Recently I installed AudioNotes 2. Today I went to open a previously recorded file first received a message “unable to create a document” and and AudioNotes crashed. So I tried opening the file from Finder. AudioNotes crashed and the file disappeared from my computer. Stupid me did this two more times with the same results. I now lost three files, one is irreplaceable. I have tried reinstalling AudioNotes 2. When I try to run it, I get the same message “unable to create a document” and the app crashes. My M1 MacBook Pro I running iOS 26.5.2. ### 5/5 — Overall Great App Review but still problems *2025-11-23* I have never personally left a bad review. When the app works, it is a great app. I have tried to get through to someone with emphasis and persistently that it takes a very long time to open the app, about a minute and a half. No other app takes this long. It means you cannot access anything else on your phone while waiting for it to come up as it takes up the whole screen. And this is a long time to wait when you have thoughts fresh on your mind. I always have to write down my thought to remind me what to put in the voice recorder in case it malfunctions as it sometimes does. Now at present currently it is having major malfunctions. It rarely at this point even completes loading to open up. Did the owner try to cancel my subscription for bringing these problems up? I’m just trying to get it to work. If you are from the midwest and thought I was rude, truly this is not my intention. If someone could please call me to try to resolve this, I would appreciate it, it now malfunctions all the time and at least need to get it to work. I’m a very friendly guy. thx ### 1/5 — No longer good *2025-11-11, version 3.1.4* This used to be really great, but now it no longer transcribes correctly. ### 1/5 — Transcription is horrible *2025-09-13* The Audio Note App feature in the voice recorder does not accurately transcribe my notes, achieving only about 30% to 50% accuracy. I have used it for six classes, and the transcriptions are useless. In contrast, I have used the Voice Memo app on my Apple device, providing about 80% to 90% accuracy in transcriptions. The Voice Memo app is included with the Apple iPhone, so there’s no need to spend extra money. The only valuable part of this app is that you can purchase version one, which allows you to relisten to where you took the notes if you need to, and fix a part of your note that was written not as expected. ### 4/5 — Very useful *2025-08-03, version 3.1.4* Good for learning language (listening to Mp3 - conversation and browse the text content at the same time). Also it can insert image ,which is useful for listening song and see the lyric (in image format )at the same time. The transcription feature is very poor - very slow in speed ( Japanese speech to Japanese text). Better if the position of play / pause button is easy to access for ipad user ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-06-27, version 3.1.4* I use for memory anything ### 1/5 — IS THIS A CON? *2025-06-19* Messaged this compamy TWICE. 19 June 2025. I messaged you few days ago. NOT had a reply. Installed your app. Paid £8.99 for year upgrade. I get error or ready for use app. Functions still locked and adverts still displayed. CAN YOU FIX THIS OR REFUND MY MONEY. ### 1/5 — Nefasta *2025-06-08, version 3.1.4* La 1a versión la utilice desde el 2015 en mis estudios y quitaron esa versión y para poder guardar esos archivos ahora debo pagar mensualmente con AudioNota 2, si no no puedo recuperar mis archivos en mi computadora, BUSQUEN OTRA APP ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing and Files Disappear. Lost Data *2025-04-29* Opens a file and it disappears. App keeps crashing. I have lost several data files. ### 5/5 — Easy to use advanced features *2025-03-11* After trying to find a good audio recording app that could allow the user to write in notes and have multiple recordings within each note, this was the one that does it the best. ## Frequently asked questions about AudioNote 2 ### What is AudioNote 2?
