Useless when in Japan

We hoped to get some useful results from the app during our trip in Japan. So far it has proven to be quite useless, it has obvious problems translating and if it does manage to translate it provides varying results. A waste of money!

Useless

Identifies less than 5% of the words. We got farther by simply learning the words for different kinds of meat, because this app is not even capable of recognizing "beef" on a consistent basis.

Great app

Super useful on my trip to Japan

Not good

認識精度イイです。

文字認識精度が良いです。 カメラだけでなく、手入力も対応して欲しいです。それができたら他のアプリに切り替えずに、これ一つでいけるので★5です。

Zero Stars, doesnt work

This app doesnt work in any of the different modes: single line, multi line, or capture. I tried all modes with 10 different recipes captured and translated from Japanese to English. None of them worked and the translations were so far off, I thought this app was a joke and deleted it.

GREAT idea - needs work!

Gave it 2 stars instead of 1 because it is such a great idea. Tried to translate a fire extinguisher sign in a Japanese apartment and got "love struck" as a translation. I know this Kanji and the translation is not accurate. I tried to use different camera angles to improve the translation...but quickly ran out of free translations. I would gladly pay double the asking price, if it worked -- but, sadly, I cannot use this app. The translations are horrible.
