HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (137 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Latest reviews, United States App Store.

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Subscription is deceptive

It’s quite a useful app, although in a crowded room, it has a tendency to also transcribe nearby conversations. They do not make clear, when you pay $79.99 for an annual subscription, that it actually buys only 10 hours per month of best quality transcription, which is the only mode that is better than free alternatives.

★★★★★Oct 18, 2026
Life Changing

This app has literally changed my life. I can now have a conversation with someone and actually know exactly what they’re saying back to me. And it’s so easy to use and so very accurate .Thank you so much.

★★★★★Oct 16, 2026
Helps With Accents

I have a high frequency hearing loss and women's voices are difficult for me. I am in a Scripture group of women, we sit at round tables in a large room. Some discussants are across the room and some have accents. I considered dropping out of the group until this App gave me the option to understand everything said. It is a great relief not to strain and still feel left out.

★★★★★Oct 14, 2026
Caution.

Got charged for a years subscription when I did the free trial. Complained to Apple and was refunded. Be careful about the “free” trial.

★★★★★Oct 11, 2026
Add weekly sub

I love the app but I only see my grandma a few days out of the year so a month sub isn't necessary. Could you please add a weekly sub option

★★★★★Oct 10, 2026
Unbelievably aggravating app

This app is charging me monthly but says my subscription has ended. I have it on basic which is unlimited but it still won’t work. I have restarted multiple times. No human available to help. No good to me if it doesn’t work when I need it. Pro transcribe is pretty good if it works but you only get 3 hours a month. Not very helpful for a deaf person. We need it all the time. The monthly cost is unrealistic for higher hours.
