Leave a Review Voice Recorder & Audio Editor
Used to be great, now has long pauses, other problems
Maybe it’s the cloud backups uploading
But the pauses are insufferable. Waiting for the song to save can be infuriating and break creative flow. I use this to record our band, which handles loud volumes really well, BUT, Also doesn’t seem to be stereo, and I can’t find a way to enable stereo recording. You would think the UI would mention it. Also, the cloud uploads are kind of once only, and never even try to sync the name if you change the name... which wouldn’t be awful, except the first copy that saves out uses the default name instead of the name you give it. Much work to do on this app to bring it to 100%, but for years nothing has changed. Still, I like it and use it. But it’s not 5 starsShow lessÜber monkey 1337
Very frustrated
This application does a excellent job of recording but I have to remember to stop and restart recording if I want to capture the 30 minute transcript of a virtual engagement. Instead I would like to see more options with the recorder. One, offer longer segment of recording and transcribing with the app. Such as 30, 45, and 1 hour segments. In addition, offer a visual clue that session is within 10 and/or 5 minutes so we can determine if we need to end session early and/ or establish a new recording track. Two, provide the option of selecting which sections of recording we want transcribed. Rationale: Sometime the first 30 minutes is not the most important when reviewing the session again especially when we are still trying to understand the virtual meeting concepts. Three, if there is a memory or some other unknown restriction, please tell before we start recording a session only to find out after the event has ended that the app did not record any of the virtual engagement. Fourth, show actual recording time/number of captured words since false starts from background noise, etc. We can eliminate those sessions easily. Very frustrating.Show lessNYC BDBx
Useful and user friendly
This app is useful in that it records, allows you to rename files, share the file, and organize in different folders. It is pretty user-friendly. One thing I think should change is, when you pause the recording to check another app it usually stops recording in the original file. You then have to begin recording in another audio file to continue your recording session. This leaves you with two or more files that could/should be one continuous file. Perhaps the user could be allowed to join files together, but I have not seen that capability. Overall, very useful and user friendly.Show lessLKoolman
Great & Fairly Priced and Missing NEEDED functionality
I love this app! I use it mostly for classes, and it’s been wonderful to record lectures that I can then convert to text, then integrate with my notes. The one downfall is I’ve found that when a class has a break, or some times it seems random, but the recording breaks itself into 2 files. I would really love it if you’d add the ability to join selected recordings. Furthermore, for those times when I forget to pause, or there’s a portion in the midst of the recording that is not wanted, I wish I could trim out a mid-section and then join the parts on the outside together...it would help to save space, and time ...especially when transcribing. Thanks! I hope this helps the developers as well as the community as a whole!Show lessPlayer1g
Great app, honestly amazing BUT as of late it’s not functional.
Great app, been subscribed for quite some time now. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my subscription due to what I assume is a major bug in the app.
Before I state the issue, I have force closed the app, turned my phone on and off and I’ve uninstalled and installed the app. I checked for an update, hasn’t been one for 5 months.
The issue is it won’t record. After you press done, once it’s saved, you open the file and it’s empty, no sound, nothing. No matter if you record 5 seconds or 5 minutes, the file eventually ends up at 0.Show lessYuri da boi
5+ yrs user - Lots of glitched, but...
I only use pro NO call recorder. Only store files on phone and transfer to macOS.
+ Records well and consistently.
+ Transcribes via WiFi up to first 30 minutes of the recording.
+ Limit of 15 transcriptions per day due to Siri Apple agreement.
- Transferring text transcript files to Mac yields file name with all arbitrary characters, and you must transfer each audio and text file one at a time. Can’t just select multiple files and transfer, as though all were audio. If u do, you won’t be able to match audio file names to their transcript file names.
- LOUSY dev support.
- LOUSY documentation.
- NO Trimming!! Instead, reduced file size and same recording duration.
- Can NOT transcribe a file that has been “trimmed”.
- Almost NONE of the “-“ items are documented.
* After 4 hours of trying to trim, I had to find out the trimming is a “remnant” thus does NOT WORK, from the poor users who complained on the review.
** If you are a developer, I urge you to develop an app that allows you to transcribe without using an online human per-word service or monthly subscription. THIS is the ONLY reason I still use the app. I would gladly switch if there were any other app. Alas, Voice Recorder is the only one I’ve found.Show lessIknewiwassmart
I would give this app zero stars if it was an option
Twice now I have attempted to use it for two very important phone calls, and it has completely failed. The first time I checked multiple times throughout the call to confirm it was recording, and it was the entire time. After the call, I saved it only to discover that although it recorded the entire time there was no actual data, just a blank recording. After some digging I have come to the conclusion that I could only record for an hour. Why is that not clear anywhere on the app, and furthermore, why would the app not just stop recording at an hour if that is the case?? I gave it a second shot as I knew this call would be shorter, and just to be safe I would break up the recording into smaller segments. This time data is there, but it is practically unusable. The recorder only caught pieces of our convo, and the phone was literally right in front of me. Luckily, I also recorded on my laptop which was several feet away, and that recording is perfect. No issues at all with capturing both of your voices.Show lesskaylajane0118
User-friendly, has tons of features.
Also I LOVE that it looks like the tape recorder I had as a child. Straightforward, simple operations. I also love how it immediately uploads your recordings to the cloud if you want. Also there’s a sleep timer. And more but those are my favorite features so far.
I have never had a bug in three years. Am very satisfied.
If this were a pay app it would be well worth the money. I’d buy it. That’s really saying something because I am thrifty to a fault!
Perfect for recording my audio journal, and for recording the funny things kids say.Show lessKathleen KT
FIX THIS APP FOR IPHONES
this was the best recording app until you updated it. now my names won’t save half the time, it crashes often, sometimes when i open it it will say i have no voice memos and have to restart my phone, sometimes it takes a year and a half to start after opening the app, i mean come on. i accidentally turned on the icloud feature and it deleted a ton of memos on my phone thank god i had them back up on my computer but now it won’t let me transfer new cloud ones to my mac. and i can’t even find them in the cloud but if i turn cloud off it’ll delete all the ones i made in the cloud until i turn it back on. please fix this app i’m a musician and i have hundreds of ideas recorded that are only stored in this app if i lose them i’d lose 3-4 years of work and ideas. i’ll literally lose everything. please fix it.Show lessTravisJay78
Best app ever!!
So I am a singer songwriter this app is so amazing, anytime I want to record a song that I'm just thinking about my head while cleaning my room I can do it so quickly with just a couple tabs I can just record it and name it and save it to my iCloud and it's amazing I really do think this app deserves five stars maybe even more, because this app has help me in so many different situations and I am so grateful for it I definitely recommend getting this app I love that you can put a password on it I think that's really smart if you don't want anyone getting into anything that you think or want to keep private I think that's really smart and I really love that feature I don't really have any problems with this app I recommend if you ever need to record anything anything at all this is that app. so yes you should get it I love this app so much:)
