Audio Class Notes lets you study anywhere you have your iPod or iPhone. Study while at the gym or commuting. This app is a must-have for high school and college students with busy schedules.

Having a rough time understanding a certain concept? Tag it and hear your teacher explain it again as often as you want with just a touch. Big test coming up? Refresh your memory quickly and easily by jumping right to the explanations, without having to listen to an entire lecture.

Audio Class Notes also lets you upload your lecture files to your Dropbox account.

### 5/5 — Class recorder

*2025-11-04, version 5.0.4*

So far the best lecture recorder

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-08-23, version 5.0.4*

This app is exactly what I needed. I’ve used it since starting college in 2023 and use it for every class I attend. I hate doing homework and trying to recall what the professor said and drawing a blank. It saves all lectures from previous years as long as I don’t delete it, even after switching phones. As long as you have your cloud settings to save the data from this app. The best!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-08-08, version 5.0.4*

Apesar de o meu ipad ser antigo, o app continua funcionando perfeitamente. Utilizo para gravar aulas e palestras e a qualidade da gravaçāo é excepcional. Único porém é nāo apagar da memória quando apago a gravaçāo. Para recuperar armazenamento no ipad, só desinstalando e reinstalando o app.

### 1/5 — Dropbox issue

*2023-01-15, version 5.0.4*

Can not get it to work with dropbox

### 3/5 — Mas o menos

*2022-11-29, version 5.0.4*

Graba bien pero no se puede reenviar la grabacion. No la volvere a usar. No se deja cargar al deopbox

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2022-09-20, version 5.0.4*

No permite compartir con otros sistemas como Drive o carpetas libres para respaldar o competir.  Me da error al cargar en Dropbox no sirve. Pague por nada !

### 5/5 — Great for school/work/play!

*2020-10-28, version 5.0.4*

I love this app. Its great for recording discussions. Its the best I have used. Used it for free for 6 years. Recently paid the $2.99 to support the app.

### 2/5 — No back up

*2020-10-08, version 5.0.4*

Audio quality is good.

All data is lost when you get a new phone. If anyone knows other wise, send me a message.

Not able to send to Dropbox or email.

### 5/5 — Harika

*2020-08-06, version 5.0.4*

Abi harbi harika bir şey olmuş

### 1/5 — Mic no longer working

*2019-09-19, version 5.0.4*

Not happy.   Bought this app ages ago when it was free.  Have heaps of recordings on it.  Now the mic won’t work and the option to turn it on is no longer available unless I assume I pay for the $4.49 latest version?  In which case I will probably lose my older recordings???   Really?   Not a nice thing to do!
