### 1/5 — Half-baked app /  Dev ghosted me

*2026-02-18*

App crashes every time I click to share the dictation which is the entire point of the app.

(Update) App doesn’t crash now but inaccurate transcriptions, over-aggressive pause detection splitting up sentences, and a broken/ineffective pipeline to clean up text make this unusable for my writing needs. Communicated these problems to the developer who blamed the issues on on-device limitations. He didn’t have a fix and didn’t offer any sort of compensation after I was denied a refund. Disappointed. Wanted to love this app but its limitations and lack of developer communication sinks it. PS. All of my update comments are AFTER the developer’s “PR-esque” response here. He simply stopped responding once I laid out my concerns and didn’t have solutions. Don’t be fooled.

**Developer response:** Hey there, 
I am sorry you are experiencing this issue!
Could you please reach out to support@dictly.app so we can analyze the issue and get this sorted?

Best regards,
Jannik

Wanted to love this app and help the developer. Hoping it improves as I like the concept very much.
