### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne pas du tout

*2020-12-16*

Impossible de lancer l’Enregistrement . Aucun effet quand je touche le bouton stop. Rien ne s’est enregistré. Heureusement que je l’ai acheté avec 75 % de remise. Je n’ai perdu que 1,09 €

### 5/5 — Good

### 1/5 — No funciona

*2019-06-05, version 3.0*

No funciona sale error, failed to conect to server.
Es un robo por que tampoco solucionan esto 
No lo aconsejo comprar

### 3/5 — Je co zlepsovat

*2019-01-24, version 3.0*

Ja teda z aplikace tak nadsena nejsem. Hodnotim ted anglictinu. Pokud se jedna o ukazkovou vyslovnost v idealnich podminkach, pak ok. Ale v ostatnich 99% pripadu si aplikace moc neporadi a haze mi nesmysly.

### 5/5 — berguna

*2017-11-19, version 3.0*

tolong di update, agar bisa di gunakan untuk text Whatsapp. terima kasih

### 1/5 — Não entende o que foi dito!

*2017-06-02*

O Aplicativo não entende o que foi dito, comprometendo completamente o caráter semântico do texto. Infelizmente o aplicativo é inútil.

### 2/5 — Short recording time

*2017-04-16, version 3.0*

It actually records for about a minute. It should sa in the description that you can only record for about a minute at a time before it automatically clicks off with no warning. Also, when I clicked the copy function, I tried to paste it as a test into a text message or a Note - I could not figure out how to do either. It just says "Use the paste function." That another reason for my rating - there are no clear directions.
