Translate Now - AI Translator

I have always loved learning languages but never became fluent. However as a driver for multiple rideshare companies this app has come in handy several times! 50 % of my passengers speak Spanish. Never have taken a Spanish class in my life and learned from living in CA I am always limited. Now I want to learn more. Plus my brother in law speaks Spanish, my sister in law speaks German and my friend speaks French. So while trying to learn more Spanish and brush up on my French this app comes in handy. Another reason why I love this app is because taking lessons whether in person or on app you aren’t going to learn certain worlds, slang, different dialects. So I have created a new technique to learn languages using this app. I will say the app does block profanity. For some reason I had recalled a word in Spanish but couldn’t remember what it was so I tried this app and the translation even showed ***** lol So I had to go another route. But overall especially as a rideshare driver, this app is life saver when communication has a language barrier.

It worked out well at first but after a couple of weeks it didn’t work out the way it used to I don’t know if it has to do with the app being updated or the iOS new 17 update but there used to be an icon in the top of your text that you just press and it would automatically change your text to the default language. But then it disappeared and the only way I could do it was by highlighting the entire text going to more and then selecting translations then going to insert translation. It wasn’t as easy as it used to be. Also it would be nice if when someone texts me it would what they said in other language and underneath it would show translation in your language this way it makes it easier to communicate with the other person, for faster and easier communication. But that’s just my opinion. It did do a good job with translation. But so does google translate and it seems to be taking just as long a that did so I unsubscribe from there service due to this issue. If this app gets better in the future I would love to give it another chance. This is my reason for a 3 star. Over all not bad, but it just didn’t flow as fast as I would have liked it to for the subscription that I was paying for that’s the only complaint I have.

For my Spanish 2 class we have to read an entire book in Spanish and then take multiple quizzes on each chapter that also happen to be in complete Spanish. This might not seem like a lot to most people but considering that for the past two years (one being completely online schooling due to Covid) all we’ve really learned is the most basic phrases, which isn’t even close to understanding an entire book. I’m Hispanic, but my parents didn’t teach me Spanish as a first language since they knew it would cause a big problem for me in school. They didn’t want me to go through the trouble of having to learn English, so Spanish wasn’t my first language. If I failed the quizzes, there’s no way I’m keeping the A I have in that class. This app literally saved my life. I just translated the entire book and quizzes to English. I know it’s cheating but I can’t just afford to fail, especially since my quince is coming up in a few months. My family is already spending like a bunch of money on it and I don’t want to end up with a 60 in one of my classes while they do all this planning for me.
