## What is Credible?

Stop saying "like," "um," "you know," and other distracting filler words that make you sound unprofessional. Credible is the only app that provides immediate feedback during everyday conversations to help you speak with confidence and clarity.

WHY CREDIBLE WORKS (When Other Apps Fail)

•	Real-Time Feedback: Credible works in the moment, when you need it most – not just during isolated practice sessions.
•	Effortless Improvement: No time-consuming practice drills. Credible works immediately, making you aware of your speech habits instantly and discreetly.
•	Fast Results: Awareness based training is the only way to improve, enhancing job prospects and personal communication.
•	Track Your Progress: Stay motivated and track your progress with our new streak tracking feature.

KEY FEATURES:

Unlike other speech improvement software that requires regular training or provides feedback after you speak, Credible is designed to increase your awareness of filler word use immediately, the only way to solve the problem. With Credible, you don't need to spend hours practicing; it works effortlessly to help you improve your speech.

•	Real-Time Alerts: Discreetly alerts you of filler words as you use them while speaking on your iPhone and Apple Watch.
•	Customization: Choose common filler words or add any phrases you want to reduce, and the notification frequency.
•	Streak & Progress Tracking: Monitor your improvement over time with detailed progress reports.
•	Privacy First: Audio is processed on your device, never stored or shared.

PERFECT FOR:

Break the habit of saying "like"  with Credible, the easy-to-use solution that works instantly without any effort, time, or practice. As you become more aware of your speech, you'll naturally stop using "like."

•	Job Interviews
•	Conversations
•	Meetings
•	Presentations
•	Anyone who wants to communicate more effectively!

Get Noticed for What You Say – Not How You Say It

HOW TO USE:

Credible requires microphone, speech recognizer, and notification access. Also, you will need to read a short paragraph to train Credible to only listen to you.

•	Provide access to your microphone, speech recognizer, and notifications.
•	Select the filler word you want to stop saying.
•	Select your notification frequency.
•	Set up the speaker verification tool by reading a short paragraph.
•	Hit “Tap to Start.”

Leave Credible on during any conversation to increase your awareness of filler words as you say them. Real time feedback is the only way you can become aware and improve your speech.

### 2/5 — Not working on my watch

*2026-03-23, version 1.5.0*

It just says ready on my watch and does nothing

### 5/5 — Apple Watch Issue Fixed

*2026-02-25, version 1.5.0*

I was able to get my watch working with this app. Pretty stoked on the app now,

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2025-10-14, version 1.5.0*

Downloaded the app with the intended outcome of improving my public speaking, the recording feature seems to work fine but I was looking for training opportunities as well as help and when you click on either of those items in the app (training/help), nothing happens.

### 1/5 — pay to play

*2025-09-09, version 1.5.0*

you have to pay to even open the app

### 1/5 — Paywall before any chance to see what this app does

*2025-07-10, version 1.5.0*

Downloaded the app and got it set up. Before being able to do any conversations or check the type of reports it gives., I got to a $99 per year paywall that takes over the app. No trial, no monthly subscription to test it with, just launched into a $99 per year subscription

### 1/5 — Scammy paywall

*2025-06-18, version 1.5.0*

Like other users already commented, I also absolutely hated that they make you set everything up and then the first time you record something being heart stopped by pay while you can’t exit, and either have to pay US$100 or the app is now a useless thing on your phone. Not the way to treat your customers. It will turn people away from you!!

### 1/5 — Does not work, do not buy subscription!

*2025-05-26, version 1.5.0*

Phone app can’t pick up a single “like” I said. The watch app is just a blank screen loading forever. The app forces you to buy a $40 annual subscription before you can use it. Total Scam! I am asking apple for refund.

### 1/5 — terrible app

*2025-04-22, version 1.5.0*

if i could give this a 0 out of 5 i would. my english is literally great i just wanted to practice my speech and stuff but i have to pay just to learn something i already know?? this app is terrible don’t download it

### 5/5 — Good app to help build confidence

*2025-03-24, version 1.5.0*

Five stars

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2025-01-10, version 1.5.0*

The push notifications didn’t work even though it was turned on.  I would be alerted even though I did not say the crutch word and at times when I did I wasn’t alerted.
