I’ve been using this translator for quite a while now but when I opened it just earlier, it loaded for only 1-2 secs then automatically exit the app. I don’t know the exact reason why it does this but when I tried to open it a multiple times, the same thing happened. Please try to solve this as soon as possible thank you!
I prefer the older version of Papago
yan.woo
I just recently updated the app. What happened to the older better version? A week before or so. Before, this app translates words or phrases more accurately or it makes more sense than it is now. It’s nothing different from google translate. Actually, Google translates it even better and it makes more sense compared to Papago. Also, Papago has that dictionary-type thingy below for each words, thus it’s easier to understand and learn the language. You used to break it down word by word with definitions. And you give examples too. Please bring back the older version or improve the present version of this app. Coz it doesn’t make sense anymore as to why I have to download this app if google could translate it even better. Right?
Awesome 👏
BLANK😐
This app is actually really good at translating and despite it being really good at translating it’s also FREE😍(just like what the other people say)But I really hope that you will add a new feature where it would also translate an image in a website because it would really be usefulI also hope that I could translate videos with thisAnd also sometimes the translations don’t really make sense at all:( but it makes sense again after I translate it again so overall it’s a really incredible app😊
Very good
