### 1/5 — Does not record from device

*2025-12-09*

The app description says it will record from the device it’s running on but it doesn’t work.  If you start the music and then switch to the app to record it stops the music.  If you hit record before starting the music and then switch to the music and hit play, the app freezes and has to be closed.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. Currently the App is built to record external audio, not audio that is playing on the device itself. I'll look into this.
