A con
The software I just bought and downloaded bears NO resemblance to the pictures above. It is an ugly UI, with unusable controls, no functionality, it stutters to a halt when you stop the video playing, the AI “subtitles” are wildly inaccurate and unusable. This feels like a student project that someone has decided to sell, using generated screengrabs. Avoid.

Doesn’t work at all on new Mac computers
I’m the author of Filmmaking for Dummies and my fans have asked me if there’s a caption app for Final Cut Pro or videos in general. Definitely NOT this one! Caption This locks up and doesn’t work at all on newer Mac OS. Now trying to get my money back.
Not Working
I bought the app because, according to the images, it can automatically generate subtitles for a video. That’s the theory, but unfortunately, the reality is different.
When you open the app, you are initially limited to the Apple Photos library, and you cannot edit videos from the Finder with the app. So, I saved my video to my Photos library and ran it through the app. However, the app does not generate subtitles for me. I can select between different options for font styles and more, but nothing is actually added to the video.
The video only contains a voice generated by AI and has no background noise, so it’s not possible that the app cannot detect the voice in my video since the audio track contains only one voice—no music or other disturbances.
Since the app is quite simple and doesn’t offer many settings, it’s possible that I just didn’t understand how it works, as there is no instruction manual. However, I couldn’t find any button to give the app the command to add subtitles, so I assume the app should do this automatically, which unfortunately it does not.
If the app reliably embeds subtitles in the video in the future, I would definitely recommend it.
+ Clear and straightforward interface
+ Easy to use
+ Essential settings are available and easy to adjust
- Currently doesn’t work, at least for me. -> Hence the 1-star rating.

Does a brief job but now worth the money wouldn’t buy this
Don’t buy
It is gresat-but it is slower and hangs - awaiting response
I have writeen to Jon, as this is a beautiful app, with excellent choices of formatting captions/subtitles... however on my M1Max Macbook Pro with 32Gb Ram, it does not cope with videos more than about 5 mins, and then hangs, needing force quit, the subtitles do take much longer than say CapCut and then editing them is long winded. If the following improvements were mad it would be much better:
1. Deal with performance issues
2. provide simple way of editing captions/subtitles
3. Enable user to create a customer style that they can call up (for font size, colours etc)
4. Enable font size to be changeable with entering a number rather than small slider
These improvements would also mean a hugher oruce could be ok as it would be so good... I have written to Jon, and hopefully he will respond and attend to the issues as what is there would in my view be one of the best apps for this...

No Scrubbing?
Honestly it works pretty good and the price is perfect but there is no scrubbing feature so it doesn't allow me to go back and change specific words it might have gotten wrong.
The app is awesome other than that, will change to 5 stars once I can get the issue resolved.

Und arbeitet und arbeitet und arbeitet.

Und dann kommt nichts raus oder App stürzt ab. Direkt wieder Geld zurück gefordert und App wird gelöscht

Response from developer
Vielen Dank für dieses Feedback! Die neueste Version (2.0.8) der Caption This iOS-App bietet jetzt eine bessere Unterstützung für Sprachen, einschließlich Deutsch. Im Editor gibt es einen neuen Reiter „Sprache“, über den Sie Ihre Sprache auswählen können. Versuchen Sie es bitte und lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn bei Ihnen weitere Probleme auftreten.

Boooo
Why did I ignore the reviews 😩
Doesn’t work
I would be better off writing my captions myself. I’ve just wasted an hour trying to get this app to work. Once you make corrections, it just doesn’t work. I’ve given it a fair chance.
Rubbish
Doesn’t work, can’t get any support. Feels like a scam!
Don’t buy
You are scamming people out of their money and shouldn’t be selling a broken app. Shame on you. Can’t edit spacing and won’t even download the video after.
It’s ok
can you make the text moveable? That I can move it? And the app should please save the language settings. You have to change every time again
