Keep shutting down when task is finished

It was perfect at first but recently it kept shutting down when I finished recording a task, quite frustrating as this is a good app, so good that it is used as our assignment work to be submitted, but the malfunction is really killing everybody now.

Very helpful!

This is really cool! You can see the pitch changes that the native speakers have and try to imitate it.
