Great app, but in the last several months, the offline language packets are not functioning correctly and the app will not let me offline translate, unless I first click on a starred (saved) translation and then change to the needed language fields, then write in my desired translation (and sometimes that glitches as well). For work, I come across people who speak various languages and connecting even briefly with them means a lot, but also is a difference maker in an emergent situation.

Helpful at times, but constant issues. If you have an intermittent connection, it won't work even if you've downloaded the language to use offline. You save phrases once you find the right context, then it will completely change the context of the word when you revisit. Sometimes, it even just gives you the completely wrong translation. Incredibly inconsistent.

I'm very glad with this app, although I have one suggestion - Maybe it will be a good idea to have a switch between formal and casual translating. For example sometimes I want to translate a sentence and it to come out as casual, and sometimes I want to write to a institution or a person I don't know and want to have a formal translation. (For example in German language)
