★☆☆☆☆ Holds you're data hostage
Paid for the app for year stopped went to pull a file
I did when I paid for it can't get it unless I pay for it....not even the raw recording…
★☆☆☆☆ Not working properly
I still dont have summary or transcript from 12:00 noon, 10 hrs ago. Sometimes it stops recording in the middle of things. It has done that a couple times. I dont know what to do to fix it.…
