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

Recent reviews

At some point the developers got carried away adding AI transcription engines, but in the end the only one that works somewhat reliably is Parakeet v3. I used to transcribe 90-minute presentation recordings through this app without any issues. Now even a 30–40 second video clip can take so long to process that it’s easier to walk away and do something else. Very disappointing experience. The app has become slower, less reliable, and far less useful than it used to be.

Sometimes it doesn’t record. I don’t like the fact that it doesn’t continue to record if I go to another app. I have missed a lot of information with this app.

The Mac app performs reasonably well, but the iPhone app falls short. Translation accuracy is often poor, and the summaries generated are frequently inaccurate. Overall, the experience did not meet my expectations, and I wish a refund were available. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this app.
