## Most critical reviews (6 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Unusable— with I could put 0 stars

*2018-11-27*

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

### 1/5 — 1/1/16

*2016-01-02*

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.

### 1/5 — Not a good recorder

*2015-10-03*

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.

### 3/5 — Needs manual gain control

*2016-07-05*

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

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2014-10-17*

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.

### 3/5 — Needs fixing

*2014-09-01*

App has promise. However it freaks out unless you give it location access. You can turn off using location in app settings but it still freaks out with multiple useless dialog warnings. Annoying and hurts usability.
