### 1/5 — Awful experience

*2025-10-27*

Didn’t like it at all

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-04-22*

Paid for the service but it doesn't do anything good at all. This app is a scam they don't have customer service and the email they had on their site is a personal hotmail email. No one is responding. I wish I had checked the red flags before paying for this. They won't refund it the bank cannot track this charge and this app doesn't work. The transcript that they have is very very confusing the words are repetitive and is not even forming a proper sentence.

### 1/5 — Constantly preparing the file!

*2024-11-11, version 1.1.240*

Never received the finished transcript

### 3/5 — Can’t delete your transcriptions

*2024-08-05*

It’s a simple feature that needs to be added, a trash can to delete forever what you wish of your own dictations. I don’t want my stuff sitting there after I download it to where I want it saved. I cannot edit them either. Emailed the developer with no response. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars, but if I cannot delete or even edit my mistakes, then this app is just ok. Paid for premium too with no added features, except that you are able to use it.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-05-18, version 1.1.224*

I purchased this app for the folder feature but the record button doesn’t work!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-03-03, version 1.1.213*

Great idea, but the app doesn’t work. 
How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Not working

*2024-01-24*

The app give error not enable for dictation

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-01-15, version 1.1.207*

Records nothing in live transcription mode

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-09-26*

Got an error saying the Enable Dictation feature must be turned on. I already turned that feature on in my General settings. Tried restarting the app and my iPad. Still getting the error

### 1/5 — One chance under free.  Then nada!

*2023-06-17*

You get one chance and you’re free and then you have to pay. I downloaded it and tried it once and that once didn’t even work — no transcription — despite giving all the permissions etc.  After that I wasn’t able to do anything else — it just kept popping up the yearly subscription option.  So. While it is cheap, I’m still not paying for it without proof it will meet my needs.  

I suspect at this price point it’s what they say, “You get what you pay for.”
