User reviews

Voice to text unreliable

I like the concept, but the voice to text function is wildly inaccurate. I am often using it while walking and the recordings are very quiet despite my directly speaking in to the microphone, so it’s hard to hear back and re-type what I’m saying.

Response from developer

Dear Kim, Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you are having this experience. We haven’t had any issues so far with recordings being quiet, so do please check the following. Please check other recording apps like apples voice recorder to confirm that it is not an issue with your microphone. It can happen that lint or other small obstacles have gotten trapped in the microphone slot which would muffle the sound. If you are experiencing the same issue with other apps as well, it might be worth brining it by the Apple Store to take a look. However, if this issue persists despite being fine on other apps, we’d be very grateful if you would reach out to us via email to team@cocoonweaver.com, so that we resolve this issue together. All in all, no other users have reported this issue, but it’s still very important to us, even if a few are experiencing this problem, that it can get resolved. Thank you! Team CocoonWeaver

Sub Sections

I feel like this app could use sub sections. Let me click on a bubble and have it open up other bubbles that I put in there. At least one, and perhaps only for those who turn it on, I don’t care. But only having one level of folders for thoughts can get frustrating real quick. Otherwise, I like the formatting and features of this app. I do hope y’all see this and consider adding the ability to add subsections per bubble on the top layer.

Best audio note taking app

I have a scatter brain and I work best with audio memos and just practicing voice acting. So love how colorful and well it’s made cannot wait to buy the upgraded version once I’m back on my feet. Looking forward to owning a copy of this wonderful softwares

Expensive

Would be awesome if it was not subscription based. $100 a year is a lot

Long time user/ do not like the new pricing models

Over the years I have used this app to record thoughts and ideas and always found it really helpful and fun for my chaotic mind.

It was always a really great free app and had privacy features that I really enjoyed. It felt like a safe space to drop
Ideas Without feeding an algorithm. But now it seems that all my notes are locked behind a subscription model that is very expensive compared to other apps and software that do the same thing.
$15 a month is more than Spotify or other streaming services.

So now I have to find a way to download my data from Cocoonweaver so that I can retain agency over my own voice and ideas.

Was five stars, but this pricing model is unfair to users that have been apart of this app for years.


I understand developers have to make money but this is not an essential piece of software and there are lots of free alternatives.

Great app but I won’t be supporting it anymore.
