Ratings and reviews

I've been using this for a few months now and really like it bc its not complicated to use or figure out compared to similar apps. However lately whenever I translate ONE single sentence and then try another, it plays and ad literally every single time! After just 1 simple translation! I get the purpose of needing at but this has gotten way to excessive...it didn't used to play this many! Will be looking for a different app..

Horrible. I tried to translate a manga panel and it didn't even translate it to the language I wanted. It translated numbers when there wasn't any numbers to begin with. I tried copy pasting a manga panel in it so they could translate it but it doesn't even translate, instead it just shows a blank white space. Whenever it actually does translate something it's only two or three words. Not even sentences. This is by far the WORSE translation app I have tried so far. And I've tried many.

I've been using the app to translate Dragon Quest X, which would be next to impossible without it. (Japanese to English) As you can imagine, there is a lot to translate in an entire MMORPG, so I end up taking a lot screenshots. So far, the amount of pictures I have had it translate without an annoying ad or two in-between, really isn't all that bad. It isn't perfect, but it IS a quick and easy way to avoid stumbling around blind when immersed in an entirely unfamiliar language.
