$$$$$$ rip off

$80 a year for an app that runs on your phone is criminal.

Frustration

The app is amazing. It’s changed my life. The customer service is absolutely horrible. The frustration trying to deal with these people takes away from how good the app works. Sadly it’s time to look for a different app

Helpful

I have severe hearing loss. I am 80 so I don’t need a lot of bells and whistles. (Speaker identification, translation). But I need this at family gatherings, dr appointments, neighborhood events, Mahjongg, church, book club, meetings. I basically can’t manage without it. I feel so fortunate to live long enough for these life improvement apps. I’m going for subtitling glasses when there are more on the market to choose from. BTW. I have used 3 transcribing apps and yours is perfect for me. I just jumped to 50 hours, I’ll see how that works! Thank you for getting me back into things.

I love this! It’s so nice to sit with my family and understand what they are saying!!!

Way too expensive

I thought getting the yearly subscription will have unlimited use but there is a time limit per month. This is absurd and a money grab!!
