### 2/5 — Doesn’t work for French

*2026-08-23, version 2.1.5*

Great idea but unfortunately it didn’t work at all in French. Despite selecting “French” in Settings, the transcript was very far from what I said with both a mix of hallucinations and misunderstandings. I provided the same recordings to GPT and other platforms and they did much better! Lastly, there were also a few UI/UX bugs like buttons sometimes requiring multiple taps to actually do something.

### 3/5 — Declined AutoRenew this Month; App Replaced

*2026-06-16, version 2.0.9*

Replaced with SpeakWise, which optionally (no extra $) auto sends voice & transcribed notes, plus generated action lists, to Notion (free-tier account). No relation beyond thrilled customer. When I take the time to make a note, I expect to refer to it later. Over a full year, this app proved consistently unreliable. Found SpeakWise via Qwant search engine; Google never mentioned it. Saving $$, enjoying voice input via AirPods Pro 3; & “it just works!” unlike VoiceNotes.

### 2/5 — to bad

*2026-06-05*

It is impossible to export all the voice notes, you need to dot one by one...

### 2/5 — Unreliable

*2026-04-26, version 2.0.8*

I found voice notes recording and transcribing really helpful - when it works.  

I have had previous issues with the liability of this app which seemed to have been addressed.

I now note there was an update which has taken me almost back to square one; the last three voice notes transcriptions/recordings did not save. 

The first one I thought was down to my error turns out it wasn't! Meetings two and three on Thursday and Friday went through the transcript process, but didn't produce a transcript and more than that. The recording disappeared!

Once again this app proves itself to be too unreliable not to have a backup and for me that backup is Otter.ai which is infinitely more reliable.

And not having any backup to any recording, other than using another Notes app is ridiculous!   Once again, contactable tech support  - none existent.

### 2/5 — Wrong Wrong Wrong

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.8*

Called my wife a HUSBAND instead of MY WIFE OR PARTNER OR FRIEND….

This has gender all wrong

### 2/5 — Poor customer Service contact

*2026-03-23*

I’ve been on a mission for two weeks to cancel my subscription and have found it nearly impossible. I’ve gone through the app, which says your subscription is through the website, and you must go to the website. When I go there, the buttons don’t do anything; you see a circle within the button, and then nothing. I’ve been stuck paying for a subscription I no longer want. I found three different support emails for this company, and as of this date, no one has replied. It’s obscene that I now have to go through my bank to stop payment.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this, that definitely shouldn’t be happening. If you subscribed via the web, you can cancel by logging into the Voicenotes web app, going to Settings → Your plan, and managing your subscription through the Stripe billing page. If those buttons aren’t working, please reach out to team@voicenotes.com and we’ll prioritise getting this resolved for you.

### 3/5 — Errors with upload

*2026-03-19, version 2.0.5*

For the past few days, recordings haven't been uploading, and the app is starting to feel unreliable.

### 1/5 — Unreliable and hard to use

*2026-03-13*

I really wanted to like this app, but it ended up being frustrating and unreliable.

First, organizing notes is a mess. There’s no clear or effective way to categorize recordings, separate meetings, or keep projects distinct. If you record frequently, everything quickly turns into an unmanageable pile.

The meeting summary and output features sound great in theory, but they don’t consistently work. I’ve had recordings sit there indefinitely without generating a summary. In one case, I had to wait until the next day and try again — and because of that delay, I ended up paying for an extra week of the subscription just to access notes that should have been available earlier.

Exporting is another major pain point. There’s no bulk export option, so you have to download files one by one. On top of that, the file formats are inconsistent — some export as MP3, others as M4A — which creates extra work if you need them in a uniform format.

Transcription is also unreliable. The app claims to auto-generate transcripts, but sometimes timestamps are included and sometimes they aren’t. For meeting notes and professional use, timestamps are pretty standard and often necessary, so this inconsistency makes the transcripts less useful.

Overall, the app has promising ideas but poor execution. Between the organizational issues, unreliable summaries, inconsistent exports, and unpredictable transcripts, it just wasn’t worth the subscription. I canceled.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. Voicenotes does include ways to organize notes using tags, which can help group meetings, projects, or topics so recordings don’t become a single stream. Reliability and processing speed have also been a major focus for us and we’ve shipped several updates improving summaries, exports, and overall stability. We appreciate the thoughtful suggestions and will share them with the team.

### 3/5 — Sermon

*2026-03-13, version 2.0.4*

Lawal

### 1/5 — Disingenuous Pricing

*2026-03-12, version 2.0.4*

It still shows a "Believer" Lifetime license option here, but when you download and go to the app it does not exist and you are forced to subscribe. I've reported this to Apple and to the Developer a long while ago, and this practice still goes unchanged. I was given a nonsensical reply by the developers stating that this was a "tidy up" mistake by Apple. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. It's been weeks and weeks since reported and it keeps on selling one thing here in the App Store, and another on their website. Uninstalled. Too sketchy. *** [UPDATE] *** PS: Responding MONTHS AFTER I made a complaint about the lifetime license being available for purchase here - just to appear as if you did the right thing - just makes me want to bring my business over even less. I’ll double down: WAY too dissimulated. Good luck.

### 1/5 — On my first Apple Watch it failed right away

*2026-03-11, version 2.0.4*

I just installed it and tried it then it failed the very first time I tried to record from my watch. This is hard to buy if it can’t work. Sad because it seems perfect for me with all the other features

### 1/5 — Lost audio

*2026-03-10*

This app lost 2 of my recordings. I wrote to the support team, but it’s been some time and ai still didn’t hear back from them.
Very sad, not trustworthy, unfortunately.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear that. Losing recordings is understandably frustrating.

If you haven’t heard back yet, please follow up at team@voicenotes.com with the email address linked to your account and the approximate time the recordings were made so the team can investigate.

Thanks for your patience while this gets looked into.

### 1/5 — I watch not supported anymore

*2026-03-06, version 2.0.4*

I have a yearly subscription and I loved it because I can use my phone AND watch but recently it’s off my watch and your update to your app has all of a sudden made it unavailable on my watch…if that’s the case can I get a refund for the portion I did not use or please reach out and let me know solution

### 3/5 — Started great….then…

*2026-03-05, version 2.0.4*

When I first purchased this app, I really enjoyed how it took great notes and provided different types of summaries. Then recently with a update, the app became slow and failed to upload meeting notes. Hope it gets better or I would prefer a refund.

### 1/5 — Impossible to stop charges.

*2026-03-03, version 2.0.4*

The app works fine, but I’ve been trying to cancel paid subscription for a few weeks. Contacted support several times. No success. They keep charging me weekly. Terrible service.

### 1/5 — Didn’t even record

*2026-02-26, version 2.0.3*

Tried the app. Didn’t even record the meeting. Used free version, you’ll need to pay to use it. Not worth it without know ing if it works or not.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Regulatory Compliance

*2026-07-05*

This review was initially left on July 3, 2026, by July 5 2026, I already emailed the team directly and did not received any response yet:


I tried this app for a single day, and it auto-renewed for $137.75 CAD
without ANY advance notification from the app or Apple. Other compliant apps (like Fantuan) always warn users before a trial ends. I canceled immediately and haven't used it since. As a resident of BC, Canada, this sneaky billing directly violates the BC Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act (BPCPA). Frontline support refused my refund. Developer team, review Order ID: MQ9BQFBMYW and
process my refund immediately

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear that. Can you please email us at team@voicenotes.com with the details of the issue so our dev team can look into this?

### 1/5 — Worst customer service

*2026-06-11, version 2.0.9*

This company is horrible. They rarely respond to customer complaints and when they do is ignorant nonsense. Try DictaWiz or Ideashell instead. Better apps and better companies.

### 1/5 — Deceptive subscriptions

*2026-06-04*

After an unhelpful three day subscription and without any further notification (knowing very well people forget and making the most of it) Today, I’m lumped with a $125 charge for an app that has a poor transcription quality particularly with multiple voices in a meeting. There is no quality AI that can discern between voices and therefore present you a usable voice to text result..
Uploading from a existing Apple voice memo recording is tedious and ineffective.
Fingers crossed for an apple refund. I’m deleting the app.
If Apple chooses not to refund me, you should be refunding me.

**Developer response:** We wanted to clarify that subscriptions and trial notifications are handled directly by Apple through the App Store. We don’t have control over App Store billing or refund decisions, so if the subscription was purchased there, the refund request needs to be handled by Apple. 

That said, Voicenotes offers a generous free plan so you can explore it well before committing to a paid subscription. On transcription quality, we use the world's best models and don't cut corners. However, results can vary depending on audio quality, background noise, and how clearly speakers are recorded - not app-level limitation, it's model-level limitations. If you’d like us to look into a specific transcription issue, please contact us at team@voicenotes.com.

### 1/5 — Lost too many meeting notes

*2026-05-27, version 2.0.9*

I have recorded a meeting so many times and the app never captured a word presumably because of glitch. It’s not worth the risk. Don’t use it.

### 1/5 — Fails meetings over 1hour

*2026-04-25, version 2.0.8*

Unable to record and transcribe meetings over 1hour.

Unreliable, doesn’t save recordings

### 1/5 — Daily usage limit not enough for what I need.

*2026-04-08, version 2.0.7*

The daily usage limits for iOS does not allow for eight one hour sessions per day.

### 1/5 — Stop working few days after paying my yearly subscription.

*2026-04-07*

Doesn’t summarize anything… doesn’t record anything. No support… not impressed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this, that definitely shouldn’t be happening. If recording and summaries aren’t working on the latest version, please reach out to team@voicenotes.com with a few details about your device and what you’re seeing and we’ll help get this sorted quickly.

### 1/5 — Fundamental Reliability Problems

*2026-03-29*

At the most fundamental level, a voice notes app needs to record and trust, once lost, is hard to gain back.

In just two weeks of testing Voicenotes, I've lost approximately three hours of very important recordings.

First incident (March 11, iPhone): I was recording a note that reached 54 minutes when I paused it. I checked back twice over the next 25 minutes and the paused recording was still there both times. When I went to resume it the third time (roughly 30mins after pausing), it had vanished completely. The company acknowledged this as an "edge case."

Second incident (March 25, Mac laptop): I recorded a critical 2-hour meeting on my Mac laptop. The laptop remained on and active throughout. When the meeting ended, I pressed stop and clicked the arrow key in the Mac app (that takes you the dashboard/site). The recording disappeared and I couldn't find it anywhere.

Apple Watch reliability issues: Recording on the Apple Watch never worked consistently. Recordings would stop abruptly and disappear into the ether. I didn't even report this because I gave up on that feature rather quickly.

If one user can encounter two "edge cases" in about two weeks, this app is not for me. I can't trust an app that loses important content, especially when those conversations can't be recreated. Three hours of critical recordings is too much to lose.

To potential users: If you're recording important content you can't afford to lose, I'd recommend testing thoroughly with non-critical recordings first, or considering more established alternatives.

To the developer: The core functionality needs to be rock solid before adding features. Focus on ensuring recordings are reliably saved across all platforms.

I'll be looking for other options.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to share this in detail. Recording reliability has been a major focus for us and we’ve shipped several updates improving how recordings are saved and handled across devices. Losing recordings should not happen, and we understand how frustrating that is. If you’re open to trying the latest version again, reliability is significantly improved now.

### 1/5 — Double charged

*2026-03-25*

I subscribed back in Feb and have been getting 2 charges every fortnight for the last month! I have now cancelled! Last I checked monthly charge was 1 charge once every 4 weeks?

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing this, that shouldn’t be happening. If you’re seeing multiple charges, please reach out to team@voicenotes.com with a bit more detail and we’ll take a closer look and get it sorted for you.

### 1/5 — Other apps are FAR superior

*2026-03-14, version 2.0.5*

I’ve used this app several times all it does is record - it just spins as if I’m supposed to get something more. I’ve used Ottr and found it FAR superior. And this was recommend by a trusted course. Very disappointed.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2026-08-17*

Love this app

### 5/5 — New function requirements

*2026-07-29*

Wish these functions could be added: - customizing index page display such as being able to choose which notes (with certain tags or certain period of times) are displayed at front page. - Sorting function for notes. For me personally, I want to be able to review todos and ideas at the right top with one glance, so it can remind me better; I don't need to see meeting notes and lecture notes in the front page, because these types of notes are more for "backups". - Quick search suggestions at search bar, such as past weeks' notes, recent search history, frequent reviewed tags, etc. that just need to click once to search.

### 5/5 — Best off it’s kind

*2026-03-20, version 2.0.5*

Earlier review.  See the last paragraph. 

 For months this had been my go-to app for notes, meeting, etc.  Finally, though, I grew irritated at having to remove my iPad from the keyboard to read or make entries.  To use an iPad one must use it in portrait mode with a finger or pencil.  It is best used for those who prefer to use it with an iPhone. I kept hoping for an update but am giving up.

03/19/26 A new version of this app has been released.  I opened it today to find that I can now use it with my keyboard much more efficiently in portrait mode.  Now, in my view, it is the best app of its kind.  I’m update my rating stars to five.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-02-27, version 2.0.3*

Highly recommended

### 5/5 — Meeting LD

*2026-02-25, version 2.0.2*

Ms out of meeting

### 5/5 — Not able to handle long meetings

*2026-02-21, version 1.5.46*

App crashes and can’t handle long meeting more than 10-15 mins 
My recordings are lost when it crashes with long meeting

### 5/5 — Best voice recognition

*2026-02-05*

Best voice recognition I have seen till date… not only English but for Hindi too..

**Developer response:** Hi amitsumitgarg, thanks for the 5★ review! 😊

Great to hear the voice recognition is working well for both English and Hindi. Really appreciate you sharing that.

### 5/5 — Reading
