I have used Google Translate for many years and some of the recent changes have frustrated me immensely. I use this primarily for Chinese language and often use the camera feature. Lately, it seems the app will not faithfully transcribe what is displayed, but will change the characters displayed. I can’t trust that the AI hasn’t decided to substitute what is displayed with something different and perhaps has changed the meaning, by even a slight, but significant amount. A faithful transcription will allow me to puzzle out what the meaning may by allowing me to review the characters displayed, not the characters that have been substituted. Also, with the same feature, I used to be able to view the characters in the photo and choose which characters to translate, but now, I can only choose the translated segments. If there is a way to view an untranslated version, other than sending it to the home page (with the already unreliable transcription of what is displayed), I haven’t figured it out.

This app is so easy to use, accurate (e.g., when next train is coming), has real-time updates (e.g., line closures due to strikes - and there are so many! - or construction), etc. Two of my *favorite* features? Because this app is made by the RATP itself (i.e., real locals on the ground), it knows how critical it is to tell you not only which metro stop to use, but also precisely which of the many numbered exits at such metro stop to use, and which metro cars (e.g., front, middle, end of the train) you should choose in order to be closest to said exit upon arrival. For example, at a HUGE and complicated station like Chatelet, where multiple lines meet, and different exits can themselves be several minutes’ walk apart, this is verrry useful to know. Also, you can buy tickets and top up metro passes (I believe you need to first *have* a rechargeable metro pass to do either task) on the app itself - so convenient! I’ve spent tons of time in Paris as both a temporary resident and a tourist since the ‘90s (the days of using my Paris Par Arrondissement and my paper(!) Carte Orange to get around) - this app is a revolution!

Close to useless. Schedule is inaccurate. Recharging the transit card kind of works, but it is not possible to buy the same options, like zone 4-5, as in the machines at the station and they don't fix it for years. I'm standing in the snow currently, all the messages are green, and the either can't or don't bother to update the information. How bizarre!
