About

Consensus

Features
Read full description

Consensus is a brand-new app that helps writers process and organize the feedback they receive on their work. Using a simple two-step system, it encourages them to: 1) Distill the core ideas of each reader’s feedback into brief summaries 2) Group similar feedback using tags In doing so, a consensus is reached, helping to: • Validate suspicions about problem areas • Expose blind spots • Increase big-picture focus and reduce overthinking • Stimulate idea growth for new changes After the consensus has been found, what remains is a blueprint for future revisions with all feedback and files in one place. Other noteworthy features include the ability to: • Track progress on notes by flagging, prioritizing, and marking them complete • Sync work to iCloud for seamless access across all of your devices • Store originals and reader feedback files within a project • Link notes to their source file • Create profiles for readers and save their contact information • Divide large projects into subprojects for easier management • Organize feedback by section or draft Though built for writers, Consensus works for any creative field (and beyond). Privacy is our priority. Consensus never accesses personal data or files. Technical crash reports are the only information shared with us to ensure a bug-free experience.

Echo

Talk in Arabic, English, or both. Echo hands back what matters. Echo listens to your meetings, calls and lectures, remembers every word, and gives you the summary, the decisions and the to-dos. So you can stay in the conversation, not in your notes. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap to start at the top of a meeting, a lecture or a quick thought. 2. Put your phone down and join the conversation. 3. When you stop, Echo hands back a short summary of what was said and decided, to-dos pulled from the conversation, and the full transcript with timestamps, so you can jump to any moment. BUILT FOR ARABIC AND ENGLISH Speak Arabic, English, or both in the same sentence. Echo understands Gulf, Levantine, Egyptian and Maghrebi dialects as well as Modern Standard Arabic, and the whole app works in Arabic and English. ASK ECHO Ask anything about a conversation, like "What did we decide about pricing?", and get answers drawn from what was actually said. FOR YOUR WORK AND YOUR STUDIES Client meetings, team check-ins, interviews, lectures, study groups. Choose a template (meeting minutes, client meeting, lecture notes, interview and more) and keep clients, classes and projects apart in folders.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Consensus at none against Echo's 3. Consensus also leads on ads (none vs shown). Echo's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
