PONS Translate Customer Insights

1. Also on IOS devices, the same problem.No internet connection error is just so annoying and I have the premium version so I can be able to see the translation even with the error but it is not enough.

2. It doesn't connect to the Internet, it says that there are no translations available, and, in the rare cases it does work, it's become incredibly slow.

3. Apart from ads blocking big chunk of the screen I also get commercial video playing after I search for a word, and after that it throws an internet connection error.

4. 7 out of 10 times, I get an error message "cannot connect to the internet" even on the best of networks (Wifi and Mobile data both).

5. Tip for developers: for learning purpose it would be great to be able to slow down the spoken translation.An excellent dictionary showing the possible uses of words.

6. Recently it basically stopped working entirely, I only get an error message that no translation was found, even though the app itself suggested the word while typing.

7. Pity.Error "cannot connect to the internet" has been occurring for a long while now, without a fix.

8. It's just awesome! I love especially the vocal translation: push button, speak, listen (and read) translation in different language - Done.

9. 3 stars for when it used to be helpful during a language course.The app requires cache cleanup frequently as it keeps claiming having no network connection despite being connected.

10. Really I thought that is a great app but this issue should really be fixedAt first I rated this App with 5 stars, because it is excellent with the translation, especially with German.

11. It's sad that devs ruin a perfect app with useless updates that ruin UX.This used to be my go-to dictionary, and I have happily paid for the ad-free version for several years.
