Works as promised. The developer is very responsive. and integrations are great. ### 5/5 — Great transcription *2026-06-14, version 1.8.9* No issues and very accurate ### 5/5 — Quick Accurate *2026-06-04, version 1.8.7* I have been doing voice dictation for over 20 years, beginning with Dragon for Windows and meditation of this. Dictation is faster and easier to use than anything I’ve used before. ### 5/5 — One dictation app that actually works *2026-06-04* I wanted to record this review using Whisper itself because it’s one of the few dictation apps that actually works. Most dictation apps have weird quirks, don’t get updated, or fail in small but frustrating ways. This app is worth the money because the developer keeps putting real effort into it. The changes are not always huge, but the app keeps moving forward with new models, new features, and steady improvements. Most importantly, it works reliably. When everything else fails, this works. That’s amazing, and I highly recommend it. It’s worth the investment. I do have one feature request: I’d love to see light LLM processing beyond summaries. For example, cleanup grammar, remove repetitions, lightly rewrite while keeping the original style, or format the output as meeting notes, a text message, or a polished paragraph. Right now, I have to copy the text to the clipboard, paste it into ChatGPT, process it there, and then bring it back. That feels unnecessary. These common LLM cleanup and formatting features would make a lot of sense as part of this application. **Developer response:** Thank you! I am working on the app full time, and I'm so glad it shows. So you could set up a custom summary to do any kinds of processing.. Feel free to email me through Settings → Contact support and I can help. Thanks again! ### 5/5 — Great app and quality transcripts *2026-06-02, version 1.8.7* This is an amazing new app for me to note down my thoughts from my watch. The quality of the transcription is amazing. It send an email with a nice subject header title. This is want to use for transcribing your notes on the go on your Apple Watch. ### 5/5 — Optimal und mittlerweile unverzichtbar *2026-06-02* Funktioniert auch hervorragend in deutscher Sprache. Ich kann es nur empfehlen! **Developer response:** Great to hear, thank you! ### 5/5 — The best *2026-05-20* Love this app for my watch. I'm a stay at home working mom. Being able to tap record my quick thought or thing I need to remember so that I can review at the end of night to add things to grocery list or checklist is amazing! I've need something like this for years since I can't carry a Pena ND paper with me everywhere. Dirty hands cooking no biggie I tap the scrron on my watch with my nose and save my memo! Love this app! **Developer response:** That is so great to hear, thank you! ### 5/5 — Optimal und mittlerweile unverzichtbar *2026-05-20* Funktioniert auch hervorragend in deutscher Sprache. Ich kann es nur empfehlen! ### 5/5 — Impressive *2026-04-28* Really impressive voice notes app. This is very actively developed with new, thoughtful, features added frequently. It doesn’t bolt on unnecessary AI “second brain” type features - instead it focuses on easy, quick capture and output. The main feature here is the ability to quickly generate summaries. These outputs can (optionally) be emailed automatically, making this a fantastic quick capture tool. ### 5/5 — Wird immer besser! Ich nutze Whisper jeden Tag! *2026-04-26* Kaufenswert **Developer response:** You are the best! ### 5/5 — Great fidelity for dictation *2026-04-15, version 1.7.13* Super app. Very good value. Use primarily on phone, but REALLY appreciate the support for Apple Vision Pro functionality ### 5/5 — Game changer *2026-04-12, version 1.7.13* I’ve used several different voice memo transcription apps in the best and this is the most simple and just does what I need it to do. I use it daily. The automatic email function is perfect and throws it into Drafts for further processing. ### 5/5 — Все отлично, добавьте возможность редактировать *2026-04-10* Пожалуйста, добавьте возможность редактировать заголовки Memos, ai не всегда генерирует заголовки, подходящие по смыслу для меня. По этим заголовкам сложно находить нужное саммари. Спасибо! Кстати, кнопки обратной связи у вас не работают. **Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback - and I agree, that feature would make a lot of sense. ### 3/5 — Capabilities *2026-04-07* Would like to come to the conversation and add to it **Developer response:** I'm sorry that this is not possible! Lots of users are actually asking for this feature, so we are strongly considering it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 再試行となって文字起こしが進まない *2026-08-01* iPhoneのボイスメモから音声データを読み込ませていますが、約8割の確率で文字起こしが途中で止まり、「エラー＝再試行」という表示が出て失敗してしまいます。 iPhone純正の文字起こし機能や「Notta」などの他サービスでは問題なく処理できているデータです。設定や音声フォーマットの変更なども試みましたが、状況は全く改善されません。 ### 1/5 — Crashes and loses voice memos constantly *2026-05-27* Crashes and loses voice memos constantly. I pay for this $15/mo. Seriously, you WILL lose a precious memory. It crashes in the middle of recording. It crashes at lock screen. Devs, shame on you. Shame on you. You are truly greedy shameful people to not use your own app, to not even test it rigorously. Shame. Respond to me, if you are not cowards. **Developer response:** Hi, let's figure this out - email us at hello@whispermemos.com Any chance you meant to leave this review for some other app? This one doesn't cost $15/mo like you wrote, and we had close to none reports of crashes among thousands of users. Any way, we're happy to figure out what happened there. I'm a bit sad you didn't email us in the first place, we respond to all emails within a few days. ### 1/5 — メモが見えん *2026-05-25* 録音したメモを見ようとしても出てこないし見れないし、前に取ってたメモも勝手に消えた **Developer response:** Hi, I'm very sorry to hear that, but most likely you're just logging in through a different account. Can you email me at hello@whispermemos.com or by going to Settings → Contact support? We'll figure it out. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy. It is garbage *2026-05-18* This app is completely useless. You need to pay at least a few bucks a month for something you typically use only a few times a day, yet it is super slow. It is so slow, it is unbearable. You can imagine the computation is very low for the inference, but it is terribly slow. This should be worth less than $1 a month at most, but they dare to charge $4 a month even with a discount. It is worth nothing. Besides, you lose your purchase status from time to time. In the past few months, my purchase has disappeared a few times, and I have to restore it every time. **Developer response:** Hi, there must've been some kind of networking issues... Or maybe you selected the slower ElevenLabs model. But by default, it transcribes minutes of recording within seconds. Would you be willing to help us figure out what went wrong in your case? All I need is a screenshot of the memo that was slow - just email it to hello@whispermemos.com. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Hacked and a scam *2026-04-01, version 1.7.13* I’ve received unsolicited emails from Whispers Memos and they were in appropriate in content. ### 1/5 — Major security issues *2026-03-15, version 1.7.8* The app itself works okay, not bad, not great. Red flags popped up when 1) I started receiving the audio recaps in Chinese and Polish, and 2) I started receiving email transcripts of other people’s recordings. If this is happening, who is getting my recordings? The app has a “contact us” button which oddly doesn’t work, maybe this review will get their attention. Canceled my subscription. ### 1/5 — Перестал работать на IPAD *2026-01-21* После обновления iPad до 26.2 перестал работать на платной версии. ### 1/5 — STOPS RECORDING FOR NO REASON *2026-01-15, version 1.6.4* This app would be fine if it didn’t stop recording for no reason. I literally hit record and sat my phone down. I did not touch it at all during a 2 hour meeting. I picked it back up and it only recorded 14 minutes. This has happened multiple times now. HORRIBLE. ### 1/5 — Ads *2025-11-29* Sends ads in notifications ### 1/5 — Customer support is non-existent *2025-11-22, version 1.6.1* I loved this app when it worked. Suddenly it did not and I received no response to 3 emails to customer support. I’m locked in paying for this until next June and requests for a fix or a refund have been ignored. Really disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sinnvoll seit einem Jahr *2026-08-25* Ich verwende Whisper Memos seit fast einem Jahr. Es zeichnet zuverlässig meine Ideen auf, speichert sie und leitet sie an meine favorisierte App weiter. Sehr empfehlenswert! ### 5/5 — It does one thing and does it incredibly well *2026-08-25* What a delight to come across an application that does one thing and does it tremendously well. Really well thought through app that records and transcribes up to 90 minutes, super efficiently and also allows you to do so from your Apple Watch You can now also create summaries from your transcription/recording. Very, very nice. **Developer response:** That's amazing to hear, thank you! ### 5/5 — Does what it is supposed to do! *2026-08-19* I don’t have a lot of detail to add to this review — suffice it to say that the application carries out pretty accurate transcriptions overall and I haven’t had any catastrophes, not even any small items either. There are probably alternate ways to do the same thing, but for example, I am finding that native iOS speech-to-text into a straight Note for example, is pretty disastrous actually - the accuracy used to be OK but now it seems to have gone downhill and is quite useless on many occasions using just normal English - so using an alternate language model and app like this one is probably smart and that’s where this application comes in. Very happy overall. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-09, version 1.8.17* Love it on the watch ### 5/5 — Excellent *2026-07-08, version 1.8.15* Does what it's supposed to & more. Continually updating with more features. ### 5/5 — Once you find it, it’s the only one. *2026-07-02, version 1.8.14* This rock solid voice memo transcription app is so far beyond all other apps like it that it might end your search instantly. It’s easy to use, extensible, affordable, and has a thoughtful interface. I’ve been disappointed by handfuls of other apps that are 2x+ the cost of Whisper Memos but also have 15 minute recording limits, have no integration capacity, or just stink at transcription. Whisper Memos excels at its purpose in spades. ### 5/5 — Muito bom! *2026-06-30* Muito bom ### 5/5 — Life Changer *2026-06-28, version 1.8.12* I love the Whisper Memos app. It has increased my productivity and my ability to track conversations and extract key elements of the meetings by coupling it with ChatGPT. I love how it automatically sends me my transcript when I stop recording. I simply cut and paste it into ChatGPT, and it gives me a summary of my call and captures any of my assigned tasks. There may be simpler solutions. But this is the most cost-effective and easiest. ### 5/5 — So easy to use!!! *2026-06-28* This has a button on my Apple Watch. I don’t care what I’m doing, I can hit that button and know that I’ll have up to 90 minutes of voice notes transcribed in my email inbox when I’m done. Lately I’ve been doing home remodeling and it’s so handy to just describe what I’m measuring and the final measurement, have my watch microphone pick it up, and then extract the values from my email. ### 5/5 — Nice App *2026-06-16, version 1.8.10* Simple and actually works with iPhone and Apple Watch --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
