What users experience
1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.
This application performs adequately for translating text in platforms like WhatsApp and Instagram, however, it frequently struggles to render lengthy messages in their entirety. As a workaround, I often resort to Google Translate for more comprehensive translations.
