### 5/5 — The Best

*2026-07-13*

This is by far the best Voice Memo app on iPhone. Simplicity ease of use and reliability have been fantastic for years. 

Unfortunately, it disconnected from my Dropbox account, and I can't seem to reestablish it. I did remove the Dropbox app from my iPhone and reinstall, but it's still not working.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the great review. Keeping RecUp safe and reliable is our key concern.

There was a small change in the way the Dropbox app would authenticate RecUp that has been adopted with the lastest update. 

Feel free to contact us a recup@egetsome.com if any issues remain. We're happy to hear from you and answer all your RecUp questions directly.

### 3/5 — Too basic

*2025-03-25*

No pause button and no playback

### 5/5 — Great app! Reliable and does the job

*2024-09-27*

I have been using this for years and have had no issues and they have very responsive support!

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says

*2024-08-14*

Insane that no other app does something as simple as record straight to Dropbox. Thank you!

### 4/5 — Great app, but last iOS update killed it for me

*2024-03-05*

Running a iPadMini 5. I used it daily until a few days ago, when I upgraded to iOS 17.3.1

### 5/5 — Excellent robust app for capturing ideas when they happen.

*2023-11-26*

I have used this app for years to capture ideas, things to do, tidbits of info, etc. Nothing ever lost. I can then re-organize the entries in this queue into folders and such from a computer if necessary. this app has single-handedly prevented me from losing track of many things.

### 5/5 — Excellent for quick recoding

*2022-05-01*

Fast and simple. Really good.

### 5/5 — Best app for recording

*2022-02-25*

Been using this app for years now. Got it when it was first called DropVox. It is hands down one of the single most important apps I have on my phone. As a songwriter and producer I can’t tell you how much this app has helped in catching some of my most treasured moments!  10/10

### 4/5 — Would be 5 stars ...

*2021-10-07*

If you could choose 320k mp3 quality. Otherwise, this app is perfect.

### 4/5 — Useful but could be even better!

*2021-08-15*

The app for voice recording. Easy to use, backed up to the cloud, does what it says in silence. It would be nice if it had a dedicated pause button. The double tap for pause is hard to do and I end up splitting recordings in error many times. Would have been five stars with that pause button.

**Developer response:** Hey, we actually do support pause and resume (double tap the main button during recording). 

While native Google Drive support is not in the current version, we recommend using a service like IFTTT to move or copy incoming recordings from Dropbox to other storage providers. It's also our recommended path to integrate other services like transcription into your individual workflow as Dropbox is well supported by most workflow services. (Native's still coming, though.).
