Review Async?

Reviewers mostly see Async as a practical way to handle work voice messages with less back-and-forth. They repeatedly praise transcripts, easier catch-up for people who cannot listen right away, and a clear place to track updates and reply across multiple topics. Several say it saves time, works well with colleagues and external contacts, and feels more personal than email. A few also note that voice will not replace written communication or meetings in every case. The main sharp criticism is privacy: one reviewer says the terms allow overly broad data use.

I thought Async was great, but then I read the terms & conditions as well as the privacy policy. Virtually nothing you do on this app is off limits for what is allowed in the company's collection, use, and/or sale (sometimes called "sharing"). Any message you receive ought to be considered 0% private. This reservation of rights to the collection, sale, and use of user data (including all messages/voice memos) is unduly overbroad and ought to be more obvious rather than tucked away in lengthy legal documents. This is a shame because the app otherwise seemed worthy of use.

Hi Joseph, our privacy policy and terms and conditions definitely deserve an update, but nobody inside the company has access to the recordings on Async, and none of the data & recordings are being used for anything. We'll work on making that clear

So glad a team finally addresses the topic of voice messages! 🙏 I'm using them a lot on Whatsapp but many pain points 1/ some of my pro contacts and co-workers would rather read my msgs than listen to them, so the transcript feature is amazing here ✨, 2/ in the same way, I'm not always able to listen to my contacts' voice messages, 3/ it's tough to keep track of everything that is shared in a voice note and answer to all discussion points, 4/ not everyone is a fan of using Whatsapp (or another non-pro app) in a work environment. Thanks Async team for the great app! *Very* enthusiastic about it. (also: async.com => genius)

Congrats @ilan and team!! Async is literally one of a kind — there's nothing else like it out there. Ilan and the team have been super responsive with early feedback over the past few months, and iterating quickly. Async completely solves the problem of long voice notes and fills a void between long email threads and calendared meetings. I love having a branded link I can share with others or on my website for people to leave notes at, or share in an email as a response to someone. Agree with some of the other comments that removing registration for the other side would remove some friction — understood why it's there, but I wouldn't mind dealing with any spam etc. That said, upvoting this and hope it gets #1 for the day (even though we have a product of our own on Product Hunt today!) because it's just that good. Congrats all!! 🌟👏🏽
