  • lol doesn’t work

    I tried translating japanese characters on a mask that had Kokichi Ouma on it and all it did was translate everything that wasn’t Japanese 😃
  • Doesn’t even work for one character translation

    I don’t know why it won’t even translate single characters. It keeps telling me there is no text in the box no matter how clear the picture is, or where I space it between the orange brackets. And this is a single typed character on a white piece of paper to test the app. It’s way too finicky for me to bother with.
  • No good

    This app is useless and does absolutely nothing.
  • Free translations excellent; Paid is HORRIBLE

    Got this app to help with translation of very small Japanese print. Tested multi-line translation with the free app and it worked brilliantly. Bought the paid unlimited translation for Japanese only, and immediately saw a difference. What once translated as (Light Red 50%) now translates as TUNA or Shy, or other ridiculous phrases. Do yourself a favor, don't even bother with the free version, let alone pay for the unlimited version.
  • It crashes

  • Didn’t help me

    I downloaded it to read cooking instructions for some Japanese food I bought. Just one short paragraph. I tried it and it told me I had 0 free translations left of 10 per day even though this was the only time that I ever used it. It then prompted me to buy the full app. Not a good way to attract customers.

    While in Guangzhou and Hong Kong, the app was of no help. Chinese traveling with me laughed at the things it came up with.

    My hand brushed a button and erased my translation. If there were a HISTORY button, I could have resumed what I was doing. My loss. Please consider.
  • Paid for upgrade but will not install / restore upgrade

    I paid for the Chinese version, followed the directions how to “Restore” the upgrade, removed Waygo, tried again. No joy. Tried upgrading to the full, three language version. No joy. Contacted the developer. No joy. I can only hope I did not get charged because I want to run, not walk, away from this app.
