User Reviews for Astound - Voice & Speech Coach

Improvement in just two weeks!

I just gave a presentation to a group in a large conference room. For the first time ever, I felt like I had plenty of breath and I could reach the back row without straining my voice. I didn’t have to keep clearing my throat. That tremor in your voice when you are nervous? NOT a problem! The exercises seem so simple but they really worked for me. In the past I always thought that I don’t sound as confident as I feel and this app has helped me turn that around. Contrast this with the speech coach who wanted $8000 for six months of online coaching. I feel that this app is a fantastic deal! A big thank you to the developers.

Going around in circles

Hello, this is a response to Robin’s response to my earlier review. Robin, you suggested I send you an email via the contact us button. That’s what I did and it did not get answered. In your response, you also provided a link to contact the developer, which goes to a Facebook page that has not been updated since 2019. I would be willing to try the app with a monthly subscription. However, as noted in all my previous correspondence, there does not seem to be any way to actually get a monthly subscription.

I do love the app itself but...

I wanted to train my voice to be deeper and more resonating so I’ve been using this app as a part of my morning routine. I do love the contents and could tell the difference almost immediately, as I got more conscious of the impact my body and mind can have on my voice. I also like how the app eases you into various techniques. That said, the app needs to be updated more often. Due to some bugs, it keeps shutting down as soon as I click on the icon. There’s a bit of buffering for, like 3 seconds, and then it shuts down. This has happened before and also this last 4,5 days. I also don’t know why I get logged out so often as well as the routine I choose (e.g. “speaking in front of a group” or “articulation”) doesn’t come up as the very first thing on top. Last time I was on the app, the category I had downloaded didn’t play Day 2 for some reason and I was stuck in Day, even though I already finished that routine twice. Given that it’s a training app that requires one patience and consistency to keep up, it’s so frustrating that technical glitches like these occur this often and in so many different ways to sabotage my desire to develop a good habit. Plus, I have a 6-month deal and it feels like I’m not getting the most out of what I paid for. I really hope they’re able to fix these issues so that it can become the greatest app that it truly deserves to be.

Very good but

I am locked out of my current subscription. Tons of clever exercises blending mind/body discipline like yoga, ChiGong , and actors workshop, all of which I am familiar with but the sets are well thought-out. The pace is excellent and the model is really great ( beautiful and friendly face with clear motions that teach well)!.However I would repeat each session 2 or 3 times to be fully warmed up. I like it a lot but do I need to once again delete and reinstall to recover my subscription ? I already lost a crop of recordings ( very useful function ! ) thank you great job.

Looking for this for years

I am a high energy, fast talking, at times lazy mumbling, think out loud person but let’s get to next topic. I have been speaking fast all my life and dealing with clarity/articulation issues. Frustrated by the advice “just talk slower” (most frequently by mom). This wasn’t working for my brain and is impractical advice, I looked for books and exercises to practice to improve my speech. Where are the exercises King George VI used?? 😂 How costly is a speech pathologist? Thankful this app was invented for a common and overlooked challenge many have!! People have commented on how I am talking more clearly and definitely getting less “what?”. And I realized SO much more goes into clear communication besides “talk slower” e.g. pitch, lazy tongue, opening mouth more, etc. Some of these exercises I have come across in books but having an app to track and demonstrate is invaluable. Many books/podcasts focus on public speaking or other focus. This breaks down where our speech is garbled in day to day communication and why certain problems occur. And something I think everyone would benefit from trying once. Only minor inconvenience — It is a new app so crashes every once in awhile but it is very user friendly and continually updated, so not a deal breaker — especially when nothing like this exists or that I have found to help.

Left more to be desired

This is generally a good app, but with some rough edges. I did the 30 day challenge, which I felt gave me some good help with my voice. However, there were a few things I disliked, which all contribute to one big thing: there wasn’t enough attention to detail in the design of this app. Here’s why:- There were quite a few typos.- Numerous tips are given to you to help improve your voice (such as speaking is just breathing out) but there isn’t anything like a cheat sheet to help you remember these in case you forget- The 30 day challenge tells you voice training is something you need to practice each day, but doesn’t tell you how to after it is completed.- It is hard to tell the difference in purpose between the “out of bed” and “early bird” workouts. Their names seem like they mean the same thing: a workout you do early in the day.All in all, the voice training given in the app is excellent. The app’s design just needs to given more attention to detail.

Amazing!

I am a busy surgeon who is also giving talks at national meetings. I was looking for ways to elevate my vocal presence on stage and came across Astound. I have been using it for a few weeks now and must say I am blown away. It’s been guiding me step by step on how to improve my voice and I feel confident as ever in my speaking abilities both publicly and in private with my patients. Big Thank You to the developers for a great app!

Great potential,but...

This app is fun and easy to use. The lessons are great and I love that I can compare past recordings of my voice. After a couple of days I decided to subscribe via my email. I signed up on my iPad and I can’t access the paid content on the iPhone app. Another issue on the iPad app the description of the lessons don’t fully show up. For example: “This pack helps you find your authentic vocal pitch so that you can gain your listeners trust and make them trul...” I tried deleting the app and signing in again yet still I have the same issues. This app has a ton of potential and I really hope these problems can be fixed as I’d love to go through more of the lessons.

Another reviewer whose app crashes

I’ve emailed the developers twice with no response. Extreme waste of the yearly subscription I bought. Developers like the subscription model and I bought into it because I saw value in the app but one does expect responses when what they’ve paid for no longer works. I expect that this review will get a similar response to what previous reviewers have gotten - please send an email. Well I have done that already. I would like the developers to please respond.

Amazing App

Love this App. have started to use it every day and have seen some excellent results. I’ve never been able to fold my tongue, but after using this App I found that my tongue flexibility has greatly improved and can easily fold it now. I am also learning a great deal about how to improve my speaking ability
