### 1/5 — DOESN'T EVEN WORK!

*2023-03-05*

Paid for the pro subscirption and it doesn't even register. keeps freezing. it's not my computer or OS. 

can't even use the software and you took my money. Absolute trash. 

Back to Premiere Pro it is I guess.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-01-08, version 1.0.4*

Drag and Drop does not work; import video fails.  Useless, waste of my time to download and try this app.

### 1/5 — Subscribed, and can't even use it.

*2022-10-04, version 1.0.4*

Stuck in an endless loop of the app asking me to upgrade to pro, and when I try, it says you're already subscribed. It won't let me transcribe anything..

or it just freezes entirely.

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2022-05-13, version 1.7.1*

Cannot caption without subscribing.

### 3/5 — Restoring Description Error Continues

*2021-12-16, version 1.7.1*

So a few weeks ago it would not allow me to caption videos without the watermark even though I have a paid subscription. I attempted to ‘restore subscription’ repeatedly and it did not work. Finally, after deciding to rant about it on a FB I got a message saying it was being worked on. Within 2-3 days it was working again. I replied I was overjoyed and got back to work. Yesterday, the same “restoring subscription’ message return. Once this month’s subscription is finished I’m cancelling. In fact, going to make content to suggest the same.

### 2/5 — SLIGHTLY USER-FRIENDLY BUT NOT THE BEST APP

*2021-04-12, version 1.0.4*

Transcription service not so good. Although I didn't have to make too many adjustments to the words, I was unable to make any edits to the timing if the sync was off. Also I hate that it automatically capitalizes every word at the beginning of the first line and when trying to change this, it doesn't save. In addition, the system doesn't allow use of apostrophe's in words.

### 1/5 — Scam don't bother

*2021-01-30, version 1.6*

Horrible UI and is only paid app.

### 1/5 — DON’T DOWNLOAD! SCAM!

*2021-01-19, version 1.6*

I tried to translate with captions but i had to subscribe in order to do it. I subscribed to the premium and tried a total of 27 times but every time it told me I needed to upgrade still??? I thought my phone was glitching so I restarted it. It was the apps fault.

### 1/5 — Not for me

*2020-12-03, version 1.5.3*

Rubbish, as soon as I started updating the CC parts of the sentence disappeared as I watched the preview.

### 1/5 — Too much editing needed after and still gets it wrong

*2020-11-26, version 1.5.3*

Got this app to save time and hopefully money since the other viable app is 9.99 per month or stuck w the free version. Unfortunately mix captions is getting my business because this app sets out to do this yet fails. Had to edit most captions and the edits would often not save.
