### 3/5 — Может быть и хорошее, но все платно

*2026-10-13*

Могли бы хотя бы минимально сделать бесплатно

### 3/5 — not thrilled

*2026-02-26, version 5.83*

Gave it plenty of time,  and unfortunately too late to cancel the yearly charge. 
It’s not terribly responsive. It’s not even as responsive as the built-in mic in the iPhone.   Substitutes wrong words, regardless of proximity to the phone. I’m sure there are better ones out there.

### 4/5 — I will let you know soon

*2026-02-09, version 5.82*

I will let you know soon

### 4/5 — Incredible App

*2026-02-06, version 5.82*

Accurate, fast, flexible. Fantastic

### 2/5 — Used to be Better

*2026-01-10, version 5.74*

I have been using Dictate for a couple years.  Each update makes it worse and worse.  It now stops recording in the middle of talking and in order to keep recording you have to shut the app down and reopen it.  If you have to correct an error (which doesn’t bother me it makes errors) it will mess up your formatting and when you start talking again, you it puts an uppercase letter wether needed or not.  I have attempted to submit written concerns to the contact support button, but the email will never send.  I am sadly disappointed and will be considering a different app.  I need an app that will actually work as I use the dictation app almost every single day in my work.

### 3/5 — could be better

*2025-12-12, version 5.74*

The app frequently doesn’t understand what’s being said and so puts wrong words into the text. Also there should be a way to copy a section of the text without it only offering  “copy all” as the only  option.

### 3/5 — Speech accuracy

*2025-12-11, version 5.74*

The speech recognition of this technology or this app is fair to poor. I probably will not renew it when my year is up.

### 2/5 — Werkt niet goed

*2025-11-19, version 5.74*

Voordien werkte dit goed om spraak om te zetten naar tekst maar nu worden hier en daar maar enkele woorden omgezet in tekst. Dus niet bruikbaar.

### 4/5 — Списания продолжаются после отмены подписки

*2025-10-20*

Подписка отменена 7 дней назад. В айфон она в отмененных, а списания продолжаются. Только звуковые файлы транскрибирует

Видео никак

### 3/5 — First try

*2025-10-16, version 5.72*

Not impressed yet. Perhaps it takes time to get used to voices. Missing a lot of words.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-10-31, version 6.38*

Just tell users up front if it’s free or not instead of us going through all the settings and in the end asking us to pay.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-09-25, version 6.28*

The mic in the app cuts off frequently. The dictation is seldom correct, and I spend a great deal of time correcting the erroneous words.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2026-09-25, version 6.28*

Just doesn’t work.  Even with a presenter on a microphone, it can’t “hear” correctly.

### 1/5 — Stop asking me to give a review every time I try to dictate

*2026-05-13, version 5.94*

The product is ok at best, but I am still trying to learn it. Maybe if it didn’t ask me to review it every 10 seconds, I could work in the app long enough to give a positive review.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy if you use G mail

*2026-02-24, version 5.83*

I go into the directions online and discover that it doesn’t function with Gmail. It suggest using some Apple app. Don’t waste your time with this app.

### 1/5 — Dictation

*2026-01-27, version 5.80*

Not picking uo my dictation correctly

### 1/5 — Beware Porn ads

*2026-01-19, version 5.74*

My children used this app in our homeschool for the last 2 years until it displayed pornographic ads to them. Deleted immediately and 1 star.

### 1/5 — Misses words

*2025-12-11, version 5.74*

Not good. Misses words completely then jumbles them up.

### 1/5 — Imprecise

*2025-12-08, version 5.74*

It misses one out of 5 words. Even in English! 

Even an email, a simple email does better than that!

### 1/5 — 👎👎👎

*2025-11-20, version 5.74*

Daha indirir indirmez para istiyor güvenilir değil önce bi neye para verdiğimi görmek isterim

### 5/5 — Truly Revolutionary Dictation App

*2026-09-02, version 6.24*

This product is amazing. I use it constantly as a quick-capture tool—while walking around, sitting at my desk, and even in the car. I can make the text large enough to see at a glance, and its ability to accurately pick up my words even in loud environments is remarkable.

The dictation itself is excellent, but what really makes this app indispensable for me is how easily I can capture a thought and then send that text wherever it needs to go. Even better, it syncs between my iPhone and my Apple computer, so something I capture while I'm away from my desk is waiting for me when I get back.

It has genuinely replaced pieces of paper, sticky notes, and scratch pads for me. Instead of trying to remember something or stopping to write it down, I just dictate it.

There are additional features such as translation and built-in AI that I haven't really explored yet. For me, the pure dictation, quick capture, syncing, and ability to export the text are enough to make this one of those rare apps that has fundamentally changed how I work.

I would have a very hard time going without it. Absolutely outstanding app.

### 5/5 — One Of The Kind

*2026-07-28, version 6.20*

I've been looking for this kind of app for years, that's easy to use. - Thank You

### 5/5 — No titles, retired from active work.

*2026-06-28, version 5.97*

This is an excellent app for any dictation, from a small note to a book writing. It cooperates in numerous ways. Accidentally deleting is no problem!



🙏👌

### 5/5 — Get

*2026-06-23, version 5.97*

Great app!

### 5/5 — Excellent app! I love it!

*2026-05-19, version 5.96*

After 2 years it gets better and better. As an author this is a great tool for notes and easy transfer to emails and text messages! Translations too! Get it now! You are missing out! I’m a PhD and use this everyday for notes, texts, and emails.

### 5/5 — It Works!

*2026-02-07, version 5.82*

I love using this app in the early morning hours to rough draft stories for my book. It is easy to upload the draft and move into editing. It captures the flow of the voice and does well with periods and commas. I’m happy with it.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-01-11, version 5.74*

Good

### 5/5 — Great!

*2025-11-27, version 5.74*

Works like it’s supposed to. Great export options. Quick, fast, and pretty accurate. I use it to transcribe audio files to make my outlines and take notes. What a time saver. Thank you Christian!

### 5/5 — Kinda Therapeutic

*2025-10-29, version 5.72*

This is app
Picks up language good and is very helpful. Way better than Siri. 
I got it when I broke my arm and couldn’t journal.  
I still
Use to help process thoughts cause sometimes you just need to say a bunch shizzle and get it out and email it to yourself.

### 5/5 — Great app couple requests

*2025-10-28, version 5.72*

This app is great. Multi-tool that actually does everything well. 

I have two requests PLEASE: 

1. Make an option for dictating on Apple Watch to be stealth instead of the bouncy red thing.  

2. Option to paste date/time when new recording starts. 

That’s it. Thank you!
