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 ### 3/5 — 打開App速度越來越慢 *2024-10-02, version 3.1.4* 打開App速度越來越慢，同時使用其他網頁就跳走，要再重新登入APp ### 2/5 — Resource intensive *2024-09-26* Found it to drain my battery on iPad. iPad goes hot when I use it. Went back to my original AudioNote. battery life is normal again ### 2/5 — Do better *2024-02-01, version 3.1.4* I really want to like this app but it’s so laggy and unreliable it’s turned into a added stress while trying to take notes during a lecture. Not worth it. ### 4/5 — How much does it cost for premium, no where does it say? *2023-04-05, version 2.3.3* I can’t find it out! What does it cost? ### 1/5 — Many glitches *2023-01-25, version 2.3.3* This app has had so many difficulties and glitches, I do not recommend it at all. I even paid for the upgraded version thinking some of the issues would be ironed out but they were not. It is not user friendly and often gets frozen or stuck as I’m trying to export/edit files. Awful. ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing lately *2022-11-02, version 2.3.2* I love this app, but here lately it is really really buggy and freezes up. Come on! I use this for work. Get it working right. ### 4/5 — Muy buena *2022-09-27, version 2.3.2* Excelente aplicación para grabar y hacer notas y dibujos ### 1/5 — Update not available for ios16 *2022-09-20, version 2.3.1* I am very happy with the app in general but ever since ios16 I can’t access anything or use the app at all. Please release a new update! ### 2/5 — Update required *2022-09-20, version 2.3.1* Please update for iOS 16… cannot access all my notes ### 4/5 — Problem using audionote *2022-09-19, version 2.3.1* Please help, I’ve problem to open file & play file after upgrade to ios16 ### 3/5 — Please update to IOS16. *2022-09-13, version 2.3.1* Please update the app for IOS16, all my file’s cannot open ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AudioNotes 2 Not Working *2026-07-29* I have use the original AudioNotes for years quit successfully. 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Horrible Customer Support *2025-01-23, version 3.1.4* This app used to work GREAT, now all of a sudden it has quit working proberly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app and still doesn’t help. I have emailed them several times and no response at all!!!! If I could give a 0 STAR I WOULD!!!!! ### 1/5 — ยังมีใครดูแลแอปนี้รึเปล่า *2024-12-27, version 3.1.4* ชำระรายเดือนแล้ว แต่ยังมีโฆษณาอยู่ บางรายการใช้ไม่ได้ “Error unknown error occurred” ### 1/5 — Files disappearing *2024-10-06, version 3.1.4* It’s unfortunate my files keep disappearing. I’m disappointed. ### 1/5 — Only if you love ads *2023-02-10, version 2.3.3* Beware if you upgrade to this it will continuously flash ads and distract you from note taking. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-06-27, version 3.1.4* I use for memory anything ### 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. ### 5/5 — The Best *2025-02-04* For me, this app is the best because it records and take notes. You can have this on your phone and if you want to record anything, you just push the button, you can also listen to it and erase whatever you want make changes. I’ve had this for many years and I can’t explain to you all that it does, but it is a good app and if you see five stars anywhere else believe it. I have never had any problems with it ,true statement. ### 5/5 — Speech to txt is great *2023-11-16, version 3.1.2* This app is very easy to use and the speech to txt feature is great. The fact that the audio never leaves your device is a great privacy feature. ### 5/5 — Excelente aplicación *2023-11-02, version 3.0.0* Que s una Mara y aplicación, práctica, sencilla y eficaz, muy recomendable ### 5/5 — Very flexible *2023-02-17* AudioNote can do a lot of things. I keep using it and improving my approach. I use for construction sales calls, pictures, notes and voice recordings that are easy to go back and review. I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Audio Note toplantı sonrası verimlilik için harika *2023-02-04, version 2.3.3* Bütün toplantılarımı kaydetmeye başladım• özellikle hatırlamam gereken noktaları işaretlemek için harika. Deşifre veya altyazı yazılımları ile entegre olduğunda vazgeçilmez olacağını düşünüyorum. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2022-06-05* Ótimo aplicativo.! Recomendo . ### 5/5 — Very good voice recording app *2021-08-21, version 2.3.1* I thought I had already left a review. But overall it is a very good voice recording app, I would have to do research to find out if there is one that’s better. They could make improvements on the trim feature and it would be nice to have one button to re-download all of my voice recordings because when it did a reset and update on the app I now have to have Wi-Fi to download a lot of my voice recordings to add stuff to them. I accidentally deleted hours of study on second Samuel because I misunderstood the trim feature and there was no way in the world to get it back. Hours of research and personal Bible study and quite time down the drain because I misunderstood the trim feature. But anyway very good app and I use it every single day. I use it to record my thoughts and ideas and stuff I would like to do one day… --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
