Long time customer and it's safe to say that the otter ai development team does not really take any user feedback into consideration to improve their product. I've asked them numerous times to either give users the option to save recording on our SD card, allow them to manually move files from internal drive to the SD card or move the app altogether to an SD card. I have limited space on my phone's internal drive so I need this feature. Why is this so difficult to implement!!!

Since the last time I used this app it's been modified to the point it seems unusable. I tap on record and then all kinds of other options appear that have nothing to do with having a voice message put into English print. I'm likely going to uninstall the app since it's become very unfriendly to the user

Update: A user since 2017, the price jumps are getting too steep for an individual. It's now $18/mo & more restrictions. I'm seeking alternatives. Cloud saves only to Dropbox, or itself. Acceptable customer service e-support. Still light years ahead of Dragon Nuance, Google. Otter's voice-recognition is quick, & 90% accurate. App & PC sync perfectly. Auto punctuation is lacking. Buggy auto-sync w/calendar, Zoom or Meet.
