I thought by doing that it would finally work but it never did. Now it just says failed to process. If you need reliability this is not it. I even sent a message asking for support and never got a response. Use at your own discretion. ### 4/5 — Very good *2025-10-31, version 1.1.5* I like this app very much, it’s easy to use. It only takes a few minutes to transcribe a YouTube video. I just wish that it worked on YouTube videos that were previously live streams, they have a different url pattern that the app doesn’t accept. ### 1/5 — Error Starting transcription *2025-09-12, version 1.1.5* The message popped out when trying to transcribe any videos ### 1/5 — Rubbish App! *2025-08-29, version 1.1.5* Fail to do what it claims! it can’t transcribe nearly 99% of the YouTube videos, and the setting of the App is gone after recent update ### 1/5 — A liar *2025-07-31, version 1.1.3* Do not download and install ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-06-20, version 1.1.3* I updated per the dev response but now I get “Error starting transcription” message upon trying youtube transcription. Before it was limited to 10h transcription, however, why do I need “unlimited transcription time” now if the app does not work! There’s no point! ### 1/5 — Free App *2025-06-20, version 1.1.3* Not Free. Wants to charge me $1.99. How to get FREE APP TODAY ### 1/5 — 寫0元結果卻要收費 *2025-06-19, version 1.1.3* 上面寫Lifetime 0元，刷下去才知道變收費60元，不誠實的公司 ### 1/5 — 騙人的APP *2025-06-19, version 1.1.3* 明明顯示Life time收費為0 為何按購買之後卻被收60元 覺得有被騙的感覺 ### 1/5 — Lost all my transcripts after app updated *2025-06-12, version 1.1.3* This is not the first time for losing transcripts after apps update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2025-12-18, version 1.1.5* For a few weeks it worked perfectly but lately it will not transcribe any youtube video. ### 1/5 — Transcription Failed Sorry, we could not transcribe this video at this time. Please try another vide *2025-12-01, version 1.1.5* Transcription Failed Sorry, we could not transcribe this video at this time. Please try another video. ### 1/5 — Tồi tệ *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* Nó cho đăng ký lifetime mà vẫn trừ tiền. ### 1/5 — 說限時免費但要注意有沒有偷偷扣款 *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* 2025/11/24說限時免費但半夜卻偷偷扣款，一早看到真的很無言.. ### 1/5 — Inaccurate *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* 2:30 second recording and it got about 10 words right Couldn’t see how to edit a transcript to correct it. I’ll just use the built in iPhone one which is way more accurate. This app is expensive and it doesn’t deliver. ### 1/5 — 記得申請退款 *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* 感謝各位的提醒我沒被騙，誤刷的記得可以去申請退款 ### 1/5 — Scam lifetime App Offer *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* Scam lifetime App Offer for free ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-11-24, version 1.1.5* Stated app was. To be free and trying to charge a fee ### 1/5 — 按右上角的 Upgrade，看到 Lifetime 價格顯示為$0 ，卻收了台幣150元。 *2025-11-23, version 1.1.5* 按右上角的 Upgrade，看到 Lifetime 價格顯示為$0 ，卻收了台幣150元。 ### 1/5 — Free but not free *2025-09-24, version 1.1.5* The app was released for free lifetime subscription on AppAdvice daily. When I downloaded the app there is no free lifetime subscription. The developer should test their own app when they release something or put a new feature out. I won't change my review until I get free lifetime subscription!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is awesome *2026-04-14, version 1.1.6* Very accurate video to Text transcribed. Also chat with AI feature, that feature was amazing ### 5/5 — Works Great! *2026-01-12, version 1.1.6* This app has helped me tremendously for I listen to a lot of preaching on YouTube and I am not a good note taker. This has solved that issue for me! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Volume of the recorded session is too low *2026-01-08, version 1.1.5* I tried listening to the recorded voice and found out that the volume is extremely low. Please fix it. With Kind Regards ~ ### 5/5 — Works great! *2025-12-14, version 1.1.5* If you get Pro lifetime version, it works great for transcribing YouTube videos. Love it! ### 5/5 — 總算買對一個APP了 *2025-11-25, version 1.1.5* UI設計簡潔順暢，語音抓取、摘要到位，翻譯也準確，AI問答統整的一清二楚。 ### 5/5 — Incredible summaries! Great simple interface. *2025-11-23, version 1.1.5* Been using this for several months and I love it. I mostly use it to record meetings and lectures. It gives outstanding summaries that I can refer back to later. Also great for summarizing long podcasts and YouTube videos. Great way to get the latest financial and tech news. ### 5/5 — I recommend great app *2025-09-24, version 1.1.5* My update review after testing the app for a while. Love the clean interface, easy copy text & share . It’s definitely accurate transcripts both summary & full. The functionality is great 👍 I’m able to copy the transcript easily and save it. Definitely recommend Great job 👏 to the developers ### 5/5 — The best *2025-07-17, version 1.1.3* So far this is one of the best transcribing and note taking apps! Thank you very much to the developers for this gem! ### 5/5 — Not perfect neither is Siri *2025-06-20, version 1.1.3* Admittedly I’ve only used up my 10 hours (just upgraded to premium). It isn’t perfect “Siri” makes errors too….. it’s a note taker not a transcription app (doesn’t separate individual voices). For it’s purpose (note taking) it does what it says it does. ### 5/5 — Works great! *2025-06-19, version 1.1.3* If you get Pro lifetime version, it works great for transcribing YouTube videos.
