A few months ago I canceled my subscription to Jott. Between Reqall’s powerful voice-to-text memory system and Dragon Dictation I found that I wasn’t using it all that much. After a time however, I found that I missed being able to Jott new appointments to my Google Calendar and new tasks to Toodledo so I signed back up. This time I opted for the plan that lets you record just 15 seconds. It is much cheaper and would work fine since I only planned to use Jott for quick tasks and appointments only. But there was a problem… Jott stopped working on my iPhone as soon as I updated to iOS 4.0.
I inquired as to what was going on and a few days later Jott sent out this email…
That was almost a month ago and it is still not working. While others, such a CoPilot Live, have updated their apps within days, Jott continues to not work on the iPhone. So I emailed their customer service the following…
Weeks later and the Jott for iPhone app still does not work. I would appreciate a refund on my annual account or an extension of the service by a day for each day the service remains broken on an iPhone running iOS 4.0. This is crazy and others have already updated their apps long ago.
Thank you.
It was a simple request… either refund me my annual subscription or tack on one extra day to my contract for each day the app has not worked. After all, I subscribed to Jott again in order to use their iPhone app.
To their credit they replied quickly. But that is as far as the credit goes since this is the message I got back…
Hi Daniel Cohen,
Update: iOS 4 compatible Jott for iPhone app available soon!
We’ve submitted a new version of the Jott for iPhone app to Apple that is iOS 4 compatible. We’ll send out another update as soon as it goes live on the App Store. Thank you all for your patience while we worked on this, we’ll be in touch again soon!
Until the new app is available, remember that you can use:
–jott.com/mobile (to view your Jotts on your mobile phone)
–866-JOTT-123 (to call in to send Jotts with your voice from anywhere)Regards
Julien
Translation:
1. We’ll fix it and will let you know when that finally happens. (Remember it has been almost a month!)
2. Until the iPhone app works just call into Jott. (But that’s NOT why I subscribed! Moreover that is the same answer they gave A MONTH AGO!)
3. They didn’t even bother to acknowledge my request. Seriously, customer service reps… at a minimum would you please at least acknowledge the actual question or request being made???
I feel like making this call to Jott…
Jott- “Who would you like to Jott?”
Me- “Jott to Jott… please cancel my subscription and give me a prorated refund for the year.”
And I will … if the iPhone app ever starts working again!
