There is no speaker recognition, which makes longer recordings hard to follow. It struggles with imported audio files — with longer ones, it often freezes or fails to produce any transcript at all. In my case, a 30-minute file was processed but no transcription was generated. It only works reliably with very short files or recordings made directly in the app, and even then without distinguishing speakers. Overall, not suitable for more demanding use. ★★☆☆☆ ### 2/5 — Něco dělám špatně? *2026-03-26, version 14.0.5* Testuji. Zkouším přepsat záznam. To Diktafon udělá. Ale v přepisu jsou chyby. A protože je přepis rozdělený do odstavců podle odmlk v řeči, musím dělat opravy podle těchto částí. Po úpravě dám Uložit a následně mi appka zobrazuje, že žádný přepis neexistuje. Po spuštění nového přepisu vidím, že opravy zůstaly, ale za původním přepisem se vygeneroval další., opět s původními chybami. A tak to jde s úpravou každého odstavce, takže minutový záznam z přepisem na 6 odstavců má nakonec odstavců 36. To asi není úplně ok. Neumím si představit pracovat se záznamem třeba 15 min a více. ### 3/5 — No se recuperan notas de voz eliminadas *2026-01-22, version 13.8.3* Cuál es la opción para recuperar una nota de voz eliminada ? Ayúdenme ocupo recuperar una ### 4/5 — Got significantly worse a few months ago. *2025-12-31, version 13.8.2* I use this app primarily to record borderline domestic abuse, so my review might not be what most people need, but until this year, the app worked pretty flawlessly, recording reliably hours on end if needed. After one of the updates this year (perhaps the one where the end recording button was changed to the saving tick? Not sure) this app randomly stops recording, sometimes I enter it and the recording is paused, sometimes it's completely gone. ### 1/5 — Recensione *2025-11-12, version 13.6.1* Applicazione completamente limitata manca la trascrizione che è limitata a tre minuti. Sbaglia molto i termini assolutamente non valida per le trascrizioni di testi audio! ### 1/5 — App *2025-10-21, version 13.6.0* No descarga la aplicación ### 1/5 — User dashboard not great *2025-10-20, version 13.4.0* Can’t Change the language on the recorded summary. ### 3/5 — Good app, could be great *2025-10-01, version 13.4.0* Great recorder. Some recommendations, since I use this daily. 1. It should be easier to rename the files. Once, when you click on it from the main page, and then I should be able to rename again when you’re already in the file, playing the recording. Right now you can only do it from the main page. 2. You should also be able to use the same name for multiple files. Sometimes I’m working on the same thing in multiple recordings. I have to go back through my files to see what number I last used. Ex. Rock song. Then rock song 1. Rock song 2. But I could have last worked on this song a month ago. Now I have to go back through and look at what I last titled it. 3. From my phones Lock Screen, the next buttons are backwards. 4. It’s difficult to edit the recordings. ### 1/5 — LENTITUD *2025-09-13, version 13.2.1* Está empezando a fallar al reproducir los audios se lagueaaa arréglenlo ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — платно *2026-06-14* если я хочу загрузить звукозапись то ваше в маем мнение вы на последним месте тут все платно просто удалите это хоть моей доче 8 то она растроилась иза того точто платно ### 1/5 — 어플삭제가 안되요 *2026-04-23* 도와주세요 이거 돈나가는지 몰랐어요 어플삭제가 안되요 ### 1/5 — Платное *2026-04-16* Диктофон за деньги? Удалить это ### 1/5 — 辞める *2026-04-10* 辞めるには ### 1/5 — Mierdón *2026-03-19, version 14.0.2* Está puta mierda directamente me dice “imposible reproducir la grabación”sin explicación ni motivo alguno, entonces para que te tengo?, perdí las grabaciones de mis clases y me vengo a dar cuenta ahora que tengo certamen, ahórrense instalarse esta puta mierda hay muchas grabadoras que si cumplen su trabajo👍 ### 1/5 — Scammers 🚨 *2026-03-01, version 14.0.2* I canceled my subscription and they are still charging it and I do not recommend to anyone ### 1/5 — Not free, expensive. Just use your built in voice memos *2026-02-22, version 14.0.2* I was looking for a discreet way to record conversations between me and my partner when I had stumbled upon this app. Do not believe any review that labels this as free software, I was appalled to see that you need to pay $29.95 just to use a feature that is just as accessible for free on apple, as well as android devices. ### 1/5 — Cuidado *2026-02-04, version 14.0.0* En IPhone te suscribes sin darte cuenta, no aparece ningún mensaje de que vas a ser suscrito con cargo a tarjeta de crédito que tienes asociada en tu cuenta de Apple. Mala forma de vender. ### 1/5 — Transkribiert nicht *2026-01-26, version 13.9.0* Als ich die Aufnahme beendet habe wurden mir lediglich nur 2/3 Sätze transkribiert, obwohl die Aufnahme ca 40 Minuten ging, daher Probeabo gekündigt. ### 1/5 — Dommage *2025-12-07* Enregistre mais ne restitue pas les enregistrements ou les restitue plusieurs semaines après. Lamentable. Je voulais passer en version payante, je ne vais donc pas y passer. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — buenisimo *2026-06-01, version 14.1.1* Me encanta solo me gustaría para dales un 💯 q se pudiera recuperar lo eliminado y fondo blanco.

Highly Recommended. Good Job! ### 5/5 — La actualizaron *2025-09-22, version 13.2.1* Estoy cumpliendo mi primer año con ella y todo bien pero le pusieron una actualización y ya no es tan amable como antes… hay posibilidad de volver a la versión anterior? ### 5/5 — Para iadesi *2025-08-18, version 13.2.1* 1000 tl uygulama ücreti kesildi bilgi vermeden onaylamadan. Lütfen yardımcı olur musunuz. Ben böyle birşey istemiyorum lütfen --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
