What people are saying

Early reviews from real users.

Cove is in early access. These quotes are from beta testers — anonymized but real. We add new ones as Play Store reviews come in.

On honesty

We're a small team and Cove is new. We won't fabricate reviews, won't pay for testimonials, and won't cherry-pick to hide criticism. Where a tester pointed out a real flaw — slow inference on older phones, missing Cantonese support — we say so. As Play Store reviews accumulate, the aggregate rating will appear here automatically.

Beta tester quotes

  • I went to Kyoto for a week and turned off mobile data the whole time. Cove read every menu, every shrine sign, every train announcement. I was genuinely surprised — my last trip I burned through ¥3,000 in roaming.

  • I record all my client calls for note-taking. Otter felt wrong because legal kept asking about server location. Cove records, transcribes, and summarizes locally. Migrated all my workflow over in two days.

  • Photo identification is fast and feels accurate for plants and labels. Inference takes about 2 seconds on my Pixel 7. I wish the model could keep state across photos better — sometimes the followup question forgets context.

  • I'm Vietnamese and showed it to my American friends visiting. They could read pho menus in three districts and never asked me to translate. The app handles tones correctly which most apps don't.

  • I record meetings in Spanish but write notes in English. Cove transcribes Spanish, then I ask the AI to summarize in English. Two-step but it works fully offline. Cheaper than Otter Pro and DeepL Pro combined.

  • I'm a nurse and I trialed the Health app for medication lookups. The disclaimers are honest and prominent — I appreciate that the app does not pretend to be a doctor. Useful for my own health questions, not patient care.
