"Best New App" - Apple Mic'd is the beautifully simple recording app that was made with the Apple Watch in mind. We cut the clutter so that nothing stands in the way of you and the recording you're about to make. * Record on both iPhone and Apple Watch * Playback on both iPhone and Apple Watch * Use your watch as a remote to control iPhone recording and playback directly from your wrist. * Share your recordings with just a few taps * iCloud automatically backs up your recordings and makes them easy to share Mic'd for iPhone stands alone as a recording gem. With the Apple Watch, the things you can accomplish are limitless. Never again miss the moments in life that matter most. Happy recording. Here's a bit more detail... Mic'd does not need the watch at all. It works just wonderfully on it's own. If you do have a watch, however, then from your wrist, you can tell your iPhone to start and stop recording. Then you can tell your iPhone to playback those recordings. So many fun things to do when using your watch as a remote. But the watch is also a great standalone device. You can record and playback audio without even having your phone around. If you just want to know if your phone is recording or paused, just glance at your watch. Then start or stop it again with a tap. Mic'd supports VoiceOver accessibility. ## Key features - Record on iPhone and Apple Watch - Playback on iPhone and Apple Watch - Apple Watch remote control - Easy sharing - iCloud backup - VoiceOver accessibility ## Recent user reviews (10 of 21) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/micd-beautifully-simple-recording/id985079727/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Please update! *2023-12-02* I have tried many on the go voice recording apps and this one is the best and most intuitive. The design is genius because it makes it super easy to start recording. Most of the other apps have small “record” buttons which is a major problem for me as most of the ideas I record come to me when I’m driving. Mic’d large record button makes it so easy and safe to launch recording while driving. The app recently stopped working and I suspect due to a lack of privacy update. Please update your app! It would be a shame to let it go into oblivion. ### 1/5 — Auto deletes without warning, No Undelete *2019-06-13* Though I love this app, there is a major function fault, and I’ve learned now I cannot trust this app. There have been so many times when I touch the button to stop the recording, it instead it starts a new recording. What’s incredibly depressing is that it completely deletes what I had just been recording! I can’t tell you how many times I recorded something very important only to find out it’s just been deleted. Several times I had very important meetings, thinking I’m happy that I have a verbal recording only to find I have nothing, Murphy’s Law it is always the important times it fails. Last night with family 2 + hours of memories just gone! This app should have a stop button, or something that tells you it’s going to start a new recording before it just trashed what you had been recording, or at least ‘auto’ place that recording that it just stopped into a file where you can choose to delete it, unfortunately it does not have this. Because I’ve lost so many important conversations is the reason I give 1 star. ### 4/5 — Incredible watch integration *2018-06-15, version 3.0* This app does something all others do not: let's you initiate recording on iPhone but from your Apple Watch. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because supports seems to be non existant and playing back audio recordings done on external mic doesn't sound right. Their website site also does not work and is out dated, and in-app email does not work. Other than that; it's an incredibly useful app that is beautiful in its simplicity. ### 1/5 — Dumb design *2018-04-17* So, you record something important....then try to save it AS IS,...swipe up, swipe down, swipe left, swipe right,...diagonally, push the screen and hold, etc. etc. etc. etc. and the only thing that ends up happening is you end up pushing the red mic again and it starts recording again. Put a simple file folder or SOMETHING to save it and have it reset to record again. I deleted and had to find something else. I know it’s supposed to be simple, but you made it too simple. Remember,...function over form.... ### 5/5 — Support these folks, perfect recording app. *2017-11-20* Beautiful UI, simplistic and accurately functioning. Exactly what I needed as a backup to my standalone recorder, and much more accesible in terms of reviewing files. ### 5/5 — Great app, but more accessibility needs to be improved. *2017-10-19* I am absolutely loving this app and it’s update. However, accessibility needs to be improved. For example, the Watch companion app only says button, instead of record button. Also, the two buttons to select between phone or watch needs to be labeled as phone button selected or watch button selected. That’s just an example of some of the improvements that need to be addressed in future app updates. Overall, nice job and keep up the good work. ### 1/5 — Great idea terrible execution *2017-10-17* I just finished a 2 hour interview with a very important person to my project only to find out that because I opened another app to write a number down, the entire interview was not just stopped, but it was not even saved!!! I mean seriously you had one job and it was incapable to fulfilling it. Thank God someone else recorded with the regular iPhone mic app. Completely unacceptable until you fix this problem ### 4/5 — A must have app *2017-07-14* Best app I've found for recording, esp on ipad and record iphone conversations rather than writing notes on paper 5 stars if editing of title didn't get removed after closing app ### 5/5 — Simple *2017-06-18* Does what you want and easy to use. I love the start recording on app launch ### 5/5 — A must have! *2017-05-22* The super stealth Apple Watch integration puts this recorder ahead of the pack! It is a must have for anyone needing quick access to record audio, dialog, conversation, etc... WELL DONE DEVELOPER!!! ## Frequently asked questions about Mic'd ### What does Mic'd do?
