What users praise

  • Instant translation while reading plus auto flashcards — "the best thing for the internet after an ad blocker" for language learners
  • A natural way to learn through reading (Wikipedia in the target language); card export
  • Handles rare languages (Malayalam), 100k users

What users complain about

  • Bait-and-switch: single words are free, but phrase translation hits a limit/paywall
  • Poor TTS (Hindi); poor word-boundary detection (hopeless for Japanese)
  • Requires third-party cookies; few Indic languages; translations shove the paragraph instead of a popup
