Well

Well it’s impossible to read a white typeface on a white background. It’s been like this for years. Fix it please.

The introduction of a “button” to get to the deleted files is a better method than having to shake your phone or if the app doesn’t want to cooperate tapping it on a hard surface.

You can do better it used to be black typeface on a white background.

Все норм👍

👍👍👍

Nothing Special

There’s a perfectly good and free voice recorder already included with your iPhone. Why anyone would bothered to pay to have adverts removed from this second rate app is a mystery.
