### 3/5 — I want it to be good

*2026-08-07*

I cannot get my iOS Raycast to sync with macOS or Windows V2. It says it should work now, but I’ve also learned it sinks through a legacy system v1 . In some ways, Raycast is everything. Mac and iOS is missing in other ways. It’s been Sherlock.  And though I think the potential is insanely grand. Right now it’s just not there. Maybe if you went back to the original version of Raycast it would work fine. But it’s hard to go back because v2 has so much potential. But it’s really hard to justify a subscription when it’s not syncing across devices for me. And though the free version is awesome I feel like most of it can be done with spotlight and Shortcuts at this point. I really hope they get it together soon.. it’s just a bit of a buggy mess right now, which is understandable given all their recent advancements, but I may be gone by the time they’re done fixing it all.

### 1/5 — Sem clipboard?

*2026-07-20*

Não tem a função que mais utilizo e que mais tinha interesse no mobile, o Clipboard.

### 3/5 — Missing clipboard feature

*2026-07-17*

Great part of desktop app not available

### 5/5 — Raycast vs Alfred

*2026-07-08*

i’ve been using ALFRED for 10 years or so and it’s pretty awesome and it’s doing more and more for me every day.

But the new truth is Raycast does so many things that my ALFRED cannot do and much of it is available on the iOS devices, which is absolutely a game changer thank you so much!

### 1/5 — Dictation broken

*2026-07-03*

Each time I click the dictate button from the custom keyboard, it keeps sending me back to the actual application instead of leaving me in the keyboard.

Also, it doesn't handle the music properly. The music stops and doesn't restart automatically when I stop dictating.

### 5/5 — The Swiss Army knife for the MCPH and for ADHD people like me

*2026-06-30*

Raycast, at first glance, may seem like a tech enthusiast's tinkerer's box. But underneath, if you really dig deep, you'll find that you have a Swiss Army knife to make something that will make your life a lot easier on what is arguably the most important computing device that you can own: your phone.

Particular attention to MCP, voice dictation, and the availability of all AI LLMs, or at least most of them, at your fingertips, both on the lock screen, the home screen, the widget screen, and on the keyboard in virtually any application.

By connecting your finances, your marketing, your sales CRM, your personal to‑do list, or any other application that might have an MCP server connection available, you can truly, from one hand on your phone from anywhere in the world, quickly summarize, get updates, and even create a new contact from the Raycast app easily, and at the same time synchronize with your iPad and your MacBook. I'm not aware of any other application that can do that right now. So kudos to the Raycast team. Worth every penny.

### 3/5 — Untapped Potential

*2026-06-25*

I would really like to love this app since it has so much potential. So far it is very much limited to Snippets, quick links and and too much AI. Some updates to the Keyboard could make this really useful. Simple thinks like an Emoji picker, clipboard history the ability to togle the Raycast calculator from within the keyboard. Very much hope these updates will come eventually

### 5/5 — German support

*2026-06-20*

Nice app.. plz add german

### 2/5 — Meh

*2026-06-03*

What use ? Just expensive AI tokens, nothing like its « Mac »brother..

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-30*

Thank you for this app, it is lovely
