### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK

*2021-06-24, version 2.10.6*

Crashes on each reopening, meaning a reinstall is required every time you want to use it.
In its current form, absolutely useless.

### 1/5 — Not supported on iOS 14?

*2021-06-16*

I’m using this app on iOS 14 and it doesn’t seem to be stable at all. Whenever I open it, it simply crash at start. Is there an alternative? A more modern version maybe? Thanks!

### 1/5 — Travaaaaaaado

*2021-02-21*

Usei uma vez e travou. Nunca mais abriu! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Stürzt ab

*2020-04-20*

App stürzt leider andauernd ab

### 1/5 — Segue com bug

*2020-02-09*

O que é relatado pelos usuários continua ocorrendo. Usa-se uma vez e, depois, ele não abre mais. Pq tanta demora em o desenvolvedor resolver o problema?

### 1/5 — App não abre.

*2019-11-20*

Mesmo depois da atualização do app, ele não funciona. No primeiro momento ele abre, porém em poucos minutos após o uso o mesmo não abre mais. Sempre que clico no app para abrir ele pisca na tela e fecha automaticamente.

Isso está ocorrendo no iPhone XR.

### 4/5 — Nice app!

*2019-11-14*

I news app works great on phone. We really like the voice to text feature. The presenter mode on iPads have been very stable and we have stopped printing all scripts for all newscasts and have transitioned to this app. Works great! Playing video on the phone is a great feature too and with enough cellular bandwidth it works well.

### 1/5 — iPad e iPhone

*2019-10-31*

Há mais de um mês com as novas atualizações do iOS e o App não funciona...

### 1/5 — iOS

*2019-10-30*

Alguma previsão pra atualização do app pro iOS 13? Já tem mais de um mês e nada.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2019-10-17, version 2.10.4*

Great idea but does not work on iOS 13..
