### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-11*

This is a complete scam. Do not waste your time. They gave me 51 items to record. I recorded them accurately and completely in my home office with no noise at all. Not even a fan running and I even shut down my air filtration system. 10 days after I submitted my recording I got them back to do them over because of background noise. I listened to every one of them and there was no background noise at all. They are using these recordings and don’t want to pay for them. Do not deal with these thieves.

**Developer response:** Hi William. Thanks for your review. We can assure you we do not use recordings which were rejected or needed re-recording while going through our Quality Assurance process. We have the Quality Assurance process in place to make sure all the submissions live up to the project requirements. We recommend you reach out to us at df_community@transperfect.com and we can help you with any questions you might have.

### 2/5 — Rejecting/taking back acceptances randomly

Like another person said; don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Scam Alert

*2026-05-12*

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-05-04, version 2.3.1*

You can’t even attempt to do a task and you keep saying the bug is fixed and it’s not

### 1/5 — App is Awful

*2026-05-01, version 2.3.0*

This app is one of the worst apps I have ever worked with.  While working on a project, the app kept crashing, and the stop button wasn’t responsive.

### 1/5 — Lag

*2026-04-21*

I’ve tried multiple times to get onto the app and start a task, but it buffers for so long before opening and once I actually get onto a task to start, it kicks me off. I’m not sure what’s going on and I’ve tried everything I can to get it to work for me. Money is nice but the stress is really upsetting.

**Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear about the problem. There was a technical malfunction with the app that should now have been fixed. 
Please try to uninstall and then re-install the app, and make sure you have the latest version.
This should solve the issue.
If you still have problems, please contact us at df_community@transperfect.com

### 1/5 — If the app functioned

*2026-04-20, version 2.3.0*

If the app functioned, I'd give it a different rating. But it freezes and crashes as soon as I press record for an audio task. Very curious what the quality release process is for this app.

### 1/5 — Horrible speed

*2026-04-17, version 2.3.0*

This app is unusable, when I do the task that requires audio my app turns into a potato after i hit the record button. Not even with the trouble

### 1/5 — SCAMMERS

*2026-03-20*

Please do not waste your time to work with them. They claim it can take up to 3 months to receive payment. Meanwhile they harass you with emails to try to get you to sign up for more jobs. Read the other reviews before you make a decision

**Developer response:** Hi. Thanks for leaving a review. We would like to underline that we always pay for work that is delivered and accepted according to our quality assurance standards. We have the quality assurance process in place to make sure the submissions live up to the project requirements.
