Just a simple trim function that would help refine the timing of when it loops back onto itself ### 3/5 — No upload *2026-03-23, version 2022.9.1* The sleep timer is great and the main reason I wanted this. It’s very simple and you can only use this app to record something you might want to play on loop later. There’s no way to edit/ trim the recording. Would be more useful if there was a way to upload recordings done in a different app. I recorded a video of my instructor performing a chant and then was hoping to use this app to just put the audio on loop so I could memorize. But there’s no easy way to do that. ### 3/5 — Not the best recording app *2026-03-22, version 2022.9.1* Accidentally deleted a recording and can’t get it back.. ugh ### 4/5 — great for creating subliminals *2026-03-12, version 2022.9.1* obviously i have been using this app for subliminals, it's been like two days since i started using it and it amazing (yes it helps with affirmations). my only complaint is that you cannot edit the recording/audio itself after recording it, nor can you pause it without ending the recording completely. despite that it works pretty well (yes i am seeing instant results 🫰) ### 5/5 — I LOVE LOVE THIS💙💕🩵💙🙏🏾👌🏾🙏🏾🌹💙🩵💙!!!!! *2026-02-24, version 2022.9.1* I love that it has an automatic loop setting and I also love the audio quality and that it was soooooo easy to begin using it from the very start!!! I appreciate soooooo much that I can do my own affirmations with my own voice and set it on loop to saturate my subconscious mind ; you can reprogram your mind ♥️ in a very beneficial way; much appreciation to the Creator of this app and alll those who helped to create it and great thanks to Dom the Hypnotist for recommending this beyond awesome generous app!!!!!

Makes it completely useless to me. ### 1/5 — It not good *2025-01-30, version 2022.9.1* Disappointing Experience with Parrot App Unfortunately, I've encountered significant issues with the Parrot app. The app fails to function when my screen is off, which defeats its purpose. Furthermore, there's no option to restart recordings, making it inconvenient to use. Due to these limitations, I've decided to delete the app. Until these issues are addressed, I wouldn't recommend Parrot to others. Rating: 1/5 stars ### 1/5 — Does not loop *2024-12-11, version 2022.9.1* This app does not loop your recordings. ### 1/5 — Do not depend upon this! *2024-08-26, version 2022.9.1* I had a few recording that I currently needed. I switched from an iPhone 12 to a 13 and my recordings are gone from both phones!! ### 1/5 — No more working on locked screen *2023-09-26, version 2022.9.1* Why do you change something good?
