It's taking advantage of foreigners by requiring you to subscribe to a super expensive service just to translate pictures. 40,000 a month and only 50 pictures? I could maybe pay 10,000 a month and not feel bad towards the company. But the price is ridiculous. translation is a daily need for foreigners in Korea. Papago has always been fast. but now I'll just stick to chat gpt. ypu get more features for less cost.

Over all I have to say that this app is really good. It Was obviously built to be compatible with translating into Asian languages. It still needs some improvement in certain areas. But I have to emphasize that that is not a mark against it. I look forward to seeing how it improves in the future.

it's alright, but translation into Korean, I get a lot of puzzled, questioning looks..Image translation, I like that feature, on the go, for food menus, etc.. But, I get frustrated with talking into it, and having to rewrite the verbal text and with the texting, I seem to be slow and take long to type a constructive sentence.. hands are often out for my phone before I am even halfway done, only for the puzzled look and a similar puzzling response that one can🤞assemble in a reasonable answer.
