Also, it’s not gaining access to my camera. ### 2/5 — Won't upload to Instagram *2016-10-14* Would be nice if I could post on Instagram! ### 1/5 — Why *2016-04-29* I can't upload to YouTube ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Freezes *2025-02-20* Freezes when saving - not good ### 1/5 — Fake app *2023-07-19, version 1.2* Fake app ### 1/5 — Fake app *2023-05-26, version 1.2* This is fake app ### 1/5 — Photo Cropped *2020-07-29* The simplicity of the app is great! The interface is simple and easy to understand. However, the fact that the image is cropped so much when you save it to your camera roll on an iPhone is very disappointing and for me makes it unusable. If the cropping situation is fixed, then it may become a really great app. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow use of Mic!!? *2020-06-06* This app is useless!!!! It denies access to mic👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 1/5 — Not so good *2020-04-20* Very chunky and funky - records but mostly doesn’t let you save it - disappointed and no help ### 1/5 — Junk *2020-04-13* Nao funciona direito! ### 1/5 — Useless *2020-02-29* No easy way to save a photo with the audio. ### 1/5 — Não acessa o microfone *2019-04-06* Não aparece na lista de apps p/ autorizar acesso ao microfone. Ou seja, não funcionou 😢 ### 1/5 — Can’t use it *2019-01-23* It doesn’t allow me to give you permission for the microphone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — File saving on photos option not available *2022-02-24* Hi, I am in use of this app in my iPhone 7, whenever I finish my recording it doesn’t show the savings in iPhone photo app option. So please let me know where should I save? Thanks ### 5/5 — Outstanding app. *2018-03-24* I am a primary school teacher on a mission. To eradicate marking in books but keep students focused. This is NEAR perfect. It just needs ONE feature. As I speak, I’d like a pointer. A simple arrow pointer that I can move around the photo. Nothing else. The pointer is not a button, it only appears if I touch the screen; keeping the number of touches BRILLIANTLY LOW. If I don’t want a pointer, I don’t touch the screen. PLEASE add this feature. Contacting the developer doesn’t seem to work.... feel free to contact me to discuss further! @chrismcgivern on Twitter :) ### 5/5 — Verygood *2016-08-21, version 1.2* This is the best apps to me. Tks producer ### 4/5 — 希望能够改进 *2019-07-18* 软件摄像头和麦克风权限无法开启，出去开会、调研的时候，拍的照片整理起来容易记不住标题，希望改进软件，每拍一张照片都可以录一个短语音。 ### 4/5 — Love it! *2017-11-09* I love the idea but can I use this app on Insta? Tried but not really working... it will be so cool if you can do it ### 4/5 — Jim Keeley *2016-02-04* Very useful, big help for poor sited people. Record all my posts on fb using this app. One negative, need an iPad landscape, then a 5 star. ### 3/5 — How do u save to camera roll? *2022-09-09* 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️it used too. I swear?? ### 3/5 — Crashes after saving *2020-10-15* The app works okay, but each time is save it freezes. Easy enough to close the app reopen to do the next talking photo. I hope they fix this glitch because otherwise it works well ### 3/5 — Please fix bug *2016-09-27* I think this app is very useful and very simple, the biggest problem has been the bug it has. When I import it to Telegram either straight from the app or from my gallery, the recording is all messed up. I hope in the next update this is fixed. I have been postponing writing a review but this has been a problem for months. Thank you. ### 2/5 — Crops the photo *2020-03-24* Very easy to use. But, when exported to camera roll, it crops the top of the photo off... disappointing --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
