User reviews

Unusable— with I could put 0 stars

I wish I could put zero stars. One, every time I stop a recording, I get kicked out of the app. Two, WHY DOES IT NEED MY LOCATION

Needs manual gain control

It should have an option for manual gain control (meaning with a slider)

1/1/16

It's not good because when I recorded it never had anything there. Also when i tried the app kept freezing up on me and it was frustrating.

Not a good recorder

Tried to record a friends record release show, and it recorded virtually none of it, choppy and random stops, despite showing it was recording the entire time. Throughly disappointed, and never write reviews for anything.

Not bad

Agree with the previous reviewer about the location setting freak outs - that should be fixed. Also would be nice to be able to adjust the level with the meter visible. But does have potential, and I like the simple layout.
