Ratings and Reviews
Great!
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.

Great having you with us!
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!
Lifetime Option
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.
