Can only play back last recordings. Also on the iPhone the text file name it saves under and instructions are in Russian. Needs to be fixed and ability to access recording else it is not a standalone app ### 1/5 — English please!!!!! *2017-11-01, version 1.6* Why is it not in English anymore? ### 2/5 — App is in Russian *2017-10-23, version 1.6* I’ll change to 4star if this app changes to English. I can’t share or identify recordings in Russian. ### 5/5 — Review *2017-10-21, version 1.6* Awesome app!!!! ### 1/5 — Foreign *2017-10-17, version 1.6* Last update it’s not in ENGLISH please alter it to English ASAP ### 1/5 — Not In English!?!? *2017-10-17, version 1.6* I can’t read Russian! ### 5/5 — Great app for recording *2017-10-14, version 1.5* Best app ever ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Steve Nadel’s rating *2022-02-22, version 2.1.1* Wonderful except I haven’t found the way to name the files I’ve created. ### 1/5 — Jackie *2021-08-12, version 1.9.2* I don’t know why but this fast recorder doesn’t let me record I have try everything on my end like see if it needs an update, erase the application, reinstalled it again, I paid to have unlimited recording and it doesn’t work for me. I have sent emails looking for help no answer either it’s weird ### 1/5 — Stopped working with Watch 3 *2021-06-02, version 1.8* I suppose it’s the start of the rocky road wrt app support for AW3 but they really should have mentioned that it won’t update via my iPhone ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-08-21, version 1.7.6* Watch app extension just closes immediately after you open it. Pointless. Don't waste your money. ### 1/5 — Complete junk *2019-08-19, version 1.7.6* Used to work great, then one app update and it just crashed right after opening the app, latest update, now it starts to record and then crashes. This is the paid version. Rip off, scam, whatever you want to call it. This has been going on for months now. ### 1/5 — IS THIS APP A CLICKBAIT??? *2019-06-20, version 1.7.6* THE SHARE OPTION IS NOT WORKING ON THE FREE VERSION, IT ONLY SHARE THE APP, NOT THE FILE! IS THIS APP A CLICKBAIT??? ### 1/5 — Can’t use in iWatch! *2018-11-07, version 1.7.3* Description says you can use it from your watch! Not true! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-21, version 1.7.2* Looks like recording but when gets to playback, no recording at all. ### 1/5 — Do not buy *2017-11-27, version 1.6.1* Just downloaded it for my new Apple Watch series 1 and it is not opening at all. ### 1/5 — No menu Language Options *2017-11-16, version 1.6* After spending a great deal of time reading updates/versions and reviews I decided this has features I've been looking for. Unfortunately, it is useless since I can not understand the language nor customize it's features. Let me know when this has been updated to Engish and I'll change rating. (I was unable to locate info. on how it records. Such as: the camera feature on watch takes pictures from phone NOT watch. Does this record from phone or watch?) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice this help a lot *2024-08-18* Happy to have this ### 5/5 — Shortcut for Quick Recording *2023-02-18, version 2.3.1* Will allow you to say hey siri, listen, and it’ll start recording so you if you knew voice evidence this can come in real handy when you need to be quick. ### 5/5 — Fast Recorder *2020-09-19, version 1.7.6* It’s not showing my text so can’t see what I’m writing. Like it a lot but hard to check menu? Recordings are great! Thanks. ### 5/5 — Excellent Apo *2020-06-25, version 1.7.6* Brilliant does the job nicely. ### 5/5 — Great recorder *2020-04-13, version 1.7.6* Thank you, it’s a great recorder, very clear and good quality recorder, would definitely recommend to anyone, I enjoyed using it. ### 5/5 — Highly Sensitive *2020-02-05, version 1.7.6* It pickup the smallest sounds clearly, even in noisy areas. ### 5/5 — Thank you *2019-11-05, version 1.7.6* I am not sure how to do it without hurting the way to get the latest in a very strong enough time. ### 5/5 — Nice *2019-02-01, version 1.7.4* It works good with my Iwatch ### 5/5 — It works. *2018-11-15, version 1.7.3* It works for my purpose. Even though there isn’t a lot of bells and whistles. Thanks ### 5/5 — First impression... don’t work! Ok kinda works *2018-11-04, version 1.7.3* Update Developer corrected the issue and contacted me. App now works well. Update increased rating to 3 stars Works ok on my the watch But won’t record on iPhone unless I turn on speech recognition. See update above Keeps taking me to settings to allow it to use microphone when I try to record. Even though it’s already set to allow. Can’t get past this to even test recording. Maybe I’m doing something wrong but that’s still crap if it’s that easy to screw up. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
