Summary

This app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback from users, primarily due to its unreliable Safari webpage translation feature, which frequently fails to load or translate content, and has reportedly not been updated in over two years. Many users also express frustration with the subscription model, citing misleading 'free' advertising, instant trial expirations, and unexpected charges. While some past users recall 'high-precision translation' and a 'user-friendly interface,' the current consensus points to poor performance, slow loading times, and a general lack of functionality. Many users have labeled the app as 'useless' or a 'scam,' often advising others to use free alternatives like Google Translate.
