Da steckt verdammt viel Potenzial drin! Ich finde die App mega und hoffe, dass sie weiterentwickelt wird. **Developer response:** Es tut uns leid wegen des Problems mit der Sprachtranskription: Bitte überprüfe unter Einstellungen > Erweiterte Einstellungen > Spracheinstellungen, ob Deutsch ausdrücklich auf Platz 1 gesetzt ist. Die App priorisiert diese Liste. Falls das Problem dadurch nicht behoben wird, schreib uns bitte an den Support, damit wir dir helfen können. Sollte jetzt in Version 10.0.1 behoben sein. Wir hoffen, dass die App nach der Behebung der dringendsten neuen Bugs wieder genauso einfach zu bedienen ist wie zuvor. Die meisten Testnutzer fanden das bereits so. Wir würden uns freuen zu hören, was du gerne anders sehen oder zusätzlich haben möchtest. ### 3/5 — New version is a huge step backwards *2026-05-14, version 10.0.1* Just got the new version and the launch is rocky. ### 4/5 — Great app and works well *2026-05-14, version 10.0.1* Voice to email can be more accurate. But overall very useful app . ### 3/5 — Wenn .... *2026-05-13* Mein Text Transkribiert wird und so zum Empfänger ankommt.. vergebe ich 5 Sterne.

Sadly the customer support does not reply the tickets you submit. **Developer response:** Apologies for your experience and the radio silence. We have just released a completely rebuilt app. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. ### 3/5 — The app is great, but buggy *2024-06-12, version 8.1.1* The app is just buggy, unfortunately. It doesn’t always send the email and sometimes the items sit perpetually unsent. The Apple Watch side of the app isn’t very good either. Doesn’t close properly and will sometimes sit spinning forever. ### 3/5 — Too unreliable *2024-06-09, version 8.1.1* Braintoss used to be great, and at the centre of my organisational life. But these days notes get queued, and often come through without any kind of metadata, like transcription of text or detection of QR codes. It’s just too unreliable to be useful, which is a real shame. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Braintoss *2026-05-13* Alte Version war besser **Developer response:** Es tut mir leid, das zu hören. Die alte Version war in vielerlei Hinsicht eine Sackgasse. Was sind deine größten Beschwerden über die neue Version? ### 1/5 — Ruined app *2026-05-13, version 10.0.1* This app lived in n my dock for years… until the latest update, when I had to delete it straight off my phone. What used to be a simple and elegant app has now turned into total garbage with AI. I set my language to Canadian English, but the app decided I must want my transcription to be in Dutch – which I speak not a word of. The output is now completely useless and so now I just simply use the built-in Apple voice memo app. It works like a charm. ### 1/5 — Ok app *2025-12-02, version 8.1.3* In theory this app should be great. When it works it is. I’ve had messages go through days later when i forgot about them. App will say message sent but it wasn't. Needs to be worked out. I lowered my stars for this app. Don't know why I still use it. Issue for better then worse since last update. You can also text your phone from your email address. ### 1/5 — Voice to speech doesn’t work *2025-11-13, version 8.1.3* After using 2 weeks the most important function voice to text doesn’t work anymore. After 3 emails to their helpdesk still no solutions. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-06-24, version 8.1.2* Don’t buy, the voice recognition is terrible. You get emails with mum on jumbo. Waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Bad start *2025-04-24, version 8.1.2* I don’t get it. ### 1/5 — Ok app *2025-03-07* In theory this app should be great. When it works it is. I’ve had messages go through days later when i forgot about them. App will say message sent but it wasn't. Needs to be worked out. I lowered my stars for this app. Don't know why I still use it. Issue for better then worse since last update. **Developer response:** We have just released version 7.0.6. Please update and let us know if that helped with your issue(s). Can you please contact us? Our experience is very different. ### 1/5 — Ok app *2024-12-22* In theory this app should be great. When it works it is. I’ve had messages go through days later when i forgot about them.

We have just released a completely rebuilt app. Please give it a try and let us know what you think. ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2024-09-27, version 8.1.1* This app used to be quite good. Now it’s garbage. Sorry but it is. It freezes and quits and doesn’t save what you wrote etc. the frustration is not worth it. I’ve used it for years and over time it never got better. Actually worse, I’m afraid to say. If they improve it I’ll happily remove this review. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brillant / 100 % *2026-05-24, version 10.0.1* I use it a lot for websites i want to get to fast I visit then I use braintoss to send it to my email ### 5/5 — A game changer for idea people *2026-05-09, version 10.0* I think the ratings don't reflect this new app. It's amazing. Use it come back and review it. Let's get that score back up! ### 5/5 — Wat an amazing update! *2026-05-06, version 10.0* Braintoss has been my trusted go-to for years. And it had fallen a bit in recent times. But with this version 10 it is really back to form and then some. Wow. ### 5/5 — Immer noch MEGA! *2026-04-24* Perfektes Tool - Danke! ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2026-01-02* I bought them all to cheer them on Please support us with updates for a long time I'll be rooting for you. Fighting! Please update me forever Plz~~👏 너무 편하고 좋다!!!! **Developer response:** Working on a big update. Almost ready. You’ll love it ### 5/5 — Absolut Top! *2025-05-09* Die App macht genau das was es soll! Schnell und UNKOMPLIZIERT. Merker, Ideen und Infos an die Mail senden. ### 5/5 — Best app purchase I’ve ever made *2025-04-04, version 8.1.2* I’ve been using Braintoss for 6 years and it’s the best app purchase I’ve ever made. I use it every day, not only for the “to-do list” sort of things, but also for creative ideas. I’m a fiction writer and sometimes I’ll have a big idea about my story when I’m jogging or driving or whatever, and I’ll immediately and easily capture it in Braintoss. This is so much better than other apps like Notes because Braintoss sends an email to my inbox that automatically gets flagged so I can’t possibly miss it. ### 5/5 — Apple car play *2024-12-18, version 8.1.1* Top, gebruik hem alle dagen, maar hoop dat er snel een update met car play komt. 🤞🏻 ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2024-12-17, version 8.1.1* I love this - it’s quick and simple so I can dictate whilst driving and I have it on my main bottom menu of my iPhone so I can get straight to it. The option to email to different accounts at a button press is also really handy. I do sometimes find myself forgetting to send a reminder and then it loses it so a way to keep drafts would be great. ### 5/5 — Best app *2024-09-14, version 8.1.1* I discovered this app years ago from the Howard Stern show and I’ve used it like crazy. I absolutely love it. I record a message for an idea I have or a reminder and I can forget it as it goes straight to my inbox. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
