I lost access to my prior recordings. The new version does not interact with the previous version. This is not an update. It’s a replacement all the files on my old version are no longer available. My first use of the new version was a 19-minute recording. It only plays back the first three minutes and cuts off I attempted to download the file to open it on the older version but no access - directs me update even though it’s already installed on my phone. ### 1/5 — Horrible update *2025-06-06* The update removed all of my recordings and now you have three times as many ads, all of them longer than they ever were. I will be getting rid of this app now. ### 1/5 — Download adds *2025-06-04* Update messed up my recordings and sends me to other recording apps to download. Worthless! ### 1/5 — Upgrade probkem *2025-06-03* Upgrade prevented me fro recording as well as ads ### 1/5 — I hate the ads. *2025-06-01* The ads last too long and waste my time and the new version deleted all my old recordings ### 1/5 — What happened *2025-05-31* Did an update and it deleted my previous recordings Smdh Thanks .. ### 1/5 — Really Disgusted *2025-05-31* Updated to current version and now previously recorded files are not found. No stars. No good. Really disappointed. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — LOST ALL MY RECORDINGS!! *2025-08-27* I lost all my freaking recordings with this update!!! Ridiculous! Recordings I have had for years are just gone! ### 1/5 — Lost everything! Heart breaking! What a rip off! No warning this would happen! *2025-08-26* Stop! Don’t download or you will lose every file you recorded! ### 1/5 — Sooo disappointed *2025-08-18* I lost all my previous recordings. I am beyond upset. I had recorded a journal of all my piano progress since day 1, doctor’s reports, even my deceased husband’s voice. Not happy. Unfair. $@&?@&$ ### 1/5 — Deleted all my recordings *2025-08-18* So so sad that this app required an “update” which just deleted all my recordings and plays ads anytime you’re trying to record. Huge huge downgrade would not recommend. I’m wondering if there will be any way that long time users can get our recordings back too? ### 1/5 — Software is ruined in upgrade *2025-08-11* They’ve ruined this recorder with the new version. Can set repeat on playback and the ads are so aggressive it’s useless. Have to find something new now. ### 1/5 — This is horrible *2025-08-07* I wanted to record an abusive relationship and I had a recording for 47 minutes and it did not save. How am I supposed to get proof of this doesn’t save. I have NEVER had is ISSUES with the old version. Now I need this the most and it doesn’t work ?????? What am I supposed to do now. Can this retrieve my 47 minutes conversation? I sue as heck hope so. Do NOT USE THIS APP! If you need a recording, go to the OLD VERSION!!!!! ### 1/5 — Replacement not an update *2025-08-06* I am very upset with opening up and agreeing to update my recordings. They have been lost totally and I seriously needed them for my work. I wish they would have told us prior to using the update, it would no longer hold onto any previous recordings we had kept on our phones. Very disappointed. If you wish to review your previous recordings, I strongly recommend that you do not use this update. ### 1/5 — Recording erased *2025-06-21* I did not realize that my recording would be erased after 30 days. ### 1/5 — Sorry I ever used the original *2025-06-14* This is not an update, it is a complete replacement. It forced me to upgrade and then would not allow me to access all of the recordings that I had made with the original version. Sorry I ever used the original, and I warn everyone else to avoid this company. Terrible experience!!! ### 1/5 — Do not upgrade *2025-06-12* I was forced to upgrade lost all my recordings, recorded a new one and it wasn’t there. Upgraded to premium still wasn’t there cannot get it to cancel premium today so just paid 39.00 to not have a usable app for a year! Loved this app before not a fan. I had very important recording g a i LOST ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bogus *2025-08-29* It would not let me update it later and I lost all of my voice records.
