Contact iTranslate Converse Support

I am bilingual (English and Spanish)...so you are probably wondering why I downloaded the app. I downloaded it so that it could translate back and forth between English and German because my boyfriend is German and his parents and some of his friends don’t speak English. My German is also very limited so that doesn’t help either. I wanted to test out the app by speaking Spanish to see if the app would translate right into English and vise versa and I was shocked by if 2 of the most spoken languages in the world (aside from Chinese) aren’t translated well then I can’t trust it to translate between my English and German well, especially if it is a more complex language. I already deleted the app. I hope they make major improvements or make it free. I will have to stick to learning the language better on a different app I use and keep using the free translations apps (I am not going to pay $5 a month on this app if it doesn’t work well). If it was free then I’d consider it because it is just as bad as the free ones. Good luck developers (hire some more linguists). Oh and if anyone says this app works well, it is because they are not fluent and don’t know any better. Again, please hire linguists and learn conversational pieces to the languages (includes slang and you must hire linguists that were born and raised with the 2 languages you are trying to translate between to get it right).

This application had great reviews. I tried it out. I speak a little bit of several languages. This thing worked like garbage. The voice recognition was terrible and kept thinking I was saying the wrong thing, especially when I was speaking English and it thought I was speaking another language and English at the same time. When it actually got what I said correct, it did translate correctly. However, it took multiple attempts to get it to recognize what I was saying. There is absolutely no way you can carry a conversation with this thing. You’d be much better off holding a physical translation dictionary between the languages than using this. I also tried the Apple Watch app. I don’t have the words to express how terrible it is, but I will try. First off, it doesn’t work. I tried to get it to translate the word “hello”. Over a minute later still nothing. I have an extremely good fiber optic Internet connection so not having enough bandwidth is not the issue. The problem is the terrible program. Deleted the app.

I thought this was a free app but later found out I was charged. Also, this app does not do a good job of transcribing what you say if you do not use very clear diction. Siri picks up on less than perfect diction much better than this app, even though to the best of my understanding Siri cannot translate. I deleted this from my phone within a day for this reason. One month later I found out I had been charged a $5 fee for one months usage of the app. The impression I get is that the app developer has knowingly created the setup installation process in such a way that if you do not read ALL the fine print you will accidentally sign up for the pay subscription. Read every bit of fine print or you to may accidentally end up signing up for the pay subscription. This is a terrible business model. Make a good product and people may pay. Don’t trick them into paying you for a mediocre product that they deleted off their phone a month ago due to poor voice recognition.
