Pros and cons of Speak & Translate: Translator app for iPhone and iPad

Speak & Translate: Translator app good for

A very helpful device when Im teaching students with English as a second language.
My first impression is that this app is very easy to use and the translation it make is accurate. Im so pleased to have encounterd this app. Thank you.
Hi its a great application and I use it everywhere where I need it. Its really very useful and good job. Thanks to all to people who worked with it, It helps and assist me during my works. Thank you all again.
My Spanish is limited but with this app I am able to help so many more.
This is a great app. Its downfalls are that it doesnt know that some words in English have more than one pronunciation. Example: live If someone from Mexico should ask "Where do you live", the English comes back saying it like "Live, from New York, its Saturday Night" or "A cat has nine lives". The example in the last two sentences are said different than the first, making the syntax incorrect. The English language has many rules that should be followed. Of course, there is also some difference between American English, and the Queens English, but most rules are the same.
Ok, so not perfect but impossible to complain about minor issues. This is almost Star Trek like. I speak 3 languages but certainly not fluent. This is helping me take it to the next level. I am an ER doc and can use this with patients! Great job!

Some bad moments

On a one to one usage this app is good. When in a congegation and a minister is speaking the translation is lost and the true words do not come out correctly.
The free version did not work. Upgraded to the paid version. Same result. Unless selling the "pimp your screen" app is its purpose & function, and your screen needs to be pimped, worthless.
Not worth $9.99! Goggle translator which is free is more useful. This app is not useful and would take a lot of battery life. Wish I could get my money back
Im having a huge problem with this , it doesnt understand what I say. Half of the words I say are translated into other words, find another app!!! This shouldnt even be a free app! They should be paying me!!
Was happy with the English Spanish translation UNTIL I found out it requires a wifi or cellular data connection to work. Kinda useless when travelling to third world countries.
Bought this app for 11.99 thinking that it would work off line in remote places for that price. It doesnt. Very disappointed.
