## Most critical reviews (4 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-12-27*

Don’t bother.  It does nothing.  Except gives you a prompt to donate.  Not intuive.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2020-05-16*

If this worked I would donate but it’s terrible

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

I use this for pronunciation training. 

It’s hands-free and allows you to adjust the decibel threshold and the duration of silence before a recording is automatically ended, which is wonderful. 

Unfortunately, every time I speak, the first moment of the recording is cut off. This means if I’m practicing “hello”, what I hear back is “ello”, every time. 

I would pay for any of these features:

- use a rolling buffer to record constantly, and include the preceding half-second at the beginning of playback, so that I can hear “hello” instead of “ello”

- record and play as a background app, so that I can read sample passages from another app while using this one

- allow me to select which microphone and which speaker are being used. Right now, it uses the iPhone’s, even if I have Bluetooth headphones connected

As a sidenote, there’s a gigantic market for this app in voice therapy and language learning. I would research the relevant fields, and add appropriate keywords to the description. It was surprisingly hard to find an app that does this; I think a lot more people would use it if it were easier to find.

### 5/5 — Rad

*2020-09-07*

Well I play the violin and this helps me a lot it helps me listen to my voice and my the sound of my violin with no trouble. Like it a lot!
Definitely recommend it ✅✅
