Ratings and reviews

Please, stop with the ads. I paid to stop them yet already within a day, a random ad decided to appear and interrupt a game I was trying to understand from translation. Past that the app is good for general translation or basic understandings of another language. I'm surprised by the multitude of languages that it covers. It seems decently accurate and tends to grab onto what your translating well. Wish that the reticle used to translate would stop floating off to the side causing me to mistap.

This is the only app that could read the japanese text on an emulator I was running. While not truly real time, it's about as close as you can get. However, the monetization completely ruins the experience. I just want to pay for the full app, or even just a language. But paying for individual translations is just awful.

The moment I saw it can translate as I use a different app, I was quite excited. That feeling went down the drain when I saw that I had to BUY the language I wanted to translate. I can't possibly give this a good rating, since all languages I intend to use, require purchases, and watching ads just to use a FEW translations for Japanese while playing a JP game, is catastrophic. A users 1st CHOSEN language should be 100% full and free if this app requires any purchases. Such is garbage.
