Leave a Review Voice Recorder & Audio Editor
Been using for ~10 yrs
I’ve been using this app ever since the mid-2010’s, and it’s always been a really good recording app to use whenever I have ideas for songs I want to write and don’t want to forget them.
You can pause the recording in the middle of recording it. And then resume it again when you’re ready.
After you record the file, you can also choose to trim out either parts in the middle or parts on the ends and save it as a new file.
There is a folder system that you can store things in, and you can choose to back up your storage through a variety of methods, including iCloud and Dropbox.
If you accidentally forget to save your recording, the file is still saved in the main folder, with an auto-generated name. So you don’t lose it forever.
There are some major setbacks though:
When you choose to save a recording to a specific location, it doesn’t actually save to that location, but saves to the main folder instead. And then you have to manually move it to the location you want.
Moving the files and loading folders also takes an unusually lengthy amount of time, and also feels a bit buggy.
And of course, the audio quality is not very good. But that’s to be expected, since it *is* being recorded from your phone.
Despite all these, this app is very reliable as I’ve been using it since the mid-2010’s, and it’s never broken or stopped working. So kudos to the developer for keeping it updated!Show lessErallie
Great app…I just need dire help with a bug
Hello TapMedia team, I have been using your voice recorder app on my iPhone for over two years now and its been great as a substitute to voice memos Apple. In these two years never have I experienced a problem with sound quality or difficulty to use. I learn music and all my recording over the past 2 years have been in the voice recorder app. I also love the visual flair of it being like a VHS recorder, very nostalgic and nice feeling. However as of one week every time I open the app it suddenly shuts down, and this happens every single time, thus I have been unable to use the app at all, unable to record or listen to previous recordings. The problem is that a large part of my previous recordings I haven’t saved to drive because of not foreseeing something like this. I can still see for a split second that the previous recordings are there, but I’m unable to use the app and listen to them because it immediately closes. I have read elsewhere that it can be a problem with storage and updated software, so I have cleared all the storage I can and updated my IOS to the latest version but it’s still not working. Please help and give me a fix for this problem.
Sincerely, RajShow lessRaj Nash
Great, but…..
I really like voice recorder! I use voice recorder for recording my college classes, so that I can listen to the lectures again time and time again to for a better retention. There are times when I need to delete something. I can rename something ‘delete’, so that I can go back and delete it later, but I have noticed that I have not been able to go back and delete it, which has become a problem because now I have all these files named delete. If the company could let us be able to delete things that would be awesome and I would give it a five star, but until then, I gave it a four star. Also, when my kid was little I would record him talking. Now that he is older I still have his voice saved and can listen to him as a baby and toddler whenever.Show lessWhat?! No negative stars!
So-so
It’s a simple recorder not studio quality for those that just want to sing and practice as a regular home singer lol. That’s me so it’s good for me. I love its simplicity in recording and being able to make simple recordings. It’s also very easy to make folders and label them. Easy to delete recordings and folders. The fact that I can do so much with it for free deserves 5 stars
BUT I minus 1 star because while it’s easy to record and it’s easy to make folders it’s not easy to figure out how to transfer a recording to a certain folder. I haven’t COULDN’T figure that part out and so I had to email the app developer about it 🤦🏽♀️
ALSO WHY does it rolls over to the next song when I don’t want it to do that 😤😤😤😤 I can’t figure out how to stop that 🤦🏽♀️ so minus ANOTHER Star down to 3 stars.
Please fix those two issues by including instructions EASY TO GET TO in your app on how to EASILY remedy those issues without wrecking my brain trying to figure it out.Show lessms veganista
Consistently Reliable
Voice Recorder app was downloaded onto my IOS phone back in 2016. I also downloaded another good recorder a few years ago and used it for a while. Voice Recorder is just better! This app has been flawless in performance for me. It’s never seized up when in use during my short 1 minute to 3,4 hour recordings. Over the years, the updates to Voice Recorder keeps on updating this app to a state of the art, easy to use reliable recorder. Don’t hesitate to download, you’ll experience what I’ve been over the years with this recorder.Show lesslegacy lynn
Simple but need some upgrades
I love this App and use it all of time to record song ideas, practices, and other important things that I want to keep for later. However, there are a few things that I if addressed would be a better tool, especially for musicians.
1- when songs are backed-up on your Google Drive it has a generic name (Audio_03_06_2022). When you change the name of the audio to make it easier to find and identify, the name is not updated on Google Drive. So when I look for the file on Google Drive I only see the generic name assigned.
2- if we could open and/or export using multiple formats.
3- I would love to see some basic eq and effects function but that is not necessaryShow lessMaciel117
This is the best recording app there is.
I use this to record my podcast, voice over auditions and tons more. Although I want to support the makers I gotta say the free version is more than enough.
Besides crystal clear playback the best thing about this app is EVERYTIME I open it, it works. I don’t have to sign in, download updates, remember passwords, pay a monthly subscription then to finally finish my recording and you can’t export it or if you can it’s some weird format
Not here.
You open it, hit record, hit stop, name it and e port it as an MP3 in seconds.
Tried em all, this is the best one out there.Show lessdrnstvns
Always Crashes
I used the app to compile original musical ideas, for critical listening of compositional work and production in progress and to occasionally record portions of my drum practices. I successfully made over 2000 recordings. At a certain point in time the app started simple “crashing” while reviewing my work. The inability to consistently review my work required me to begin using another recording app for the purpose. I did successfully upload Voice Recorder to my iTunes and I can listen to ideas there but they are in alphabetical order. I would much prefer listening to them on the app, as they are in chronological which is beneficial when reviewing musical ideas consisting of multiple recordings. Every time I decide to approach the app for review purposes, it consistently crashes.Show lessLady 53
Beyond Expectations
I assumed with a free app, there would be restrictions and functions that require in-app purchases or an upgrade. That has not been true with this app. All the features I have used are been great. It is easy to organize files. I really like the ability to listen to all files in a folder without needing to choose which is next or press play. Life is busy and this has been a great study tool. Yes, there are ads but those ads do not interrupt recording or playing. I do think the app has two flaws. First, it can easily drain battery life. Second, when recording I cannot exit the app or pause then pick up where I left off. Even with the minor flaws, this app is still worthy of five stars.Show lessKCO44
my favorite all time iphone recording app!!
it's been a long love affair with this app..so many years i've lost count..could be getting close to a decade even. it's captured many a live performance, rehearsal and random sounds and conversation without issue or fail. i've probably gotten at least 40 friends to download it over the years. on my wish list this year: add the ability to start/stop recording from an apple watch (like a remote control). i may have requested this in a prior raving review...but i often record live music rehearsals and since i drum, i typically place my phone on the other side of the room to get the best balance of instruments in the mix using my iphone's mic. it would be amazing to be able to start and stop recording and start a new recording without having to get up each time to do that. aside from that -- i send my appreciation to the developers and owners of this app for creating such an amazing recording app. it has met all my recording needs and then some...and thank you for making it accessible for everyone.Show lessevollove
