Couldn't log and support was no help
Most frustrating experience I've ever had. Couldn't login, kept saying email and password didn't match even though they were correct. Tried to change password- just in case - kept saying can't reach server. But I entered an incorrect password just to test it and it said password not in our system so it was able to connect. Call support but got less than no help from them. How's less than no help possible? They transferred me all around and I wasted two hours of my life on this product that won't work and no one really seemed interested in fixing it - though they'd been well trained to say they were sorry I was having a problem.
Maybe it works for other people but I can't access it and it just left me incredibly annoyed and frustrated.

Dragon anywhere is just about the same as Dragon naturally speaking
I gave the app three stars instead of five because the Dragon anywhere program is just about as attentive to what you say to it as the online or on desktop program. Even if I follow the directions that come with the app the command still don't seem to work as they're supposed to. I wasted a lot of time today trying to get this thing to work properly. I think it's generally a good product, just not as good as Nuance tells us it is. Their support system is also pretty bad. Well her products are good customer support is very bad.

Well worth the money
This app has been so useful to me, my arms, my hands, and my shoulders thank the creators. Lol. The insertion of punctuation, as well as the lack of grammatical occurrences, and the ability to recognize these types of hours is quite useful differentiates this app from others like it. I doubt that you will be disappointed if you work in any type of field where you have to draft lengthy correspondences and are constantly restricted to your cell phone, where spelling and grammar go off and I noticed, and many times are corrected in ways that one would not want. Buy it, you will not be sorry.

Stop turning the mic off
I commute and would like to write while I'm driving. Writing is hard enough to start as it is, I don't need my dictation app turning the mic off after 20 seconds and giving me an excuse to stop. I do not care if it is taking up space in a data center or whatever weak excuse there is for it, just stop doing it. For $15 a month, you can afford it. The mic should stop when I tell it to stop and start when I tell it to start, which brings me to my next gripe. I can't turn the mic on by voice command while I'm driving, I have to press the on-screen mic button... let me stress this, While I'm Driving. There needs to be options to operate Dragon Anywhere completely hands free. Otherwise good app but currently hyper-frustrating.

Major flaw!
I purchased/committed to the trial of Dragon anywhere. While I find it to be effective in dictating there are significant editing limitations. For example, I had dictated all my clinical notes as a trial the software. Somewhere along the way several paragraphs of notes deleted. I found no way to restore the hour of work of writing/dictating that was lost. In fact, while working to restore the lost paragraphs, I lost the final two paragraphs. As I see, there is no way to restore un-edit or undo typing, via Dragon anywhere. The risk then becomes in the event that you make a notable error there does not present to be any easy or simple way to restore the document or typing it was lost. I will and my subscription today because of this error/inability, fearing that such could happen again.
I use Dragon for Mac extensively in my clinical practice, finding it to be ineffective way to dictate charts/clinical notes. I was hoping that Dragon anywhere would provide similar feature, without having to lug around a computer and headset to do my notes. Maybe in the future Nuance will figure this out, but at this point I would not recommend this program.

Couldn't write without it
This app was exactly what I was looking for. I am an author and I found that the long hours on the keyboard was killing my hands. I already have carpal tunnel, but didn't want to have surgery. This app has kept me from doing that and so far the last book I wrote was through this app. It is so worth the money and much better speech recognition than the desktop programs I have tried from this company and others. Now my hands don't hurt and my output has doubled. Who can beat that?!

An amazing example of just what technology can do!
I've been using this product for about six months. It still amazes me with its accuracy and the overall ease of use. I have only given it four stars because I really want them to find a better way to integrated into the rest of the iOS ecosystem. At present, it relies upon you copying text from the dictation notepad into the application you want to use. It does support sending email directly from within the application, but I haven't found that quite as convenient when you are replying to someone's email.
Leaving that aside – because a big part of that problem is just the rules which Apple enforces for application separation – I have to say that I find this product quite astounding. It has really changed the way I work. I travel with an iPad mini, and this allows me to work very productively without the need for any external keyboard.
If you think you would find this product interesting I recommend that you sign up for the trial. See how much you make use of it, and then decide whether it's worth the $15. That is what I did, and I then signed up for a years worth of service.

Unbelievable beyond my Expectation
I was hesitant to pay 15 dollars per month for a mobile ability to dictate. I have used dragon for the past 10 years and I love it. It's technical in the beginning but once u train it, it works. Now this little app beats anything I have ever used to document. All u do is sign up and bam u are documenting. It recognizes ur voice without training.
The only cons so far after a day of use is the commands are not easy and some won't work but I can stop and format how I like. I'm sure once I've been using longer won't be an issue. The other thing when u stop to correct a text it does jump u to the end of the page if u do not turn mic off.
I have to say as sad as it is, all I need in life is my mobile dragon and my Netflix at the same great price. I won't even think twice about paying for this app!!!!!! Lol
