Review summary

User reviews are mixed. Some praise ease of use and features like a two-screen mode and niche usefulness (anime translation) with open-source appeal. However, recurring complaints focus on inconsistent translation quality across languages, stability problems, usability regressions due to updates, a new paywall, and gaps in language support. Overall, strong positives exist, but reliability and feature access issues dominate user sentiment.

Pros

User-friendly interface.
Innovative two-screen real-time conversation mode for fast dialogues.
Useful for translating media (e.g., anime).
Open-source.
Positive reception from multiple users (e.g., overall praise in several reviews).

Cons

Translation quality is inconsistent across languages (e.g., Chinese and Spanish issues; Indonesian words missing; Bengali voice input/translation problems).
App stability issues (crashes, cannot open, stops mid-translation).
Updates cause usability regressions or remove features (no copy option, pronunciation feature removed, no play speed control).
Subscription gating after years of free use (requires subscription).
Language coverage gaps in certain languages (e.g., incomplete Indonesian vocabulary).

2026-07-31	Lo*****	The apps UI is a hot mess. You paste text in and god knows where the translation disappears to. Deleted. FYI, You use the Bing translate page and it works as it should.

2026-07-31	Be*****	Tipical Microsoft bad attitude to all people and bad design: app is able to translate, but UI is unusable - bugs, base usability absense (no copy paste, text is lost upon screen off/on). Usual MS badness by design.

2026-07-27	Al*****	big bold letters for people to see pretty good, great for people with hard of hearing. This work very well, translating for my aunt, the big letters made it easier for her to read, and read it quickly. Subtracting a star because why did you reduce the size of the letters. the big bold letters is why I use this app in the first place, because of my nearly deaf aunt. so she could read my WORDS standing 2- 3 feet away. reducing its size, just make like all the other apps. losing it's uniqueness.
