### 1/5 — By Worst worst

*2026-04-07*

Very worst, it never record and it never hide just a fake one

**Developer response:** Make sure you enable the all permissions for this app to record audio.

### 1/5 — Please help

*2024-11-26*

Please help. My app is not allowing me to audio that was previously recorded. I have restarted the phone and tried for months. I really need the audio that was recorded but when I press the button it does not open anything. Please update this glitch 🙏

**Developer response:** For the best option to recover this file, please connect your device to Mac/PC via a usb cable and check the File Sharing from this app. There is an instruction in the in-app How to Use, then tap on Menu icon on the top right, then select USB File Sharing.

### 1/5 — Не соответствует заявленному функционалу.

*2024-04-12*

В описании указано, что запись можно вести без индикации этого процесса. Однако даже с использованием фона горит оранжевый индикатор использования микрофона справа вверху, а если свернуть приложение, загорается индикатор вокруг часов слева вверху.
Функционал не соответствует описанию и вводит в заблуждение. Считаю это обманом покупателя. Это становится ясно только после покупки приложения.

**Developer response:** GOOGLE TRANSLATE:
Есть инструкция, которая позволяет сделать оранжевый индикатор намного менее заметным. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами по электронной почте разработчика в представлении «О программе».

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2023-10-11*

App doesn’t allow access to recordings

**Developer response:** If you did not allow Microphone permission when the app first launched, please go to iOS Settings app, scroll down and select SPV, then turn on Microphone switch.

### 1/5 — HELP!

*2023-04-17*

Please. Where can I find support for this app??  I’ve forgotten my code. It’s not in my key chain anymore.  I can find no way to get help.

**Developer response:** Please contact us via our developer email: "iandroidphone@gmail.com", we can provide you faster support.

### 5/5 — Private recording

*2022-09-13*

This app saved my life in a few different ways, the ease of using it and the quality of the recordings are amazing.

### 2/5 — Not able to access my files and can’t get help!

*2022-05-14*

The app had been great and I had several important files saved. Now, I can use app but can’t access any of my files. So distressed and I can’t get help!

**Developer response:** If you need support about this app, please contact us via developer email in the about app section.

### 5/5 — Apple Watch control distance

*2022-03-30*

How far away can your Apple Watch be in order to control the phone?

**Developer response:** Normally, Apple Watch is connected via bluetooth.
So, its range should be around 30ft.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2021-10-18*

Thank you for your spv recorder.
I want to repair that spv continues to record even if timer ring

### 3/5 — Not reliable

*2021-07-01*

Larger files don’t save correctly and cannot be played back. Very disappointed.

**Developer response:** If any files cannot be played, please copy it to Mac/PC via iTunes File Sharing, and test them on Mac/PC.
