Latest reviews of Jspeak – Japanese translator app for iPhone and iPad

Not free
Only 5 times then over ¥4,000 a year? No thanks!
Expensive subscription, clunky UI
I do not recommend this app. If I could break this zero stars, I would. The subscription fee is extremely steep considering that Google translate does the exact same thing (and more!) for free. The user interface is quite cluttered, and is a bit clunky. The loading times are long, so if you were using this app to communicate with a foreign person, there would be a lot of awkward pauses well it interprets the translations. Dont bother with this app, just use Google translate.

Not bad back when it was free to download and use. Now it is not free to use. I have had this app for a long time and was not even grandfathered in to keep using it for free. Greed ruins so many things and this is a perfect example.
