Nice app easy to use

This app is cool when I have stream. Of thought and want to put it somewhere or plan something. Nice design too!

It’s a handy app

Easy to follow app. It comes handy to record random thoughts. The AI part to very cool. It helps to organize the subjects easily.

Great Concept!

This app actually works unlike the others, a bit intuitive but once you get the hang of it it works!!

Exactly What I needed

Really helpful and easy to use. It makes organizing thoughts feel simple and quick. Great app so far.

not free

I’m absolutely fine with a paid service, but don’t advertise it as free. there was a free trial where you could cancel within the week. However, I was unable to find any way to click cancel In my free week. I do not want to pay close to $50 for this service. I can use my Notes app for that this might be good for people who want privacy I don’t need that. I really would like to learn how my free trial

hi Geckotoes, Sorry for the bad experience. Just clarifying- 1. Every subscription app Is built like this. This is how apple mandates developers build apps and all guidelines were followed to the dot. The price is also listed in the description. You also have to click on a big blue button to subscribe to be charged, with clearly written copy. This is also after 4 weeks of free trial and an additional 7 week free trial ramp up. 2. Emailed user detailed instructions on cancelling subscriptions(per apple developers can't see, access or cancel subscriptions). 3. As an indie developer offered to pay back full amount incase they incurred charges directly, if they can't work with apple. 4. The app has some real ongoing costs on usage, I have to charge to keep it sustainable. Multiple email follow ups. No response yet. y

Shady app developer

App developer is dishonest, posts as a user of his apps on forums without disclosing that he is the developer. Would not trust with any of my data.

Response from developer

I responded to a post on the obsidian subReddit to a user who had the exact same needs. The user and I had a very positive discussion and they are now and active user of the app. The post was in accordance with the subReddit policies. App transctibes locally and all data is stored and synced through icloud sync. I dont run a database for the notes at all. User hasn't installed or tried the app. Was just hurt that this app wasn't Opensource and free. Obsidian isn't open source either. Lo

You have rescued my journaling habit

I can’t believe how much stress you have taken off the art of journaling for me. You articulate my thoughts and feelings better than I can. I’ve gone from feeling totally overwhelmed by the thought of writing everything that’s on my mind down that I don’t even bother, to not giving it a second’s thought before getting it done. Priceless 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Excellent to take quick notes

This has significantly helped my productivity. When I am at my desk and I want to take quick notes and have to write things down, I just end up procrastinating and ends up never happening.

Braindump has significantly reduced the friction here, and now I take a lot more notes. I have a lot more items in my life well documented. This is extremely helpful, I am so glad I found it.

Love it exactly what I needed

This is a great tool to speak your thoughts into and then have them organize it in a structural manner that helps breakdown task and organize them

Exceptional productivity tool!

Fantastic app that has a smooth workflow.

I just dictate my rambling thoughts and the app helps me orgainse it in a coherent logical manner, be it for meeting notes, or project ideas.

The workflow is more conducive to productivity compared to just using ChatGPT. Using plain ChatGPT is like running barefoot, using this is like running with Usain Bolt's sneakers on.

The subscription is a small price to pay for such a wonderful productivity tool.

Nothing modest about the price

The “modest” subscription fee is $3 PER WEEK. Or pay upfront for a year to a brand new app with no history of updates and no reviews for the low low price of $69. Oh yes, pay between $69 and $156 every single year for an app that uses the same transcription function built into your Mac or iPhone. And the “rewrite” feature can be accomplished with Chat GPT, for free. I’m not opposed to supporting small developers but when did they get so greedy, and for such a simple app that simply sits on top of existing APIs made by others.

Response from developer

Product was never priced this high in its history. Please email me support@voicebraindump.com if you are a student/have special financial requirements. I am happy to provide free access on an on need basis. Also chatgpt free usage means OpenAI uses your data for training which is not feasible for users who are lawyers, doctors, corporate and business users and even private journaling. Any thoughts?

Great idea but buggy?

I love the simplicity. But I think I’m missing something… it keeps defaulting back to the big mic, but if I want to access an existing note in a folder, it just doesn’t seem to stay on what I assume is the homepage so that I can access those folders/. Very confusing and rendered useless if I can access past notes.

Not bad

I farted a little bit difficult to get the hand of, as I’ve just been doing with it less than 10 minutes. But it seems pretty sharply organized using AI. I wish it would use less words to summarize my thoughts in the executive summary style.

Amazing

This is an awesome app!

Very helpful

The programs really awesome with transcribing and being able to use it in real life while it transcribe into different voice, and you can articulate it in the way that you like I also like the feature that you can speak into it, and it can create it into notes and organize all your thoughts properly
