Gimme my money back

I subscribed to Astari for a month and canceled. The concept sounded useful, but the actual experience didn’t justify paying for it. I found the app frustrating to use, and getting useful results required more effort than I expected. Instead of simplifying what I was trying to accomplish, it often felt like another layer of work.

I gave it a fair try, but I didn’t find enough practical value to continue the subscription. For a paid app, I expect the experience to be intuitive, efficient, and noticeably better than tools I already have access to. Astari didn’t meet that standard for me.

Absolutely not

I have a ChatGPT, which I love. I thought that this will give me more, but it’s not as organized. And you have to pay $12 just for a small sample they tell you you can cancel within 24 hours but it will give you an error message. So you cannot cancel within 24 hours and get your money back. You really have to email them to cancel it then they’re gonna play the same card and say well this past the 24 hours we can’t give a refund😂 what a joke

We’d also like to offer you three weeks of Premium benefits at no cost! Please contact us at support@astari.app so we can help you as soon as possible.

Misleading Facebook Ad

The ad promised a lot for an app that simply transcribes and summarizes notes, especially given a privacy policy that essentially warns your data could be processed anywhere in the world, for any purpose, and that it's all your fault. I'm not sure how many successful CEOs this app has actually made

Stealing money

I downloaded this app and got their subscription to try it but I didn’t like it and tried to cancle my subscription right away. Everytime I click Cancle subscription, a page pops up saying Something went wrong. They are keep deducting money from my account from last 3-4 months. I tries multiple times to cancel the subscription but I think they want to steal more money.

Please contact us immediately at support@astari.app so we can help cancel your subscription and refund the unwanted charges. We will also give you a free month of Premium benefits as compensation 💙

Asking for money right away

As a business owner hoped to try this app to see if it really is benifital for me, as soon as I download the app it asks for payment plan but I don’t even know if it’s good or not yet if I was going to pay for apps before even trying them the amount of money I would have wasted on nonsense apps, quality apps speak for itself so I’m guessing this isn’t it if you won’t let us experience it before we can even decide if we want to pay monthly, had high hopes, great idea but rlly put me off instantly

Total Scam watch out!

I saw the advertisement and decided to check it out. Paid one month for 15.99 dollars.

Downloaded the app and after a few clicks there comes a second charge to my credit card which I didn’t authorize for 29.99.

Then when I dig into the app it says I need to spend a few more to get some basic functionality.

Contacted support and they said the second charge was an AI upsell. I didn’t sign up for this extra feature.

Bottom line, I was robbed about 46 USD.

Immediately canceled the app. Stay away!!!

Not accessible

I got this app not realizing that it was made without s thought for the disabled community. Sure I can speak into the phone but the new IOS has amazing features that could have been incorporated. Thanks for forgetting a whole segment of the population, but no worries you’re right on schedule with our government.

Avoid this trash

Please don't try to use this trash!!!
The speech recognition system is awful, sometimes they miss the sentences, and what's worse, they sometimes miss recognizing important numbers and grades, for example, I say I get A plus, but it recognizing as A)
The AI assistant and a summary are also useless, they use some model that seems to be at least two years ago, even have tons of errors when calculating some simple numbers. And they cannot connect with each other components: my AI assistant doesn't even know the existence of my summary and overview in the app.

The user interface and user experience is also laggy and awful. This thing is not only useless but might also cost a lot of trouble if you rely on it...

Excellent app

Having used other hardware-based note takers, I was looking for something that could do the same without having to carry another device. What a surprise. Astari, working from the watch, captured a great transcription from a large room with about twenty-five people, even those clear across the room. The transcription was excellent. The summaries are really good. Much better than what I'm used to, and I'm very happy with it.

Scam - cannot cancel

DO NOT DOWNLOAD - this company continues to take money from my account and there is no way of cancelling. No website and does not appear in subscription section of IOS

Do not download/ subscribe!

This is a scam to take your money. There is no functionality and so far will not even let me cancel

Great app

I'm incredibly impressed with Astari. It is excellent at summarizing my meetings. I work remotely, and all of my meetings are on Microsoft Teams. The transcription can get a little messy as it tries to distinguish different voices, but manually cleaning that has been fairly easy. But the meeting summaries and note capturing are spot on. I’ve recommended the app to several coworkers.

Great app

Not so much a review as a question… How do I export these conversations? I can see how to export the text into many different formats, but I would like to export the recordings.

The AI is very poor. I speak my voice notes in english and the written notes are in arabic. And there is nowhere to correct this issue
