In Japan This app does not work well if at all Google is free and better but still not great I didn t find out until my money was already wasted     DO NOT BUY WASTE OF MONEY ',$)654;(:./-2

Have only used for Chinese but it got me through my first trip to China with very few problems                     Chinese to English RickyRocGod

Translated random words into sentence that makes absolutely no sense     Funny but not useful Kasiagfvsidjjy

I use this app every time I go to China No need to ask for English menu as long as you have a good connection                     Awesome app Steve Crago

Very awesome wish I had it when I lived in China                     Great app Ryan from RI

I am in Japan and I ve tried to use this app for translating Japanese on many occasions I upgraded to the paid version The translations are really poor Many things completely not food related translate into food items For example there s fatty tuna all over the place Food items on a menu seem to translate much quicker and seemingly more accurately Maybe that s where the developers focused their attention I have used it on some Chinese characters with the Chinese translation and that seems to occur much more quickly and accurately Unfortunately I cannot recommend this app except as an emergency back up to avoid eating anything you d rather not eat     Frustrating for Japanese ClovisKid4321

I ve been using it in Tokyo and it doesn t work super well pretty finicky Google translates camera function works better most of the time         Not great Longstoryfan99

The app can t seem to recognize 75 of the text I focus on and the few times it does recognize it the translations are poor     Can t read or translate KrazyCooter

It does not translate everything that i have gave it but most of it i bought the full version and overall happy i take screen shots and open app and works fast                 Chinese Puttertheklown

Bad I NEED THIS APP FOR CHINESE CLASS AND IM NT GOING TO PAY SO MAKE IT BETTER     Limited scans Thebrickboy00

The app isn t perfect but it s close All you have to do is point your camera at Chinese characters and like waiving a magic wand the pinion and translation pop up Very helpful for figuring out menus the buttons on washers and air conditioners and airport signs                 Helpless without e.vars

I used Waygo at Chinese restaurants many times in the United States It works great every time I love how it shows images of the food as well so I can get some ideas of what the food would be like Love it                     Great app Sumi f.

Thanks for making the app                     Looking for such an app for years Doudouqi

Very interesting app hope to see Japanese or Korean to Chinese in the future                     Very interesting henry.dea

Super helpful when I go to unfamiliar restaurants                     I like it Very simple and useful weiduck

I have a Korean nanny and she said it was wrong when it tried to translate potato dumpling powder in Korean     Horrible AudritheDEVIL

Does not work at all Cant predict the translation     Issues Jim2104

I live in Chongqing China and use this app all the time in the local restaurants I live by it It has never failed me when reading a printed menu                     Almost daily use Coming home China

I like it but 10 translations per day is too less                     Good app Dashuuki

I used this app whilst in Japan for vacation and paid for the full upgrade The app was pretty much useless in translating menus and other basic items I do not recommend     Terrible translations Baalie

This app may only work with machine printing Hand written characters are not recognized     Disappointed deysareus

10 3 IOS it DOES NOT work Fix it or refund money     10 3 IOS it DOES NOT work Fix it or refund money wildbill92

If the characters I am trying to translate are at least 1cm tall and black on white I have had pretty good luck getting an understandable translation If the text is small and very tightly spaced not so much I have taken to carrying a couple of white plastic cards notched so I can use them to letterbox the characters of interest This helps but the app still struggles Also I have best luck with Chinese writing this in Taiwan then Japanese and finally Korean             It has limitations but it works sometimes TheDustyWalker

I use this app when I m in China It s perfect                     Great app Buffalodent

Live in China Doesn t work for most fonts Very awful recognition I m better off using Baidu translate and typing each character out into my phone 10 10 would not recommend wasting your time and money     Does not work for Chinese Carly5255555

I m sorry but it just is I used to have a Nokia 1520 that would do the job IMMEDIATELY so I know that the technology exist and this is not it     Useless sacatetuco

I ve had no luck with this app Doesn t work well for Korean at all Can t get it to work 99 5 of the time     No luck warren70

I ve lived and worked in Japan for years and have had this app for a long time now It has never translated anything I needed ever Today I needed a few very simple Kanji translated from an appliance I ve studied Japanese for years but I did not know a couple simple Kanji My wife Japanese helped me saying these were 2nd grade Kanji and was very surprised an app advertised with this capability could not recognize it Try it if you want just be warned that it WILL NOT help you when you need it and for the love of God don t use it as a study aid as when if ever it does give a result it will either be totally incorrect or very strange A perfect example of this would be a string a kanji and hiragana but like only recognizing some characters that it translated to make another word etc In English it would be like seeing translate but the app only sees the letters ran in the word and confidently telling you that ran is what that word says     Does not work for Japanese rebooker

Great for translating menus and instructions in Taiwan Must have a steady hand for some but otherwise it s worth the buy                 Great app for traveling Cawabear

I also use it to translate text in some pictures posted on WeChat                 Very helpful for signs and menus BillGlennieNH

Overall an amazing technology We didn t need to use it as much as we thought we would but it at least gives you a general idea what the meaning is finding out the dish is some sort of chicken for example Pretty cool to use                     Not perfect but Games80

Often the app has trouble reading the text But even when it can the translations are often hilariously off For example definitely in Japanese became sea bream Nice concept but wouldn t dare to use this in real life Also the 10 trial translations are quickly consumed when the app is rapidly reading and translating gibberish as you center the camera on the text     Cool idea but wrong translations Mmmmmppppp

This app has horrible translation Most of the time it translates a word into food even if it has nothing to do with food If you want luck in Korea translations avoid this app and try google translate Still not terrific but much better than this app     Horrible translation nickmcdru

The program works a lot better than you would expect I build a lot of Japanese model kits that come with easy to follow step by step instructions but the side tips color codes and other miscellaneous information is in Japanese I use Waygo to translate this and find it to work quite well                 Very Helpful Self proclaimed critic

The Korean translations for this app are ridiculous Always gibberish and nearly always food even if you aren t looking at the words yet It will translate the surroundings into nonsense and completely fail to translate real words     Why even have Korean then Diffindo 5

Can t even use the app because it crashes when I try to select a language to translate from Useless     Crashes at startup Jay3373

Just what this non Chinese speaker needs as I make my way in my new home in Shanghai I recommend upgrading because it s almost addictive translating characters to understand the environment It s also a useful tool for language acquisition                     No longer in the dark China2Becky!

Does not work well for Japanese to English And the trial with just a few rounds of translating before having to upgrade is not useful I need way more testing just to properly evaluate it Don t bother Get a Japanese friend or coworker to translate     Not useful Long time user 3880
