### 4/5 — Exporting Files Issues

*2026-08-07, version 2.36*

The app is great and so far working better than PLAUD, but when I go to export a file, the black export button is completely covered by the summarize button. Please fix!

### 3/5 — Happy untill

*2026-08-03, version 2.36*

Was very pleased with the device, until the new app update went through. Used to be able to edit the summaries and you can’t anymore, which makes it very hard to give copies out, especially when it’s wrong you can ask the chat to fix it, but it doesn’t format it correctly or often changes the whole thing

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-08-01, version 2.36*

I use my Fieldy. I use it every day. It’s one of my best purchases I’ve made.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-07-29, version 2.35*

I work in hvac, and I have customers and managers telling me things all the time it’s easy to forget things or parts or measurements, but this things a life saver! I just hope it holds up

### 5/5 — Firefly saved my time

*2026-07-28, version 2.35*

It’s so on the spot and keeps me in check. I have adhd and this has changed my life. I’m more confident and I lookat hectic and chaos, and laugh at it with a self confident positive attitude

### 5/5 — My Second Brain

*2026-07-25, version 2.35*

Only had my Fieldy for less than 24 hours and already checking items off my task list like a champ! This is the BEST invention of 2026!

### 5/5 — Process Manager

*2026-07-22, version 2.35*

Its been perfect for me as a manager to help remember meeting topics and notes

### 5/5 — Fieldy is surprisingly good.

*2026-07-22*

I've only had my Fieldy for 24 hours, but so far it's been incredible. I'm used to using other similar tools like the Plaud device, which I still will continue to use, but I thought that Fieldy would just be the same thing, but perhaps less robust. It's in many ways more robust and useful. I'm very pleased with my decision to purchase this device and will look forward to continuing to learn more ways that I can incorporate it into my daily life so that I can better remember things on the go and in meetings and so forth.

### 5/5 — Great device

*2026-07-21, version 2.35*

Keeps me organized

### 5/5 — Incredible

*2026-07-21, version 2.35*

This app is really incredible. It’s changed the way I live. It helps me remember what happened each day and actually creates actionable to do lists that help me stay on top of my life. It’s extremely accurate as well. Please note you need to purchase the Fieldy AI product to use this app. I can’t speak to the limitations of the free version of the app.

### 4/5 — Pretty good with meetings

*2026-07-20, version 2.35*

Meeting notes are awesome great take aways every time 5 stars. Every day tasks reminders etc less on point. 3stars

### 4/5 — Getting my arms around it…

*2026-07-19, version 2.35*

Capturing absolutely everything the list of topics is long to weed through, given I haven’t had the chance to use it in more of a business setting yet. I can definitely see how documenting all of my meetings and phone conversations is going to be a tremendous help!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-18*

When teamed with Claude… unstoppable

### 5/5 — It’s like a friend who remembers

*2026-07-17, version 2.35*

### 5/5 — Very Helpful Device

*2026-07-17, version 2.35*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Creates more work than it saves

*2026-08-13*

The device itself is well designed and pretty impressive. The basic functionality is very helpful. But at the end of the day, it doesn’t allow you to do bulk reassignment of speakers. You have to physically go in and select every single speaker moment within the transcript. With long meetings and multiple speakers, this is a lot of frustrating work. So much so that quite often it’s more time to correct the transcripts than it is to just take notes. The second infuriating aspect of this device is it does not record phone calls unless you have them on speakerphone. With a job like mine that is impossible to do even the majority of the time. The limits to their free AI subscription are such that you’re pretty much forced to pay for an upgraded subscription. If this is something you use often. And their subscriptions are substantially more expensive than other products out there that do the things that this one doesn’t. And it takes forever to figure out or get a response on how to return the d**n device. And when it’s all set and done, they don’t want to refund you for the useless subscription that you’ve paid for. Choose the monthly not the annual or you just waste more money. Tons of future potential here but lacking at present and, as per usual in the world, nowadays, legally acceptable, unethical behavior in terms of returns and refunds, lack of human support, etc.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-31, version 2.35*

Can’t get past the setup screen forces me to buy a subscription before I can test it out or use it. Hitting uo support for a refund

### 1/5 — Total failure! Waste of money!

*2026-07-30*

When I received my Fieldy I plugged it in to charge it.  The light kept flashing a series of colors over and over.  I left it for a few hours and it was still flashing all the colors.  I thought it was taking an awfully long time to charge so I left it overnight.  The next day it was still flashing!  So I unplugged it and left it on the table.  
A few weeks later there were no more flashing lights, so I plugged it in again.  Soon the light came on and was a steady white.  
So I carried it around for the day and saw that it recorded EVERYTHING!  There is no power switch - at least one that works.  So you can’t turn it off during times that you don’t want to record.  
Spooky.  
So I plugged it in so it would be charged and ready for the next day only for it to go back to the flashing multicolored lights again.  
I unplugged it and haven’t been able to use it again.  
The truly sickening thing is that I paid a lot of money not only for the device, but I also bought the pro plan because I had lots of training that i wanted to record so I could refer back to it.  
That’s a whale of a lot of money for one day of testing!  
Definitely not worth it.  I want a refund of every penny I wasted on this useless piece of junk and the unusable « pro » plan.  
This deserves zero stars, but unfortunately one is as low as it will allow.

### 1/5 — Never ending price increases

*2026-07-27, version 2.35*

Got a Fieldy? You only get a few hours of transcoding PER MONTH. It’s otherwise useless the rest of the month

### 1/5 — Not transparent on customs shipping- app mediocre. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

*2026-07-25*

Hopefully, I can reach some Canadians before they to get sucked in to this company with their app.
Not only is the app glitchy and not consistent but when purchasing their AI tracker, they are quick to take your money, but they failed to show on checkout or your invoice that you will be charged an additional 50.00. Their response has gone silent. 
Very disappointed in app and the company. 
Buy soundcore! Better app, transparent and overall better experience.  I switched immediately!

### 1/5 — Great idea, terrible app, bad customer support

*2026-07-10*

When the product works, it works fantastic. There are often times multiple bugs in the app and the app only works about 10 to 20% of the time. I have reached out to Customer Support multiple times and they keep saying fixes are coming, but it never happens. I have also had many issues with the hardware and they did quite a bit of lying with their most recent product. I bought Fieldy too and loved the product so much that I immediately upgraded to field D3. They claimed that the battery would last 10 days and that the product worked better. The app functionality went downhill with the upgrade of the product and the battery only lasts about three days. I am currently looking at different solutions.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this service

*2026-07-10, version 2.35*

Shady.  Registered and didn’t realize the service I registered for was basically worthless.  Unless you want to throw away good money after bad on this app, don’t buy their over priced device or service.  It’s worthless without at least the $20 a month plan.

### 1/5 — Scam do not buy!

*2026-06-21*

The add stated their was no extra substitutions but when you purchase and load up you have to buy subscription to use and only get 3 hrs ‘free’ I paid for device I should not then have to pay extra to use it!!
So made I got scammed

### 1/5 — Free version with hardware purchase is a joke

*2026-06-09*

I like the necklace but the free version isn’t enough for daily use.   Just know that because you spend $120 on hardware that you need to at least pay the  $15/ month to use it.   ChatGPT is free on most mobile phones and can be utilized the same way without the monthly free.

### 1/5 — 課金したのに反映されない

### 5/5 — Just brilliant

*2026-08-21*

It’s amazing what you can miss in a meeting that Fieldy will pick up. 

I can’t do without it now; it’s just brilliant.

### 5/5 — Production Genius

*2026-08-18, version 2.39*

This devise has provided tremendous insight into my work with my production team. I baught one for me and one for my floor supervisor and it’s working great!

### 5/5 — ADHD tool

*2026-08-18*

I forget a lot. I have a lot to juggle with my own disability and then I parent a child with a disability as well. Fieldy helps me keep track of points made in therapy, it makes it so I have  the bulletpoints of each conversation and I know exactly what I need to work on. It details goals I need to accomplish between appointments. Etc. I can also make lists and notes in real time without having to stop what I’m doing, find pen and paper, and then forget what I wanted to write down. I’m very thrilled so far. It’s also great for when you pray if you would like to look back and see how God has answered prayers for you.

### 5/5 — Love. Love. LOVE.

*2026-08-17*

I was really hesitant to buy ANOTHER recording device in the hopes it would understand what I said and actually be easy to use. Fieldy is IT!!! I LOVE IT. the transcription is spot on! I can easily copy the transcript and use it in Claude and ChatGPT or just sharing the raw conversation. I am so over the moon and it’s only day 1!!! It’s better than the other 4 I have and it’s light as a feather! I am obsessed!!!!!!

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-08-16*

Better experience than Omi. Basically rivals limitless from the old days.

### 5/5 — Started using it right out of the box!!!

*2026-08-16*

It was already at 67% when
Received it. I used it for approximately 6 hours that’s first day, and it did an amazing job! It’s very impressive how well it works, how it picks up every part of the conversation, and how you can choose to have the information organized and presented to you. Great product, Fieldy!!’

### 5/5 — Fantastic Product

*2026-08-14*

So far so good. Amazing technology. I am enjoying it so much. 👏🏻💥🎉✌🏼🥳

### 5/5 — Development Planning

*2026-08-13*

Met with the town planning department at local Council!  So many take homes captured

### 5/5 — Latest update broke auto-end convos but customer service fixed it

*2026-08-06*

This latest update something happened with my Fieldy 3, the interface in the app is different as well now where I only have start and stop, no pause left. I don’t know what you guys did but the auto end conversation feature doesn’t work anymore. It’s turned into a normal recording device. The whole point of getting this was so it would transcribe all my conversations so that when one happens that we didn’t plan for, we don’t need to remember to turn on record.
I tried going through the FAQ section and all the other help options and nothing has helped.
Like I said, this last update broke it.

Update: contacted the support team and they reverted my version back to when it auto ends convos.
Very impressed with how they handled it. Great app, great product and great customer service.

### 5/5 — Ryan

*2026-08-06, version 2.36*
