Very buggy, not dependable
I bought the Lifetime version and regret it. The recordings cut out all the time. I can’t count on it for important things like meetings. I’ve taken to using a free version I had before. Been communicating with the developer but nothing ever changes meaningfully enough. Pos.

Helps me greatly
I have a medical need to remember my days because my memory is so poor. This allows me to record my day, assign speakers to the audio track and transcription read back.
The app easily allows me to find parts of the day, or a conversation, that I need to find and remember. It splits the audio into chunks based on time (mostly hourly based) which makes it easier to pinpoint a certain situation.
You can also export the entry’s day worth of audio and you can copy and paste the transcript to notes or make a journal entry or even add to your favorite AI’s memory to catalog your life and reference it in the future with out racking your head for lost memories.
A search feature for the Transcripts would be helpful, but as is, it’s still very useful to me. I can go over each day now and get a better feel for things and your favorite AI can summarize and describe key details.

Trial doesn’t give enough features to test…
The trial apparently only includes audio recording. We all know the iPhone can do that. But it doesn’t allow you to download transcription models or actually use any feature you might be considering buying the premium for. Not going to spend money for a brand new app that has promise but won’t let you test anything your phone doesn’t do with an app that came on a new install.

Good App, But I’m Not 100% Sold Yet
First of, I love the concept and in general it seems to work well overall.
But, it constantly stops recording for any number of reasons. CarPlay disconnecting seems to end recording. I would like to see it tie to focus modes… maybe if we could select which focus modes to record during, that would be helpful. Choosing either 24/7 or fixed schedule is a little too limiting.
I’m sure there are programmatic limits to what can be done to auto-start recording, but would love to see it handle stopped recordings better so I don’t have to regularly re-start it throughout the day. Sort of defeats the purpose of it.
I’ve only had it a couple days and I’m happy to revise / improve my review as the app gets better.

Hey, thanks for trying out the app and helping it improve. Currently we are working on ways to monitor for auto-start once recording stops - but as you rightly said, there are programmatic restrictions. But very soon, hopefully we will be able to achieve this. But for now, anytime the recordings stop - users are alerted on it.
Similar features to and much less expensive than plaud or limitless!
This is much less expensive than Plaud Note or Limitless AI - where you have to carry additional hardware and is super-expensive. All you need to get the same features is your app and a phone!
