### 5/5 — Great app for practicing work presentations

*2024-02-23, version 1.8*

I used this application to practice for an upcoming presentation at work. It helped me flag how much I say “uh” and “like” when I talk, ha. Great app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work!

*2023-12-20, version 1.8*

Save your money and don’t download this stupid app. It doesn’t help at all. Worst app ever!!!

### 2/5 — Doesn’t seem to pick up all my speech

*2023-05-17, version 1.8*

The free style mode occasionally reports a grade for my one-minute speech noting I spoke 3 words, which is very inaccurate.

### 1/5 — Won’t open on my iPhone!

*2022-10-21, version 1.8*

Paid for it and can’t even open it. I want my money back.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2022-02-21*

Don’t buy this app, it only works for short speeches (not only 5 minute-long ones). This was a waste of money.

### 5/5 — Setting the record straight

*2021-03-02, version 1.8*

I have been using this app for years. It’s always and I do mean always worked flawlessly. I read some negative reviews which triggered me to finally write mines. People download apps without truly reading what it does. Or they interpret what they’ve read into what they wanna see and boom. Negative comment. This app does exactly what it says it does. I think every public speaker including teachers, pastors, managers, dispatchers, writers, etc... should have something like this. This app is brilliant and 1 of a kind. & F no. I wasn’t paid to write a review. Just a loyal customer ticked off by user error buyers and clucks who buy without understand the intended purpose of something. A MUST HAVE APP ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 3/5 — Used to be better

*2021-02-11, version 1.7*

I really like this app, but lately it hasn’t been working well for me. I can’t stop my freestyle speeches when I’m finished and therefore cannot see the related analytics. Please update so it works smoothly again.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2021-02-02, version 1.7*

Immediately crashes after clicking on the home screen to enter app. I saw other reviews saying same - I thought they would have fixed it- but I guess not!

### 5/5 — A Good But Basic App

*2020-12-02, version 1.7*

It’s easy to understand the premise of this app. I like it a lot. I use a good bit of fillers myself, so it helps with that.
What the app doesn’t do is really make you much much better over time. It instead gives you a nice boost right after you use it. What I found to be the most successful way of using it is to do a few sessions on the way to work or in the morning and use that as a catalyst to speak better all day. 
Great value for free.

### 1/5 — LikeSo

*2020-11-15*

This app is rubbish. You cannot specify exact times in freestyle. The stop or pause button does not work. Finally the feedback link does not work. I will be requesting a refund & am highly disappointed after researching for a decent app.
