User reviews

Use it all the time

What you are actually buying with this app is a workflow; getting recordings onto your arrangement has never been easier. I never realized how much of a pain iCloud really was. I have so many recordings that just never ended up in my music because getting recordings… Or anything honestly, was just, easily forgotten and or lost in iCloud.

The only additions I would love to see is a mini audio editor. Being able to crop and version a sound would be clutch.

Honestly if the dev of this app and the dev of audiothing’s recorder app teamed up it would literally be the most perfect app. I wish I had the ease of use of this app, and the functionality of the audiothing joint.

Anyway, great job dev! And download this thang if you’re reading this.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review and I'm glad you are enjoying the app! I just released a new update that lets you quickly rename and listen back to what you just recorded that I hope you enjoy (I know I do when I use the app myself). I have plans for cropping in a non-destructive way but it requires some changes on the way the audio is stored in iCloud. That's why I'm adding update notices in iOS/macOS so that if an audio is made with a newer version, it asks you to update. Not to get too technical, but I want to make sure all works properly before trimming and cropping is launched. Thanks again! And never hesitate to send me an email if you have any issues or suggestions!

Nooo please!!!!

The app can not adjust the gain with my rode mic and it should be fixed!

Response from developer

Sorry for the frustration, and thanks for reporting it. On iOS, an app can only adjust input gain when the microphone exposes software gain control. Many RØDE models handle the level on the mic, receiver, or through RØDE Central instead. Email me the exact model and how it's connected at hello@wasabi.cat, and I'll check whether Drop can support it. UPDATE: With the version 2.2.0 I just released you can now change the levels when using external gear. Let me know how it goes!

Simple. In just the right ways

This app is a true gem. I decided to give it a try and I’m so glad I did. Pro was a no brainer upgrade. Excellent product from an excellent developer!

Lightweight, private, easy

This app is such a great tool to capture and bounce your noodling, jams, or impromptu recordings. It stores files securely and privately and the best part…. NO SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES!

Finally!

I always have my phone on me so this is how I capture many of my samples, ideas, etc. This app has become my go to recorder as it easily bridges quick capture to immediately available for further production.
