Wish I had Google Goggles again...

I expected this app would work just as well as Google Goggles, but I was wrong. It won't translate anything properly, especially the Japanese text on an antique that I bought the app specifically for. A huge waste of $4; I don't know who's giving this five stars...
Great translator app!

This app is simple and intuitive to use. I'm really amazed with its load of advanced features. Moreover it shows great accuracy.
Amazing for trips!!!

This is a must have Utility app if you are traveling to a foreign country! If you can't read a sign or something, just open up Worldictionary and it uses the camera to translate that word! The best feature is that you can save a picture with multiple sentences on it and then go back later and select certain words to translate. Great if you need to refer back to a foreign message or when you're studying! It would be even better if you could select multiple words at once! This app is worth way more than the 3.99! Everyone with an iPhone should have this app!!
Great!

This app does everything it says it does in the description very fast and smoothly. I have been using it to read a book written in Spanish. Fun and easy, great design. Looking forward to future updates!
Good app!

This is a great app, and is very useful, but photos aren't always very accurate, and sometimes, I had to change what the app thought a photo was. Sentence recognition is good, but it took so long to get the actual result, that it would have been faster to just type what it said. The translation for whole sentences after they were recognized was good, though. Overall, this is a good and useful app, but it needs some slight improvements.
Translation from Japanese to English is horrible.

Do NOT buy if you're trying to find an app that translates Japanese.
Incredible camera dictionary

This is an application the will translate one language to another by viewing the text in real life via the camera. I am so shocked that this is possible and am extremely impressed by this technology. I was able to point the camera at Japanese and it showed me the translation without me having to enter stroke order or have any kind of knowledge. For someone who travels or is learning a language, this can be seriously useful and save a lot of time. For example, if you are in Tokyo, this could translate street signs or food items on a menu. How incredible is that! There are a few minor flaws, such as not the greatest selection of languages to choose from. Luckily, for more “obscure” languages, there are ones available for an additional purchase. This is strange since the app is pretty pricey already. Also, when selecting things, such as languages, there Is no “done” button. Sometimes I found myself confused how to confirm a change with various options because of this. So not the most user friendly app out there, but an incredible advancement in technology that I highly recommend for anyone – there is a free version to try!
Useless

Useless app. Can only translate one word at a time and requires several seconds of keeping camera absolutely still to do so. Translating an entire sentence or paragraph would take so long that you would forget the meaning of the first words by the time you got to the last. Keeps no useful record of previously translated words, so you couldn't string together a whole phrase, even if you did have the patience to individually translate each word. App claims to translate a photo of a paragraph, but still only does it one word at a time (you have to tap each word in the photo one at a time to get a translation of that word only). Also, it is only able to correctly recognize about 50% of the words in any photo. Finally, it only works with an Internet connection, so if you only have wifi, you probably won't be able to use it when you need it. I am very sorry I spent my money on this.
Beware of fake reviews!

Look elsewhere if you're searching for an app that can translate Japanese! Haven't tried it with other languages but it's totally useless when attempting to decipher Japanese.
Great app

This app is quite wonderful actually. The idea is also very original. I love the usefulness of this app. This app is a must have for travelers to foreign countries.
