One of The Best Captioning Apps

I really enjoy usingthis app, it gives me the ability to see a transcript of the conversations as it is being spoken. I discovered this app two years ago and decided to try it out. I use this app daily and it worked fine and the captions are fairly accurate.

While using the app, I had two issues. First off is with the dial pad. Wen I want to enter a number, the keypad is not fully visible with Voiceover (screen reader software). So, had to turn it off in order to make it wirk, which was frustrating and is still happening to this day. Finally, when making and receive calls, the audio sounded very choppy and was cutting out no matter if I used speakerphone or a headset.

After noticing the issue, I contacted customer service via email to resolve the situation. Although I never received a response to my email, the calling issue was fixed in a later update. I am now using the app again, and it is working great.

Unable to use app after using it for over a year…

The app is not loading my profile. It will not even open past the point where it has a loading symbol and saying loading profile… and then it won’t load. Help! Is there a bug??

Sticks on loading profile

Have to delete and reinstall every time to use. After first use it stays on loading profile.

Cuts off often

Whether speaking locally w family or long distance it cuts off. Have to redial-many times.

I can’t live without captions so I must use this product. It adds to my hesitation in calling and using regularly. If I can’t reach someone by text, I use this but wish it was better.
