iTunes Store shows customer reviews for app's last version only.

I believe that is not fair for users who spent their time and wrote a review that nobody (except the developer) can see.

Отличная идея и добротная реализация (2012-03-19) by VisualPharm

Кому нравится метод Ильи франка, тому понравится и эта программа. Работает отлично, видно, что автор делал "как для себя": придумал детали. Для редких языков, для которых нет подготовленных по методу франка книг, вообще незаменима. Спа-си-бо.

Amazing (2012-03-10) by Benjavi80

Extraordinary idea and execution; perfect for language learners. Cannot recommend it enough.

Нормально (2012-03-06) by Djkjlz112

Нормально работает

Works great with Wikipedia (2012-02-01) by BAR112

Haven't figured out yet how to read other websites, but seems to be a great tool for learning languages!

Good but... (2011-11-29) by Kevin Rothrock

Good app. But readability features are awkward with the top option bar swinging down whenever I tap on text to highlight. Also, would like a 'undo translation' option to clean up the text, like the browser extension can do. Would love the text-to-speech function to work for whole paragraphs/articles, not just individual words.

Comment from developer: Yes, I plan to implement this, follow issue #14

Readability function currently lousy (2011-04-12) by krothrock

The readability function used to be great, but the new pop up options are lousy, and it's impossible to highlight any text in that view, except for the title. Please fix this.

Comment from developer: This issue affects iPad only and is fixed in 3.2

Excellent for language learning (2011-04-03) by bbbozzz

I've found it a huge help. The interface is very simple and allows learning in context. I like to try sources covering the same topic in both the target and my native language. I would like to be able to change the target language without having to go into settings. As a bonus, I've found it works well with other browsers like Atomic as well

Comment from developer: In-app settings planned for version 4.0

A translator's dream 2011-03-24 by krothrock

Perfect for the student of any language. Useful even when already fluent, for particularly technical language.

A Must-Have for Learning a Foreign Language 2011-03-23 by Toothius

I am an intermediate learner of Spanish, and finally got the point where I wanted to learn new vocabulary by reading books in Spanish rather than try to memorize lists of words. I used the "Frankate" plugin for Safari on my computer and found it extremely helpful for translating Spanish news. The plugin, like the app, hooks in to Google Translate, which does a darn good job of translating, especially colloquialisms and expressions where one-to-one word translation doesn't always work.

When I decided to switch to ebook reading, I was disappointed with translating Spanish on the Kindle. Even after buying a decent Spanish-English dictionary for the Kindle, I'm limited to that one-word translation, which doesn't help with expressions and non-literal translations.

I was thrilled to find the Franker app, which I use with my iPhone. Now I find Spanish novels on the web and can translate on the go without being tied to my computer. The biggest complaint was that the app wouldn't run in the background and I kept losing my place. Now with the update to 3.1, that problem is solved. In addition, the app will now parse text to make it mobile formatted, and there's even a great text-to-speech feature for words I don't know how to pronounce.

All this for a buck? Unbelievable!

Perfect app 2011-03-18 by Beingchristof

Brilliant for French 2011-01-23 by Fizzicyst

In-line translation eliminates need to switch back and forth to a dictionary, wonderful both for learning and reading reference paged in French. Word by word translation usually very good, especially on news sites like LeMonde's where journalistic sentence structure is relative straightforward. But conveys gist & vocabulary well even in more complex reading, sentence-by-sentence really improves comprehension. App is very nicely designed, intuitive and easy to use.

Better than a pop-up dictionary! 2010-10-02 by rjtrudel

I'm using it to improve my Spanish reading and it functions fabulously. I used to cut and paste in openoffice and it was a pain trying to line up the text. If you download audio with transcripts you can use this to translate and then paste them into the lyrics section of iTunes. It gives literal translations using google translate, which results in a broken type English, but 99.9% of the time I know what it means since I already speak English. I really think it's better than a pop up dictionary because it's all right there. I just hope the developer will be enabling backgrounding, so I don't lose my translations when I switch to something else.

Great app if you are learning a foreign language 2010-08-10 by Edward Manchester

Simply amazing! I am learning Polish, and with this program it is very easy for me to read Polish language websites (with the English translation in green immediately following each sentence that is in Polish). Works with any language pair. If you are trying to learn a foreign language, you really must try this program. It will let you read the news in a foreign language without getting frustrated, and appears to be a very fast way of expanding your vocabulary. I wish I had this program years ago when I first started learning Polish.
