Pros and cons of CamDictionary app for iPhone and iPad

CamDictionary app good for

German2English and English2German works perfect. The direct translation is very good, but taking a clear picture of a A4 text and translating it is challenging. However is better then other apps I tried, so I decided to buy the full version.
It is very powerful and handy. It takes photo with a good quality and reads the texts correctly.
It is amazing when it recognize the languages automatically, very cool!
It works surprisingly great! Easy to understand and get the job done!
Gooooood app. Just to snap a picture and then you will get the translations. … Pretty good...
An innovative application! Make the camera and translator perfect!

Some bad moments

I bought it and it doesnt work on my Ipad2. I want my money back. They have not responded to my problems. No support. What a joke!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont waste your money. Still no response to my request for help. Crooks.......
Here is the truth. I am not a friend of the developer. Bad. Very bad. So many bugs, I dont know where to start. So I wont. Save your money!!!
Hello developer,can u plz make translate engine with google? Without it the translation is unusable.make us rate your apps 5star.Looking forward for it.Hope it might be ok .
I purchased the full app and Oxford dictionary for Japanese and although translations are good enough: * there is no way to know the pronunciation of the translated characters * Oxford dictionary can translate less than 10% of the words I was looking for * When it translates, the information given by the dictionary are under the level of information you would have in other free dictionaries I dont recommend to purchase the app but just use the free version, you wont get more value buying it.
Absolute garbage. Take this off the store before I go there myself and kill everyone with a baseball bat.
Though I love the idea of having this utility on hand at all times, it simply cant recognize many of the images I scanned. Things like non-standard fonts will not read correctly, no matter how long I try to focus on them.
