    You think the app is good. As a beginner in Korean and a kpop fan, you sometimes struggle to understand the posts by artists on Weverse. But now, thanks to this app, everything is clear. You're grateful to Naver Papago.

    Using this app is really fun! It's so helpful and convenient for someone like me who loves K-pop. I'll definitely recommend it to my friends. But I have a suggestion - adding offline voice translation or a reader would make me even more thankful. I hope you think about it. Anyway, I'm just super happy that you made this app. Thank you! 💜

    This app really exceeded my expectations. I began learning Korean from zero just 10 days ago, so no one would anticipate me to be anywhere near native calligraphy skills. Surprisingly, the app accurately recognized my handwriting over 95% of the time. I appreciate Naver and the developers for their stellar work. I notice similarities between Korean and Hindi grammar. I'd easily rate this app 9 or 10 stars without hesitation. Excellent job once again, truly excellent job.

    Oh, so I found out about Papago from watching a live by BTS Jungkook. Then, I saw on my TikTok that Papago is really useful for traveling because it's more accurate than other translators. So, I decided to download it and it has been very helpful for me.

    I found this awesome app that helps me with my pronunciation. Sometimes, when I'm using it and someone is speaking, I encounter a problem where the sound stops and the app crashes. It won't play any sound afterwards. It would be great if this issue could be resolved because I truly enjoy using this app.

    Translating images or websites from Japanese is what I mainly use it for. In the past, the translations were pretty smooth, but recently the quality seems to be dropping. Even in clean and neat sentences without any mistakes, it sometimes cuts words in strange ways or adds spaces randomly. It also has trouble recognizing separated sentences. It's better than Google Translate, but the translation results are not that good, so these days I only use it as a supplementary tool. Voice recognition translation is also a bit disappointing.
