What have you done?!?!

This app used to work very well for me to communicate with my elderly Dad - but once it updated, it’s basically useless. Cuts off the last word of every sentence and simply doesn’t work 90% of the time. Please fix it

Incredible

This app is truly a godsend. It has helped me so much! Thank you for developing such a helpful application.

In a future update, it’d be great to be able to adjust the size of the font displayed.

In additon, I wish you didn’t have to hold your finger down on the screen as the person talks.

It’s nearly perfect.
