If I enable Lockdown Mode and purchase protection, it stops working. If you like keeping your smartphone secure, don’t buy it—it’s a waste of money! ### 1/5 — Bad feedback *2024-11-03, version 6.3.2* I purchased the lifetime license, but every time the application asks me to make the purchase to unlock the unlimited registration. I have security settings active like purchase lock, on my iPhone. I wrote to the developer who hasn't answered for months. Fortunately, there are many other apps for voice adjustment. This is not worth a penny. ### 5/5 — So Amazing *2024-07-08, version 6.3.1* This is absolutely amazing, I can record my voice notes and transcribe all in the same session. Simple Amazing! This is a masterpiece a must have. ### 5/5 — HELP *2023-12-12, version 5.2.1* I need help from technicians of this app. Please can you lead in this? It is very Important thank you for reading this and do please put me in contact with any technician ### 2/5 — Not playing recordings *2023-11-23, version 5.2.1* I like the product’s easy to use mode but I recored few things and some play but other don’t. It shows like 3 minutes but does not play anything. Also, After I listen to certain important recordings, it will not play ever again. It would be very bad if those recordings are requested for a legal case and they are gone. Please can you help with this? ### 1/5 — App won’t remember recording names *2023-03-22, version 5.2.1* You have to “name” the same file about a dozen times before the app will “remember” the file name, which is frustrating and unhelpful. ### 1/5 — Unreliable *2022-05-02* I was trying to record very important meeting call my, but later I found out that there is no recording available to me. I’ll will try something else **Developer response:** We have a Customer Support contact form within the app. Please contact us so we can understand what’s happening and provide a fix. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Could be better *2021-09-21, version 5.1.2* Does the job for me at this point ## Frequently asked questions about Voice Memo Recorder ### What does this app do?
