### 5/5 — The best recorder app for Apple Watch

*2023-09-21*

It would be nice if the app had a complication compatible with the Extra Large watchface. I would also like the app to have a less flashy and more discreet interface on the Apple Watch, or that at least the start and end recording button was not so large and was of a more neutral color.
