Ratings and reviews

App translates to the printed word and the spoken word as spoken, for example, by a Spanish speaking person right away. And with no ads. It does English to Spanish or Spanish to English. So, two foreigners can quickly have a dialogue with each other. Just select the "to" and "from" languages and press the microphone button and it instantly translates. Then press the reverse button for the other person to speak back to you in their native language. And it does at least 48 languages.

I really enjoy this app, the variety of languages and various helps, I definitely appreciate. The only reason why I give 4 stars is sometimes the app doesn't always pick up on the mic. Restarting the app is okay but not every time. I have yet to explore all the app has to it. However I do like this app, no dumb ads or trying to sell you something, just a simple translator. Thanks to those that have made app.

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.
