"In the end? We're impressed. It's a neat app, and it does what it says it'll do in a way that's easily accessible and uncluttered."DVice.com

"The app works well in tourist or travel situations and it is useful in text translations you simply enter the text and the app processes it the same way. We used the apps in several Mexican and Japanese restaurants in the Houston area successfully carrying on conversations with the wait staff." CultOfMac.com

"You can literally have a conversation in a language that you do not know with this. If you have even the slightest need to work with people that speak a language that you dont regularly I would highly recommend this app to anyone." AppShouter.com

"Totally worth the price to have a pocket translator that even works in airplane mode! I would have spent way more in roaming fees using my old translation app while abroad."

"This is the best idea Ive seen in years for global communication."

"Amazing piece of work, Jibbigo! Worth every penny."

Customer Reviews

New version is much improved (5 stars)
The speech recognition in this version is noticeably better. That was the biggest issue with the previous version IMO, and now it's pretty good. The translation is also better. It's not always the optimal translation but it's rare that it's completely wrong. It should be practical to use this now abroad.

This version also fixes 2 smaller issues. There is a unique icon to distinguish it from the other Jibbigo apps. And there is an op

Nope (1 star)
Voice recognition is inaccurate. So is the translation. You can't go *right* with this app. I want my money back.

Better speech recognition... (4 stars)
A useful app, but needs serious work with speech recognition, esp for situations where there is background noise. Though some of the wacky translations can be great icebreakers.
