Leave a Review iRecorder Pro Audio Recorder
Room for improvement 4 such high rated app
Although it does what it should, there is still a lot of improvement for such an app.
I find myself wishing I could write notes in recorder while irecorder is recording that could be saved as metadata with the audio file. Maybe even simple tags that can be searched for when loading files?
You could type in highlights as to what happened at what timecode while irecorder is recording.... Possibly visually display the notes as flags along a waveform view of a selected file?
I also wish I could give a name to a file while it's recording.
Pie in the sky would be an optional "recording sensitivy" step, previous to hitting record. User would sample an ambient "silence", then sample a peak level "target peak" and irecorder compensates to adjust the recording level accordingly. A compressor/limiter on the mic, in other words.
Awesome app in that it records through multitasking, and in all other areas it's great and does what it's supposed to without being intrusive while, typing an AppStore review for instance ;pShow lessmSepsis
It does what it is supposed to do
This app does what it is supposed to do and It's worth the money. I didn't give 5 stars only because I reserve that rating for software that is more comprehensive in its functionality. So being a 4 star doesn't mean there is a flaw. (…and It helps distinguish my review from one of the bogus reviews that all give 5 stars without ever trying or buying the product)
The recording file size is a bit large, but perhaps that's inevitable (and a function of all recordings). I like being able to load the files into iTunes for my iPod. The sound quality seems good although I just record conversations. The ability to email files is very convenient. The ability to name files is helpful and easy to use. I might recommend the author add an UNDO function. It's too easy to delete a recording by mistake.
I haven't figured out how to use the wi-fi transmission of files, but between emails and dropbox it's not a big omission.Show lessQuixotic9
An indispensable tool!
I love this app for several reasons. I teach yoga part time and periodically record my classes. I've also used it to record training lectures, which has served me VERY well. I then used it to record various experiences during a recent trip to Paris - the choir at St. Sulpice (remarkable recording, under the circumstances), a steel drum band behind Notre Dame and a 2-hour cooking class at Le Cordon Bleu. Most recently, during my first day of a trip to China, I lost my iPhone 4. I assumed I had lost all my audio treasures, but discovered then all intact when I reinstalled the app on my new iPhone 4S!!Show lessNmb4010
Lacks chapters and unable to use other apps at same time
I was hoping this would be a step up from the built in iPod recorder, but with the built in I can look at other things like photographs. This app stops when using other apps. If these could be fixed I would love it and recommend it to others. It would also be nice if I could transfer files using USB as individual file downloads can be a lengthy process if you have several interviews in a day.
I wish you luck with this app and look forward to updates.

Works great!
I love this thing! I was able to record chapters of a book - up to an hour of recording at a time - with no problems. The sound was great. The only thing that bothered me is that for the first few chapters, I couldn't change or add to the file name. It seems like I tried everything. But then suddenly it worked, I'm not sure why. Anyway, it worked really well for what I did. I was afraid it would shut off and I wouldn't know it but every time I checked it was recording just fine. Does anyone know how long it will record?Show lessakw123
Sound Design - best choice
I got this app to put my Mikey microphone (made by Blue) to work to record sound effects for an iPhone game. It works great! The sound quality will rely on your microphone.
You can name your individual files on the iPhone. When you download - the app sets up a internet browser page and you open your browser on your computer to download the files. If you have 50 short clips it can be a bit irritating to have to download them one at a time.
A batch file transfer would make it even better.Show lessParticle Fusion
I use iRecorder all the time: lectures, interviews, rehearsals, gigs...
I use iRecorder all the time, to record lectures, interviews, rehearsals, and even music gigs with my iPhone. I even used it to record an all-day seminar recently (with permission), and still had enough battery life left in my iPhone for an hour-long transit ride home. After 25+ years of dreaming of a useful, portable, easy-to-use, recording-on-the-go, digital-transfer-capable tool, this is all I ever use now. I do wish for three improvements: a) that I could transfer files through a USB connection instead of only via wi-fi, b) that I could record telephone interviews with it, which would dramatically improve its usefulness as a business tool, and c) that either I could turn the recording levels down or it could self-adjust a little more than it already does (when I record from the middle of our 16-piece swing band, it still handles our "blastissimo" volume pretty well but we do strain its outer limits a little). Still, when I think of how I've struggled with recording-capable portable tape players, dictation machines, my entire stereo/mic system, non-Mac-compatible mp3 recorders/mics (finally getting better than the earlier options and which I still have), and most recently my beloved 5th Gen iPod with a MicroMemo mic (which works great and I still use at times, but my iPod battery dies after recording for 2 hours)... I love this app.Show lessea/
Does the job
Does what it advertises and does it well. I don't have the volume issue and I suspect it went away when Apple released v2.1 of the iPhone software. As for feature sets, I would also like to see a Pause button, an alarm on recordings (to remind you to listen to it at a specified time/date) and exportable recordings, either to iTunes playlist on the iPhone/iPod or some other manner, would be very much appreciated and have me come back here and give it a 5 star rating.Show lesslounge_lizard
Great app!
Works like a charm!Jg_On
Transfer recordings as mp3 files?
The iRecorder is great for exactly what it claims to do. It can replay recordings clearly from either the speaker or via headphones, and the upside-down feature is very handy. Suggested Improvements: - Could use a track bar for those long recordings. - Any chance that you can find a way to transfer said recordings to the built-in iPod app as music files?Show lessIx Khor
