Bad on iPhone

Using Willow via the action key or the special keyboard on iPhone is super complicated and does not work in at least 50% of the cases. Very frustrating.

Amazing experience on Mac, very bad on iOS. Really hope they're going to have an Android version ready soon, because there the possibilities are bigger to use it in a better way.

Awful app

Awful app. They lied about their free frontier mini plan. They lie lie lie. Never trust a word from this company. Horrible!

Misleading

Company claims unlimited dictation but there’s actually a weekly word limit. They aren’t responsive to support. Shady stuff. Wonder what they’re doing with my data.

Easy

So far it’s very easy to use and catches what I really want to say with only a few words.

Disappointed

Definitely did not work for me. Talks to text is just as good. The worst part is you never get to speak to anyone everything is AI drives me crazy wish I hadn’t bought it.

Great

Great application. I use it at work. It helps a lot. Very accurate. Very practical. It's amazing, really.

Time hack

If this works as advertised, this will be a time saver that gives me so much back

The best software ever.

This is the first software that I've used like this that actually works. This is awesome. And I can't believe that it's free.

It has access to everything

Found out you give this access to everything you have previously typed including addresses phone numbers and credit card passwords and bank information

Fantastic app

Absolutely fantastic app. What they have done with it is truly amazing. Free unlimited dictation is absolutely a godsend.

Cheers.

NICE! BUT NEEDS…

…an IPAD/Landscape-friendly version, please!

It’s good app

It’s a good app but they should have a lifetime deal. It’s expensive.

Language support

It doesn’t understand bangla language.

Great when it works

It doesn’t always work and drives me crazy. My iPhone is now not working well too! Its been waste of money.

Best dictation app by far

This is by far the best, fastest, and most accurate dictation app in the market at this time.

NOT on an iPad iPadOS.

Woefully embarrassing on an iPad

Besser geht es nicht

Ganz ehrlich – die Erkennung der App ist tatsächlich außerordentlich gut! Sie spielt quasi in einem anderen Universum verglichen mit der Systemweiten Spracherkennung des Telefons. ABER LEIDER hat A. es geschafft mit dem letzten System Update den direkten Zugriff auf das Mikrofon der zur Tastatur gehörenden App zu verbieten. So hat es nun der Gerätehersteller geschafft die Nutzung einer extrem guten Spracherkennung über die Tastatur zu unterbinden.

App needs polish

I just want to start off by saying that I love Willow Voice. Their Mac app is not Electron, meaning that when I use my external display, there is absolutely zero delay! I find the accuracy to be incredible! However, on iOS, I notice a fair amount of issues.

1. When I switch between the Willow keyboard and the iOS keyboard, after a few minutes, the haptic feedback that I have enabled on my iOS keyboard will go away, and I will have to force kill the Willow app to get it back. This is incredibly annoying.

2. The little animation that indicates that voice input is being received occasionally freezes and hangs up.

3. When I am using Termius to remotely access my terminals, the Willow keyboard is a different size than the iOS keyboard, which messes with the terminal redraw a good bit as well.

If some of these minor issues were polished, this would be the perfect dictation app on iOS by far!

Too slow

Functionally, it's just too slow having to swipe across and back every time you want to type something, and you lose Apple keyboard functionality like autocomplete. Just doesn't work well at all

I love how it breaks up my long transcriptions.

I left willow for another app & after a week I came right back. Willow does a much better job of surfacing large blocks of text & transcribing each thought. I did run into some bugs before but Ik the team is working on it and I’m excited to see their progress.
