Not sure what's going on but it used to be pretty decent. Now it is using some weird voices and the speech is really slow. Even when checking/changing the settings. And now the translations aren't correct. Chinese to English. Looking for a new app so I can uninstall this one unless it gets fixed soon. There was an update and it seems to be working better. Voices are back to normal but still having some issues with translation not being correct.

Absolutely terrible forced random upgrade. I used this app all the time and never asked for a UI change. The number of clicks to access everything increased. Just one example: when typing Chinese, I have to minimize the keyboard in order for the Pinyin to show. The worst part for me is that when I switch languages, the keyboard doesn't automatically switch anymore. Luckily, I was able to uninstall and downgrade to the previous version. Edit: no history. No instant translate. Keyboard too big.

It has been okay in the past, but this new update made it so bad I ended up deleting it and using another apps translator. It had it's ups and downs, but now with the multiple translations (male and feminine) and the much larger typing area, you cannot even see what you are typing. On top of that, the "suggested" phrases of what you are trying to type automatically change what you are trying to translate, even if it's incorrect. Unfortunately, every time an update is done, the app gets worse.
