Very good UI and features! except... the actual captioning isn't very accurate, especially for what I need captions for- teacher instructions in class above background noise also, the option to save transcripts isn't appearing in my settings, and the bot and customer service wa subpar when I asked for help- they just sent me the same list of instructions that did not work for me, because the option itself didn't appear :///

I couldn't easily figure out how to call someone or share it. You can share a link but it just went to the generic app. they're supposed to be an option to share a QR code but I had no add button anywhere. maybe that all is part of a subscription. I just removed it.

It's very helpful to be able to read what someone is saying, since, even with hearing aids, my severe hearing loss prevents me from understanding all the time. However, I would very much like to be able to read transcriptions during phone conversations, which I don't think Ava can do yet.
