OK

### 5/5 — Tolle App

*2020-12-04*

Tolle App - macht genau das, was es verspricht!

### 1/5 — Where’s the save button?

*2020-10-04, version 7.20*

Records easily on my iPhone 11 with good quality sound but there’s no means of saving into my files and therefore it can’t be sent on elsewhere. The only option for sending a file is email and as I’m recording for the local talking newspaper, the files are too big for email.

### 5/5 — Excellent app

*2020-04-26, version 7.20*

Quick download, easy to use and making adjustments are easy as well. I use this app to get Gods word out to the listening area and this allows me to be mobile, at home or in the sanctuary.

### 1/5 — Does not play when downloaded

*2019-06-09*

After downloading the only thing this app was good for was seeing Ads.

**Developer response:** Hi,
We are sorry for the frustration with ads. There should only be a small bar on the bottom for the free version of our app. Were you having difficulty recording or playing back your files? Our support team would be happy to assist you here: https://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html?software=RecordPad

### 5/5 — My GoTo Recorder

*2018-05-09, version 7.01*

I have at least six “recording apps” on my iPhone 8, but it’s RecordPad that I always open when I’m in the field and realize I need to capture some sounds. It’s the fastest app — least delay between opening to actually recording

### 1/5 — Needs more options

*2018-03-31*

I can record sounds ok but cannot send to my email. I don't know what FTP is or how to use it so email is the only option to send and save for me. Without the ability to send by email this is totally useless.

**Developer response:** Hello,
Is the app not correctly sending your file to your email? We will look into this issue if that is the case, as this is the first report we have had that the email option doesn't work correctly. Please reach out to our support team so we can investigate this further: http://www.nch.com.au/support/supportcontact.html?software=RecordPad
