### 1/5 — App defectuosa

*2026-02-15, version 1.99*

Se supone que al pagar el plan semanal, iba a poder importar un audio propio y me darían la transcripción. Pero desde que pagué, solo me dejó usar como ejemplo el audio de prueba que trae predeterminada la app. La aplicación no sirve, voy q cancelar en este momento. No da lo que ofrece, mi experiencia fue mala y eso que no la usé ni 10 minutos debido a la falla.

### 1/5 — JE DÉCONSEIL

*2026-02-08, version 1.98*

Cette application bugue et ne vous laisse pas le choix. J’ai eu du mal à quitter l’application : ça voulait me forcer à payer !

### 1/5 — ばけばけ

*2026-02-05, version 1.98*

使えないクソアプリ

### 1/5 — NON È GRATUITA

*2026-01-01, version 1.97*

Costa un sacco di soldi e non è gratuita! Non ci puoi fare nulla se non paghi 8€ di abbonamento settimanale o 80€ l’anno.

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2025-12-17, version 1.97*

It says 3 days free trial but it’s a big fat lie!

### 1/5 — Travou ao gerar texto

*2025-12-13, version 1.97*

Quando eu fui utilizar, ele simplesmente trava e não gera nenhum texto

### 1/5 — Continual failure to load link

*2025-12-06, version 1.97*

Sorry, but right off, the app failed to load any link to audio I wanted transcribed.

### 1/5 — its confusing

*2025-11-27, version 1.97*

i searched for a FREE AI app ,,, transcriber arrives on my screen with 30 seconds its asking me to pay ,,

### 1/5 — Não compensa

*2025-11-13, version 1.95*

Precisa fazer plano pra poder fazer teste gratuito

### 4/5 — App charge me after I cancel

*2025-11-12, version 1.95*

I have annual plan and you charge me again annually.

### 1/5 — not free

*2025-10-13, version 1.89*

it’s literally called “transcribe” but you can’t transcribe anything without paying for the subscription. if it was cheap, fine, i’d pay for it. but it costs R$500/year (my currency), TRIPLEZ the price of Goodnotes Pro which also transcribes and summarizes notes plus all the other amazing features it has. worst app i’ve ever tried

### 1/5 — Do not purchase

*2026-07-18, version 2.13*

I did a 1 week subscription and cancelled before the auto renew. They charged me anyway, getting a refund has been a headache. Use another app.

### 1/5 — Unable to Upload Files with Annual Subscription

*2026-07-07, version 2.12*

Hello,

Even though I have an annual subscription, I haven’t been able to upload any new files for the past few weeks. Because of this issue, I have been unable to use the service as intended.

I have already tried the basic troubleshooting steps, but the problem still hasn’t been resolved.

Since I am paying for a service that I have been unable to use, I expect this issue to be fixed as soon as possible. If it cannot be resolved promptly, I would like a refund for the period during which the service has been unusable.

Please investigate this issue and get back to me as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Ni un audio te deja transcribir sin que tengas plan. Y cuando le das a rehacer con IA se atasca y tienes que salir de la app

### 1/5 — Misleading Ads

*2026-05-22, version 2.09*

Di layar utama menulis gratis selamanya tanpa batasan, setelah itu muncul opsi berlangganan.  Tidak masalah jika berbayar, tetapi menulis pengguna dengan menulis gratis selamanya sangan menyesatkan

### 1/5 — No es gratis

### 1/5 — Ehhh…

*2026-03-15, version 2.05*
