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. ### 2/5 — I am with the others *2020-01-08, version 1.6* The word uh umm ... but? Etc. Should be added ### 2/5 — Not useful without detection of “um” words *2019-12-20, version 1.6* Wasted the money as I thought this would detect the most common filler word - “um”. Please fix this! ### 1/5 — Very basic features *2019-08-29* Analysing speaking skills is very complex with many variables that need to be tracked. This app has some very basic features which are not sufficient to lead to any significant improvements. ### 4/5 — More features please *2019-03-21, version 1.4* Good app thus far, kinda limited tho. Keep adding to it! Roll out updates more often, add more words to filter out and more features in general. It’ll take the app a long way. Change is good. ### 4/5 — Wonderful but... *2018-12-06, version 1.4* All they need to add is the ability to change the prep time and speak time as well as the words is filters. At the very least you need the words Um ect. ### 4/5 — Great! However... *2018-12-05, version 1.4* Definitely a great way to go about helping those who either use fillers too much or just have trouble speaking regularly in conversation! But please add “um”, “uh,” etc. to the options to scan for. I use them so much and I’m sure many others do as well! It would be very helpful to see the amount and how it can be reduced. Thank you! ### 2/5 — No “um” or “uh” *2018-10-02, version 1.4* Wish there was user configurability where I can add my own personal filler words. At a baseline, “um” and “uh” should definitely be included because they are the most common filler words. ### 3/5 — Fun app and functions well but...like... *2018-09-12, version 1.4* It is definitely not catching all of the, um, filler words. And is a little pricey! ### 2/5 — Umm - no umm??? *2018-08-17, version 1.4* How can this not include umm as a filler word??? It my big fail word so this was a big disappointment. The app is a great idea, but extremely limited (particularly for the price). ### 4/5 — Good, but needs a couple more features *2018-08-05, version 1.4* This app seems to be pretty good. Things that you should add: - Um, and Uh as filler words - Make the option for not having to pick a time, and just speaking how ever long you want. ### 4/5 — Good but could be better *2017-10-26, version 1.4* I really like the product and how fast or slow I am talking. One suggestion I would make is to include more filler words such as like, um, uh, etc. I think it has the potential to be great. ### 1/5 — Horrible and not useful *2017-08-30, version 1.3* Whoever wrote these reviews work for the app or are friends of the creator. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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!!! ### 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. ### 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! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Horrible, doesn't work. *2020-11-03, version 1.7* I downloaded this app after watching a video a few days ago. Paid for it. And it just doesn't work. I made my 30 minutes presentation with the app open on free style and all it detected was just one word. Literally, just one word. Tried again, got the same results. They should either fix it or refund money. Or at least teach how to use if I am using it wrong. ### 1/5 — The software is so buggy! *2020-09-15, version 1.7* 1. The stop button of recording does not work 2. No place to analyze a existing voice memo 3. Why do I need to choose a time limit on my speech??! ### 1/5 — Paid app crushing ever since I bought it *2020-08-26, version 1.7* Not sure how users manage to give a 5 stars rating. Since downloaded, the app never worked. No matter what I do, whenever I open it will close after less than a second. After emailing the developer and waiting for the best part of 2 months I give “app” Worst app I ever paid for. ### 1/5 — Crashes. Unable to use. *2020-07-27, version 1.7* I’m quite sad. As soon as I move past the red splash screen, the app crashes. I am on an iPhone XR with iOS 13.6 I have LikeSo app v1.7 I have full WiFi. Full cellular. STR: Open app. Observe red splash screen Accept microphone permissions. Deny voice recognition data to Apple permissions. Tap on red screen. View next screen with heavy text and white less than a second Crash (app cuts and I land on my home screen). I have reproduced crash 7 additional times. Same STR but without permissions alerts. Tried uninstalling and re-installing. Same results. I am especially bummed because I paid for it 😞 Edit: Uninstalled and re-installed a third time. This time same STR except I accepted the “send data to Apple” permission. I got past the second splash screen and was able to start a talking session. I chose: ask me, job interview, 60 seconds, listen for all words. I got through all five questions but once the 5th question hit 60 seconds nothing happened. The app is frozen there. I cannot move forward or back. This has been a very disappointing experience. ### 1/5 — Can’t listen for uh and um *2019-10-27, version 1.6* The “pro” version listens for uh and um, but you can’t use that version unless the company you work for signs up. So you pay $5 for what’s essentially a “lite” version and sure, it listens for filler words, which is cool EXCEPT IT CAN’T LISTEN FOR THE TWO MOST COMMON FILLER WORDS. Seriously why don’t you have uh and um in here? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great practice! *2019-11-20, version 1.6* Untapped Potential Inc. (UPotential.org) Recommends this app for our stay-at-home moms practicing their elevator to return to work following caring giving. They rave at how helpful and easy it is! ### 5/5 — I LIKE ... LOVE IT!! *2019-06-07, version 1.5* This app is amazing! I am around that age where I am starting to interview for jobs, and this app has helped give me so much confidence in myself! The “Talk About” section really helps with specific situations, such as interviews, and I can also use “Freestyle” to talk more about absolutely anything. This app is absolutely phenomenal, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone! ### 5/5 — Powerful Tool! *2019-05-20, version 1.5* As a podcast host and former professor, I’ve always tried to be mindful of the manner in which I speak—which is why I love this app! LikeSo makes it easy and fun to assess our speech patterns and alter any tendencies that impede effective communication. ### 5/5 — Heard about this on Karen Hunter. *2017-06-20, version 1.3* Seems like a great app so far.. ### 5/5 — Speech Coach *2017-02-28, version 1.3* The next revolution in speech coaching! LikeSo is helping my clients practice following our sessions in a fun and helpful way. They really enjoy receiving the feedback and the quick practice format. I believe will be hearing a lot more speech fitness in the world! ### 5/5 — A revelation *2017-02-04, version 1.3* My children's speech improved after they began using this app ### 5/5 — Really helpful! *2017-01-29, version 1.3* Used it to practice for a short video filming. It helped with my "fillers" and my pacing. My daughter used it to prep for a group presentation. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
