### 4/5 — Please make a feature

*2022-10-11, version 2.7*

Make the accessible to split screen. I use a communication app on my iPad, and sometimes I want to verbally record something I wrote.

### 5/5 — No nonsense and works on my ageing iPad

*2022-03-30*

Great! There aren't many apps that I can download to my elderly iPad, but this is one. It does exactly what i want it to - record and share - and I really like the meter. I share my memos via Dropbox with no extra charge.

### 5/5 — The best app for recording

*2019-07-27, version 2.7*

Love this app

### 4/5 — Brakuje mi prostej edycji. P

*2019-01-28*

Przycinania troszkę brakuje.

### 5/5 — An awesome app

*2018-10-05*

I love this app, it is amazing ❤️

### 5/5 — Tablet Must Have

*2018-07-25, version 2.6*

WhenI feel inspired to improvise a musical piece or record a thought to revisit, Voice Memos captures while enhancing the moment.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2018-07-08, version 2.6*

Great app, fast and straight forward for quick ideas and reference. Great graphics too!!!!

### 1/5 — It lost a very important audio

*2018-04-06, version 2.6*

I spent 2 1/2 hours recording something that was to be furnished to the police. I pushed the pause button and the next thing I know the entire recording was lost. Why?

### 4/5 — A handy app

*2018-03-12, version 2.6*

It’s a handy app, with a simple interface, and it keeps a seemingly permanent record of your recordings. My one beef is that the slider used to rewind and fast forward recordings is too small, making it difficult to accurately replay certain quotes without listening to previous “tape.”

### 5/5 — Very reliable and steady tool

*2018-02-10, version 2.6*

The tool is very convenient, allowing to record, edit and upload your record to Dropbox or any other cloud based storage. Very recommend.
