## What is CaptureAudio FREE?

* "Incredibly intuitive recording interface" - Leanna Lofte, iMore.com 
* "CaptureAudio is a fantastic and powerful app for recording voice memos and other audio" - Christine Chan, AppAdvice.com 
* "CaptureAudio Will Make You Shout Its Praises" - Chris Maxcer, MacNewsWorld.com 

CaptureAudio was the ultimate upgrade to your voice memos and recordings.  Now you can do much more, and we encourage you try before you buy with our Free version! 

Introducing CaptureAudio & Notes! Universal support for Audio Recordings with precise time marking using our heralded Flags system, and you are now able to enter typed text notes independent of audio recording.  

Delivering much greater levels of efficiency and productivity when you record important lectures, meetings and other events, CaptureAudio & Notes incorporates a sophisticated marking system to audio recordings. Simple to use, yet very powerful. If you use your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch for recording, you need CaptureAudio & Notes! 

While recording, a simple tap allows you to quickly and easily mark significant points with audio markers called "Flags". There are two standard flag sets for business and education users, with Flags such as "Urgent", “Listen”, “Research”, and "Test Item". If the standard Flags don’t suit your needs, you can create your own custom flag sets with names and icons that make sense to you. During playback, you’ll see the Flag markers and can immediately start playing from those moments of the recording. Jump to the most important information quickly and easily! 

Gone are the days of disorganized recordings and voice memos with your key points buried in the mix. With CaptureAudio, you can Tag your recordings with keywords.  Tag with a client name, particular class or activity... And to added to the great CaptureAudio features, we've added Folders & Nested Folders to keep your recordings organized the way you think. 

Upgrade to our paid version for the ability to sync across multiple devices using Dropbox Sync. Once the Dropbox Sync has been established, CaptureAudio keeps track of the changes and updates multiple devices to keep everything up to date; Audio Recordings, Text Notes, Recording Tags, Custom Flags Sets... all aspects of the sessions are synced between devices. 

Students, Journalists, Project Managers, Home Owners, Physicians…the list goes on! Thousands of users have successfully added CaptureAudio to their productivity suite. With CaptureAudio & Notes, you can stop forgetting and start capturing. It's the voice memo app in a way you've never experienced it before.  Give it a try!

### 1/5 — Same problem

*2016-11-27, version 1.7*

Sounds like a great app...  if only it would work.  After pressing the microphone button it immediately closes!

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work

*2016-10-29, version 1.7*

Downloaded it twice and it doesn't work. When I hit record, it closes.

### 4/5 — Surprisingly good features, reliable

*2014-09-12, version 1.5*

I found this was the only app I could find w/ keywords Voice, Record, Dropbox, Mark.  

Very handy features that are well thought out.  User has to familiarize themselves with the helpful options and support links for a few minutes in order to take advantage of all the tweaks.  Good customizations!   =^) 

Nicely reliable, and the Dropbox backup / sharing works nicely.  Tested w/ use on my iPhone & iPad mini for >2 weeks now.  

=HIGHLY=RECOMMENDED=

### 5/5 — love it
