Review summary

Overall, reviews praise fast translations, tagged transcript organization, useful summaries, a smooth user experience, and PDF export/sharing. Recurrent downsides are the steep price, reliability issues (errors and failures on longer videos), missing speaker-detection, formatting/readability problems, and limited support or trial options.

Pros

Fast and accurate translations across languages, even for long videos.
Transcripts organized with tags for quick, structured viewing.
Summaries help streamline content review and planning.
Smooth UX and ease of use on iPhone and desktop.
PDF export and sharing options (including time-stamped links) for study and offline use.

Cons

Very high subscription price with questionable value compared to alternatives.
Reliability issues and inconsistent results, including errors, long videos failing, or 'no results'.
Missing speaker-detection feature that many users expect.
Transcript formatting problems: giant wall of text in earlier versions and overly chopped text in newer formatting.
Lack of support and no free trial, with little guidance or an easy way to contact the developer.

2026-06-24	Ar*****	This app is written by a troll fishing subscription renewals. THE APP DOESNT TAKE LINKS. You have to search videos, and IT DOESNT FIND SHORTS. Just trash

2026-02-11	PK*****	Using transcripts with a summary app works well and makes the process simple. It does a really good job of organizing transcripts from the source videos, with tags, but even if you need tags, it still isn’t worth it. Paying $60 just to organize and tag videos and pull transcripts seems unnecessary when you can do the same thing with Gemini. YouTube on a desktop, grab the transcript, Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V it into an AI, tidy it up, and congrats, you didn’t have to pay $60 for an app whose main feature is basically repackaged Gemini, note app with tagging. On an iPhone, copy the URL into Gemini and that’s literally it. I could justify $5-10 at most but $60 a year—crazy!!

2025-11-11	CJ*****	I wanted to have printed versions of YouTube transcripts. It worked for the first video that I entered. But from that point on, I would enter the URL address for the video I was interested in, and the app would draw blanks “no results found“. No tutorial, no helpline, no support other than to tinker your subscription or credit card if desired

2025-08-26	L'*****	Paid money because there’s no free trial. Went to transcribe my first video and kept getting error messages. Simple hour long video with subtitles, nothing fancy. No way to contact creator to problem solve. Absolute rip off, stay away!

2025-08-04	Bl*****	Paid good money for this app and it would not transcribe a 4 hour long Terrance McKenna lecture. First I’ve seen it not want to work. So i give it three stars. Should give it 1. It shouldn’t deny me service
