Nice app, but needs to mature

I purchased Letterly while already owning another solution, just to see what it can do. The registration process is nicely laid out and you can manage multiple devices from one dashboard.
The app itself (it's truly an app intended for your phone) looks nice. There's a choice between dark and light mode. Overall the UI is clean and focused around your notes.

Recording
Clicking the Mic button immediately starts the recording. Recordings can be stopped, paused and restarted. All is very easy. It's not always easy to see if you are recording as the audio bars are not always moving, but there is a timer running at the top of the screen as well.

Notes are stacked in one place. After recording you select what you want to happen to the note. The whole process is quite fast and works well.

The end result is good, but as it is a phone app only (at the moment) it has limitations to what you can do with the generated result. You can share it by email or send it to Slack for example.

I didn't see any integrations like Webhooks, Zapier, Make, etc.

A web interface is still in development according to the maker.

In general the app is ok, but for now I'll stick to what I have. The team is very responsive on the Discord and I think the app does hold a bright future is they can keep up the pace and innovate the functionality.

Thank you very much for your detailed review!

Let me offer another perspective.

Letterly is the most mature product for iPhone and Android!

The app has quite unique features:
- Native and fast
- Record while the screen is off
- Record multiple recordings one after another without waiting for the transcription to finish
- Record and close the app without waiting for the file to upload to the server
- Offline recording
- Widgets (iOS for now)

Our rewrite options were designed with the assistance of a linguist. They weren't just thrown together in a day by one person.

All these features enable users to quickly capture thoughts and transform them into the text they need – whether it's messages, notes, content, or anything else.

From this perspective, Letterly is quite mature! It's a good tool for those who find working from mobile more convenient or for those who are often on the go.

That being said, I agree that adding a web version and integrations are essential next steps. We will do our best to add them as early as possible!
