Echo records your meetings and writes the notes for you. It works for online calls and in person conversations, transcribes in 100+ languages, and hands you a summary with the key points and action items when the meeting ends. Downloaded 360,000+ times by professionals, students, and teams.* Most note takers only handle online meetings. They send a bot into the call, it sits in the attendee list, and someone always asks what it is. Echo records from your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch instead. Nothing to invite, nothing to set up. DOES ECHO WORK FOR IN PERSON MEETINGS? That is what it was built for. Client meetings, 1:1s, interviews, lectures, site visits. Phone on the table, one tap, and you can stop writing and start listening. CAN ECHO RECORD ZOOM, TEAMS, AND GOOGLE MEET CALLS? Yes, and any other call too. Echo records from your iPhone the same way it records a conversation in the room, so the platform does not matter and there is nothing to connect. WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN THE MEETING ENDS? The full transcript, a summary of what was discussed, the key points, and the action items. Enough to write the follow up email without opening the recording again. And when you need one specific thing out of an old meeting, just ask. Echo AI searches the recording for you: what the client agreed to, when the deadline is, who owns what. FEATURES Summaries that give you the decisions and the next steps Key points, so you can jump to the part that mattered Ask Echo AI for answers about any recording Recording on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch, so you can start from whatever is closest Works with Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and calls on any other platform Upload audio you already have and get it transcribed Transcription in 100+ languages Sharing by message, email, or anywhere else you work Folders and search across everything you have recorded Workspaces that keep your whole team on the same notes WHAT USERS SAY From App Store reviews in the US: "One touch and my 90min zoom meeting was summarized in seconds afterwards. This is a career changing tool for me." "If you're in a meeting, this is a must have tool. Never miss anything important!" "Really an amazing tool and very accurate transcriptions with great AI built in features." WHO USES ECHO Salespeople and consultants who need a record of what the client actually said Managers running back to back 1:1s Students recording lectures and seminars Teams that keep losing decisions between meetings IS ECHO FREE?

StationsTimer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Do you need to lead the Stations of the Cross in a time-limited slot? StationsTimer will allow you to pace the stations equally, alerting you to move to the next station by a discrete vibration, and then showing the description of the new station on the screen. Many Christian churches following the Catholic tradition depict fourteen events around of the passion and death of Jesus Christ in a series of images. A common public exercise is to lead a group of worshippers to reflect on each event, with a spoken reflection and a period of silence. But when the Stations are to be led in such a way as to finish at a fixed time, pacing 14 pauses can be better judged using this app. The user simply indicates the total number of minutes available for the devotion, and the app divides the time into 15 equal units (allowing for a closing prayer at the end). There is no need to look at the phone continuously; a discreet vibration alerts the user to move on. The display also shows the title of the current station so any doubt can be resolved by a quick glance at the screen. The app is preloaded with three versions of the Stations: the traditional set of 14 long honored in Catholic churches, including events not explicitly recorded in the pages of the Bible; and two alternatives using exclusively Biblical scenes, one following the pattern in Clifton Cathedral (Bristol, UK), and the other a pattern used by St John Paul II in the Colosseum (Rome).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: StationsTimer at none against Echo's 9. Echo's advantage is chart position (#155 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
