Pros / Cons
  • I honestly think it´s the best app out there, it´s easy to use and reduces the time it takes to transcribe long interviews or long audios.
  • allow you to waste your time editing a video. and then lock it behind a paywall.that is NOT a free trial. and you should have stated that CLEARLY before making someone waste time using your service.even if i did choose to pay for your upgrade, all this does is put a very unpleasant feeling towards your company out into the universe.
