### 1/5 — No file transfer

*2026-01-15, version 3.2.0*

There is a product manager or a business exec somewhere in Japan that has a very strange idea about what mobile app should be able to accomplish.

### 1/5 — 不能传输文件

*2025-06-15*

真是鸡肋的软件

### 3/5 — Half an app, need play as well

*2022-10-09, version 3.2.0*

This app is useful for starting and ending recordings, and also changing recording settings.  But one cannot then play back the recording, or browse recordings.  Whether taking dictation, or doing an interview, that greatly limits the utility of the app.

### 3/5 — Make an iPad version please

*2022-07-30, version 3.2.0*

We need an iPad version, thank you.

### 5/5 — 建议增加监听，录音回放，发送录音文件的功能

*2021-02-20*

建议增加App里面监听，录音文件回放，录音文件可以无线发送至手机的功能

### 3/5 — 至急バージョンアップ求む

*2020-11-22*

iOSが14になって、録音がリモートで出来ず、手間が増えて困ってます。今日明日にもバージョンアップお願いします！

### 2/5 — なぜ再生できない

*2020-08-29*

録音の開始と停止だけって、音質悪くても
再生も聞けるべきでしょ

### 3/5 — 建议增加文件传输功能

*2020-02-29*

其他都还可以，主要是希望app能够传文件。会方便很多

### 3/5 — 建议增加文件传输功能

*2019-11-30*

基本的录音控制功能都有了，但是缺少文件传输功能，如果可以把录音棒里已经录好的音频文件通过此软件传输到手机或ipad上就更加方便了！

### 3/5 — アップルウォッチ

*2019-11-21*

やはり手元、アップルウォッチで操作したいですねー
