I’ve tried many translation apps and this one has definitely been the best. Translates web content very quickly in Safari, and will export the text in new language into other programs…. Super helpful. Translations seem to be about as accurate as Google, but honestly haven’t closely compared. Just love the functionality of this program specifically, and only use this one.

How about native speakers saying the phrase?

Ok, I haven’t had this app very long and it looks pretty decent in what I’ve tried to use it for. However... it would be nice to have a native speaker say the phrase of the language? I tried Maori and it was a man with a notable ‘British’ accent, the same speaker and accent used for the English phrase while I was trying to figure out how to get the app to say the Maori phrase. Yes, that would be a lot of work to add in, but for those of us learning languages, it would be nice to hear a more authentic accent. I would also be nice to have an audio of both phrases versus just the audio of the phrase showing up on the top row. I had English wanting to hear it in Maori, so the English was showing on top. When I switched the langague (what gets translated) I at first got English twice. I had to copy the Maori, switch the languages around to get Maori as the language to be translated into English. On the first try, the audio stayed with the English, then when I copied and pasted I got the ‘British’ male speaking Maori with a a ‘British’ accent. Didn’t try other languages to see if that was consistent across other languages. Important details for those using the app to help learn a language!

This app is excellent and functions exactly as advertised. However, the $6 monthly subscription fee is difficult to justify for my usage pattern. I primarily use it for a limited number of sites—probably fewer than five—and often go a week or two without needing it at all.While I understand the developer likely invests time in updates and maintenance, the current pricing model doesn't align well with my intermittent use. For users like me, who appreciate the app but don't require it daily, a lifetime subscription option would be ideal.The app's quality is undeniable, and I'd be more inclined to make a one-time purchase for long-term access. This would allow me to support the developer's work while better suiting my occasional usage needs. I hope the developer considers introducing a lifetime subscription tier, as it would make the app much more accessible for users with similar usage patterns to mine.

The developers listen to their customer base and that has to be applauded! The latest update got rid of all connections to analytics domains and now the app is truly a private alternative to Google Translate (as well as being a better translator in my opinion). I will buy the Mac version and recommend Mate to my friends. Great job, developers!Update: the app's privacy policy is reassuring to a point, but the developers still make use of Amplitude Analytics. While this is much better than Google analytics, it is still a dealbreaker to me as I refuse to use any apps that connect to analytics domains. Please consider adding an option to turn off all analytics. The vast majority of users will leave them on, but it will reassure the privacy conscious among us. Thank you.
