Ratings and reviews

Using English to Spanish: Worked perfectly from the moment i started using it. Even tho there may be different nuances of language, depending on country, i find the translations to be quite accurate. Makes getting to know people and interact with them so much easier. -- Thank You so much to the developers of this app. But also keep aiming at Excellence, working to make improvements with the help of other reviews and AI. Thats all for now. Peace out! :)

The app and service is super helpful. One hand UX could be further improved. Absolutely annoying language suggestions: e.g. when I have rus-eng settings and type a (quite common) English word, the app may suggest absolutely exotic language instead of just swapping the language pair. And if I accidently accept it, then I'll spend a bunch of time setting back my language pair. I like that I can save words, but this is just a useless long list of words (can't download, no learning features, ..).

Simce the last update, the app is not translating English to Spanish. It was better before the AI took over, too. No it doesn't always give me the option for masculine or feline and always assumes I am a female. It also just totally changes my sentence and makes me look stupid. Just now, I wrote a conversation out and at the end put "sweat dreams" (luckily I learned the correct words in the past from the translator and could fix it) and it put "sweaty dreams" Very embarising and frustrating.
