Excuse this through dictation it’s not that good. But the app is ### 2/5 — Text messaging *2021-02-03, version 1.0.12* I want a recorder to send via message but doesnt offer just email ### 5/5 — Not bad at all *2021-01-17, version 1.0.12* This app does exactly what it says and the clarity is really nice ...good job 👍 Also easy to make either a text message or an email and send it again ...good job 👍😁 ### 2/5 — Canceling due to getting a full screen as of Donald Trump *2020-10-03, version 1.0.11* I have to delete your ads in every text (which should be optional and at a minimum shorter than what is put in the text with autofill). Also, because the majority of Americans do not support a man who is encouraging violence by extremist, was accused of raping a 13 yr old, and openly discussed his privilege to grab women, I must cancel your app after receiving a full-page ad in my phone of him. I will not pay 0.99 to avoid that. The service is not that valuable at $12 annually for that. ### 5/5 — Speak and send *2020-04-06, version 1.0.10* It is the best app l have ever got be for and it’s free🤑✌️ ### 3/5 — It’s alright *2020-03-08, version 1.0.10* Easy to use and functional. One thing I would like to see is that you remove the link to buy the app. As a business owner, I don’t want to advertise your business for you unless I choose to. ### 4/5 — Just one thing *2019-03-01, version 1.0.9* I only have one complaint about the app, I wish I could choose the length of my messages ### 5/5 — Good with couple bugs *2019-02-21, version 1.0.9* Overall good and fills a gap that other platforms make much easier. I wish there was a way to remove the tag line that goes with when sent “Sent with Speak N Send xxxx” would even pay a one time fee for that. ### 5/5 — New Feature *2018-08-27, version 1.0.9* Works great. Should have a feature to default an email to send to when using to record self reminders. ### 1/5 — Review of record and send *2018-08-10, version 1.0.9* Very hard to use with IPhone ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2024-11-22, version 1.0.12* Completely worthless app do not waste your time or money! ### 1/5 — Demands $ or won’t record 5 sec or more *2023-11-26, version 1.0.12* After 3rd use it began to ask for 99cents to get unlimited recordings and time. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2022-12-27, version 1.0.12* I downloaded the app and Even paid additional cost to remove the time limit And the app is not working at all when you hit the record button it does nothing and won’t playback anything ### 1/5 — 20seconds *2022-12-09, version 1.0.12* I paid for more than 20 second recordings and I am unable to do that shut off in 20 seconds and I paid to the AppStore 99 since I love it was a one time feature and I was still trying to figure out how to work it or what but I am unhappy with this product. And it stoleMarcian1973$.99 for me. ### 1/5 — Not worth the space it takes up *2022-11-15, version 1.0.12* It doesn’t give you no time to record before cutting u off!!!! I even paid the $0.99 to have record time removed and it gave me an all of 10mins seconds!!!! You can’t even record 20 seconds!!!!! Not worth it all!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not good. *2022-02-14, version 1.0.12* Pointless. The recording time is way to short and will just cut you off. Not timer to gage how long you got ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2020-11-26, version 1.0.12* I paid the extra $2 to get longer recording time and ad free... doesn’t work. I record and try to send via email and it just stays stuck till I hit cancel draft. Very disappointed. It is recording but not sending... ### 1/5 — Cuts Audio *2020-05-17, version 1.0.10* This app cuts you off before you have completed your message. A complete waste of money. Don’t purchase. ### 1/5 — Terrible scam format useless app *2019-11-09, version 1.0.9* Unauthorized charges and no way to stop or cancel. Fraud. ### 1/5 — No settings Can't pause to breath *2018-11-19, version 1.0.9* you start recording in a soon as you pass to see the next word you want to send The audio files for gives you options just message or email. So you really cannot record a complete thought or you have to be short and continue talking nonstop talking otherwise it will want to send whatever it recorded and you have no options or settings to change that and continue with same recording until you are satisfied. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good Productivity App! *2025-02-21, version 1.0.12* Very convenient and easy to use. It’s especially useful for eliminating long text message or times when you are unable to text. ### 5/5 — First message I’ve ever sent *2024-05-27, version 1.0.12* A little nervous and I didn’t know how to preview ….. so I just sent it! ### 5/5 — There’s An App for that! *2023-08-03, version 1.0.12* Ha. Imagine. Hemorrhoid. Uh I mean Android owners SWORE they had us APPeLitEs “beat”.. With their finally-evolved sms voice messages. NAAA! GAT EEM! 😂 ### 5/5 — What a Neat App! *2023-07-19, version 1.0.12* I'm not technically savvy, but when family started using audio texts, I had to try something. This free app Works Great, easy to use; especially for short verbal messages. Many Thanks! ### 5/5 — It’s FREE and it WORKS *2023-03-31, version 1.0.12* Okay so one time it didn’t send for some reason, the parsing might be getting corrupted if you tap email or message Ivón really fast after recording or something. But it’s feee and it actually works for the simple task I need! I’d add like five more seconds to the free users but that’s just me haha. Also maybe a simple countdown timer would be good just so you know how much time you have left, but you can gauge it if not, either way low priority. Love the simplicity of it, works fast, and works as intended. Now I can message all my android friends LOLL ### 5/5 — par excelante *2022-07-08, version 1.0.12* Par excelante , grazie ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2022-04-26, version 1.0.12* THE BEST APP ### 5/5 — Best Productivity Hack! *2021-12-09, version 1.0.12* I drive 85,000 miles a year. I probably use this 5-10 times a day. When I get an idea, have a question, need a reminder or have an epiphany! No time limit on messages that I have found. Fantastic app. ### 5/5 — It works *2021-11-03, version 1.0.12* I just rediscovered this app. I can now use this for someone who refuses to read text messages, is usually unavailable (business contact) & doesn’t have a iPhone. Thank God. It’s worth it to remove time limits & ads at a $1 each. ### 5/5 — Not working *2021-09-30, version 1.0.12* I bought the app but now its not compatible with Ios15 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
