Also on many phone calls, the speaker when it connects has very bad static. It’s the app because the normal phone works fine but if you’re going to do call recording beware. ### 3/5 — Good app with room for improvement *2026-05-14, version 3.8.0* 3 stars. The app does pretty much exactly what it promises — recording conversations and generating summaries — and overall it works well for that purpose. The summaries are useful, and I’ve found it helpful overall. That said, there’s definitely room for improvement. The biggest issue for me is the audio playback experience. There’s no good rewind or fast-forward functionality, no playback speed options, and overall the listening experience feels pretty basic. If you actually want to go back and review recordings later, those features would make a huge difference. It also occasionally gets names wrong in the summaries/transcripts, although that’s usually a smaller issue for me compared to the audio controls. Another frustrating issue is how sensitive it seems to internet connection changes. If your phone switches between Wi-Fi and cellular, or if the connection briefly drops, the recording can disconnect very easily. Then you have to reconnect, merge notes together, and sometimes you miss important parts of the conversation. So overall: good app, useful concept, and it does what it says — but the audio playback tools and connection stability really need improvement. ### 3/5 — Have to pay to upgrade *2026-05-12, version 3.8.0* Works well but can only record twice before you have to pay to upgrade ### 3/5 — Good but *2026-05-05* The App itself is pretty good and easy to handle but the price transparency is really really bad. I just see choose standard or professional with a price Tag w/o knowing what I subscribe per content. Due to this missing information I will cancel it after test period. ### 4/5 — Good app bad support *2026-04-29, version 3.7.9* Love your app but to be honest, your response to issues reported in chat is not good. I have posted multiple times in the last week or so and no one responds. ### 3/5 — Great App *2026-04-22, version 3.7.8* I love the app. However, after the latest update I no longer see the summaries just a blank white screen with the recording below. Can we get this fixed? ### 3/5 — Really loved this but the kinks persist *2026-03-12, version 3.6.6* I really loved this app. For years I’ve used it almost everyday. But it stopped being able to upload summaries with proper formatting to Day One and OneNote. Now, for OneNote, I have to email it to myself, cope and paste, and then re-bullet which is super cumbersome. It also recently started just not processing recordings. I use this to transcribe and summarize my night journal, so it’s really aggravating when I’m trying to capture my thoughts and it just doesn’t work. Will start looking at other options when subscription expires unless these issues are fixed. Which is a bummer because I have so much content here. ### 4/5 — Love But…. *2026-03-06, version 3.6.5* Im having challenges with the wave summaries generating as they take a very long time . Fix that and it will be even kore awesome! ### 3/5 — Good but with a couple of improvements *2026-02-20, version 3.5.7* As many reviewers have already stated, this is a very good app. However, there are two things that I believe can be improved upon. One is the playback system. It’s awful. You need a fast-forward and rewind buttons. Or just an overall better playback interface. The second is how long it takes to convert the recording into a summary. It could take a few minutes sometimes depending on how long the recording takes. I may be spoiled, but I expect this to be done within a minute. ### 3/5 — Okay, but glitchy *2026-01-20, version 3.5.1* As a daily user of this app I can say that I think it works well from a recording perspective, however its file management is terrible. If you have a lot of notes and recordings it starts to glitch and the search feature is flawed. I would love it if there was an online portal and better document management. Its hard to search for the files that are needed and then to make edits they open in browser. ### 5/5 — Best ever *2026-01-20, version 3.5.1* I used it all the time ### 4/5 — Great with an exception *2026-01-15, version 3.5.1* Everything is great except when I edit the summary of the recording (which is sometimes rigorous) it does not save when I click ‘done’. Very frustrating that it cannot be edited effectively. I have to use the unedited (incorrect version) notes summary. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-09-03, version 3.9.8* Can only record one audio Requires you to pay ### 1/5 — free trial will rob you *2026-08-03, version 3.9.4* 100 taken from my account after 3 days of free trial. So predatory and shameless ### 1/5 — 電話番号認証がならない *2026-05-31* 月額ではなく週額で課金、その後なんども電話番号を認証しても一向に電話もかかってこず、プラン設定（海外ナンバー）や自分の携帯設定を全て確認したが問題なし。 カスタマーサポートもどこにあるかわからず。 使えないなら返金してほしいです… ### 1/5 — Not working at all for phone calls. *2026-03-18, version 3.6.7* I recorded Loom videos shown to developer - phone calls recording does not work. For some reason it abruptly ends calls or don’t wanna call 99% of numbers in Poland. They have no idea why. ### 1/5 — not accessible to blind people using VoiceOver *2026-02-23, version 3.5.7* The app sounds great. Too bad they exclude VoiceOver users. The initial screens telling us what a great app it is are easily read, but when I went to create an account, I just got image Image Image. Choose an image and it wants me to log in using Apple. Choose another and it wants me to log in using Facebook. Are those the only options? only the sighted can tell, I guess. Thanks for nothing.Too bad I can't give it a 0 rating. ### 1/5 — Bad Service—do not recommend *2026-02-01, version 3.5.5* signed up for what was advertised as a $2.99 trial, but I was immediately charged $139.99 for a full year. I canceled within minutes and contacted support right away, yet they refused to issue a refund. The lack of transparency around pricing is extremely misleading. If you advertise a trial, customers should not be charged a full annual membership instantly. Because of this dishonest purchase process and refusal to correct the charge, I cannot recommend this app. Very disappointing experience. Feels like a scam. ### 1/5 — Did not work *2026-01-25, version 3.5.2* I bought this app for one specific phone call. When I received the phone call I hit “the big red button” as I was instructed to do, and it did not work!!! CANCELLED. ### 1/5 — Zero Speaker Diarization *2026-01-23, version 3.5.2* Used it for a year and agree it made life easier. But it’s a very low bar for getting a single name correct, or even identifying repetitive voice. Mention a name and suddenly they are a speaker. It’s become worthless compared to newer products. ### 1/5 — Confusing *2026-01-13, version 3.5.0* Initial set up is too confusing. It is hard to figure out what it is that you’re supposed to be doing. Also have not figured out how to get the information from the notetaker to a different app such as OneNote or teams. ### 1/5 — Canceled, but still trying to charge my card *2025-10-25, version 3.3.0* I canceled my Wave AI Note Taker & Summary subscription, yet the app keeps attempting to charge my card. Because of these repeated charge attempts, I can’t download any other apps from the App Store—even free ones—until the billing issue clears. Please stop the billing attempts and confirm my subscription is fully canceled. This has been very disruptive. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2026-08-17, version 3.9.6* I’ve just started using the Wave AI note taker app but so far it is absolutely great. Very easy to set up and very easy to use. Definitely a time saver and a great productivity tool. ### 5/5 — Makes Things Easier *2026-08-11, version 3.9.5* I have been manually taking meeting notes and transcripts for the past 6 months and oftentimes the conversations go faster than I can type. Today, I started using this app in conjunction with that to help fill in the gaps, but it’s done such a good job on the transcript I might not have to! Very, very helpful for my job. Definitely recommend! The cost is worth saving myself a headache from writing a transcript on a 3 hour meeting. ### 5/5 — Ótimo anotador! *2026-07-14* Ótimo para registrar qualquer reunião, conversas e notas gerais. Os resumos são confiáveis. Fácil de integrar e utilizar no Apple Watch, Ip e desktop. ### 5/5 — Nandhan and Nilai Saviors *2026-06-25, version 3.8.8* If there is God, he has created Wave to save my kids Nandhan Gummi and Nilai Gummi from Criminal Naresh Adiraju, Bindupriya Adiraju ### 5/5 — Obsoletely Amazing *2026-06-09, version 3.8.5* I’ve never really written an app review but this app and service change that. I got onboard with Wave AI very early and I’ve been totally happy. They also respond to every query in a timely manner. If you’re on the fence, just get it. Solid 4.9 stars out of 5. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-24, version 3.7.9* Easy to use! Great functionality. Things I’d like: ability to bulk export and an update to the Mac App (the downloadable version is so much better). All that said, LOVE IT! ### 5/5 — Brilliant! *2026-04-11, version 3.7.1* Honestly… just brilliant! Thank you so much ### 5/5 — Family member in the hospital *2026-03-24, version 3.7.0* Oh my God I love this app. It helps me understand the medical term with the doctor and nurses are saying and I can explain it to my family because I recorded it. This is the best app ever. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-03-10, version 3.6.6* It makes very well detailed notes, and you can just leave it there during lectures to help, Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Ceo *2026-02-03* Les résumé sont top juste une intégration automatique des réunions serait super (teams , zoom…) sans enregistrer l’URL avant --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
