Cons
Con Poor translation accuracy
Google Translate does well with single words, but takes a very literal approach to translating sentences.
Con Only one voice
Only female voice, no option to change it to make. Or use external tts engine.
Con Unnatural voices
Voices are very unnatural
Con No voice input offline
You can use the Camera and can type, but you cannot talk to translate if you're offline.
Con Free version contains ads
The Pro version has no problem. Alternatively, the fdroid version works as well, though it might be annoying to those who want cloud integration because the fdroid version doesn't have cloud integration.
Con No way to set a "home" folder
You have to press the back button a ridiculous amount of times to exit the app and then browse back to your books when you want to read again later.
Con Cannot reverse PDF reflow to return to normal view without exiting the PDF and opening again
Very annoying when you want to view graphics and tables etc.
Con Some times adds blank pages after an image
Con Flips pages by itself, cannot get it to stop
