### 2/5 — Barre de gestion d’entrée du niveau sonore

*2021-11-30*

Depuis 1 semaine impossible de me servir correctement de l’application à la fonctionnalité qui la différentie des autres a disparu des différentes version sur mon iPhone 8, soit la barre de gestion d’entrée du niveau sonore. 
Dommage

### 1/5 — geht nix

*2021-07-05*

aufnahme kann nicht angehalten werden

### 1/5 — Don’t use, don’t get, don’t support

*2018-01-07*

Really fricking annoying that it stops at one minute. Don’t use this, the fact that they can’t offer you more than that unless you pay 30$ is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work well without purchasing the whole system

*2017-02-24*

I thought I could use this to record and then either edit in my iPhone or easily transfer to my computer to edit. Not so much. Didn't work with IMovie and the only option to transfer was email or FTP. It would be nice if it worked with Dropbox. Not for me.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2016-08-25*

Not worth the thumb clicks to download

### 1/5 — Zu wenige Funktionen, viel zu teuer

*2016-04-28*

Nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Sehr wenige Share Möglichkeiten und in der Vollversion mit 30 Euro massiv überteuert. Die light Version nimmt nur 1 Minute auf. Habe in der App auch keine Hilfe gefunden und konnte die wenigen Share Möglichkeiten dann nicht einmal nutzen. 

Habe mich statt dessen für eine andere Voice Recording App entschieden, die nur 3 Euro kostet, mehr Einstellungsmöglichkeiten bietet, in höher Qualität speichert (bis 32 bit) und wirklich viele, viele Wege bietet, die Dateien auf andere Geräte zu übertragen. Vergleichen lohnt sich also!

### 4/5 — Pas mal du tout

*2015-10-13*

Simple, ergonomique et efficace pour faire des mémos sonores, enregistrer vite fait un événement…
Ensuite, si on veut améliorer la qualité obtenue, il faut investir dans un micro meilleur que celui inclus dans l'iPhone

### 2/5 — Quite nice, major bugs - at least on 3GS

*2013-11-07*

On my 3GS the recording stops when the phone rings or the screen goes dark. 
Sorry, but this way it is not useful.

### 1/5 — Is this real?

*2013-08-15*

Is this real can people hear it? I don't know I just want it to be just to myself it says 4 and up so why would a 4 year old make a real podcasts why plz respond I need to know

### 3/5 — Sync both ways?

*2012-11-11*

I'm using the Lite version. It works great. I recommend it to anyone needing an easy to use app to record and edit interviews on the go. I will buy the iPhone pro version + the desktop Mac app as soon as it allows me to sync files between apps. Currently I can only export from iPhone to Mac, but not the other way around. This makes the whole thing useless. I just want to be able to record and edit on whatever device I happen to use.
