It's just awesome! I love especially the vocal translation: push button, speak, listen (and read) translation in different language - Done. Also good if you need to tell somebody something in their language. Or take picture of a text (in picture, etc) translate all text or only chosen parts. So simple. It also works to crossover to other available languages, just pick the next language. Tip for developers: for learning purpose it would be great to be able to slow down the spoken translation.

An excellent dictionary showing the possible uses of words. I use this for individual words, but I still use Google Translate for sentences and phrases I don't know. One downside is that PONS has to restart every time you switch to another app, which is annoying when I'm adding a bunch of flashcards on my phone. But otherwise, really useful.

I use pons website all the time. But the app is disappointing. - After entering my text, once I get the translation, I cannot edit the text anymore, I must type it all from scratch even if I want to fix just one letter. - The colors are not soothing to the eye (in dark mode). The green is too vibrant.
