Ratings and reviews

Used to be one of the most useful apps on my phone, the latest update this week has made it close to useless for real world use. It used to be very reliable and seemed to translate with pretty reasonable precision, even for my work at an auto parts store with technical, specific terms. The latest update has ruined translate because it will cut off mid sentence, on both sides of the conversation, with horrible, useless translations.

this app is amazing! I use it often at work and when I am traveling abroad. it has helped me learn to read in other languages and is great for assisting in pronunciation. the accuracy is about 95% due to regional and country variations of som3 languages (Spanish) but it is accurate enough that you can communicate with very little or no knowledge of a given language.

It worked up until 2/4. I don't understand why the latest update messed things up. It worked so well before. It caught 95% of what needed to be translated and translated instantly in real time. Now it'll only catch like 5%. Not exaggerating. And it takes so long to translate. Showing multiple translations until it chooses which to give. And sometimes while it's thinking, it won't translate and just delete what it just picked up. Doesn't translate any songs anymore. It was perfect before.
