So helpful

So helpful
I am getting older and I read lips to help me but this app is amazing
I love hvg transcripts to refer back to if I’m not hearing info and understanding the message

Worth the price

Exceptional value

This not for Deaf

This similar to TTY without the operator third party. Mostly hearing has no patience and hang up.

Better than Captioncall

I’m hearing impaired and am so glad that I found a better app. I always did have difficulty in hearing what people are saying on the phone. Initially I was using Captioncall app and was not to pleased using it as it didn’t provide any international calls at all. I wanted to talk with my close relatives in another country and Rylo app provide free calls internationally so that made me so happy! I can finally talk with my relatives. This app is so useful and helpful for me to communicate with my friends and family. Not only that it also helps transcribe what people are saying to you when you’re having trouble hearing when going out to stores, hospitals or restaurants etc… I find that very helpful. Am so glad I found this app. Thank you for developing it.
