: 1.3.8
✓ 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..Version: 1.3.6
✓ 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..Version: 1.4.6
✓ 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..Version: 1.5.1
✓ “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)..Version: 1.6.24
✓ Useless.This app gets every sentence wrong. It doesn’t even come close. Half the time it even “translates” back into the same language. Very funny, but only for a while. Useless. Delete..Version: 1.6.18
✓ Another pay to translate crapThis is stupid. Why pay for this app monthly when Google Translate app exists, is free and works better..Version: 1.6.24
✓ 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!.Version: 1.4.1
✓ 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. ETA: Seeing the creator comment (on another review) that native speakers were involved makes me very suspicious..Version: 1.3.8
✓ How do I unsubscribeI thought I was opening the app instead it made me subscribe! Now I want to unsubscribe thanks.Version: 1.4.5
✓ App doesn’t not work, no supportI bought this to translate Chinese to English and vice versa. New iPhone, latest IOS. Tried 3 different people’s voice in English and Chinese. Did not recognize anything and kept getting error message. I spent 54 pounds on this app. I hope I can get a refund from Apple as the app developer did not reply to my emails..Version: 1.6.27
✓ Translator from hellMy mum and I tried this app out as she speaks Japanese and i am currently learning korean, when we tried to speak into the app I rarely picked up that we were saying anything and when it did 90% of the time it got whatever we were trying to say terribly wrong, after I deleted the because it wasn’t working I was still charged after the free trial despite not having used the app for more than a day..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not accurate enoughTranslation from Japanese to English is not very reliable. The voice recognition accurately transcribes the spoken Japanese word into Japanese script, including kanji, however the translation into English is not very reliable. I have only played around with it for a short time it appears no more accurate than google translate, therefore I cannot justify the cost of the full app. I may have a look at this app in the future. However I guess by the time this app has improved google translate will have also improved でもありがとうございます。がんばてください。.Version: 1.4.5
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.27
✓ 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..Version: 1.6.10
✓ How do you switch languagesUnfortunately this is not clear and having to use google translate as well.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Auto Enroll!!! DO NOT DOWNLOADThis is terrible and I would like a refund I deleted the app shortly after downloading it. Freaking bought a ringtone put my payment info in. Then ring Ding dong freaking this app charges me for a subscription that I never agreed to. Ohhhh it’s in your terms and conditions for the free trail blah blah blah that’s dirty bros you know what y’all are doing is wrong and it needs to stop. What comes around goes around. I will change this review the moment this company does the right thing. Which will be never. And spare me the we are sorry to hear that you’re unhappy but if you have an issue tuff luck and good luck getting your money back from apple cause we ain’t gonna pay you..Version: 1.3.2
