I'm a daily user who interacts with Spanish-speakers at work and home using translate apps. Good: It's simple to use. Neutral: It's basic and crudely gets the job done. Bad: Everything else. The translations are abysmal. Children are called "it" (not he or she), many words are gibberish, it misunderstands both the content AND context of messages, leading to guesswork between speakers, and it only uses a single female electronic voice for all languages, which is ridiculously primitive.

Translate is a phenomenal tool for traveling abroad. Between voice translation, camera translation and just basic typing translation, it made my trip to Japan worlds easier. The one thing I would change about it (and the reason I only gave it 4 stars) is, when it gives definitions for words, it should give them in the language that you're trying to translate *to*, not *from*. Defining words from a language I am not fluent in, in that same language, is not useful.

Used to be one of the most useful apps on my phone, the latest update this week has made it close to useless for real world use. It used to be very reliable and seemed to translate with pretty reasonable precision, even for my work at an auto parts store with technical, specific terms. The latest update has ruined translate because it will cut off mid sentence, on both sides of the conversation, with horrible, useless translations.
