Formerly a huge fan, unsure now
There's a few usability issues specifically around the zapier integration that make this close to unusable for me. I have been using it for a few months, hoping they'd fix these things but it appears the project has stalled, and I'm a bit concerned I may have just gotten bamboozled by one of those "we just launch for appsumo, make a bunch of money, never touch the app again" projects.
You can make zapier exports, but there's no way to categorize or delete previous actions - so if you have multiple, or rename them, you now have a cluttered actions button forever. There's no way to create an automation based on tagging - so the tags are mostly just visual, I guess. Ideally you could tag something "work meeting" or whatever and it would automatically fire an export. The hooks for your zapier integration are very limited, you can just export the title, text, date and tags. Also there's no way to break the export up over a few pages for something like notion, so you are limited by their maximum characters per page. You can't, for example, make a task list and export it as a list.
I'm hoping to come back and change my review once I see any updates to the roadmap or general attention from the developers.

Sep 15, 2025Hi Constantina!
Thanks a lot for such a detailed review!
Let me address your points one by one:)
Zapier exports / cluttered actions — we’re already preparing an update to fix this, so you’ll be able to manage and clean up actions more easily. This will be coming in one of the next releases!
Automations based on tags — this is something we’ve been thinking about, though it’s not yet in active development. It would be super helpful if you could drop us an email with concrete examples of how you’d like to use tag-based automations (e.g. what kinds of actions you’d trigger). That would help us design it better once we prioritize it :)
Limited Zapier hooks — right now we support title, text, date, and tags. Could you let us know what else you’d like to export?
Notion export length — we’d love to understand what note lengths are giving you trouble. Please could share a couple of examples?
Task lists export — please let us know where exactly would you like to export the lists?
Please reach out at hi@letterly.app :)
We're always open to chat, perhaps we could organise a call if you're interested!
On Android specifically, you’re right, so far we’ve focused more on stability improvements, but new features are also on the way!
At the same time we want to share Letterly is full-time work for our team, and we’re committed to making it better week by week and want to highlight what has been done so far 🥹
Since our AppSumo launch a year ago, we’ve released some new features:
• Rewrite of rewrites (multi-level rewriting for better text polish)
• Upload of external audio files
• Audio playback inside the app
• Permanent storage of audio recordings
• Multi-speaker recording with role separation
• Tags, note titles, search, and bulk delete
• Custom rewrite options
• Web app and Mac app
• And many smaller improvements along the way
Thank you once again Constantina! Hope to hear from you!
