Translate Now - AI Translator Reviews

by NaplesFLa

TranslateNow I had previously downloaded had downloaded back from my iCloud make sure that it was up-to-date. My iOS is updated I am using an iPad Pro 2017 model 10.5 inch and I tried to open up TranslateNow and can barely read what it says and I hit continue so I can use that with my health aides as I am unfortunately now hospital bed bound due to Lou Gehrig’s disease. And it is not a free app. I didn’t even see it a choice to “not here have the three day cancellation or trial. In order to use this translator. If the developer of TranslateNow would adjust the system so that I’m able to use it again, but I would highly recommend TranslateNow with a five star. Until then I would advise anyone else with this issue to go elsewhere..

I downloaded the Translated Now app from App Store because I wanted to translate an English sentence into Spanish. I have no prior knowledge how App Store subscription works. As usual, I just click “Yes” to all on-screen interactions not knowing I have accepted the Air Apps terms. I was charged $4.99 on my credit card 7 days later. When I disputed with Air app customer service, their response was “...you will need to cancel your subscription before the end of the period”. I believe this software publisher has no clue about customer satisfaction but wanting to earn $4.99 in exchange for bad customer satisfaction. I will not consider any apps published this company. They are alternatives in the market with better customer services. Beware! You will be charged $4.99.

WARNING, WATCH YOUR WALLET. I downloaded this with the 3 day trial to attempt to translate manga from Japanese to English. Even with perfect lighting, and zooming in on one sentence at a time, the vast majority of words did not translate at all. The few words that did were poorly translated and mostly incoherent. I got frustrated after an hour of trying to make it work and forgot about TranslateNow . Thats when the auto-billing started. Yes, it is my fault that I forgot to cancel before the 3 days was up. However, it is worth pointing out that the default auto-bill is a WEEKLY payment of $4.99. This is clearly predatory and money-grabbing, hoping you will forget about your 3 day free trial. I’m sure the dev is making plenty of money off this non-functional app and the people who forgot they downloaded it. And he is clearly spending some of his earnings on fake reviews to pad his app store score. But I’m not pleased, and heed my warning, TranslateNow is verging on a SCAM.

TranslateNow is unusable: There isn’t a setting to disable keyboard clicks. TranslateNow requires full access which causes the keyboard clicks. However TranslateNow refuses to work without full access. So the devs wanted TranslateNow to be annoying. Also I have an issue with giving away access to apps to use my data such as my purchases and personal identifiers. I have not used TranslateNow to translate anything bc I can’t stand to have clicks constantly going off on my headphones while I type. So it’s useless to me until this issue is fixed.

Update: I’m not seeing any settings to disable sounds for the keyboard. Turning off sound effects in the settings does not turn off keyboard clicks. There is no setting to disable keyboard clicks.

Let me make one point-> TranslateNow DOES translate

That is one thing that it does. If you’re looking for an app that translates this will do the job BUT
•Only for a few languages...•
——————— THIS isn’t even my main problem. I understand the fact that they have to make money some how and I can also understand that they don’t want to put every language on an app for storage reasons(you can download some languages).
•My MAIN PROBLEM is that even AFTER you download the language, they don’t have a button for how they would say it in the language you’re translating to. •
——————— THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF A TRANSLATOR IS HEARING HOW TO SAY IT.
———— The only language it can say it in is English. THEY COULDN’T EVEN DO ENGLISH IN A DIFFERENT ACCENT. unless you know how to read the language you’re translating to, you’re better off not downloading TranslateNow.

Is it the worst app of it’s kind? No.
Could you find worse? Absolutely.

The thing is I’m not comparing it to what it’s better than I’m comparing it to what’s better than it and there are better apps that do so much better than this for free.

My point is, don’t download it. There are better translator apps.

Thanks for reading if you did :)
Have a good day :)

I downloaded TranslateNow thinking I would get the whole package free to help with my home work but no the call for money stilll rung. It is pitiful not just TranslateNow but almost every app on the iCloud AppStore requires payments or fees to unlock the whole app can you stop caring so much about the money and more about the convenience of your head strong consummers that continue to buy your piece of garbage phones that continue to not get better aside from the physical traits you people are just sad it gross to see such a huge company with lots of potential to just not give a sh”” about anything besides money I’m switching to Samsung and to anyone reading this you should to they have everything this company does but it’s not just in it for money they listen to their consumers and add constant updates based on buyers reviews

I subscribed for the one month subscription. It worked for 3 days. Now the camera won’t work. It just keeps asking me to subscribe. (Edited to add-I was charged for the subscription). The text translation keeps interrupting me with ads. Extremely frustrated with TranslateNow. I will be even more upset and frustrated if I get charged for anything. I was planning on keeping the subscription as I’m trying to learn Spanish and I can use this for my job. But not if it ignores the subscription and acts like I never subscribed to anything.
Edit to add. Now I’m home from my trip from Oaxaca and Teotitlán. I see that I was definitely charged for this subscription. I can officially say TranslateNow is horrible for the simple fact that I subscribed and was only able to use it for 3 days without adds. Also, couldn’t use any features OFFLINE which is basically everywhere in Teotitlán. It’s incredibly frustrating to use the text translation and to be interrupted with an ad. I seriously want a refund for the subscription. Next time I leave the country I’ll use something else for translation help.

So I love TranslateNow for everything it does, except for one thing and that one thing makes this review go from 5 stars to 2. Let’s start off by saying TranslateNow is very fun. I used TranslateNow to figure out what was in a ginger drink powder from a wrapper. My mom and I both loved it! I am annoyed because TranslateNow will push you to have a free trial, but when you try to cancel it, I can’t. I hate this. I’m not allowed to cancel my subscription no matter what I do. I’ve went into my Apple account and did the same thing to all my other subscriptions that I don’t want charging my card, unsubscribe. But on TranslateNow, I cannot. I’m very annoyed right now. All I want to do is unsubscribe, but I can’t even if I log into TranslateNow . (I say log into, because deleted it) So, can customer service help me?

Maybe I wasn’t using it right but it was constantly trying to make me pay money. I am fine if there is a BETTER version that costs money but it would not allow speaking into the microphone at all with the free version and if there is a way to type in another language I did not find it. The transliteration has English spelling for both Japanese and Chinese mixed together ( I was trying to use it for Japanese) so that would not be helpful for pronouncing things either. I know a little bit of Japanese enough to know it was gibberish for the transliteration and since it would not allow speaking into the microphone in the free version could not use it to actually have a conversation with a Japanese person which is what I want. This really is not helpful.

TranslateNow seems to translate into text very well but when I try to have voice text read back to the person I’m trying to translate to, you can barely hear it no matter how much I turn up my phone to maximize it and so I reached out for support and they asked me to send the screenshot so I told him I just needed to know where their help text was I needed them to tell me how to turn the volume up . I replied to their request for a Screenshots asking where their help text was or if they could just give me directions on how to improve increase the volume and days later still no response after waiting two days for the first response . Can’t find help text Ken can’t get help and I could do text translations for free anywhere

App requires weekly payment to use voice and provides full access to 11 other apps which most are not needed. I wish there was a lower subscription cost for TranslateNow only. I don’t have issues for paying for a good app but $5 a week is outrageous.

More importantly app does not allow users to try and test voice translation unless users pay full subscription. I am not willing to pay before testing the functionality. Developers must provide 2 day testing so user can determine if TranslateNow works or not.

I am immediately deleting TranslateNow .

by Bsbrn

Excellent but $4.99/week for all features is way too much. That’s $20/month or $240/year. It’s absolutely not worth that given I’ll use it a few times per year or if I’m on a trip to France, Italia or a Spanish speaking country. What happened to the flat one time fees? These “subscription” apps have gotten greedy and it only hurts these apps in the apps industry with sharp declines bc of subscriptions bc people get TIRED of paying recurring fees. Thankful I bought the most needed ones for my career long ago which I don’t have to pay the new recurring fees charges associated. Bad, greedy business model though it is a 5 star app.

by Thelostdog

It’s a great app and it helped me have many conversations with foreign friends..my problem is i wish there was an update on the keyboard because the keys are kind of small and it’s hard to talk, I also wish that there was a feature to favorit the languages you want to speak because It’s exhausting having to scroll through all the languages just have a full on conversation with someone. also the keyboard is a bit smaller than the regular english or other keyboards and that makes it harder to keep up the conversation because of typos and trying to type faster so it would be easier if the keyboard was a bit bigger. but also the emojis get stuck on the keyboard and the keyboard freezes idk if it’s just my phone freezing but the emojis and the keys on the keyboard are too small

by SazukeUchihq

It’s a great app, don’t get me wrong. But I’m *ONLY* using it for the keyboard translation feature and I shouldn’t have to pay for that. There’s tons of translation apps out there but they’re all missing one thing which is a keyboard. TranslateNow has that and it’s the only one that’s good in my opinion. It’s just really annoying to pay for something that is this small and I do not want to use another app other than this one. Plus, this isn’t an app that I would literally use everyday because I’m not always in a situation where I would need it, so it would be a waste of money to subscribe. Please make this feature free. I believe it would help me and some others a lot.

TranslateNow has helped me so many times. Weather I would have to communicate with a customer that doesn’t speak English, or even if I am just curious on what something means, I would always retreat to TranslateNow. There are many features that make this application so helpful and awesome! One being the easy, and surprisingly truthful translator.

Yes, many of the best features cost money, but I highly recommend spending that bit of money if you use this like I do. It’s so worth it and they deserve their money. Everything is so thought out and just - precise - to the point where I cannot express it.

I 10/10 reccomend TranslateNow. It helps me not only communicate, but learn!

I don’t usually write reviews but TranslateNow has changed my life. My best friend moved from Mexico and had nobody so I gave her my insta to text me but she didn’t know how to type well in English and I don’t know much Spanish at all so we constantly were going into separate apps to translate what we say. Then I found this keyboard so now I can talk and understand what she says in Spanish because I type in English and then press the button and it goes to Spanish!!!!!

Hi, great job for TranslateNow , I tested it for he other languages and it’s very good, I would like to ask for your help in adding the central Kurdish (known as Sorani) dialect, it is already added to Microsoft translate, but Microsoft translate is very bad, and central Kurdish also has the biggest database among other Unadded languages in google translate but it’s not added yet, so as you can see it’s not as difficult as other languages to add it to your app and you can gain a ton of attention for it as we are all over the net and have been waiting for this for a long time, I’m very sure that many native speakers are willing to help when informed.

by CharlottezBeauty808

I downloaded to try and translations are pretty accurate as far as the Chinese. But I noticed in order to translate a message sent to me, I need to upgrade. But the upgrade for pro comes with other apps for free but I’m not interested in those plus $10 a month is a lot of money for some people. Can your company create options to purchase individual apps in a cheaper price so people like me who is only interested in this particular app can afford it if it’s $1 or $2 dollars per month? When that happens, that is when I will upgrade if I cannot already find another app cheaper. Thank you!

This game can translate to ALL Languages!😍😍
Example: if you have a Egyptian friend... and you don’t know how to speak Arabian... you’d be worried right you’d be like, “How do I talk to her/Him?! They want to be my friend!!!

TranslateNow is pretty worthless for translating Chinese to English. On top of that, it forces you to agree to a one-week trial and automatic subscription to even use the trial. I kept trying to figure out how in app settings to cancel the subscription because it was immediately useless during the trial. I could not. Turns out the way to unsubscribe is to delete TranslateNow , but I did not figure that out until after the trial period had lapsed. Now I have to get my money back.

by Bunnylebowski

I subscribed to the pro version and try to use it on Wi-Fi but every time I try to take a photo and translate or use the AR app so I can read signs and menus, it asks me to subscribe even though I already paid for it. It also won’t correctly share TranslateNow with family members, when I tried to use it on my wife’s phone it also asks to subscribe even though I paid for TranslateNow . I’ve emailed support about the problem twice and literally zero response from them. It worked on Japanese in the US when I tested it, but for some reason it doesn’t recognize you’re a subscriber if you use it on Wi-Fi in Japan. I’m cancelling my subscription.

TranslateNow honestly isn’t bad and helped me tremendously on a recent trip to Peru. That being said...

Every day I have a new “notification” for nothing. Notifications pop up in my Notification Center and there’s always a little, red one on TranslateNow icon, but when I open TranslateNow I can’t find what the notification is for. There also isn’t an option to turn off these notifications. I think it’s a ploy to get OCD individuals, such as myself, to open TranslateNow everyday and generate ad revenue. I have uninstalled TranslateNow and caution anyone considering downloading it.

by JoeyMoss

I don’t know if I wasn’t using TranslateNow right but I noticed it had a hard time picking up on text that has been put into a more creative font (ie. a background picture) and it won’t let me flip my camera so it won’t pick up on other text. Other than that I haven’t found any other bugs.

This is honestly a great app and has great translation. But it does a few quirks with translation. I’m currently doing a parody account on twitter that speaks fluent English and French and wanted to spice things up. Here’s the mistranslation

English:
To establish peace, one must be pure. You have to be equal. My cure will cleanse you. This will eliminate all the idiosyncrasies of yourself. The world will be pure one day.

French:
Pour établir la paix, il faut être pur. Il faut être égal. Ma cure te purifiera. Cela éliminera toutes les particularités de vous-même. Le monde sera pur le jour.

When I retranslate from French to English it results to:

English(from French):
To establish peace, one must be pure. You have to be equal. My cure will cleanse you. This will eliminate all the peculiarities of yourself. The world will be pure during the day.

Anyways I will use TranslateNow continuously but can you guys just please mistranslation. That’s the biggest issue with these translation apps.

by ArandomeDude

Overall, this is a great app, but after using it, I found out about a pretty major flaw in TranslateNow . On the Apple Watch, while it is able to translate from English to Spanish, there is not option for translations from Spanish to English. I hope this issue will be addressed soon, so that TranslateNow would become more helpful to those that use it.

by Poke-a-Dors

I love how you can pick any language also the fact you can put in your own language to learn how to say it in another language! ♥️😩 I have been looking for an app like this one! 🥺 I also love how now I can say different language pronouncing to my friends and they’ll have no clue what I’m saying 😂I hope TranslateNow can stay on forever!!!❤️☺️🤞

by Vsquez

So i don’t really understand that much about the other languages, but its cool like i never seen an app like that! That knows all of the languages! Hmmm these people may be really clever and i siri doesn’t know all of the languages tho but TranslateNow does its the best

by Monbebe_25

I really like TranslateNow and find it useful, for anyone trying to break that language bearer I strongly recommend TranslateNow! So far it has been accurate with its translations. I hope for any future updates where the translated language has the option to be written out using the English letters( Japanese/Chinese/Korean ) ✌🏼

by Dezzgriff4life

In my personal opinion I think this is a really really good translator and are use this all the time when I have my grandpa over since he doesn’t speak the same language as me in this works extremely good it is awesome and easy to use

by SUPREME198

TranslateNow is awesome. Say for instance I would want to comment on someone’s video and they only knew a certain language I would just use TranslateNow I would translate the sentence I want to say then I would copy it to my keyboard and post a comment! TranslateNow is also super simple to use I love this!

by DDRRXXNN

At 86 yrs of age, I no longer buy green bananas, nor subscribe to anything that will be difficult to terminate post mortum. On the occasions when used, ” Translator “ has been entirely satisfactory, but please save my survivors the trouble to cancel in their time of profound grief.

I could find no option but to contact you via “review “.

TranslateNow is amazing you get to translate languages, and you don’t even have to pay!!! If I were all of you, I’d press 5 stars, and then, boom!! H
Whoever made this, amazing job. The only thing I would change is how fast the translation voice talks.
