Omni Translator for Negative User Reviews
✓ Written onlyThis app will translate written text only - and sometimes into the translated language alphabet!! If you want to learn how to say something (either hearing it or seeing the Roman/English alphabet phonetic spelling) then this is NOT the app to be using..Version: 0
✓ Well something changed.This app use to work now, it translates but won't allow me to copy it to clipboard ...Version: 1.6.5
✓ NEED INTERNETThe bad thing about this app is that you need to have wifi for ot if there was downloadable langue packs for none wifi uses that would be great like a pack for french to english.Version: 0
✓ Keyboard needs to change languageWorks great translting English to Russian. When going from Russian though the keyboard comes up in English which is wrong. The keyboard needs to be in the source language..Version: 0
✓ Privacy IssueI have also had the same issue with this app like the previous review showing that this app can look me up using my Apple ID and get my first and last name. I would have no issue but since I then deleted the app it shouldn’t be still showing that they continue to have access to looking me up by Apple ID. This is a little unsettling and makes me wonder why no one can remove this. If the developer gave a hoot he would respond to this but nothing..Version: 1.9.15
✓ DisappointedPop up 8 times to pay for upgrade Poor translations defined as not correct at all It used to be better.Version: 1.10
✓ Do longer useful to meI find it annoying to look at now. Deleting it and searching for a replacement..Version: 1.9.13
✓ Poor translator, like the othersReally quite poor at translating, granted it does translate simple words and had a lot of languages on offer (some in which Im assuming may not translate very well). I tried translating to Spanish, French, and English, the translations only got some words right, and some of the words I tried to translate were wrong. Get a dictionary instead!.Version: 0
✓ Good but uselessComputer translators are useless in the sense that they can never make a accurate translation because language is just to complicate for a simple machine. I checked the translation for some sentences and found the giving result wasn't accurate. Some were close. The point is if you wanna make a fool of yourself this thing will help. Learn the language or don't speak..Version: 0
✓ No longer worksSince ios 11 this does not work. it crashes when opening. i’ve deleted and reinstalled and same issue persists. they need to continue support.Version: 1.9.12
✓ One little thingWhy google doesnt support or better say restrict Persian (Farsi) for traslation im really upset about it.Version: 0
✓ This app has the ability to be much more...This application is only one-sided. I studied the Japanese language for almost a year and slow lost the speech part over time. In stuying the lang; I was never able to grasp the (wriring/reading) Japanese charactors and was hoping that the translator would "at least" have the option to listen by interactive voice. If someone is only looking for the writing pattern this would be great. But for now it doesn't serve any purpose for me. I "definitely" check back in a few months to see if you have update to/included voice interaction.Version: 1.4.3
✓ It's usefulI think it's useful. Let's say if you go overseas it would help a lot, rather than take a language book with you..Version: 0
✓ Arrogant developer - don't buy.Paid $5 to remove annoying adds. Completely overpriced for, what is quite simply, an interface to Google Translate. Arrogant developer didn't even respond to the simple request of having a "favorites" button. Spend your money with a developer that gives a sh#t!.Version: 1.6.5
✓ OkThis app is good cuz it gives u basic translations but there are a couple of problems like: You can't always read japanese and Chinese characters so you should have in brackets the English alphabet so it is much easier to pronounce. Some translations are incorrect. Also please have in the translations, how to pronounce the words in the next update, then it would be heaps better!!!.Version: 0
✓ Don3 stars only because although the common languages translate well, it's a little disengenuous with others.. I'll explain: I thought I'd impress a friend in Japan by sending him an email in his native tongue. Unfortunately, the text in the email translated as something along the lines of "Your friend, Blues Brother, has used Free Translator to send you this message." Very little of what I had intended to write was translated..Version: 0
✓ Don't rely on the translationsI have used this app with some of my family who are german and the translations have been wrong and incomplete - so if you are using it for homework you might need just to double check it. Will be a very useful app abroad though if you get stuck..Version: 0
✓ Wonderful application but needs a little improvementI really like it, but it has 2 problems that I know of: 1. It requires internet WiFi connectivity, which makes it very expensive to use abroad 2. Arabic text is incomprehensible (but I suppose that is an apple problem as apple software can`t support Arabic text) 3. Translation is literal, so it is somewhat different from standard spoken language (This is clear in French and Italian translations).Version: 0
✓ French is wrongI speak fluent french and english so i did some test. Translator is completely wrong 4 out of 5 english words i translated. Simple words like house..Version: 1.2.1
✓ What Happened?!I love this app but ever since I upgraded it for bug fixes I'm having second thoughts. This used to have a swap button to swap the languages and a play button to hear the translation; FREE! Now you have to manually I back and change the languages and pay $1.99 to hear it..Version: 1.6.3
✓ ...I typed in もう寝る時間かな？ and it said "I go to bed an hour?" Whatever it really says it isn't that.Version: 1.4.3
✓ Not quite there....First off, it's a good idea... No, a great idea. I like it how there are so many languages (however, it doesn't show how to say it, so that's one star taken away). And, I tried it out with some of my German and Russian friends, and they said that it's not how you say it (it's the correct translation of the word, but if you take it out of context, it becames a completely diffrent word, so that's another two stars away). However, I don't know if it'sthe App. or if it's the Google Translator software. Either way, I'll give it 5 stars for effort, then take away three stars for the problem with the translator programing. Maybe with a really good update....Version: 0
✓ Spanish free translatorIf I could give 0 stars I would- just bought the upgrade - does not work- how do I get my money back?.Version: 1.6.4
✓ Add georgianIt would be better if georgian was added.Version: 0
✓ Unecessary front end to Google serviceGoogle Translate can be accessed direct with an iPhone friendly website that I find easier to use with all supported languages, my last review with a Url never turned up so expect it is not allowed, so you will have to find yourself. Once you find it just save to your homescreen..Version: 0
✓ Does not workJust upgrade to the playback option for $1.99 , doesn't work . I want my money back.Version: 1.6.1
✓ UPDATED TRANSLATORThe updated version of this translator is completely useless, you can no longer switch from source language and target language on the translating page. It is necessary to be able to switch from one to the other, so you can check that you have the correct translation. As whoever has done the translation for English to French/French to English isn't very good at either language. You now have to switch back to the source and target pages, and hope that your translating is still there when you get back. IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE THE OLD VERSION BACK PLEASE, AND COMPLETELY SCRAP THIS NEW ONE AS IT'S RUBBISH. Again you've updated this translator, and made it worse if that's possible. You can no longer switch back and forth (English - Italian, then back, Italian - English), from the translation page, or clear the page. Why have you bothered with this update, updates are supposed to be improvements...WHY DID YOU SWITCH IT AGAIN?.Version: 1.5
✓ Doesnt say the right thingsThis app is terrible. some of the translated sentences dont make sence! on the preview screen it says the best cheese is meat!!!! and it also needs wifi not convenient when your in old villages!.Version: 0
✓ Free Translator A very handy little tool, easy to use and good for schoolwork, going to another country and tonnes of other stuff too. Doesn't always translate words correctly and only comes up with one translation for words that could be used in a variety of contexts..Version: 1.4.3
✓ No voice optionI purchased the audio option and there is no option to restore purchases. I'm so angry. Grrrrr.Version: 1.9.12
✓ Will do for now!!All these different translators seems to be wired to the same database engine, presumeably google translator. Come on google, pull your finger out and let's have more languages. There is 20k years of human language history to unravel. Need Gujarati at least. 3 stars because you can cut, Paste and send via email (and impress your girlfriend)..Version: 0
✓ NononononoNo.Version: 1.6.4
✓ CoDesign free translatorLatest update has turned a 4 star app which I loved and used all the time into a clunky and cumbersome to use 1 star app, having removed the button allowing easy switching/reversing between languages for quickly checking translations and experimenting with different nuances, and also removing the handy instant 'clear' button Previously this app was close to perfect, quick and easily to use and with all the features one needed working in harmony and exactly in the manner one would wish if designing the beau idéal oneself... (Translate/switch, copy/paste, clear, etc...) ...the latest changes have however rendered it slow and clunky and latest update has done nothing to fix these problems; I'm now using another app instead....Version: 1.6
✓ MehIts compleetly wrong in french...Version: 1.6.4
✓ Very useful, but could do with a few changes.This application is useful. But I have two problems with it: 1.You can't translate scentences from english to english (that means getting an explanation what the word acctualy means) 2. Complicated words are sometimes not even in the dictionary.( Not many though, can't think of any at the moment) Other than these two points this app is very good and extremely helpful. And as mentioned earlier there aren't alot of words that aren't in the dictionairy..Version: 0
✓ Added needNeed to add capo verde creole.Version: 1.9.12
✓ No French on Ad Free VersionSeems strange having paid for the Ad Free Version the French Language has been removed..Version: 1.9.12
✓ TERRIBLE UPDATE!I was relatively impressed before. You could switch between the two languages (I only speak English and Italian so I only really used for translating between these) which made it quick and easy. Now it's much less user friendly and there are more ads! So glad other people feel this way. I don't normally write reviews but felt I should let everyone know how terrible this has become! Will be deleting for sure if this is not put right soon. Very unhappy as, although it's not the best translator, it worked very decently and I used it a lot. Now I don't use it, I just log onto Google translator instead seeing as you have to be connected to the Internet to use this app anyway..Version: 0
✓ Doesn’t work as advertisedPaid for voice output but doesn’t produce verbal output.Version: 1.10
✓ DeascentI tried to find the verb "germer" which is in French, but it said germer, anybody know what germer means?.Version: 0
✓ Worst. App. Ever.At first it was ok. Then it starts to glitch. I reopened the app hoping it would work but no. If you do get the app though don't do Spanish to English or English to Spanish. This app made me mad... 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡.Version: 1.9.12
✓ Please add!Can u add farsi and i will leave 5 stars..Version: 0
✓ Not greatI downloaded this AP while traveling in Italy, so was quite excited to begin using it. Unfortunately, the first 3 words I tried did not translate and they were pretty common words. It merely had the same word in both the Italian and the English portion of the screen. I did finally get a few words to work, but it is very hit or miss. The second problem is that after translating a word, the keyboard does not reappear so that you can enter another word - even if you hit clear. You have to go back to the target language screen, select the language again and return to the input screen so that the keyboard appears again. But what the heck, it's free, and maybe the updates will improve the program. Just don't expect to rely on it..Version: 0
✓ Issues with purchased versionWorks well and tempting to pay for the additional features. However, when I indeed bought and upgraded the App, it failed to display the translated text (although voice worked ok), both on my iPhone and iPad. Tried to get a response from the developer, but had on reply. Stick to the free version..Version: 1.9.2
✓ FarsiIs it possible to include Farsi in your list of languages.Version: 0
✓ NOT GOOD - NOT RELIABLE !!!I choose French as the source language and Portuguese as the target language and it gives me the translation in ENGLISH instead !!?? If I swap them, it gives the same translation for both! I choose English as the source language and Portuguese as the target language and it gives me the translation in ENGLISH instead !!??.Version: 0
✓ Free but I would pay if better ...I like that it saves the original statement if you have to switch to text messaging, but it doesn't save the translation. Also, you can e-mail what you've translated but it would be awesome and I would pay for the ability to text the translation..Version: 0
✓ WRONGEnglish to French is soooo wrong dont download waste of memory Wish I didnt even hav to put onestar!!!!.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Lame and Waste of Time!!You need a stupid wifi connection to translate the word which I don't have :(.Version: 0
✓ It's an all UI application with a limited UIIt seems they've simply put an iPhone front-end onto google language. i presume this is legal? but, in essence, the value proposition is a better user interface. and true, launching an application on the phone has its advantages over a browser interface ala safari. yet in this case, those advantages don't expend much beyond the fact that it is an application. i appreciate the fact that it is free, however. yet, this probably isn't going to make it onto my first five application screens on my phone, and alas, may not survive my monthly application purge..Version: 0
✓ GoodI agree, a voice pronunciation would be great. There is a wide variety of languages to choose from and it is very accurate although I must say the interface is not very user friendly and is quite ugly..Version: 0
✓ 😑As soon as i got the app it crashed. i don’t know what happened but i opened it and then it exited me out of it. strange. 😐.Version: 1.9.12
✓ HORRIBLEThis app won't translate English to Spanish. Find my review at the app that works.Version: 0
✓ Good but missing advertised languagesFalse advertising, does not contail all the languages advertised, if there not supporedt yet then say there not and list them as future updates.Version: 0
✓ The app stops workingIt's a great app when it works but when it stops working nothing you can do to get it going again delete the app and re add it still does the same thing.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Great but a little frustratingGreat app works well although the menu buttons at the top can be a pain. These buttons are easily tapped and will open a menu screen which wipes your text. Please have the app save the text before the menu opens..Version: 0
✓ Farsi neededCan u please add Farsi too.Version: 0
✓ Was great until last updateAfter the last update this app is now LESS user friendly. Now you have to remember what your last language settings were because all that's visible are 2-letter abbreviations for the source & target languages. Also, once you use the app, it opens on the results window which now only has the target language field. So, to enter a new query into the source language field you have to backtrack to the previous screen. Moreover, the reason the results window lacks the source language field is that they've wasted the whole bottom half of the window with flag icons for purchasing additional languages. Not cool. I used to love this app. Now it wastes my time with its poor interface..Version: 0
✓ Great but . . .If I'm using this application, then it most likely means that I'm outside of Canada. If this application requires an internet connection, then this application is not actually free because I'll be paying roaming charges!.Version: 0
✓ Offline!!!This app should be offline so if your on the go and you are not near a Wireless network you can still use it.Version: 0
✓ Many mistakesIt makes a lot of mistakes. Cannot be used offline...Version: 0
✓ Not very user efficientThe multi-screen steps required to select the source and target language is slow cumbersome. And there are few options for using the translated text. This app uses the Google Translate API which requires network connection, but this is expected. Offline translation databases are available for purchase, but still the screen-flow is inefficient..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Invalid in-app purchasesBeware. This app locks up except for in-app purchases, then hits your CC for $1.99..Version: 1.9.12
✓ Purchased dictionaries are not use in translationSilly me, I thought that buying the dictionaries which are advertised within the application, meant that it would be able to translate without connecting to the internet; this is the obvious thing to do as data connection charges when travelling overseas are very pricey. THE DICTIONARIES ARE NOT INTEGRATED WITH THIS APPLICATION; the application does not work at all in "Aeroplane mode". I spent $24 on dictionaries only to find that all the dictionaries give you is individual word translations in separate applications. They are not integrated with the Free Translator application as you would expect when the adds are within the application. Very annoyed I am. Done my money..Version: 0
✓ Not very impressedA very basic application that would be good for translating very basic and common words (occassionally). Many faults. For eg. if you are translating a word from another language into your own tongue and do not know the exact spelling, there are no suggestions for spelling and you will not get any translation at all, sometimes even with the correct spelling (incredibly limited dictionary). You would be better off just googling..Version: 0
✓ DisappointedThis app was great until the last update, now it's full of ads and the voice conversion won't work unless you upgrade! Very disappointing!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Bad translatorSome languages are read from right to left like Arabic or Hebrew... This app does not take that into consideration it rights the translation from left to right so when I showed to a friend how reads Arabic and Hebrew he said it didn't make any sense and that some letters where reversed. I give this app -6 stars Since I had to put 1 Star to post..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Bad bad badIt got 4 out of ten translatioms I tried =.=.Version: 0
✓ Its okThis is probably more like a dictionary than a grammatic translator!! i speak french and often the grammer is out so it makes no sense!! It often translates it directly so in english it would read - i to play the football -- je jouer le foot -- should be i played football - je joue (e with accent) au foot some cases the grammer is there!! it depends on the complexity of it tense!! i mean "i played foot ball" works!! so be careful!!! its a bit like altavista bable fish<< it doesnt always give complete accuracy so be careful!!! xxx.Version: 0
✓ Where is the listen option gone to?It had a button so it would speak the translation in the target language. But not so any more it was great. Bring it back!.Version: 1.6.4
✓ Pincus321The latest update pretty much ruined a decent app I now use something else it had it's quirks but with practice could translate beginner sentences accurately.Version: 0
✓ AwwThis is so stupid! It requres Internet? I was hoping for a translator that has no need for wifi. Lame..Version: 0
✓ Can’t completely removeEven after deleting this app, an entry for it remains in Settings > iCloud > Look Me Up By Email. There is no way to remove it. Apple support couldn’t remove it, either. The text there reads, “Apps that have requested permissions to look you up by your Apple ID will appear here. People who look you up will see your first and last name.” You don’t have to turn this feature on, but why have it at all? Seems like a danger to privacy..Version: 1.9.12
✓ Needs polishingIve noticed a short delay on keyboard showtime after I had my translation done and had to keep my finger tapped on the screen for a while until it actually reappeared. Having selected a source language like Greek which is NOT supported by iPhone keyboarding system how do you expect the user to input text in the desired Greek language? One star until some serious improvements are brought forward to make this app really stand out because we all know it is full of great potential..Version: 0
✓ .Crashes every time i try to translate. Will re-install..Version: 0
✓ Needs inbuiltNeeds inbuilt words the reason I downloaded it was to use when I don't have google translator....Version: 0
✓ Copy & PasteMost people are complaining that they cannot copy and paste when using the application...That's true but I will teach you how to do it...After you hit the translate button on the top right corner the next page will offer you the option to send an email...This is where you can copy and paste the translated version of your text...I have a problem with this app...Translation to Japanese is done using alphabet instead of words...Therefore I cannot learn Japanese using this app...Also the translation is poor until a friend told me wrong Japanese...This app is not good for paragraph translation but words....Version: 0
