## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-03-24, version 6.30.0*

The dictation keeps getting stuck in outbox. No easy help to be had as website contact stuff is incomprehensible. Terrible,

### 1/5 — My App won’t open since the update

*2019-02-14, version 5.2.2*

I press on the app to open it, it flashes on then off again in an instant. Help!

### 1/5 — Cannot upload files bigger than 20mins

*2015-09-22*

Ever since the latest upfate our users have not been able to upload files that are longer than 20mins. Touch and go between 10-20mins but works ok with less than 10mins. Tried the same on Windows phone and it works fine.

### 1/5 — Uploading problems

*2013-08-07, version 4.4.0.0*

Uploading voice recordings can take hours. Obviously a huge problem.

### 1/5 — Removed it!!

*2010-06-16, version 0*

I installed this appication on my iPhone in the hope it would save me a lot of time.
It is rubbish.
Keeps crashing the iPhone and I have had to remove it.
DO NOT BUY IT, even if it is free.

### 2/5 — Needs updated!!

*2019-08-28, version 5.2.5*

The functionality of the app is poor. The screen won’t rotate, no plot screen capability on iPad and no Apple Watch app. This app really needs a huge update as it is falling behind its competitors.

### 2/5 — No screen rotation a big let down

*2018-10-02, version 5.0*

Nice looking upgrade but with one glaring omission, the screen does not rotate which is a real let down. Sort it please!

### 3/5 — Less helpful

*2014-04-01, version 4.5.0*

Upgrade generally good but why is the recorder screen now locked? It was much easier to hold the phone with the microphone at the top, and screen rotated accordingly

### 4/5 — Stuck in portrait mode on iPad

*2020-05-19, version 5.3.2*

I’ve been using this app on my iPhone for ages. Love it.

Just downloaded it to my iPad Pro and it’s stuck in portrait mode. Can’t figure out how to fix that. Is it a glitch?

### 5/5 — iOS 16 compatibility

*2022-09-12, version 6.7.0*

Will there be an app update for iOS 16 coming out today?  We have 250 users with the ability to use BigHand and I haven’t found any information on compatibility.  Thank you

Great App and found it very intuitive, has saved me countless hours

### 5/5 — Sweet

*2011-03-25, version 4.2.1*

As a solicitor, I have very little time to mess around,  bighand helps  me achieve those every day goals

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-03-09, version 4.2.1*

Works fantastically with the BigHand workflow system and allows me create and send dictations from anywhere! Awesome!!
