4 stars: Although I have no other experience with other translation apps. Mainly because this app works fairly well. Translation is quick and concise. Only reason I did not give it 5 stars was sometimes the voice recognition would not translate the final word or two causing me to have to type it in which is very inconvenient when you're translating on the fly for the person that doesn't speak the same language.
3 stars: I use this with high school students and it can be incredibly helpful. I know Burmese has been added to google translate on the web, but is not yet available in the app. When I can use it with my students from Myanmar (my second most common population of non-English speaking students) then I will increase the rating. But for now I'll keep it at a three.
3 stars: The audio input won't stay on long enough to listen to the entire sentence. I'm not talking about long and complex ones, just a normal length sentence which I'm saying over the course of 2-3 seconds. The audio input stops after 1-1.5 seconds into recording me and then the app translates only a portion of what I meant to say and after trying 5 times, you just want to smash the phone. Kind of annoying.
4 stars: it's a good translation app. However, due to the Japanese language often omitting the subject and object of sentences and due to lack of AI Contextual Understanding and lack of AI Situational Awareness, it can make mistakes. um... it's not translating or \
3 stars: +/- ok but frust...
