I bought this app specifically for my new Apple Watch, in all honesty the reason I purchased this one over any other was due to the fact it supported the new Apple Watch Series 4 screen size, every other app I looked at didn’t, they displayed smaller on the new watch and looked outdated. Kudos to you guys for updating your apps to support newer devices sooner.However, I have one issue and one recommendation. Issue: My recordings no longer play back on my watch, the very first time I tried it everything worked perfectly but now the watch just doesn’t play the recording back, I’ve tried changing the volume, restarting my watch, reinstalling the app on both the phone and the watch and the playback functionality never returns.It’s still recording as I can listen to it on my phone afterwards but I just can’t listen to it on my watch, it shows its playing but it’s completely muted even when the volume is turned all the way up to 11...Recommendation: As I was trying various other apps before I stumbled upon yours, there was one feature that a few of the other ones have that yours does not, and that is the ability to initiate a recording using the phone’s mic from the Apple Watch. I would personally suggest a force press of the record button on the watch to give you the option to start recording on iPhone.Other than that your app is great, I’m looking forward to the update that fixes my issue, when it arrives I’ll take this from 4-stars to 5-stars.
Awesome app.

I absolutely like this app. I'm using it right now to write this review. It seems silly, but it's totally awesome to have constant dictation working , Recording in the background even. I can just keep talking and talking, and when I'm done recording I can get a transcription of what I said. This is the only apple I've seen that doesn't offer a subscription just to use their transcription features, or doesn't continue to ask you to purchase even more other software, or have annoying ads on it. Just a one time purchase, and you're good to go. I absolutely like the Apple Watch version of this app. I can record anytime I want to , From my watch, easily and quickly. I also like that the i WhatsApp is accessible with voiceover, as well as the iPhone app. I am blind, and having this app around to transcribe long pieces of what I want to see without stopping, without interrupting i am currently thinking or what I want to see, it's totally awesome. This is totally the best app out there on the App Store. It uses Apple's speech recognition functionality. Which means you have to say punctuation marks etc. when you're dictating. Just as if you were dictating on a text box with your iPhone.

Not going to mince words here-but I do not regret purchasing this app at all! I’m blind as a bat but I was able to figure this app out after I downloaded it a few days ago. It met my expectations. It’s really cool & thoughtful of the app developers to make sure that it’s fully supported by voiceover. Too bad not many developers Think about people like me who have a disability. It’s user-friendly and like I said well worth the price. Just have a few suggestions-In future updates maybe it would be possible to make categories for the recordings. Create folders within folders. Append to existing recordings even if some time has passed before you decide to add to the recording. Add more export options. Make more import options. Lastly, add more to the languages selection. I’m Filipino and sometimes I have to dictate or talk to someone or record a conversation in Filipino but it’s not supported. Otherwise it’s a great app and you guys did a good job. Kudos and a big thumbs up! Hope you’ll hear my suggestions out and consider them. Have a great day!😃😉

I use this on my iPhone and Apple Watch. It works great and I must say that it is working really great and having it on my Apple Watch is wonderful and it does sync to the iPhone fairly quickly one of the cool things about this app is on the iPhone you can have it auto transcribe your recordings, and then you can tap on the text for that transcription to jump to a certain part in the recording. Another thing that I found handy as you can create a shortcut and have the action button on the Apple Watch Ultra to create a new recording by pushing that button. In order for the shortcut to show up on the Apple Watch, you have to I believe it’s press and hold on the shortcut on the iPhone then select details from The pop-up menu and then choose the toggle to show on Apple Watch. Then, in the watch app, you could set a shortcut for the action button, and then choose that shortcut to create a recording. Of course, this app works on the iPad also wonderfully
This update contains bug fixes and performance improvements.
