Nice features but sound quality REALLY lets it down
Sorry to have to back up the comments about poor sound quality. It *really* needs improvement.
The interface is good, and the syncing/importing feature just added is also useful (my old Sony dictaphone did the same thing) ... but yes, when I tested VoiceNotes after buying QuickVoice ... VoiceNotes has *much* better sound playback quality (proving the iPhone audio system can do the job)... I like the feature set and I like the interface, so bring on an upgrade! (I have QuickVoice v1.1)

Pretty Good!
So. I read the negative reviews here - but a positive review on another forum. So - I really needed a memo program after using one on my treo for years. So, this program just works. and it works well - unless you have a quiet voice. I tried it when i was in the living room with my daughter - so i was kinda being quiet so i wouldn't interrupt her. and the playback i could not hear anything. Then later - I tried it in a more realistic setting for me - which is driving my car - and needing to make audio notes. and it works awesome! even with the radio on loud - my voice comes through loud and clear. I wish it worked better for when i talk quiet - then i would give it a five. but for what it is - i think it is very good. 4 stars. PS i haen't tried it using the mic on the headphones - this is just using the mic built into the phone it self. 1st gen iphone.

First class interface, shame about the sound quality.
This is the best user interface of all the voice recorder applications, and I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the poor recording quality. I am also using a free iPhone app called VoiceNotes which impressed me with its recording and playback quality, but I changed to Quick Recorder because the VoiceNotes interface required too many steps to start recording - an important consideration if you usually record on the run (or while driving). QuickVoice Recorder however provides a very slick looking interface that starts and finishes recording with a minimal of fuss. I would have thought the recording quality would be exactly the same for any application if they are runnign on iPhone, but clearly, they are not. QuickVoice has a scratchy shallower sound, possibly using very high compression ratios. The difference is extremely noticeable. I hope a future update will fix this otherwise perfect choice.

Not Very Impressed
I am getting poor quality sitting right next to it. No way it could successfully record a lecture in a large room.
