### 1/5 — 想钱想疯了吧

*2026-06-30*

本地模型调用，还要自己接 api，你买断要 60 刀，怎么不去抢，垃圾，只能给一分

### 5/5 — All-in-one!

*2025-07-03*

Just what I was looking for! Realtime transcription, translation, and recording with the ability to export and share.  Would be nice to have an Apple Watch app though…

**Developer response:** glad to hear that。

### 3/5 — 还行

*2025-06-25*

翻译的还可以 但是太贵了 比别的app贵多了 希望能出买断的

**Developer response:** 您要不看看 felo？ 我对标的是它们家

### 5/5 — 非常棒的产品， 回复那个说 ’系统里已经有的‘那位

*2025-02-07*

系统里是有的，但是明显菜单入口太深了，并且给的功能太薄了。你每次都从setting里面点出来觉得方便就当我没说。 支持作者，期待更多好的app

### 1/5 — Cant Use this soft

*2024-12-27*

无论哪种语言根本不识别

**Developer response:** 可以看看诊断工具的输出，选择 new 模型试一试看，肯定是可以的

### 1/5 — 不是靠功能来吸引用户付费，而是靠恶心用户

*2024-11-07*

不理解为什么我都关闭翻译功能了，还要在窗口上显示什么翻译是付费功能，需要去xx付费。
不是靠功能来吸引用户付费，而是靠恶心用户。

**Developer response:** 嗯, 那是一个 Bug, 6.6 版本已经修复, 感谢反馈.

### 5/5 — It’s great app!

*2024-11-05, version 6.3*

"It's a great app! Thank you for developing it. This app helps me understand things better during meetings."

### 4/5 — Interesting App

*2024-06-13*

First off, you have a trial period, but you have to download the English model first before it works. Download and restart the app. There are a few English language options to choose from, but the default one worked just fine for me.

Why 4/5 stars? The app developer kind of seems sketchy, but could just be an honest dude that knows how to code. As his description says, he has a deaf friend and just wanted to help. 

Suggestions: Make it clear that there's a free trial period and the steps it takes to get the software running correctly. Maybe try partnering with a more well known company to increase trustworthiness. 

I may change the rating after a few months of using it.

**Developer response:** I'm really angry about your review, especially your use of 'sketchy'. I'd prefer a constructive discussion about the product's shortcomings rather than personal attacks.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2023-09-06*

It crashes a good amount.

**Developer response:** Can you provide the step that cause crash
or feedback with crash log will be appreciate https://www.engineerdraft.com/feedback/

### 2/5 — Poor Response.

*2023-07-25*

I really wanted to like this app, infact I did like the app. However after 12 days of waiting for a reply from the developer on an email sent to the feedback/support email on the website, I guess I am going to have to find something else.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvient. I always reply email in 3 days, I don't know which is your email address, I can't re-email to you.  
I just check the spam list and not found Unprocessed mail. 
you can also check spam list to check if I've reply or not, 
Adn you can re-email me or leave a message on twitter.
