The only thing that works really well is the heavy advertising. ### 1/5 — File corrupted *2014-03-15, version 1.2.5* First attempt to use resulted in message 'error file corrupted' when tried to listed back. Fail! Deleted. ### 1/5 — I agree with the 1st guy *2014-01-29* You can't hear the recordings! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2013-11-09* Records in small files creating long pauses between them and not recording whole conversation. ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2013-10-22, version 1.2.3* Set it up on ipad as instructed but while it said it was recording, it did not. Tried several times but no luck. Probably because of the crappy ios7. Never had so many problems with apps before iOS 7. Someone at Apple should be shot! ### 1/5 — Not so good *2013-08-10* Not very stealthy when the icon is labeled "spy recorder" and anyone can see its a Recorder! Make it a hidden app so it will really be hidden. No secrets here. ### 1/5 — FAUSSE REPRÉSENTATION ! *2013-02-17, version 1.2.0* J'ai acheter cet apps , et c'est faux ont ne peut pas enregistrer les conversation téléphonique avec "enr.pirate" !! Un seul mot , ne pas acheté ! C'est pourri dépenser 1.15$ pour rien. ### 1/5 — Fausse publicité *2012-09-24, version 1.2.0* N'enregistre pas les conversations téléphoniques. Tombe en erreurs, fichier corrompu méchante cochonnerie. J'ai tenté de rejoindre la compagnie mais aucun retours. À NE PAS ACHETER! ### 1/5 — NO !!!!!! *2012-05-20* Dont Buy it !

The record button flashed and you press start it does not show that anything was recorded. It deserves a rating of negative five stars (-5 Stars). ### 1/5 — Waste app *2011-12-31* Don't buy it.

If I could give it no stars I would !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Dead *2017-10-24, version 1.2.6* Like all the other 32bit apps, dead in the water, developer hasn’t touched it for 3 years ### 1/5 — Can be better *2017-05-24* I use the app but the problema is when I get out of the app the file is disrupted, please can yo fix that, if you fix thant your App its gonna be a 5 stars ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2017-03-02* Worked one time then nothing. ### 1/5 — Didn't work *2016-08-07* Didn't work.

On high sensitivity ### 1/5 — Be warned *2016-01-07, version 1.2.6* The app stats up a web dialogue. If you go through with it you will end up being charged regular text message for what appears to be a competition. HORRIBLE APP. ### 1/5 — No sound *2015-07-23, version 1.2.6* I tried this, but when I went to play back, there was no sound ### 1/5 — Hit and miss *2015-05-26, version 1.2.6* At first this app ran well but now it won't record anything, very disappointing hope there's a fix soon. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2015-10-19* This app is so cool it really works I just love it and never want to stop using it!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Joke? *2014-07-18* Lol why did the developer write that warning? Now this app feels fake but I'm tempted to get it still hahah ### 5/5 — Cool *2014-06-30* This is really cool. You should get it. ### 5/5 — Nice *2014-05-23* Like a pro!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-04-03* Lol great app 👍 ### 4/5 — Not true *2016-08-09* It's not illegal if you a good reason to spy ### 3/5 — Pretty cool? *2014-10-07* Haven't used it yet but seems okay ### 2/5 — Customer *2011-11-30* Hope they didn't charge me for this, they didn't ask for a password and there was advertising on the app, anyway, leads u to believe u can record a phone conversation but u can't, just works like a regular recorder, they throw the word ambient in there to confuse u, all it does is record ambient sounds, not phone conversations. So if ur buying it for that.....save ur money. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
