I cannot change destination. ### 3/5 — Porn ads *2025-12-28, version 13.0* Removed due to forcing porn ads. Wow 2 of ya just lost money. bye weirdest people. ### 1/5 — Auto noise reduction *2025-04-20, version 11.0* Not good for ambient sound or ASMR recording ### 5/5 — Hi-Fi recording *2025-04-16, version 11.0* Perfect for my iPad and its numerous microphones.

Great app. ### 1/5 — Geldgierig *2025-03-31* Digga man muss geld bezahlen um die Aufnahme in Dateien zu speichern ihr kleinen mr krabs ********* digga ich bin nicht mr beast **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für dein Feedback. In der kostenlosen Version unserer App stehen grundlegende Aufnahmefunktionen zur Verfügung. Erweiterte Funktionen wie das Teilen oder Speichern in anderen Apps sind in der Pro-Version enthalten. Die Pro-Version ist ein einmaliger Kauf für die lebenslange Nutzung – es gibt keine Abogebühren. Wenn du Fragen hast oder Hilfe benötigst, melde dich bitte unter support@livebirdtechnologies.com. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Audio Recorder Team ### 5/5 — LEWDRESKY *2025-02-10, version 10.0* Checking this app out.. it’s good to be back w/ liveb ### 5/5 — Decent and *2025-01-09, version 10.0* …what I’m looking for. Had to resort to buying the pro version (which is a reasonable one time charge) which unlocks all features. Only problem is , no noise canceling. At any rate, exceeds my needs and is worth the price. ### 2/5 — Bin nicht überzeugt! *2024-12-15* Die aufnahmen im eigentlichen HD, sind sehr mit Rauschen begleitet, da nimmt, nur um ein Beispiel zu nennen, die Aufnahmefunktion von „WhatsApp“ wesentlich besser auf, und die Möglichkeit einer Nachbearbeitung fehlt nicht einmal schneiden, kürzen oder Pausen zu entfernen ist möglich. Und ich finde das dies zu einer solchen App wie diese hier vorhanden sein muss. Deswegen verzichte ich auf den Kauf. Schade!! **Developer response:** Hallo Ronaldiny, Vielen Dank für Ihr ehrliches Feedback. Es tut uns leid zu hören, dass die Tonqualität und fehlende Nachbearbeitungsfunktionen Ihre Erwartungen nicht erfüllt haben. Die Pro-Version der Audio Recorder App bietet Funktionen wie Zuschneiden, Kürzen und das Konvertieren von Aufnahmen in verschiedene Formate wie MP3 und M4A. Wir schätzen Ihre Anregungen sehr und werden Ihre Vorschläge zur Verbesserung der Rauschunterdrückung und weiterer Bearbeitungsfunktionen in zukünftige Updates einbeziehen. Sollten Sie Fragen oder Hilfe benötigen, können Sie uns gerne unter support@livebirdtechnologies.com kontaktieren.

I lost two hours of an important supervision session. It stopped recording after four minutes. Canceling! ### 1/5 — Can not remove it from my main screen!!! *2026-03-26, version 13.0* I don’t like this app!!! ### 1/5 — Ads? No thanks *2026-03-17, version 13.0* Just downloaded and spent about three minutes in the app to be met with at least three ads that you have to wait to click away. I assume all the good reviews from ten years ago are from when iPhone didn’t have a voice memo utility and/or this app was ad-free for the free version. I never leave reviews but this pushed me over the edge. Deleting immediately. ### 1/5 — Very unsafe for new user *2026-03-15, version 13.0* Hello, I accidentally trimmed an audio recording and pressed Save. The original recording was about 50–60 minutes, but now the file is only 9 minutes 46 seconds. No way to recover the original recording from cache or storage in the app,very unsafe if sudden trim it This recording is very important to me. I would really appreciate if you can help. Thank you. ### 1/5 — LA PEOR DE TODAS *2026-02-15, version 13.0* Tiene anuncios para adultos y no se puede descargar audios siendo gratis. ### 1/5 — Pessima e poi pessima *2025-12-07, version 13.0* Non registra stereo. Siamo quasi nel 2026, solo mono? Sviluppatori datevi ma sveglia!!! ### 1/5 — Downloding costs *2025-11-02* Why does downloading the file cost money isnt that like one of the reasons you got this app **Developer response:** Hello, Marlon, Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, downloading your recording does not need to cost money. In the free version, you can record unlimited audio and transfer your file to a computer using iTunes File Sharing completely free. Here is the official Apple guide: https://support.apple.com/en-in/120403 The Pro version, which is a one-time purchase, only unlocks additional sharing options such as sending files to other apps, email, Dropbox, or iCloud Drive — but basic file transfer is free. If you need help moving your recording without upgrading, feel free to contact us at support@livebirdtechnologies.com and we’ll gladly guide you. Best regards, Audio Recorder Team ### 1/5 — Нельзя сохранить аудио *2025-10-27, version 12.0.1* Записать можно, а сохранить нельзя. Приложение бесполезно по сути. Это как купить телевизор, который нужно оплачивать дополнительно, что бы посмотреть фильм 😂 ### 1/5 — Abbruch bei Aufnahme fortsetzen *2025-10-09* Wenn ich eine Aufnahme fortsetzen möchte bricht die APP ab und stürzt ab beim Mac Mini na prima = von Anfang an Schrott trotz der 8,99 für die Pro Version **Developer response:** Hallo, kissitnet, Es tut uns sehr leid zu hören, dass die App beim Fortsetzen einer Aufnahme auf Ihrem Mac Mini abstürzt. Wir werden dieses Problem prüfen und so schnell wie möglich beheben. Da die App vollständig offline arbeitet und wir nichts aus der Ferne auslesen können, wäre es sehr hilfreich, wenn Sie uns unter support@livebirdtechnologies.com Ihre macOS-Version und Geräteinformationen senden könnten. So können wir die Ursache finden und das Problem schnell lösen. Beste Grüße, Audio Recorder Team ### 1/5 — Autopause doesn’t work *2025-04-24, version 11.0* Paid to get auto -pause, But it doesn’t work ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-07-24* イイよん☝️😉 **Developer response:** こんにちは、 嬉しいレビューをありがとうございます！😊 アプリを気に入っていただけて、とても嬉しいです。これからも快適にご利用いただけるよう改善を続けてまいります。 よろしくお願いいたします。 Audio Recorder Team ### 5/5 — This is really great *2026-07-21, version 13.3* It has all the features I need plus many more I hope to use ! ### 5/5 — I love this but one problem *2026-07-15, version 13.3* Okay my parents are divorced and my mother has been rude to me, has manipulated me, made me not like her, and then plays the sweet mother act when my dad is around. But when he’s not she says all mean things about him and how dirty the house is (when it’s clean) or when the dished are never cleaned (we do them every 3 days). And when I told mom I’m going to start doing the dishes (I choose to my dad isn’t forcing me to do them) she said “great your making him more lazing” and I want a restraining order on her when I am old enough (in 6 years I can file it) but I have a ton of proof I neeed voice recordings so I found this. I have been keeping all my proof in notes with photos of her past abuse and some problems she has I use notes then put a password on that specific note. And I wanted a website that has a build in password for it so my mother nor my older brother (who wants me in trouble all the time) so they can’t get In and destroy everything I have saved (which they would) and then ask me about it ground me for a while so I lose contact with friends etc. this is just what i need I was wondering if there was a way I can block my music from it picking it up without getting the better version. Cause I want to record for every day and get all the proof I can in these 6 years. I play music during the day it lets me it just picks it up. Anyways I love this app so much it’s helping me with my case and what I’m going to do about this. Byeee ### 5/5 — Great Recorder *2026-03-17, version 13.0* When hearing a good talk it’s great to record and listen to it again. ### 5/5 — Top *2025-12-23* Sehr gut **Developer response:** Hallo, vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Ihnen die App gut gefällt. Beste Grüße, Audio Recorder Team ### 5/5 — Muy buen producto!!! *2025-09-20, version 12.0.1* Una chulada… ### 5/5 — 播放声音突然轻了怎么回事啊？ *2025-08-22, version 12.0.1* 请给予指导 ### 5/5 — Testimony of the righteous *2025-07-22, version 12.0.1* Redeemed from darkness ### 5/5 — Good *2025-07-16, version 12.0.1* So far so good ### 5/5 — Great App and great customer service *2025-05-27, version 11.1* I am using this app with confidence at least once a week for meetings. It’s somewhat cumbersome to send to others by email because it’s so large but I’m able to split the recording. They were extremely helpful in helping me recover a meeting recording I had deleted by mistake.
