Ratings and reviews

"It is very annoying. The text is not translated correctly, and when you write a long message, the page doesn’t stay fixed. Words move around unpredictably, making it hard to control. Even if I want to copy a small part quickly, I can’t. I have to copy the entire text and paste it into another program just to extract the parts I need."

sometimes I feel like the translation is slowed down just so we can have more smooth transition animations. like when I type a word, it first show the shimmer effect then show the results, with each transition take the same amount of frames and times to expand or collapse the outer view. it could have been much faster if we don't pursue the best UI effect

Used to be fantastic, 5 stars. Have been using for years. Now it fails to detect what language to translate, often outputting exactly what was input, untranslated. If there is any kind of spelling error, forget about it. Previously the app was intuitive, easy to use, accurately detected language, translated correctly and gave other possible translations. Now? Useless.
