The main selling point, translation in our own voice, doesn’t work at all. It doesn’t even try to work. You read their speech while holding the microphone button and nothing happens at all. The translation feature is unusable: tiny buttons, and you have to press the tiny start button to start, a different tiny button to stop. And then it gives you the first the 15 words and hides the rest, with no way to get at the rest of the translation besides exporting the text to another app! So it’s not a useful tool for translation of any kind. And I had to pay $3 just to find out how worthless it is.
