Ratings and reviews

I plan to go to the drive in theater with my child and I have moderate to severe hearing loss in my right ear. While I have a hearing aid, I still miss things from time to time. I was REALLY hoping to find an app that could help me since they don't have captioning boxes like a regular theater. However not only could I not enter my address (because the app said it wasn't right) but I also noticed after I UNINSTALLED it that they charge per minute. I wouldn't suggest this app.

Sure, some words might be inaccurate but at least the app has been consistent in transcribing calls to captions. Never stopped transcribing in the middle of a call. I don't want to forward my calls to the app because it doesn't have a spam reporting feature. It just blocks unwanted calls. This is important to me. Dev please add this feature.

I really like having this app. It works well except for one important thing, I am unable to delete history. I can delete one transcript at a time, but I need to delete history all at once. I have hundreds of transcripts and it's taking way too long to delete one at a time. I've gone to settings to delete all transcsripts, but it apparently is not working eventhough I get a message stating that all transcripts deleted successfully, all transcripts are still in history.
