User Reviews

Users praise the app for accurate transcription, offline Mac processing, drag-and-drop ease, and API-key support, with active ongoing development. However, they repeatedly complain about pricing and paywalls, reliability bugs and crashes, limited transcript formatting/export options, weak support/refunds, and cross-device compatibility problems between iOS and macOS. This mix of strong core functionality and persistent usability and pricing issues drives a polarized overall impression.
Pros
  • High transcription accuracy, including handling of multi-speakers and technical terminology
  • Local processing on Mac (offline) with strong privacy advantages
  • Drag-and-drop import and a native macOS feel for a smooth workflow
  • Supports using your own API keys and open models
  • Active development and ongoing improvements by the developer
Cons
  • Pricing and paywalls: recurring pro subscriptions and nagging upgrade prompts across platforms
  • Reliability issues: app often doesn’t work, crashes, or won’t transcribe or open after purchase
  • Formatting and editing limitations: difficulty creating paragraph breaks, limited punctuation/export options, hard to copy text
  • Support/refund difficulties: limited or unresponsive support and unclear refund options
  • Cross-device compatibility problems: mobile and desktop versions don’t interoperate well, plus iPadOS/macOS experiences and performance issues

... and the app itself recommends one uses the free voice memo app for longer recordings. Why pay then? Developer needs to make a better version, connect it to the desktop version, etc.

The app desperately needs to be able to take sources such as YouTube or other social media and transcribe them from the share function.

The mobile app can’t at all work with the desktop one. It can’t even open the whisper files! Ridiculous!!!
