## Review summary

Users like Google Translate for its broad language support, real-time on iPad, and language-learning features, with many saying they’d recommend it. However, recurring concerns focus on translation instability after AI model updates and the lack of an easy switch back to a faster model, plus UI changes that block copying and slow access to options. Additional complaints include a robotic voice lacking speed control and overall slow loading times, indicating performance and usability improvements are needed.

### Pros

- Offers more languages than Apple Translate.
- Excellent real-time translation on iPad.
- Practice tab helps with language learning.
- Users say they would recommend it to friends.

### Cons

- Translations can be inconsistent/unreliable after AI model updates, with no easy option to switch back to the fast model.
- New translation button UI blocks copy and other options, and the copy button is difficult to access due to placement.
- Voice output sounds robotic and is too fast; no speed control.
- Very slow loading times.
