### 3/5 — I’ve used it for years, but it seems tired

*2026-04-04, version 6.1.3*

I’ve used Audio Memos for years and have been generally pleased with it. I do t find the transcripts very useful, as they have more errors in them than a Zoom or Notability transcript. What I wish it had was the option to produce a cleaned up, AI summary of a dictation. I’m currently testing other apps to find this feature

### 2/5 — Didn’t save

*2026-02-16, version 6.1.1*

I recorded a whole interview with one of my son’s teachers, then I renamed it, and then when I went to be done with the renaming, I hit the X and instead of taking me out of the deleted the whole recording

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2026-02-05, version 6.1.0*

I’ve been using this very stable platform for years!!!!   Totally recommend it.  The only problem that I recently had is when I went to play back a recording,  it sounded very slow.  I couldn’t figure out how to fix it.  Would like for that fix be in FAQs.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2026-01-20, version 6.0.0*

I found this app with the ability to transcribe so valuable.  I wish it would do it during a call on the same device but in my case, I have to to put my cell phone in speaker mode and hold it next to my iPad which records it and makes a nice transcription of the entire call, it works very well and gets most of the transcription correct with very little post call modifications needed before it automatically sends a copy to my email..

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-01-18, version 6.0.0*

Love this and how it transcribes my words into content for the work that I do!!

### 5/5 — Great just the way it is...

*2026-01-14, version 6.0.0*

I use this to record memos and send to myself. Good quality for audio work. Simple to use but powerful. I know everybody shares says this... but I don't want it ever to change! I just hope there are enough people like me to keep buying this app - exactly the way it is now - to support the developers without them having to add useless, gimmicky features that other apps have got - all in the name of marketing. This is perfect just the way it is!

### 5/5 — Fantastic

### 5/5 — Really great audio memo - I highly recommend it

*2025-07-17*

I use this audio memo for all my important lessons so I can re listen when ever I need to recap. I keep these lessons for many years and they are always there. Please keep this app going for us. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Meets my needs well

*2025-06-14, version 5.3.6*

Audio Memos has been great tool for my recording needs.

### 5/5 — Capture What’s Important and Listen Again

*2025-06-09, version 5.3.6*

I absolutely love Audio Memos. I record talks, meditation practices, music, invaluable information that I then own for life. I listen again and again with delight and gratitude. I also record sessions I do as a life coach and send them to clients. They can revisit what they learnt and remind themselves of new strategies to transform their lives.
Honestly, Audio Memos is one of my favourite tools. It’s invaluable to me.

### 5/5 — Used it for years

*2025-06-06, version 5.3.6*

As a musician, this is an invaluable tool when I write. I noodle around looking for pattern when I write a song and record while I do it. I never miss a germ of an idea and am always able to develop it.

I’ve used it for years and writing without our it would much harder…

### 2/5 — Recording does not always work

*2025-06-01, version 5.3.5*

Recording doesn’t work

### 5/5 — Recording quality very good

*2025-05-24, version 5.3.5*

I highly recommend this app.  Pros are that the recordings are clear and there is long limit on their duration as long as you have the space.

Transferring the recordings to others can be challenging and a bit quirky.  Quite often it takes several steps to move a recording somewhere so that it can be shared or edited.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2025-05-16, version 5.3.5*

I’ve been using this App for many years and it’s been very reliable and valuable. Thank you.

### 5/5 — My life

*2025-05-08, version 5.3.5*

I enjoy the chance to record when I have a need to. Now days it seems I’m doing it a lot and I’m grateful for that. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus avril 2025 !

*2025-04-19*

26 avril 2013 :
Application toujours aussi excellente, après des années d'utilisation ! 
Bravo ! 

7 juin 2012 :
J'utilise cette application exceptionnelle depuis deux ans, dans un cadre professionnel (conférences, réunions, enregistrements des musiciens et analyse de leur jeu ; je suis musicien professionnel)

21 oct. 2011 : 
Sur iOS 5 Audio Mémos 2, avec toutes les extensions.
L'ajout récent du "Gain" (de la sensibilité du microphone, lors de l'enregistrement, rend encore plus excellente cette application-magnéto de poche ! 
La facilité de sauvegarde (envoyer) par ITunes, ou Dropbox (ou iCloud, pourquoi pas...) est "dans l'air du temps, de la mobilité"

4 Oct 2011 :
J'utilise toujours, sans failles et avec une grande facilité cette application sur mon IPhone 4. Très fréquemment, c'est-à-dire au moins trois fois par semaines, plusieurs heures par semaine. 
Qualité excellente (dûe aussi à la qualité excellente du microphone de l'Iphone)  et multiples options (j'utilise toutes les extensions)
La sauvegarde la plus viable et sûre vers le PC (moi, Windows XP) : 
ITunes => Iphone => onglet Apps => Audio Memo dans la fenêtre basse => "Enregistrer sous..." 

Bravo et merci ! 

25 mars 2010 :
Après la dernière mise à jour, le bug qui empêchait les enregistrements en "haute qualité" (WAWE 44,1kHz) a été corrigé. Ainsi, tenant compte des  nombreuses fonctionnalités complémentaires que les deux versions (AudioMemos - le Dictaphone ET AudioMemos 2 - le Dictaphone) offrent, je pense que ces deux applications sont excellentes. L'apprentissage pas à pas, par "conseils", aide à consolider chaque étape. Celui "en vidéo" est très pédagogique, aussi (je n'ai pas eu le temps de vérifier chaque option, mais les "principales" me semblent opérationnelles)

### 1/5 — If you don’t mind losing your data, this app is for you

*2024-12-25, version 5.3.4*

This app has been so buggy since the beginning and the developers unfortunately fail to fix the bugs. I have been waiting for more than a year now - same crashing bugs I reported to them still present:

- I keep losing audio memos which is incredibly frustrating. I lost so much work because of this app, I feel a fool for continuing to rely on this after the first instance when I recorded a long dictation on my Apple Watch and it simply disappeared. There is a pause button, but I just see it as a “russian roulette button” because if you pause recording and switch apps, you have a 50-50 chance that you will lose the recording you paused.

- recordings on the Apple Watch remain in the “sync in progress” cue forever. I contacted the developers looking for solution and they tried, but failed to fix this. Sync has been broken for well over a year. Every memo you ever recorded remains in a “sync in progress” queue until you delete them manually, one by one. If you get too many, the Watch app gets overwhelmed and won’t sync at all.

I am just writing this review now, after I lost a long dictation, recording my thoughts on my Apple Watch and at one point, the app randomly started a new recording and my long dictation was completely gone. Extremely frustrating and not really hard to solve - just implement autosave every few seconds and this will never happen. The fact that this hasn’t been done in over a year after I first reported it tells me that the developer doesn’t care about users losing their important data, so I’m done with this app. 

It is a beta app at best, and the developer is using you as a guinea pig to discover the fatal flaws of the app - and even then, they still don’t fix them.

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2024-10-02, version 5.3.3*

Recorded a phone call with insurance company and it picked up NOTHING!

### 1/5 — au secours ! la mise à jour ios 18 ne fonctionne pas

*2024-09-20*

malgré 2 réinstallations
« (osstatus erreur-50.) »

### 1/5 — Жадные

*2023-11-27*

Почему за Про опять платить?

### 1/5 — Horribly

*2023-01-08, version 5.1.0*

It use to work perfectly until a few months ago. 
Spent a lot of time trying to fix
Now it’s glitchy and freezes and completely does not work

### 1/5 — Formerly great, now useless.

*2022-08-02, version 5.0.8*

This app was the best and simplest dictation app on the go. However it is now so buggy it is unreal. It routinely starts to record from halfway through an ongoing memo, overwriting and losing stuff already dictated. Eg you dictate 5 mins worth and then go to add more, and it will commence recording from 3 mins into the tape causing data to be lost. Awful and unusable.

### 1/5 — OSStatus-Fehler-50.

*2022-05-30*

Leider funktioniert die App seit 3 Tagen nicht mehr, sie bringt o.g. Fehler.
„Der Vorgang konnte nicht abgeschlossen werden.“
Was ist das Problem ? Es wäre schön, wenn es eine Lösung gäbe.

### 1/5 — Für mich unbrauchbar

*2022-04-26*

Ich habe mir die App gekauft um mein Bluetooth Audio aufzuzeichnen, leider unterstützt die App dies nicht. Somit ist sie für mich unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — The app is good but

*2022-03-02, version 5.0.6*

This app works very well but they put the most basic features behind a paywall.

It’s a joke when selecting multiple items needs a subscription
