### 4/5 — Cool app but

*2025-04-24, version 1.9.7*

15 seconds is not enough for me. I’d like at least 2 minutes of hands free recording or ideally an infinite option.

### 2/5 — Not functioning

*2024-09-24, version 1.9.7*

I had high hopes for this and the simple design and auto upload to dropbox. It doesn’t work well on Apple Watch -no function to stop recordings without cancelling out of the app, hard to do a quick note without fiddling with your watch. I wanted something that would automatically upload from my watch via the phone to dropbox, no dice. Auto seems to be phone only. Not eligible for refund.

### 3/5 — Great on iPhone! (Not on Watch, though.)

*2023-12-15*

It’s one of the best and the most useful apps I have on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the Watch app just does not work. I am on Series 9 of Apple Watch and finally took Say&Go off because it’s useless from the watch and frustrating when I see it. You can make a recording, but it never goes to the iPhone.

### 3/5 — annoying bug on apple watch

*2023-12-09*

when using the complication on the apple watch it keeps putting up a "hint" that tells you you can use it as a complication.  when you can el the hint comes back - over and over forever.

and i started it from a complication in the first place

### 3/5 — Great on iPhone! (Not on Watch, though.)

*2023-11-20*

It’s one of the best and the most useful apps I have on my iPhone. Unfortunately, the Watch app just does not work. I am on my second series of Apple Watch and finally took Say&Go off because it’s useless from the watch and frustrating when I see it.

### 2/5 — Not working with Apple Watch

*2023-11-18, version 1.9.7*

It’s not working—or at least properly—on the Apple Watch Series 8 . There’s no way to stop the recording on the watch except to hit one of the side buttons. No badge comes up reminding you that you left yourself a message, even when it does record, which normally it doesn’t. The loss of that ability makes it no different from most of the other apps.

### 3/5 — Not working with Apple Watch

*2023-09-15*

Also much clunkier after recent update.

### 3/5 — Creo que podria valer mucho la pena

*2022-09-23, version 1.9.7*

Creo que es una aplicacion buena pero no me envia las grabaciones a mi aplicacion de tareas que es tick tick

### 3/5 — Apple Watch recording

*2022-04-05, version 1.9.7*

The settings on the iOS app have a time setting but for WatchOS it is only set for 1min… I looked through Watch app & there are no setting to change WatchOS time signature… It is a hassle b/c the Watch is supposed to be a quicker way to record notes… There is no way to stop the recording when you’re done so you have to wait 1min… Aside from that difficulty I’m experiencing the app seems to be perfect for what it’s intended for…

Upon further review I don’t want to be reminded of a recording… there needs to be a way to disable the reminder setting seeing that there’s only 5-60mins…

The app creates a file for your saved recordings but if you create a folder for specific recordings it doesn’t redirect them to said file…

### 3/5 — Only 15 seconds

*2021-08-02*

Why it’s only 15 seconds? I need to record my speech which takes 3 to 5 minutes. Is this a joke ?

### 1/5 — Unusable watch app, indifferent support

*2024-11-02*

I attempted to contact support twice to provide constructive feedback on the terrible Apple Watch implementation. No response. Hello is anyone listening?

App does not correspond to settings. Illogical user interface. Ugg

### 1/5 — Not accessible

*2024-07-10, version 1.9.7*

The app sounded great for me as I’m vision impaired. No need to type. However it does not use dynamic text and the text is very small and grey. So I cannot see it. 

What a pity as there is lots of white space to utilise

### 1/5 — Apple Watch 9 keine Sprachübertragung

*2024-01-05, version 1.9.7*

Auf meiner neuen Apple Watch 9 funktioniert die Übertragung einer Sprachnachricht auf das Handy nicht mehr!! Warum ist das nicht mehr möglich. Auf meiner Apple Watch 6 waren die Übertragungen unproblematisch.

### 1/5 — Good Idea, Immature Code

*2023-08-22, version 1.9.7*

The ideas behind the user interface are very well thought out, but the actual implementation has lots of issues. The “play”controls appear over the reminder list in such a way as to occasionally delete the wrong one. The Bluetooth connection consistently plays an ap on the phone after it finishes recording whether one was playing f before or not. Really annoying if you were enjoying a quiet ride. Issues intermittently arise with the number of reminders you can archive and renaming has issues.   No support and no user manual. If this product were mature, it would be very good.

### 1/5 — APP ABBANDONATA.

*2022-01-12, version 1.9.7*

Non fanno un aggiornamento da più di due anni.
Questa è un’app abbandonata che andrebbe rimossa dallo Store

### 1/5 — Carp

*2021-12-07, version 1.9.7*

Don’t work

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2021-04-05, version 1.9.7*

I bought this only to be able to record and send to my e-mail. The email function does not work. "E-mail message cannot be composed now. Try again later."

### 1/5 — No voice to text option really???

*2020-02-20, version 1.9.7*

voice to text option really???

### 1/5 — Bedienbarkeit hält nicht was sie verspricht

*2018-10-28, version 1.9.5*

Irgendwie ist mir eine App die nur diesen einen Zweck hat zu kompliziert. Das ginge besser

Und wenn ich auf der Apple Watch Notizen aufnehme, werden die trotz anders lautender Einstellung nicht automatisch versendet :-(

### 5/5 — Andy is Heick

*2023-12-16*

The best part of this app is the guy used the age old design paradigm of keep it simple. So far it’s working fine and the good thing is it has a lot of options and where to put your recording.

### 5/5 — Top Organisationstool

*2022-11-18, version 1.9.7*

Liebe Programmierer von Say&Go,
ich habe Euch ja schon mal eine sehr positive Bewertung der App geschrieben und möchte mein fast uneingeschränktes Lob bei dieser Gelegenheit wiederholen. Say&Go hat sich bei mir seit Jahren im harten Alltagseinsatz als wichtiger Helfer bestens bewährt und entlastet mein Kurzzeitgedächtnis zu 90 %.
2 Kleinigkeiten in der App kosten unnötige Zeit, weshalb ich 2 Programmiervorschläge machen möchte:
1. auch bei regelmäßigem Gebrauch verwechselt man beim Aufnahme-Vorgang immer wieder den Rechtswisch (für eine längere Aufnahmezeit) mit dem Linkswisch (zum Löschen der Aufnahme); an dieser Stelle passiert es häufig, dass Aufnahmen versehentlich gelöscht werden. Dieses Problem wäre sehr einfach zu lösen durch 2 Pfeile unterhalb des Kreises „Geblieben x Sekunden“; Pfeil nach rechts mit Symbol zum Beispiel „60 Sekunden“, Pfeil nach links mit Symbol Papierkorb.
2. die Nachbearbeitung der Liste mit den aufgelaufenen Audiodateien braucht viel zu viel Zeit: Hier fehlt ein vielleicht noch durch eine Sicherheitsfrage geschützter Button „Alle neuen Aufnahmen löschen“ (oder dergleichen). Das Nachbearbeiten mit Setzen eines Häkchens bei jeder einzelnen Datei ist fummelig, störanfällig und zeitaufwändig. Ich gehe davon aus, dass auch die anderen User alle neuen Aufnahmen auf einen Sitz abarbeiten und diese dann gern auch auf einen Sitz löschen würden. Dazu kommt: Das gut bewährte OneTouch-System für die Aufnahme der Audionotizen hat unvermeidlich zur Folge, dass Leeraufnahmen vorkommen, die ebenfalls abgearbeitet, bzw. gelöscht werden müssen. Das hat zur Folge, dass die Liste der neuen Audiodateien in der Regel deutlich länger ist, als die tatsächlich beabsichtigten Audioaufnahmen. 
Die App Say and Go ist nach jahrelangem Gebrauch ein fester Bestandteil meines Alltags, für den ich sehr dankbar bin. Mit dieser One -Touch- Aufnahmemöglichkeit für Notizen vergesse ich praktisch nichts mehr. Genial ist inzwischen auch der völlig berührungslose Gebrauch am Steuer „Hey Siri öffne Say and Go“. Ich sehe noch kleine (, aber unbedeutende) Verbesserungsmöglichkeiten, zum Beispiel eine Einstellung für „alles löschen“ – das Löschen der Notizen braucht immer ziemlich viel Zeit. Schließlich misslingt mir auch nach mehrjährigem Gebrauch immer noch der „Verlängerungs-Wisch“ auf 60 Sekunden Aufnahmedauer; wie wäre es stattdessen mit zweifachem Berühren irgendwo auf dem Bildschirm, so dass auch die Verlängerung ohne Visuelle Kontrolle erfolgen kann? Trotz diese Kleinigkeiten ein großes Kompliment an die Autoren.

### 5/5 — You have no idea how many lives you just changed.

*2022-04-23*

I am so happy I could cry. You just changed thousands of lives in the adhd community. I have lost jobs because I couldn’t keep track of my notes. They’re everywhere! I’ve written on my arms (because my hands were covered in notes). I’ve used sticky notes, note pads, iPhone notes, what’s app, text, adhd pro planner, weekly planner, plain journal, pocket journal, I have literally called my 93 year old grandmother and had her make a note then remind me the next day. Nothing ever works! I either forget about the note entirely or go crazy trying to remember where I stored it. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Need a spokeswoman? I’m your girl.

### 5/5 — Ideal para no perder ideas

*2022-03-26, version 1.9.7*

En el momento que se te ocurre algo que deseas recordar más tarde solo tiene que pulsar el icono de la app y ponerte a hablar. Sería ideal incluir la transcripción del texto

### 5/5 — Extremely Useful!

*2021-12-18*

I have been trying to use work-arounds like IFTTT, different voice or note recorders, and many others to get something which works EXACTLY as well as Say & Go. It does the one thing I want it to do; quickly and efficiently record a thought on the go and put it where I can find it later.  
Fantastic app! Thank you!

### 5/5 — Très bien

*2021-10-12, version 1.9.7*

Simple et efficace, merci!

### 5/5 — For simple voice notes

*2021-01-29*

It turns on recording as soon as I open the app who h is exactly what I wanted. 
Once recorded I upload my note to google drive automatically where I always retrieve all my notes from. 

Works well if you have a simple method for recording voice memos

### 5/5 — Good support too

*2020-04-08*

Best app for quick notes on the go

### 5/5 — Review

*2019-09-22, version 1.9.7*

Excellent app !

### 5/5 — sehr praktisch

*2019-05-10, version 1.9.6*

Vorab: ich benutze die App nicht auf der Apple Watch. Und ich verschiebe die Files auch nicht per Mail o.ä. 
⏺ Ich nehme einfach unterwegs mit nur einem Tap Notizen und kurze Erinnerungen auf. Das geht schneller als mit Tippen in Notizen oder der Aufnahme App von Apple. Funktioniert hervorragend.
