### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2026-06-06*

Horrible app. Downloaded it and refused to sign up to free trial. Tried to transcribe notes from a YouTube video but twice after pasting the link, it tells me that I need to ensure the video has a transcript and is under 2 hours even though it’s a 40 minute video. After the 2nd try, it just kept directing me to signing up for their membership. Rubbish. Also, it doesn’t fill the screen when rotated landscape which is annoying.

**Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your passion! 🚀Our subscription model helps us maintain advanced AI capabilities, regular updates, and best-in-class support, come and try it out!

### 3/5 — App review

*2025-06-10, version 1.13.4*

Wonderful app but would be better if the free users (such as myself) were able to get more access as we only get 2 opportunities to ask for things and majority users (like myself) don’t have it in their budget to get the pro version.

### 1/5 — T

*2025-05-14, version 1.13.4*

The app does not allow me to log in.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2025-05-07*

Horrible app they charged me a year instead of a month like I selected! Offered a 80% discount monthly and charged me a year for no reason! Apple and the developers declined any refund! Super disappointed with this app and Apple be careful what you sign up for ! Reported them for fraud because this is false advertising they just want money!

**Developer response:** We're sorry for your negative experience. Our app offers both monthly and annual subscription options. When subscribing, please double - check your choice. As for refunds, they're reviewed by Apple, and unfortunately, we have no control over their decisions. If you have further questions, feel free to let us know.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-04-13*

I clicked on purchase for a month and it automatically took out a YEARS worth of cash from my account. This is ridiculous and it didn’t even give me a three day trial. I don’t know what to say I am a college student and cannot afford this.

**Developer response:** Hello! Please provide us with your account information and transaction details and our dedicated team will start an immediate investigation. We will keep you updated on our findings and assist you further.
