...and what is the app called?

Google Translate.

This is going to be funny... Google Translate and Weblio will take the idiom ”目に入れても痛くないもの" and say, "Put it in your eye and it doesn't hurt" instead of simply knowing that what the person wanted to say was "precious".

I know because I got an email recently from a woman who uses this kind of crap and is went:

"The absence was sorry, but the grandchild returned and one had to take care. The grandchild if put in the eye does not hurt, so nothing could be done. It is life. The meeting of each other can be carried out on a separate occasion."

You get a person who knows what they are talking about and you realize she was saying, "Grandkid came. Can't meet. Sorry. It happens. Catch up with you later."

These apps and programs are generally better than nothing, and those with good guessing skills can figure out what is meant, but the translations are rarely ever spot on except for the most basic words/phrases.
