However the notifications only tell you a filler word has been used. Not which one. This makes it harder to work on improving. Is this in the works? ### 2/5 — Huh? *2024-08-14, version 1.1.0* This was a total scam of an app. After downloading a few “improve your speaking” apps I tried this. It has a step by step process to get you started,enabling microphone, adding filler words you want to stop using, complete with recording a passage at the end. I next expect an analysis of that passage like other apps. Then you get stopped by a pay wall. Fine, so I try the free trial. So finally in the full paid app only to discover ALL it does it record your voice and a wavy line will appear as you speak. The line goes up if you say a filler word. That’s it. There are no more buttons, no more functions. That is the whole thing. I was so confused until I realized that is literally all it does. So do not pay the great deal on a yearly subscription. ### 1/5 — Internet scam *2024-08-08, version 1.1.0* Got this recommend from an add though looked cool to improve my eloquence but turns out can’t use it Unless you Pay to use it. ### 1/5 — What do you do? There’s not instructions? *2024-06-27* What is the point of this app?? Is it just to speak to it saying random stuff or is there actually coaching??? If so where are the instructions? ### 2/5 — Overpriced- waste of time *2024-06-08, version 1.0.2* I don’t usually write reviews but I noticed there wasn’t many ratings on this app in general so thought I’d give my opinion. After you finish setting it up, it shows you a payment screen. I believe it was £30 for 3 months? Either way, perhaps it should be shown in the ad that it costs so much? I’m sure it works great but I honestly don’t make enough money to pay for that and I hope the creators consider lowering the prices. ### 2/5 — Promising app but *2024-04-16* I downloaded it when it was free. It just transcribes our voice, no feeb back in any form. I did not understand why the dev promoted it as it helps in public speaking. Hope the future update will address issues. ### 1/5 — Stuck on load screen *2024-04-16, version 1.0.0* Waste of time didnt load :/ ### 5/5 — Very helpful! *2024-04-09, version 1.0.0* This app is great as it brings awareness to speech patterns. Many times we do things unconsciously and we don’t even recognize it, but once we are more aware of it then change could happen much faster as a result! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-04-09, version 1.0.0* Easy to use and effective. Recommend for anyone working to improve public speaking and presentation skills. As a hiring manager, frequent use of filler words by candidates is a bigger issue than many applicants realize and can be exacerbated by nervousness. It’s important to practice. This allows you to improve on your own and tracks progress in a measurable way, making you better and improving confidence. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Rectification needed Immediately *2024-12-31, version 1.5.0* Access to your created profile and personal audio recordings is behind a paywall of over $30. While I understand the need for payment, the concern lies in the lack of access to my recorded likeness. When will I be able to re-record? When can I delete my recording? This situation raises security concerns that Apple needs to examine much further. ### 1/5 — Good mobile app but watch app doesn’t work *2024-12-01, version 1.5.0* Just says “Ready….” On the watch. ### 1/5 — Having a pay wall to use this app really? *2024-08-12, version 1.1.0* I wanted to try and get this app try but right when I got through the tutorial, it wanted me to pay and I am not gonna be doing that. I wanted to give it a shot, but it’s not gonna happen now. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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, ### 5/5 — Good app to help build confidence *2025-03-24, version 1.5.0* Five stars ### 5/5 — Very effective *2024-09-12, version 1.4.0* This app worked very well, especially for everyday use! ### 5/5 — Great for podcasters *2024-04-30, version 1.0.0* As a podcaster and someone asked to present to clients and other employees, I found this very useful to help me kick bad habits and ensure my presentation is effective. Very straightforward and easy to use without being intrusive. ### 5/5 — Extraordinary tool! *2024-04-26, version 1.0.0* It’s so simple, yet, so effective! I had no idea how often I use lazy words in conversation - until I found Credible! It also allows users to add their own custom words and phrases! I’ve been busy! Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Awesome for speaking with impact! *2024-04-22, version 1.0.0* This app is an amazing idea in an age where speech matters, especially with our business interactions often not in person. This app was easy to set up and use and despite being a professional for many years, it has made my public speaking super impactful and made me pause to speak with greater effectiveness! ### 5/5 — So good so far *2024-04-15, version 1.0.0* The idea behind the app is incredibly simple, it's like why wasn't this available sooner? Either way I'm happy it's available now. ### 5/5 — Thank you this beautiful application *2024-04-15, version 1.0.0* Please keep working on this application to make it work smoothly. Everything looks great at this point. And thank you for the application. With Kindest Regards-BR ### 5/5 — Shall be back with a deeper review later but so far it’s all good! *2024-04-15, version 1.0.0* Thanks for this one and I look forward to testing it out properly! Nice ui and everything just need more time with it - cool app tho…. 😎👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 5/5 — Super helpful *2024-04-09* I have quite a few friends who say like too often. I’ve already recommended this to two and seen a big impact. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
