The detailed feedback has really helped me minimize fillers in my speech . There appears to be some bugs as I have not received any new exercise for several days . I reached out to the support email several times and have not heard back . Will most likely unsubscribe ### 2/5 — Moving to the next phase *2026-04-04, version 3.25.26* I like the app but I have reached out to your tech support about moving to the next phase of learning but I have not got a response. ### 2/5 — Moving to the next phase *2026-03-28, version 3.25.25* I like the app but I have reached to your tech support about moving to the next phase of learning but I have not got a response. ### 2/5 — Buggy *2026-03-26* The app is buggy, I’m using a new iPhone 16. The app gets stuck and I can’t move forward. ### 2/5 — Poor voice recording /activity errors *2026-01-30* I liked the exercises and how it picked up on my tone and speed however a little while into using the app. It kept saying that it had poor network connection and would stop recording me every few seconds, but I’m sitting right next to my Wi-Fi with plenty of connection. And no other apps ever have this problem with speaking features on my phone. It was pretty frustrating because I liked how it was helping me but I just couldn’t get the app to actually work with the voice record recording feature ### 3/5 — Feedbacks are not useful *2026-01-13* I purchased ORAI to help with my public speaking but honestly the app is mediocre at best. The feedbacks are not great. The only reason I would use it to reduce fillers in my speech. ### 4/5 — Suggestions *2025-11-06, version 3.25.24* I wish it had profile pictures and avatars, and I also would like it to show me written feedback if I want it to but it’s still great as it is right now though. ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-09-13, version 3.25.23* u cannot do anything with just a basic plan, u have to pay for it ### 1/5 — Not really a free app *2025-08-26* If you’re looking for a free app, this really is not it. In the very beginning, you only get one prompt to practice and then maybe one more, and they give you really good feedback on that, but after, everything has to be paid for.. ### 1/5 — Woke Left Wing Propagandist app *2025-08-16, version 3.25.23* They will give you Al Gore “environmental justice” speeches to analyze your “pace” and “tone.” How about keep your propaganda out of a speech improvement app. These type apps are a dime a dozen- find one that desires to help improve your speech - not push their climate change agenda. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-08-16, version 3.25.23* I cancelled the subscription and got billed anyway. Avoid this app, the author is a fraud and a cheater. This app needs to be banned permanently. ### 1/5 — So unusable and broken *2025-07-01* I love this app, but it’s so buggy these days and every so often when the app updates it clears all my data. So I need to keep starting again, but I can’t because it will glitch out. About half of the time I do a practice it will daily to analyse the practice I’ve done. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2025-06-02* App kept on bugging in my iphone 15 pro max. I think it has potential ### 1/5 — Baddest ever *2025-05-17, version 3.25.23* Littarly you have to pay after you answered what your fav fish is, like I just want to practice why do I have to to pay i any paying bro ### 2/5 — Not Having Good Experience with the Apps *2025-04-26, version 3.25.23* I cannot open the classes after purchasing the subscription. The app just keeps loading and never opens the classes. I’ve already tried changing the internet connection and redownloading the app, but it still doesn’t work. Please help improve the user experience. Thank you ### 1/5 — Can’t login *2025-03-28, version 3.25.23* I just signed up for the paid plan and now I can’t access the app anymore. I don’t have a way to cancel the subscription if I can’t login. The login page just loads forever. Please help! ### 1/5 — Look somewhere else *2025-03-27* I wouldn’t recommend this. It consists of a series of basic exercises that you record, with repetitive feedback on pace and other metrics. The feedback doesn’t add much value, making it not very useful. On top of that, it’s overpriced. The customer service is terrible. I reached out about an accidental renewal, followed up, and never received a response. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Wellspoken app is better *2026-06-23, version 3.25.26* Wellspoken is a way better alternative ### 1/5 — Nul *2026-05-18* Le programme est nul, pas beaucoup de contenu! Absolument nul ### 1/5 — it takes ages to open *2026-03-06* Well i get to know about this app from linkedin learning I bites there free ne week trial and for the past ten minutes I’m trying to open lessons but they don’t i dont know its because to the loading time or they haven’t granted access but terrible app to be fair ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-02-24, version 3.25.25* No free courses ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-02-22* You literally cant use it at all without paying for it ### 1/5 — To Early to give feedback. *2026-01-22, version 3.25.24* I will get this app a chance and go from there. ### 1/5 — Subscription Payment *2026-01-03, version 3.25.24* I hae already cancelled my subscription a year ago. However I was still charged on mu credit card. This is unexpected and concerning. I hope the Orai team to look this matter promptly ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-11-03, version 3.25.24* The app hosts videos on YouTube and YouTube prevents viewing from the app. So you know how bad this app is. ### 1/5 — Woke content *2025-11-01, version 3.25.24* I was excited about this app but soon found out it’s very political and on a climate change high. I deleted within minutes. ### 1/5 — Misleading *2025-10-15, version 3.25.24* App told me I was getting a 7 day free trial and charged me $17. Have tried to contact support on three occasions and have had no response. Avoid ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helping my pace and pitch *2026-08-25, version 3.25.26* This app is very helpful, I like the practice is broken down and scores you as well as providing tips on improvements. It is helpful and is improving my conversation/presentation skills. ### 5/5 — Orai review *2026-04-16, version 3.25.26* Simple speaking practices with examples on how to speak clearly with proper pace. I see the value in working on communication skills so I’m enjoying this. ### 5/5 — AMAZING!!!! *2026-02-01, version 3.25.24* It really helps me with my speech and now I am realizing that speech was not that well. This is very good if you are having trouble presenting. ### 5/5 — Some people thousands of dollars *2025-01-25* Everyone can improve their communications skills. God gave us a voice and we often neglect its use. This app helps not only tune and fine tune the use of voice, but it helps one to value words. It’s one of the best investment one can have especially if you’re not tall, dark and handsome (addressing the guys here). ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-11, version 3.25.23* Omg this app is everything if you want to public speak, it’s so important to sharpen your words and skills when writing or speaking and this app will 100% help with that, it’s really great. ### 5/5 — Great app. *2024-01-03* Great app for improv communication skills ### 5/5 — Speaking skills *2023-09-26* I find the app highly useful because previously I was going to a Toastmaste Club but I moved my job location and it will be complicated to attend to the club . Using the app I save time when practicing because I do not need to attend to other location I can practice in my apartment at any time ### 5/5 — Can’t Access Even with Paid plan *2023-08-15* I cannot log in. When I request to reset my password, it states that links will be sent to my email, but I never received links (not in my inbox, spam, or trash folders). This has been going on for months. No way to contact customer support & it does not recognize my email on the web app. I genuinely like the app, and I hate that I had to write a review to get help. ### 5/5 — My English Students Like It *2023-06-18, version 3.25.15* It’s not for everyone, but if you need to speak better English in front of others, why not first practice how you can effectively voice your thoughts out loud by talking to a parrot app named Orai (the Omu) with Ai metrics that will mirror each delivery of yours in a graphical or understandable way to help you improve your English Speaking Skills (ESS). And this app is cooler looking with nice buttons, colors, and UI functions. It does not help you with vocabulary per say, but it does show you how to make a professional delivery. ((That’s what my students say, anyway. I agree)) ### 5/5 — ਸਕੈਮ ਐਪ *2023-01-15, version 3.25.13* ਇਹ ਐਪ ਫ੍ਰੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
