Please fix “repeat bug” ASAP

I have been treasuring this app for 3 years. It has been working perfectly with no bugs across different iOS so far. After upgrading to iOS 27 today (10/19/26), the “repeat” function fails steadily. Hundreds of professional musician colleagues and I rely on this daily as the BEST recording app, and have praised it widely on social media. Please prioritize a fix ASAP.

Thank you also for reaching out via email. As we have already discussed, the issue where errors could occur during a repeat operation has been fixed in version 2.9.1. I hope you continue to find this app useful.

Stereo but compressed

It’s great but why is there no uncompressed stereo? Is it iOS limitation? I would love to have that feature. Thanks

Excellent App

This is a great app that is much more flexible than the native iPhone's "voice memos" app. It allows much better background recording (without other apps interrupting it) and free selection of which microphones to use, stereo vs mono, etc.

The one disadvantage is that there doesn't appear to be a way to integrate with iCloud, over time, with many years of using this app to record longer recordings, it ends up using a lot of my phone storage. I could now manually transfer the years of recording over to Voice Memos and delete them from this app, but that is a laborious process, and one that would mess up the dates on the recordings, as the new files would be appear to have been created at the date of import, not the original date.

In conclusion, this app is great and I recommend it to anyone, but any users should keep an eye on how much storage they are using up, especially if using it for long recordings.

I am not yet sure how I am going to get around this, because I don't want to just back them all up on an external hard drive somewhere where they will languish and be forgotten about.

Any tips from the Devs more than welcome! And I would happily pay for a version of the app with iCloud integration, if it became available.

Still 5* because I have happily used this app for years.

Thank you for your comment. You can save a recording to iCloud Drive by swiping left on it and selecting “iCloud.” You can then find it in the “AudioRecorder” folder in the Files app. Could you please check? Best regards.

Works for me

This thing works great

Disable background app refresh!!

When you stop recording, you have to press two separate buttons. The first one acts as a pause for a recording session (allowing it to be resumed it at a later time) and the second one is what completes the file saving. If you only do the first of these and forget to press the second, your phone screen might dim and trigger a background refresh. This will CORRUPT your voice memo and make it unplayable! Don’t make the mistake I did; disable that setting for this app!! I had this happen to me recently and it bummed me out.

EDIT: This just seems so convoluted. Guess it wasn’t so much the app refresh and hinges around the screen automatically dimming. I’ve had no issues with the app until this glitch and I’ve otherwise been happy with it.

Thank you for your comment. Please check that “Auto-Lock OFF” is enabled in the app settings. Normally, simply having the screen turn off should not cause a recording to become corrupted. If this happens again, please let us know the steps that led to it. I’ll investigate and see what we can do. Best regards,

FAQ

What kind of audio files can this app record?

This app supports recording in WAV and M4A file formats. For WAV, you can choose bit depths of 16, 24, or 32 bits, and sampling rates from 8 to 192 kHz. For M4A, it supports sampling rates of 44.1 or 48 kHz, with bit rates ranging from 64 to 320 kbps.

Does the app support stereo recording?

Yes, the app supports stereo recording using the built-in microphone (Front/Back), though this feature has model restrictions on iOS 14 and later. If your model does not support stereo, the same sound will be recorded on both Lch and Rch.

Are there any in-app purchases required to use all features?

Yes, certain advanced playback features require in-app purchases. Specifically, the setting of pitch (± 1 octave) and the 10-band equalizer are unlocked via in-app purchases.

Can I edit recordings after they are made?

Yes, the app allows for trimming of recording files directly on the playback screen. The trimmed files will reflect any applied settings from the 'Speed/Pitch' or 'Varispeed' functions, as well as the equalizer settings.

Is call recording supported by this app?

No, call recording is not supported by this application. The app is designed for general audio recording purposes such as meetings, music, or voice memos, but not for capturing phone conversations.
