Help!!!!
Hi Dean,
Stardate crashes immediately every time I try to open it on my iPhone — instant crash, no error message, can’t get past launch. I’ve tried:
• Rebooting the phone
• Deleting the app fully and reinstalling
• (repeating both of the above multiple times)
Nothing has resolved it. Device is an iPhone 15/16 series running the latest iOS.
I’d love to keep using the app (I was using it for voice notes via the Watch complication), but I can’t get it open at all right now. Happy to provide more details — device logs, crash reports, timing of when it started, etc. — if that’s helpful for debugging.
Thanks for building this — hoping there’s a fix!

Crashing
I had it on my watch face but it’s really easy to accidentally start, which I did. It ran for hours. You can’t choose to not save a note once it’s started. Now when I go into the app on my phone, it tries to transcribe that file - won’t let me stop it - and crashes every time. Even deleting and reinstalling didn’t fix the problem. Now I can’t use it.

Great for capturing ideas on the go.
I found Stardate incredibly easy to use, with accurate transcription that turns my spoken words into clean, well-formatted text. The grammar handling is solid too.
I’ve been using it to write a fiction book, and it has worked wonderfully. Instead of stopping to type on my phone whenever an idea struck, I could simply hit record and speak my thoughts out loud—like telling the story to a friend. That natural flow felt far more creative than worrying about spelling, punctuation, or typing speed. I could stay focused on the storyline and characters instead of the mechanics of writing.
It’s perfect for everything from quick, everyday tasks like drafting a letter or email to much bigger projects, such as outlining and writing my 20-chapter book. Highly recommended if you want a fast, easy way to capture your thoughts — they’re already in a clean digital format, ready for you to develop further later.

Suggestions
Love this App so far! I know it’s in early development that’s why I give 5 stars! I just have some suggestions. Is it possible to include the option to delete the voicenote but keep the transcript (storage reasons) and also I unfortunately don’t see an indication on my apple watch when I talk, maybe that can be added. After these it would be the perfect app!

It just WORKS!
I desperately needed an app for quick “mind dump” notes that (1) transcribed them (2) had a watch complication, and (3) actually, consistently WORKS. I’ve tried more of them than I’d care to admit, but an aggravating majority of them failed #3 - and what good is an important thought that you fleetingly remember if it disappears into the ether? Stardate is simple, meets all of my requirements, and (also critically important), it’s the one that “stuck.” I deleted the rest. GREAT WORK!
