### 3/5 — Free option is way to restrictive

*2026-07-27*

Title is self explanatory. 2mins is not nearly enough and also you lose the chance to append to notes… if you are not willing to spend 100€ don’t bother installing it

**Developer response:** Hey, sorry about this, but thank you for leaving a review nonetheless. I'm going to try to make the free version a bit more generous in the future.

But for now, you actually have unlimited local transcriptions for the AudioPen iOS keyboard even on the free plan. If you haven't tried it yet, I'd encourage you to give it a shot. You might like it. 

I'm a one-person team, so I need to make sure I'm growing sustainably. That's why I have to set certain limits on the free plan. Thank you for understanding.

### 5/5 — Really handy

*2026-07-26, version 2.3.0*

I haven’t yet decided whether I need AudioPen long term, but in the week or so I’ve used it, I have found it seriously handy for drafting emails and dictating text messages. No matter what I decide going forward, I want to complement the thought and care put into this app and its onboarding by its creator. Top notch.

### 5/5 — Super Useful

*2026-07-23, version 2.2.9*

I can quickly capture those fleeting thoughts when not at my pc or laptop

### 5/5 — Superior voice transcription

*2026-07-13, version 2.2.6*

I love this app. I've been a Prime member for nearly a year now. I don't use the app that much, but when I do, it comes in handy and it's perfect. Well worth it.

Also, the developer has been incredibly productive over the last several months and has made some huge changes and improvements. I also love the Mac app. I love using it as a keyboard on the Mac app, and I'm thrilled that he added that function for the phone as well.

I highly recommend you check out this app. It's way ahead of any app in the same category.

### 5/5 — Top notch tool with a dedicated developer

*2026-07-10, version 2.2.6*

Luis is doing everything in his powers to make this app better and better; it’s absolutely working. 

A slick easy to use apps on my Mac and iPhone, a soon to be released windows version. The new talk to type keyboard. 

Bravo sir, Bravo!

### 5/5 — My review!

*2026-07-10, version 2.2.6*

I love this app! I have adhd and struggle to explain things in perfect sense, have the attention span to type it all out, and remember what I was trying to say. So this app completely changes things for me. I don’t have to focus on typing and forgetting what I say, It saves me so much time, and it writes it all down beautiful and clear. It doesn’t change what I say it might just level up a few words depending on what you choice to write about, but that’s definitely not a bad thing! I’d 100% recommend! Also when doing Bible studies it’s SO handy to get your thoughts out about scripture so easily and put it into a lovely note. I think the only down side is just that it gives you a time limit to say everything in but i haven’t yet looked into it and see if it can be changed so don’t let this put you off it’s probably just something I haven’t figured out yet! Hope this helps!

### 5/5 — Incredible app for creatives and writers

*2026-07-03, version 2.2.5*

I’ve been using this app consistently for over a year and it has aided me so much in my creative process. The ability to record and get a transcript so easily is game changing, but also the organization and ability to make it your own. I love it.

### 5/5 — Best for the price

*2026-06-22, version 2.2.2*

Easy to use and install hope the makers of this app don’t fully retire to soon become this is brilliant brilliant brilliant thank you

### 5/5 — I suffer with dyslexia and this really does help me

*2026-06-19, version 2.2.2*

For the last two years, I’ve been using AudioPen in conjunction with AI like Gemini and also been using it to the tasks that used to take me forever now it’s just press a button and talk

### 5/5 — Easy and Accurate

*2026-06-19, version 2.2.2*

At the push of a button AudioPen records, my thoughts, a transcribes them into easy to use text for multiple purposes. The AI built into the app can take your words and formats them into different themes as needed if you so choose to do so. It takes recording thoughts when a keyboard is not accessible to the next level and ramps up productivity by accurately taking my vocal comments and transcribing them and ready to paste format. It even gives you the opportunity to add specialized words into the data base.
