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.

The translations are fine and some of the features are nice, but the visuals are horrible. The font is lightweight and hard to read, the blurry photo background is distracting. Need audio option for Persian, especially with the demise of Say Hi. Also, need options for formal or informal you (French), and gender

I had another app before downloading this one, and it was horrible. It had me in situations where I needed it, but was unable to use it because of its performance. This app however, is much easier and very simple to use. I love all the different options it gives for translations (type, speak, etc.)
