★★★★★ "TERRIBLE. This is the worst app for recording. After I works on a recording for about 20 minutes, it said I have to pay money just to download it! I have to pay money to record myself? No thanks. 1 star." - KM-RN3

★★★★★ "Looks like it is a scam. I tried this app and while it works OK, it has time limits so it won’t work for me. When I signed up, there was a three day free trial yet they charge me anyway and Apple won’t refund my money. Steer clear." - DrewsDad665

TERRIBLE
This is the worst app for recording. After I works on a recording for about 20 minutes, it said I have to pay money just to download it! I have to pay money to record myself? No thanks. 1 star.
Poor App
Basic conversation - a lot of the recording was mis-transcribed and unable to be utilized for transcription analysis and breakdown it was that accurate. Not worth the $9.99/mo or the annual rate. App need further work for accuracy.
stops recording
randomly stopped recording when computer went to sleep. not helpful
Horrible app
dont use this app
so helpful
I'm older and FINALLY finding something to help me learn how to apply the new A.I. is exciting. Thank you
Scam
No obvious way to cancel your subscription. Trying to steal your money when all IOS devices already have a voice memos.

This is the worst recorder ever! I gave it several different recordings
Recodings that were made up of hours and some many minutes and the thing only returned repeated words over and over on all of them. And the words were not even of that in the recordings! Save you time and/or money! That's for sure and a fact something you should do!
Not helpful
This product has a 3 day free trial and then is 39.99 per month.
Took forever. Huge chunks incorrect
Yes, it's a big file. But it literally took almost 3 hrs to transcribe, where others I used afterward took less than ten mins.
Most frustrating part is that HUGE chunks of audio didn't transcribe at all. Just one sentence repeated endlessly.
So disappointed

Still charges you after cancellation
I downloaded the app, found it didn’t have the feature I needed, and then cancelled the free trial the same day.
They went ahead and still charged me somehow once the trail period ended.
I have never had this problem when I cancel well ahead of the trial period renewal period. I went in and found out that they didn’t cancel my subscription from their end even though my subscription is over in the Apple app.

Consistently drops whole chunks
When it works, it works well. But it consistently drops chunks of text. And it's not posible to tell when it cut out while recording because when the text freezes, I don't know: is it just delay but the recording continues, or did it totally freeze? Usually, it's the latter.
Too many steps
Everything requires way too many taps and prompts to be useful. Had to toggle through way too many screens for workflow t be helpful.
Ideally i would have been able to transcribe in real time, and easily pause in real time as needed- but instead i ended up with 20 different clips that were effectively a part of the same voice memo and subject, and all of which had to be transcribed separately afterwards, then exported.

Coverage across devices
The recordings and transcripts are not available across apple devices. So one is stuck with the device where the original recording and transcription is recorded.
