Waygo - Chinese, Japanese, and Korean Translator for Positive User Reviews
✓ Very helpfulThis is great it worked for me because I had a japan candy kit and I didn't know how to read it and I used the app and I knew what it said after. Great app👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.Version: 4.11
✓ Awesome!Works great! Now I can read my Japanese manga!! Thanks Waygo!!.Version: 4.11
✓ Huge PotentialAn amazing little app that packs a lot of wow! Still cutting it's teeth on the accurate translations but has massive potential! Well done..Version: 3.32
✓ Good stuffGreat for reading menus.Version: 6.16
✓ GreatLiving in Hong Kong and is very useful!.Version: 3.10
✓ Works well on printed menusHave successfully ordered several meals from Chinese only menus. Works beautifully when items are in print on one line. Not working for blackboards but that is a small problem. Highly recommended..Version: 6.17
✓ Good app. Works well!Works on everything I've pointed at if so far. Not excited about the 10 translation limit. But good app. Simpler than others like pleco..Version: 3.20
✓ Good for restaurants and cafésI have tried it on several different menus in china. It does what it says, translating words on menus. And that's why I need this. So many places to eat in china don't have English menus. So in my case this app is fantastic for daily use. it can be hit and miss which is why I'm giving it 1 less star, otherwise it's great because it's a translating app which doesn't need internet connection and works on the go..Version: 3.42
✓ Is getting me through China!I use this app every day (upgraded to full version and best couple of bucks I've spent on an app in a long time). I can decipher menus and store items that would have left me more than confused. Things aren't black and white but a few key words will let you decide if you want chicken or intestines at a restaurant!.Version: 4.02
✓ Great app !Easy to use. Perfect !.Version: 6.17
✓ Fast and accurateThis app is perfect for translating Chinese (haven’t tried Japanese). I live in China, and I can verify that the app is nearly always accurate on menus and signs. You see the translation right over the original (augmented reality). In addition, it’s extremely fast, and works offline. I can’t even imagine how sophisticated the tech must be that went into this. I’ve seen other similar attempts at Optical Character Recognition, and none of them work as well..Version: 3.42
✓ With a little practice, it's a worthy translation assistant.Considering the complexity of deciphering Chinese characters in various conditions, I've found this app to be useful. Learning to adjust it much like a magnifying glass took a little practice but it's provided translation of key words on grocery products, household appliance controls, street signs, and mandarin text books. I think it's a worthy translation tool to have amongst a few others I use to navigate living in China..Version: 5.11
✓ GreatThis is THE app for translating restaurant menus and signs in China. But be warned, it eats your battery! I’ve bought a battery pack so I can use it all day..Version: 6.17
✓ NiceNice appl.Version: 4.02
✓ TranslationsI have used this app for the last 2 years in China & have found it works very well especially on menus,paid for the upgrade to unlimited which I think was a reasonable price,might not be 100% accurate all the time but is very useful & I wouldn't be without it now..Version: 5.02
✓ Amazing!!I am at Yale where interactions with Chinese students and Chinese Medical Schools has been active for decades. This app has totally changed my way of translating with my students in China in that the written translations are flawless and extremely fast! The developers should be internationally recognized! Imagine what they would do for world communications with similar software for Indian languages, Japanese, Russian! Endless!.Version: 2.31
✓ Very usefulFantastic program. Very useful and it can read a surprisingly good amount of styles. I use it for menus mostly, but have tried it out on all kinds of things. I am however only giving it 4 stars because despite having paid for lifetime use. I still get a message pop up every time I use it asking me whether I want to pay for it. Annoying..Version: 5.11
✓ Works very wellA little trouble with handwritten or dark background but really very useful.Version: 6.17
✓ Super usefulSpent two weeks in China and got heaps of use out of this app. Translates live in-camera and doesn't require an internet connection to work. You need good contrast and legibility in the text you're translating, but it was almost always enough to translate menus and signage..Version: 6.17
✓ Great!Such a fcken good app for free! I have mandarin homework I cba to do so I scan it and boom! Done....Version: 6.17
✓ It helped me successfully order a meal in ChinaThis app is not only cool in how it works with optical character recognition and the camera. It is also cool how it works so well in translation. Sure, the app has crashed a couple times and every now and again the translations is awkward or unavailable, but it works and I have used it successfully. I live in Asia and travel around the region and this app has worked in most of the places that I have been such as Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China. I'm very pleased with this app, try it out..Version: 1.03
✓ Works like a charmIt's a great app but it would be even greater if the app worked with other languages. I suppose that could come later as the business expands.Version: 2.32
✓ So valuable!I spent 5 weeks in China and this was life changing. I was able read menus which was the most fun and entertaining. With all the choices in every restaurant large or small, i was able to try all the things i wanted! I read menus like novels so it was incredible! It was great for reading train tickets, signage and descriptions. I brought back ingredients and have been able to translate the packaging and recipes in Asian grocery stores here in the US!.Version: 6.17
✓ AwesomeAmazing! Works as advertized!.Version: 1.03
✓ Helpless withoutThe app isn't perfect, but it's close. All you have to do is point your camera at Chinese characters and like waiving a magic wand, the pinion and translation pop up. Very helpful for figuring out menus, the buttons on washers and air conditioners, and airport signs!.Version: 6.17
✓ Makes life easy!This has become a tool I cannot live without in China! So quick at translations. Thank you!.Version: 6.17
✓ HelpfulFind this helpful when away and needing to translate menu or signs. Downside :Sometimes struggles with reflections on shiny surfaces, occasional words in the Japanese one come up no translation while we have used it out shopping. Up side: very quick, easy to use and can be used off line..Version: 4.01
✓ AwesomeWorks as advertised, translation often better than the English menu equivalent!.Version: 2.42
✓ Pretty good, but crashesWorks pretty much like described, which us pretty amazing. Tends to crash a lot as it tries to scan tho. Would be great if you could also use a still snapshot or a photo library images to read..Version: 1.03
✓ It works VERY well, with a few caveatsThe translation is pretty fast and quite accurate (as far as I can tell) as long as: 1) the lighting is good enough (turn on flash if required), 2) contrast of the characters against background is high, 3) you hold it steady. It takes a little practice, but once you have it figured out it is fast and accurate. I am in China on a very short notice business trip and have used it for probably about 50 translations already. Dead accurate on today's lunch menu which had no English on it nor did anyone there speak English. The $2 cost for a week of translation is great. I just do not understand why anybody complains about $2 for something you couldn't even dream of having a few years ago. Downside: it uses a LOT of battery power very quickly. Use it judiciously..Version: 3.21
✓ Way to goSo far one of the best, it's so easy to use and expand your vocabulary. Thank you for this just Genius..Version: 5.01
✓ Works really wellV1.05 seems to run without crashing. Works really well on most items on a menu from a Chinese restaurant. Gets confused when English is mixed in (like X. O. Sauce). Highly recommended if you Chinese food. Waiting for improvements to handle a much larger vocabulary. Keep up the good work!.Version: 1.05
✓ I love it—helps with foreign language students!It is very close to perfect. The only problem is that it has constraints on the text you are translating. Other then that,(and the ads) it’s great and hopefully it gets further developed 👍.Version: 6.17
✓ Chinese to EnglishHave only used for Chinese but it got me through my first trip to China with very few problems.Version: 6.17
✓ Fantastic worth itFantastic idea and product. Has helped myself and friends immensely when lost and at restaurants whilst pointing it at pinyin whilst at bus stops etc. Please speed up capture features though which can be frustrating, but overall fab product well worth paying for fully! A MUST NEED WHILST TRAVELLING IN CHINA!.Version: 6.03
✓ MandarinUseful but can be a bit fiddly..Version: 6.17
✓ Great appSuper useful on my trip to Japan.Version: 6.03
✓ ChineseIt does not translate everything that i have gave it but most of it, i bought the full version and overall happy, i take screen shots and open app and works fast.Version: 6.17
✓ Question to WaygoPlease add the Thai language next!!.Version: 5.11
✓ Bugs on new version correctedInteresting new functionalities, overall good app!.Version: 4.01
✓ GoodGood.Version: 5.11
✓ Great for traveling China.I have been using WAYGO alongside other apps that do similar translations and have found that WAYGO is the one to use whenever we are at a restaurant staring at a menu blankly. The translations are less literal and make ordering much less scary. Hint: If you have multiple iOS devices to install this app on after purchasing the upgrade, you will want to go into settings and "upgrade" on each of your other devices. You will then see a RESTORE feature in the top right. Tap it and as long as you have in app purchases enabled it will upgrade the new device..Version: 6.03
✓ It works perfectly fineIt works perfectly fine, I was skeptical at first because of all the reviews but it ok..Version: 6.17
✓ Awesome appI use this app every time I go to China. No need to ask for English menu, as long as you have a good connection:-).Version: 6.17
✓ Really, really good!I used to use another similar app to translate Chinese via the camera but that app could only translate single words, this app seems to be able to translate entire sets of words and the translations are not "Chinglish" translations but rather grammatically correct English... Plus being able to instantly see the pinyin and be able to pronounce words you haven't yet learnt is extremely valuable! To me, $7 is extremely good value for money when you consider what you get (expensive in comparison to other apps, but this truly is a learning tool! Better than a text book!).Version: 3.01
✓ Very useful appIt can take a few goes to get the translation right sometimes, and it can take a few more goes if there’s a lot of varying colours/shapes behind the text, but usually translates it without hassle and all-in-all a very useful app for a tourist in China, Japan or Korea..Version: 6.17
✓ Couldn't survive in china without thisSo useful for translating menus. Signs and other translations are a bit sketchy.Version: 5.01
✓ So useful!I live in China and use this app nearly everyday. Considering how tough it is to translate Mandarin it does a great job!.Version: 4.11
✓ Fantastic appSo helpful. This can be lifesaver in restaurants etc. Made my life so much easier. Great app.Version: 3.42
✓ Best app to have in ChinaBest use is for translating restaurant menus and street signs..Version: 5.11
✓ Must have app in ChinaCan’t use Chinese apps without this. All I do is screenshot and import into Waygo if I don’t know what to do. Problem solved!.Version: 6.17
✓ Life saverThis app helps me a lot with signes, menus, even remotes for apliances in China. Highly reccommended.Version: 3.42
✓ Why didn't I buy this earlier?So I've been in China for two weeks now and I have one more to go and I finally decided to try this app. In restaurants it works awesome! I love going to local places that don't have English or picture menus and this app allows me to find out what I am getting into and actually get the food I am craving. I wish I could go back in time two weeks and buy it then!.Version: 3.21
✓ Great app!Very awesome, wish I had it when I lived in China!.Version: 6.17
✓ AwesomenessIf you don't speak mandarin this app is killer. And free!.Version: 1.03
✓ Useful appNot perfect, but really useful app..Version: 4.03
✓ Dr.This app worked great in China! Did well at getting the main point across, and all the locals were amazed and would hover and watch while the app did its thing. I didn't give it 5 stars because sometimes the translations added in weird words, doesn't do well when the words are written close to each other (vertically), and it doesn't do well at reading some stylized characters..Version: 6.11
✓ Huge improvementDon't normally leave reviews, but I've been so impressed with Waygo since the latest update that I thought I would. I first downloaded it almost a year ago, and on my old iPhone 4 it suffered massive speed issues, both in how long it took the app to load (about 30 secs) and how long it took to make a translation. Translating a whole menu would take you ages. As a result, I didn't find myself using it very often. I now have an iPhone 6, and with the latest update, Waygo has become phenomenal. The app loads quickly now, and it can translate multiple lines of a menu in a split second. I live in a very local area of China with no English. I went into a restaurant for lunch today which had no pictures or English. And using Waygo, I was able to translate the entire menu in seconds. I was very impressed and will start using it a lot more than I have, because this app has just become very, very good. If you live in China, it's now certainly worth the £4.99 upgrade..Version: 4.02
✓ Accurate to a pointNot entirely accurate however read between the lines, use the context of the situation and your own judgement and it's great. Kickstarts the understanding of this complicated language (Chinese). Thank you for developing this great app..Version: 3.42
✓ The best app everyI'm really please to have this app it's super great and really useful. I would suggest to make it a free version please.... And would be great if you can have something like voice translation that would be 10 stars from me.Version: 5.14
✓ Works wellHave used this several times for business translations. Worth a go if your reading level is a little lacking in Chinese/Koren/Japanese..Version: 6.17
✓ Brilliant!This is the only photo translation app that actually works for Chinese text. All this now needs is full Chinese language support so that its not just limited to a food/menu dictionary. Great work guys!.Version: 1.03
✓ Great app for travelingVery useful app while in Asia. It comes handy to navigate menus written in Chinese..Version: 6.17
✓ Useful little app!Really awesome little app. Haven't used it a lot but so far has managed to work perfectly well..Version: 3.10
