8 of 25ik this isn’t a review but just wanna say the new icon is GORGEOUS omg and the way you did it for all of them is a chefs kiss, keep up the good work google
I love learning this for Spanish languages, but it won’t let me know what kind of Spanish I wanna use, like for example, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin American), Spanish (Mexico), Spanish (Chile), and Spanish (Argentina). It just randomly does it for me. I don’t understand this at all. So next time you do the update in the future, can you put like all the AI Spanish languages so I can know to learn the Spanish from all the states? And this isn’t a force request, but I would really do appreciate it. Thank you so much.
I learned some Albania from this app
Stop recording conversation after a two second pause. should be able to override that. And have it set if we choose for continuous recording the person speaking. Not a good app
My only problem with the app is if I’m typing a word, an auto correct or suggestion might pop up and I can’t stop it from changing the word. It can be very frustrating to constantly have to retype words and there’s no way to turn it off.
You used to be able to switch back and forth between the original language and translation with a touch of a button. Now they have added extra steps, and made it harder. Nice job.
Live translate never works
So besides the app being very useful I have four languages that hopefully can get on the list and they are- 1.Ingush: Similar to Chechen, closest relative to Chechen. 2.Adyghe: Spoken in Adyge Republic in Russia. 3.Gagauz: Spoken in southern Moldova, but is almost extinct, it is a Turkic language. 4.Dargin: Spoken in Russia, Dagestan. And these are the four languages that hopefully will be in future updates, and hopefully Gagauz will be on the list soon, before it becomes extinct language. And hopefully thanks for understanding me.
