What's New in Tape It

4.5.3

October 10, 2026

Deleted tapes now go to Recently Deleted, at the bottom of your mixtapes, where you can restore them for 30 days before they're deleted for good. Since you can always bring a tape back, deleting one no longer asks first. Deleting the tape that's playing, in a list or in the tape view, now goes on to the next tape, and skipping back no longer brings the deleted tape back. Voice memos recorded with older iOS versions, which store their recording date differently, are now imported with that date instead of the day they were copied to your phone. Importing several files with the same name, for example dragging them onto Tape It on your Mac, now imports all of them instead of only the first. This update also fixes several rare bugs, among them live updates that could stop after a brief network hiccup until you restarted the app.

Great

I really appreciate the ease to flip the phone out

Get β€œField.” instead

Very good app with absurd pricing: pay a high subscription fee for a gloried voice memos or pay $100 for a one time purchase. Do yourself a favor and just get yourself β€œField. - Field recorder” instead. All the polish and functionality you could ask for (including things Tape It doesn’t have) + you can get the premium version for only $5.99

My new favorite app!

Great app for recording musical ideas and riffs and even demos. Much better than Voice Memos!

Wow great for singers

Wow I’ve been looking for an easy and good quality to record myself singing when I’m out and I feel inspired.
I got it because it has a layer function. My only question… Is there a way to edit a layer afterwards? I would like to be able to see all the layers and edit / clip pieces out that I don’t like. I’m big into harmonizing so I would love to be able to build lots of layers. Thanks!

no-frill functionality!

want to record a guitar take and then add an overdub or several? this app allows you to focus on one thing-performing-as it takes care of waveforms and stacks intuitively (without multiple throughways to distract). great app for those who become listless with larger apps before much recording can be done.
