Ratings and reviews

Love this translator... Essential tool. I do however wish the "conversation" piece could work from a single phone. I often need to have a conversation with random people who speak another language and asking them to install the app and use the code makes it too difficult. It should work by allowing me to speak (Translating audio to selected language) then vice versa, allowing other user to speak their language and app translates back to my language.

It's a good application. It has a lot of languages and features. There is one issue. There is no option to download by using data. I went to the help website. It said that the application does offer the option of downloading the languages for offline use by using data. It doesn't. The application only offers Wi-Fi downloading. This is verifiable.

Giving one star so this gets noticed. It has started doing this thing where the further down the screen the words are the smaller the writing to the point it's literally unreadable. It didn't used to do this, it used to be the same size as the font being used. But lately the words keep getting smaller for no apparent reason. This is extremely bad for people with vision disabilities and needs fixed ASAP.
