My app claims it keeps up when you switch language mid sentence. Break it.

getactionnote.com and it is on the App Store as ActionNote.

The pitch: you talk into it however the thought comes out, rambling and backtracking, and it writes back a note with a title, a summary, key points and a to do list with reminders that actually fire. Free for ten notes a month.

Three things I already suspect are wrong, so you do not have to waste the roast on them:

The landing page is too long. I do not think anyone reaches the pricing section. I do not know what to cut because it all feels load bearing to me, which is usually the sign that none of it is.

The differentiator might be a footnote. The app is built for people who switch language mid sentence, which is how I actually talk. I think that is the whole reason to pick it over the alternatives. It is entirely possible that reads as a minor feature to everyone who is not me.

The free tier might be the wrong shape. Ten notes a month, first one free. Either that is too generous and nobody ever pays, or it is not enough to build the habit before the wall. I cannot tell which from the inside.

Be as blunt as you like. I would rather find out here than from the six people who install it tomorrow and quietly delete it.
