### 5/5 — Listening to PDFs is sick!

*2025-12-26*

I crush my homework with this app!

### 1/5 — Remarkably disappointing

*2015-06-23*

I downloaded this app with the intent of recording a podcast with a friend of mine.  The description boasted unlimited recording time and the ability to upload files to Dropbox so it felt like a good fit for what I needed.  We recorded a couple episodes, both upwards of 2 hours but noticed that it wasn't uploading the files to Dropbox.  After trying several times with no success I tried converting one of the files to an MP3 format to reduce file size.  Everything seemed to work fine until I played back the new MP3 version and realized it had cut down a 140 minute audio file down to just the first 34 seconds.  And of course, converting the file overwrites the previous version so the app essentially deleted over 2 hours of recording.  I'm just glad I didn't try to convert the other recording otherwise we might have lost both.  However, without Dropbox, there's no other clear way to get the files off of the app so it may as well be lost anyway.  Overall, a highly upsetting experience.  I do not plan on using this app ever again.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-12-21*

Fortunately I have a wonderful possibility to record everything I need without any problems. As a journalist, I really appreciate such apps.

### 3/5 — ***

*2014-12-20*

Everything works fine but sometimes text and sounds on a record are difficult to distinguish.

### 4/5 — Very convenient

*2014-12-19*

This is just a perfect tool for recording something (I often use it at work while conferences and discussions). A simple, minimalistic but pleasant and understandable interface, no crashes... Well, it's really nice.

### 5/5 — Good app!

I use this app for school. Whenever my professor speaks too fast, I record him and label the lectures.

### 5/5 — Very useful!

*2014-12-19*

This app is very very useful. The audios have amazing quality, very clear. There are a lot of functions and the design is nice. I like it very much!

### 5/5 — 5st

*2014-12-19*

I've been looking for this app for a long time and i was happy to be bumped into this application. Simple in use, really helpful functions. Generally good

### 5/5 — Simply the most practical app in the App Store!

*2014-12-18*

The recordings are clean and clear even in environments where the discussions are low or distant. I use this recorder primarily for interviews and interrogations. I have recorded interviews that were over four hours with no issues whatsoever. Well organized program, if you need to download the material with your phone. It never made problem,this is simply and easily
