I just installed this app and love it! I have been affected by a significant loss and use the typing feature to activate my ‘executive brain’ The typing sound and the repetitive scrolling of to do items and directions keeps me focused. I am also thinking of other healthy things it will assist with . This is an absolute gift. Many blessings!

I paid for the app. Being a nonverbal deaf person, I heavily rely on this app to communicate with hearing people. In terms of usage it’s great.
But it’s also annoying in that:
- if pausing listening mode then going back to listening mode several times rapidly, it crashes the app.
- It doesn’t clear screen when first opening the app, so people often will see my last conversation which violates my privacy
- There’s no button to clear screen, so I have to hit pause, listen before it clears the screen, which will crash app sometimes.
- App complains about over 5k items in recognition history every time I launch the app. If it’s a problem purge it yourself, don’t complain to me, I’m deaf, I don’t know what recognition history is nor do I care about it, I just want to freaking use the app without being hassled by it. Those days I just hit cancel and ignore the warning. It’s pointless.
- Can’t use pinch,stretch to alter text size, have to tap +\- to adjust. Counter intuitive.
- I can’t type while they’re speaking. I have to pause listening mode to shut them up before I type otherwise what I am typing is lost. Split pane would be nice so I can listen to them while typing.
Aside from those issues it’s a good app. I recommend it to people often.
