Mandatory Paywall - Incredible app but so expensive and limited
firstly, yeah, this app is amazing. best one ive used by a country mile. problem is you get x amount of usage (barely any, actually) and you are hit with a £49.99 per 6 months mandatory fee. As far as I can tell, none of the models work until you pay this, and I am not paying £100 a year for a bloody audio transcription app!!!!! modern apps are so upsetting :( just put ads in the thing!

Great app
I use this app a lot. The most important thing for me is using local models for privacy reasons. This app lets me use Nvidia Parakeet and Apple Intelligence. Both transcribe the audio on the device, and nothing is sent to a third party.
Delightful Time Saver!
Once you get used to using it, Spokenly is a joy to use.
Dropped transcriptions, short trial period
The app repeatedly dropped 1-2 minute voice inputs, causing lost ideas and frustration. On the day I deleted the app, I tried to record a 1-minute voice input once, Spokenly lost it. I tried AGAIN, it lost it again, then took me to the ‘you are out of free use’ screen. So, goodbye.
Brilliant app held back by intrusive prompts
This app is fantastic, and being able to use your own API key is a massive plus. But despite using a third-party key, I am still forced to sit through irrelevant premium nag screens once or twice a day.
There is no reason to upgrade when using your own API, so these constant interruptions are just frustrating enough to make me consider deleting it.
I did email the developer suggesting a monthly option (say £3) to remove the pop-ups while keeping my own key - a win-win for their revenue and our user experience, but didn't hear back.
Currently, it's just too intrusive.
