Feature suggestion
First of all, we love this app! We are a live multi piece working performing band and like to rough record our gigs for later review. We been using this app along with an IRig interface taking a line out directly from the main board. After a gig, I import the audio in mp3 format direct to Dropbox that the rest of the band has access to play back. The feature suggestion I would like to see is in the import process, it could import with the gain control settings that used on playback. No matter what you set it to, the mp3 import is flat exactly how it was recorded. Sometimes the level from the board is set to low during record process and need to be tweaked up. The app cannot do that as far as I can tell. We been working around it by taking the file after import and using other software to bring up the level and re-saving. Other than that, we love this app!

Great app but collects data
I like this app a lot. It is easy to use and is rich with features. I like the user interface with the analog VU meter. You can also monitor the audio in digital meter view or wave view. The playback speed is very useful when you have to go through long recordings quickly. There so many other useful features that work well. I never had any problems with this app and I have used it for years.
The only thing I am concerned with is that the Privacy section says that this app collects data linked to you (I.e. the user). Why does it need to do that ? I am not comfortable with this.

Almost every detail thought through and executed
I use this to finalize my songs. It holds up THE BEST to the dreaded car test. Moreover I use this to record live performances atop the piano. You can dial in the microphone at various bit rates and depths. Even when recording through just an iPhone. This developer deserves every penny. This is the real deal even if you don’t need all the ‘Pro’ features. Works fast, the UI makes sense and wow does it sound good!

How do I sync recordings?
I have this app on both iPhone and iPad. I would like to use the iPhone version but there doesn’t seem to be any way of syncing the two, and it’s not always convenient to carry the iPad. I’ve tried asking in Google but the only solutions seem to be about Voice Memos, which do sync, not Voice Record Pro. I’m not great at finding things out for myself; I have checked that the right things are turned on in Settings on both devices, but I can’t view on my phone the recordings made on iPad. If it had been obvious, I would have given 5 stars.

Works well until you want to free up storage
This is a handy app for recording voice audios and is reliable, though there is a lot of buzzing/white noise on the recordings at times. It would be good if it included an option to remove this. The big problem I have with it, though, is the way it’s eating up storage on my iPhone. Deleting files never frees up space from the phone - once you’ve recorded, that’s it, the space is gone forever it seems! The files are deleted, but space is not freed.
This is now causing problems for me, as it’s taking over 5gb of space on my phone, despite not having many actual files saved and available in the app and I can’t reduce it no matter what I do. If this was fixed it would be a 4/5 star app, but this is a big drawback.

A must have for musicians
This is a superb app for recording music ideas that you want to develop later on. Use it for guitar and piano where the source is analogue and you want to capture all the other live sounds in background. The interface is superb, the screen has a lovely warm retro glow that brings back happy memories of of my old tape decks from the 70s. The upload facility to iCloud is great for editing later. Also note colour coding for different sources, convert to mp3, attach photos, slow down tempo etc, etc. Could eulogise for ages on this, it is the best, most useful app i have ever bought and encourage other musicians to get it.

Amazing
I’ve been searching for an app for recording voice overs for my videos - specifically one that could capture clean audio with no background hiss or “room tone.” The ability to set the input gain was half the battle, and the other half was solved when I paired this app with a Sennheiser ClipMic for iOs.. Crystal clear audio! Tons of features! Super easy to use! I love this app. I don’t care about the ad banner but I upgraded the app anyway to help support the developer! Get this app!

An app that does the job
How many times have I bought an app that "almost" does what it claims or does most things I need? Too many times!! But this app does everything I expected and a lot more! Cannot recommend it highly enough!
What happened to WAV?
I have used this app for some time to record audio bird vocalizations to upload to my eBird account. The app was recommended by Cornell University for this purpose and it is very easy to use. I am extremely disappointed to discover that Voice Record Pro no longer offers the option to record using the WAV format that is required for eBird audio submissions. I will no longer use the app or recommend it to other birders.

Great for recording band rehearsals
The fact that this app was so good in its free version made me feel guilty for not buying it, so I did. It has solved so many problems and added the ultimate convenience for recording band rehearsals.
For years I’ve been using a Zoom recorder which needed a battery and either had to be set up in the middle of the room or used with an external microphone so I could control it from behind the drums. This app on my iPad with a horrible cheap external mic in the Lighting port pointing into the room has made the Zoom redundant. My iPad is next to me and I can control the recording level to produce great quality reference recordings during rehearsals.
Cloud upload is the icing on the cake and this app has given my iPad another use and reduce the clutter of setting up for a rehearsal. Worth every penny.
