Mostly solved: ads. 10 of 10 apps run below the store’s typical rate on it — while 10 of 11 still carry limits & caps complaints.

How this is scored

Weighted mean of the sub-scores, weights re-normalized over whatever is computable (nobody's fixed it 25 · how far above typical 20 · how angry 15 · people in the market 15 · room to enter 15 · willingness to pay 10). Fixed anchors map each count to 0–100: breadth and willingness-to-pay are straight shares; the gap’s heat tops out at 4times the store’s typical rate; anger scores star3 as 0 and star1.5 as 100; reach runs 104 to 107ratings on a log scale; room to enter is one minus the leader’s share of shelf ratings. A factor that cannot be counted is dropped and named — never imputed. The site’s one composite (#115, owner decision 2026-08-15); cited industry benchmarks are never blended in.

“Wasted 5 minutes before asking me to pay — Let people know this is a paid-only product before your million setup prompts. Edit: The developer claims in their reply to this review that there is a limited free edition, but there was no way to bypass the pop-up that demanded me to buy PRO. I looked in every corner for an X and I looked closely for any fine print saying to exit. None.”CraftNote: Smart AI Note Taker · 1star · Aug 6, 2026
“So Sad — Paywalled out of seeing the last 19 minutes of an enthralling conversation because I didn’t press stop at the 89 minute mark to start a new one. My fault for being engaged in the conversation. It was a very unpleasant feeling seeing the message that Otter has it transcribed but if I don’t pay up to upgrade to Business from my 99.99/year Premium subscription, then I can get lost. Even funn”Otter Transcribe Voice Notes · 1star · Aug 3, 2026
“Wow. This is how former kings fall — Otter was the king of AI transcribing before ChatGPT was a thing. The secret weapon. Then like many lazy kings they do things at 50%. Example: I had a dozen meetings last week so I paid the quite expensive monthly subscription cost. Now I need otter to do what every other AI platform can do today: go through each of those 12 meeting scripts and take notes”Otter Transcribe Voice Notes · 2star · Aug 2, 2026

“If It’s Not Broken Don’t Fix It — When they say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. After updating the app I lost all my folders and previous notes. When generating a new note an error message populates, when creating a folder an error message populates. Good thing I updated before my subscription renewal.”Echo – AI Meeting Note Taker · 1star · Jul 16, 2026

“Voice to text on IOS still not working — Voice to text syncs incorrectly. It’s been months. MONTHS. A few words randomly disappear and it makes Notion unusable for me. Please for the love of God, stop adding more AI features NOBODY asked for and fix the app so we can actually use it.”Notion: Notes, Tasks, AI · 1star · Jun 16, 2026

“Frustrated Board Secretary — I have spent hours trying to extract the Summary to something I can use whether it be MS Word, Google, or simply email. Nothing works. Why isn’t the Summary its own product within the app that can then be forwarded, etc. So incredibly disappointed in this. I wish I had not spent the $ for this app.”Echo – AI Meeting Note Taker · 1star · Aug 13, 2026
“bloated & slow but useful — does an okay job as a note taking app. lowkey I think it has too many features. feels like it's trying to do too much. & it also crashes occasionally & is often slow. not to mention the constant insistence that you pay money for the AI. overall it's okay.”Notion: Notes, Tasks, AI · 3star · Aug 4, 2026

“Not good, not worth it — I have paid for the Notion Plus subscription for some time. I was worried when they introduced AI features but I stuck with it because I liked the product and they had been good so far. I regret that now. The app is still horrible and slow on mobile, nearly as bad on desktop, buggy, doesn’t give power users the features they need. STILL I paid for my subscription even th”Notion: Notes, Tasks, AI · 1star · Jul 24, 2026
“Used to Love this App/Program — I first discovered notion through work and really loved it. So, I began using it for personal items I wanted to document. Ever since the whole platform started pushing AI and became an AI workspace it has done nothing but go downhill. Functions within the app and on desktop used to work flawlessly.

“Watch app clunky — Granola Watch app has a dealbreaker flaw that needs fixing - once you start recording, your Apple Watch becomes a "granola watch" - use any other feature (look at a text, set a timer, check the date, etc.), and it stops recording! You can restart it when you're done looking at the text.... but 1) you just created a 'hole' in your meeting notes. 2) you need two more clicks to get”Granola - AI Meeting Notes · 3star · Jul 28, 2026

How this is counted

Every number is arithmetic over the reviews we hold, re-counted weekly — nothing modelled, nothing scored. Themes come from a frozen pattern classifier rather than a model reading reviews, so the same review always lands in the same bucket. A shelf rate is pooled across every app here; the store rate is the same count across 12,122 apps. A complaint is only called a gap when at least half the shelf carries it and at least 20 reviews are behind it — a problem concentrated in one app is that app’s bug.
