There is no way to cancel!!! *2025-12-15, version 2.6* I have been trying to cancel for months and there is no way to cancel, no one to contact to help you. It’s a lie they say “cancel anytime”. Beware! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work *2025-12-12* I purchased a subscription and the app doesn’t even work. It doesn’t upload the video so I can’t edit it. This app is useless ### 1/5 — What is the point? *2025-12-12, version 2.6* Why ruin a great desktop product with a useless app that charges an additional $5 a month? And doesn’t let you log into your existing account. What is the use case? If they are two separate products make that clear. ### 1/5 — Nothing Uploaded *2025-11-20, version 1.2* Tested uploading on different sized files & photos. Nothing uploaded into “projects”. Zero productivity accomplished. Cancelled subscription. Will investigate further. ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2025-11-19, version 1.2* Terrible ### 1/5 — Fraud *2025-11-18, version 1.2* This is an app designed to look like Descript. ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-11-15, version 1.2* Didnt edit the video image at all, a complete waste and their contact us page is not in English. Wouldn’t recommend purchasing. ### 1/5 — Useless- *2025-11-15, version 1.2* needs the functionality to link to main desktop account and allow users to upload files from mobile ### 1/5 — Slow, Cannot handle large files *2025-11-11, version 1.2* I wanted to use this app for video editing prior to uploading content. Unfortunately it takes forever just to load the video- and could only handle video under 4 minutes. No option to remove filler words. Will not continue my subscription. May be more helpful for audio only content. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They are impersonating Descript AI. *2026-01-06, version 2.6* Please beware. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-01-06, version 2.6* Does not transcribe audio at all. I uploaded a simple 10 minute voice note and i keep getting an error message. ### 1/5 — Useless App *2026-01-04, version 2.6* The App is basically useless. I don’t know if I can access the desktop version or if I have to pay for it again. If so I will go with something more useful. ### 1/5 — It is not working . *2026-01-02, version 2.6* I got weekly subscribtion and i was not able to process even one file. Basiclly it is not responsive. ### 1/5 — Download the other app! Not this one *2025-12-29, version 2.6* This is a waste of money. The app version is useless and the online version is useless. Takes forever to upload. This entire app is useless. Can i have a refund please! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-27, version 2.6* Paid $5 couldn’t upload a video or audio at all. Trash tbh.. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-12-24, version 2.6* I purchased the app and it doesn’t work. I upload a video to have it auto edited and I can click the “generate” button to have the action done. So frustrating. ### 1/5 — Scam | nothing works *2025-12-22, version 2.6* Absolute junk. They take your money and then when you open the app, there’s nothing there. ### 1/5 — NOT/NOT Affiliated with Descript Software - DO NOT PURCHASE *2025-12-21, version 2.6* This is not associated with Descript editing software. It is a deceptive scam. When I reported this scam app to the Descript help chatbot it informed me that Descript does not have ANY MOBILE APP. So not this one, not any app. I reported this app for misleading/fradulent activity to the Apple App Store and so should you. If you were looking for a mobile workaround like I was, the real Descript has lots so just ask their very helpful AI. Also this app doesn’t even have a free or trial version- literally designed to trick you into thinking you’re getting the mobile version of your awesome Descript software to steal your money. REPORT if you have been scammed. And it sucks- look at the other reviews about (complete lack of) functionality. Save your money spent on this worthless app and get CapCut for your phone-based editing needs, or ask the real (desktop/browser-based) Descript AI for help with your workarounds. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-12-16, version 2.6* It didn’t even try to upload my video. I got nothing. I cancelled with a week left on the subscription and it wouldn’t let me back in the app. Kept prompting me to purchase. Do not download. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Made my life easier! *2026-01-04, version 2.6* I am a content creator and this app has increased my editing speed profoundly. I highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Love it 5 stars *2026-01-03, version 2.6* So good ### 5/5 — Can’t actually edit on phone app *2025-12-20, version 2.6* It’s a little confusing at first because you can’t edit on the phone. You can upload and transcribe the video but that’s it. You have to don to the desktop to edit the video. I thought I downloaded the bootleg version or something. There are not any instructions on the app and I paid for a year and it just kept telling me to upgrade. I’m like I’ve already paid for a year at the almost highest plan and I can’t get any instructions on what to do. I had to look it up but I got it now. ### 5/5 — Such a useful editing feature *2025-11-20* I love how easy it is to edit the transcription directly. Highlight, cut, or add notes effortlessly. It’s a real time-saver! ### 5/5 — Excellent for podcast! *2025-11-18* This app is perfect for podcasters like me. It helps transcribe episodes quickly, making show notes and subtitles a breeze 👏🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing transcription tool! *2025-11-18* This app makes turning speech into text simple and fast. It catches every word accurately, which saves me tons of editing time👍 ### 2/5 — No way to use online subscription. Disappointing! *2025-12-21, version 2.6* I already subscribe to the online version of DescriptAI. There doesn't seem to be a way to sign in to use this app. Very disappointed that they would try charging customers twice. ### 2/5 — Login *2025-11-25, version 1.2* Can’t login with my main account.
