I am sure it it good, but I am not ready to pay to try. ### 1/5 — File Import Error *2026-02-25* I purchased the premium service for this app and, like many other paying users, I consistently receive a file import error. This appears to be a known and widespread issue, yet there’s no clear fix, documentation, or response from the developer. Can you please explain why this error is happening and whether a fix is being worked on? if the feature is currently broken, I’d appreciate guidance on how to resolve it. Otherwise, I’d like to request a refund since the core functionality I paid for does not work. ### 2/5 — Not what I expected *2026-02-03* I was expecting to be able to use hot keys so that it’s works in other applications, when I downloaded the software, it immediately asked me to subscribe before I had a chance to preview it, so it was only after I had purchase subscription that I discovered tha, and also took quite a few seconds to transcribe the very short dictation that I gave it. ### 1/5 — Lost everything *2026-01-24, version 1.8* Crashed while recording, didn’t realize it, lost everything. ### 1/5 — Oops *2026-01-18* Downloaded & paid thinking it was whispr ### 2/5 — Not good at Persian *2025-10-12* Tried it for Farsi/Persian and I was very disappointed ### 1/5 — Don’t count on this software *2025-10-07, version 1.8* Relied on this for important meeting minutes. Software lost the entire transcript before I could import. The email provided for support is invalid. Can’t use anymore due to unreliability. ORDER ID ML7W9J5K4M ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE, IT WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR WORK *2025-10-02, version 2.3.5* Twice I’ve been burned by this awful app. Once, after recording, I tapped the end recording button then record button again by mistake - this totally wiped out 25 minutes of dictation Then, I spent 45 minutes as the phone went in and out of background mode (in the car), and it generated about 500 words. What a compete and utter joke and disappointment — DONT USE THIS! ### 1/5 — Paid for it, now it’s not working, ugh *2025-09-14, version 1.8* This is not great. I used it twice and now that I’ve paid $89 it won’t work. No changes in setup. Same file size. I keep getting the same error and there’s no help, none. This is the error, which, might have been my net barrier but that was on with my two last tries. Now what? I turned off the Netbarrier and I get the same error. AsyncHTTPClient.HTTPClientError error 1. This is a builtin apple app, and worked before. Very frustrating. ### 3/5 — buggy app *2025-08-19* the UI and UX is quite buggy: - not able to delete a record despite the “delete” button. - tried to send feedbacks via the internal menu yet it is saying “not able to send email from the device” on both ipad and iphone. - it does not support sync via icloud across devices. ### 1/5 — App Crashes! *2025-08-07, version 2.3.5* I downloaded and paid for the app but was unable to use it! It kept crashing! Waste of money! Wish I could get my money back! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nightmare *2026-06-23* Make sure that you want to purchase it by making payment. else if you used it and uploadd any files in it, you are stuck, it doesn't let you remove files and exit without any strings. ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2026-04-23, version 1.8* I just paid $90 for an app that doesn't work ### 1/5 — Double charged *2026-04-22* Watch out, you can't log in from another computer (or change the email to the correct one) And they will double charge you for the privilge. Worked great on my old laptop though. ### 1/5 — Worst customer service *2026-03-30, version 2.3.6* I got charged $189 for this app and in their description it says it’s $99 dollars for their premium service this app is a rip off. Tried to get a refund and was denied. Total scam!!!! ### 1/5 — The software does not work and there is no support *2026-03-25* I installed the software and bought a full year subscription. However, when I want to process mp4, m4a files for transcript, there is always an error message, and there is no support number or email address to help me ### 1/5 — Only one file *2026-03-19, version 2.3.6* Bought lifetime membership and can only record one file ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work (don’t buy it) *2026-03-02* Купил подписку, сразу перестала работать транскрибация, переустановка не помогла. Не советую это приложение ### 1/5 — Can’t upload file anymore *2026-02-28, version 2.3.6* Getting repeated Soto core response errors and the app doesn’t allow any help or faq. Frustrating. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t transcribe voice memos on iOS *2026-02-28* I purchased the app for one reason only, to transcribe my voice memos that were in different languages so I could later use them for various purposes. All I got were errors. No success at all. Boooooo! ### 1/5 — What happened *2026-02-27, version 2.3.5* Is this app even real? It no longer works. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app for voice to text generation *2026-05-27* This is really good. I tried it in my regular discussions.

Am I missing something? ### 5/5 — Surprisingly accurate quality *2025-12-24* It is amazing as far as I couldn’t record the file sufficiently loud. I can use this even though I should pay for it but not expensive! ### 5/5 — Finally a good STT app! *2025-11-27, version 1.8* Very responsive and smooth operation! ### 5/5 — Does a terrific job *2025-07-08* I've only been using it a short time, but it's extremely helpful and does a terrific job of transcribing. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-05-30* Muito versátil, app compatível com Mac e iPhone. Excelente. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
