It's alright. Better than a lot of them. it struggled with vertical text in manga mode even when selected I can see the inputs being read horizontally. So I grabbed the text and realigned it horizontally and it did much better. Quite a flaw if a big use of it is for manga.

This is a good application, I do have feedback only on one area, that's the bubble that is used to scroll and translate, it's difficult to know where you start and end, messes up the translate, please fix the pop up bubble. Thank you in advance

Thanx for getting rid of deceptive ads. OLD: Dropped 2* because of the deceptive advertising. An Ad pops up at the beginning offering "VIP Premium" for $35 us. But if you go into the app you can get rid of the ads for $9.99. Love the app, That's why I paid the $9.99. But the $35 Ad should be more clear that lower price options are available. 1st review: Worked perfectly on 1st try. Just what I was looking for.

Ilike how easy it is to translate one language to another by just using a picture or something, scanning the words on screen or when you dont have to copy paste the word. Still even if this app is free there's always a catch, like you can't use some of the language, you have to purchase it or watch ads. Speaking of ads, i hate em. But all in all, good app

I wish the translation result window can be movable because it is too small at the bottom of the screen, and I can't even adjust the height but just the screen width so it is still small. Uncomfortable for reading many texts.

Does not function with any japanese kanji on images, even typed kanji. Don't use this if you're trying to translate manga or the like, it will not work. It will also ensure that you use your "free" translations on failed translations, and missclicking or accidently sizing the translation window wrong will also consume "free" translations, even if nothing was translated. Very clearly designed to be be anti-consumer and deliberately unintuitive to use.

03/08/21 why did you remove the ability to X out at the bottom of the screen?! Update 06/07/22 app has gone from bad to worst. Doesn't always translate and they are bad when it does. It freezes. It's clunky and the ability to easily close out the app was removed, I believe, it was so the devs can read everything you do on you screen. I paid for this awful app and now I'm looking for something better than this!🤬 Another flaw is when you hit copy it copies source language instead of the target!

This app works like a charm. Unlike other translation apps, there's situations where you need to take a screenshot of the item you want translated. This, all you need to do is scroll over their target button and you can highlight what you want translated. Only downside with this app and many others, would love to know what language it happens to be translating.

Super good app, works really well and gives pretty accurate OCR for some of the tough languages like Russian, Japanese and even Tagalog (filipino). Certain elements of the app could be better. For example, the language swap button can be put to the end side instead of the middle. The box is way too small and often it ends up tapping the language switcher instead of the swapper button. I'll try mail the rest to the dev directly, the message box seems to be short in that regards. ✌🏻
