By Pressing index you can play back recording to important sections that are indexed by using a bookmark feature. ### 4/5 — Sam cockrell *2023-05-29, version 4.6* Very great writting tool I love the voice memo a future thought might be to make the memos capable of multi timbral ability to record multiable ideal example 4 per memo ### 3/5 — Sorry that did latest update *2021-07-03, version 3.8* Now all of a sudden instead of static ads - have video ads using my data for which they get paid. Update said was to fix bugs- but this was the change experienced instead ### 4/5 — Good app *2021-06-11, version 3.8* Been using it for years!! ### 5/5 — Forwarding *2021-02-23, version 3.6* If your title has an apostrophe or such , it won’t email. Change the title eliminating it. ### 2/5 — Stop *2021-02-18, version 3.5* The lousy pop-ups you throw at people on this site are ridiculous that’s why I give you one or two stars. Terrible ### 4/5 — Sam cockrell *2020-10-24, version 3.4* Very great writting tool I love the voice memo a future thought might be to make the memos capable of multi timbral ability to record multiable ideal example 4 per memo ### 5/5 — Good effect *2020-06-10, version 3.2* I practice my English speaking and enjoy the effects very much ### 5/5 — Share To Notes *2020-04-28, version 3.1* I rencently started “Sharing” my recordings to my “Notes”. Now I can play those recording within the notes App and they will be heard through my bluetooth spreaker. I am a musician and so to hear my instrument after practice or whatever I can enjy it so much more fuller. ### 5/5 — Pretty good app. *2020-03-10, version 2.9* Pretty good app. If my parents aren't here who can I narrate to? That was me before we found this app. This way when I have no one that narrate to I can just narrate into this and mom will listen to it later when she can. ### 2/5 — How to export *2019-11-04, version 2.9* It would be great if there was a way to export them, as i am creating a YouTube channel but I can't find a way export it to attach it to my videos! ### 3/5 — Super simple *2019-11-03, version 2.9* The best way to stop ads is to turn off WiFi during recordings, The best way to get good recordings is to watch the vibration line for wave patterns this will identify the amount of input you are picking up. Large waves indicate loud playback. Short waves indicate low volume playback. My only issue is paying to sync and the share locations are so limited, no BOX,no iCloud ,not many choices to store recording. And since this was an original APPLE app it should be avail free. As many original apps from APPLE really failed to be great. ### 3/5 — Great App..But A Couple Issues *2019-10-09, version 2.9* Don’t get me wrong..This app is great but I have a Couple Issues with it 1. The app sometimes freezes when I listen to my recordings 2. The app sometimes crashes when I press record. If this can be fixed that would be really appreciated. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dumb *2024-02-16, version 4.8* Leave me alone ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE!!! *2020-08-12, version 3.4* I tried to record my times tables and I recorded it five times and it just disappeared every SINGLE time. ### 1/5 — I don't know how to use this app! *2020-07-04, version 3.3* I'm going to be completely honest: In my opinion this app is confusing so I don't recommend it! ### 1/5 — Adverts *2020-07-01, version 3.3* Why am I getting adverts? It never used to be this way it also takes years to load now ### 1/5 — Sharing voice memos *2020-03-28, version 3.0* I’ve tried contacting you to learn how to share a voice memo from my iPhone to my iPad. Options listed include Email. But I’ve not been able to do this. Other advice is to change Settings. This hasn’t worked either. ### 1/5 — Privacy risk *2019-12-29, version 2.9* This application will send all your recordings to a proxy owned by the developer where your voice recordings can be potentially be placed in the hands of the developer. Do not use this app. The proxy when I used this was 166.177.120.57. ### 1/5 — Used to be great but now crashes...lost recording *2019-05-22, version 2.9* I loved this app until today. It crashed repeatedly while I was trying to record an important phone conversation. What was “recorded” won’t play and it says error when I try to listen. I lost 5+ minutes that can’t be recovered. I used Memos on my iPad instead and it worked fine for the rest of the conversation, but now I’ll never hear what this app lost. Will be deleting the app as it’s now become unreliable. ### 1/5 — Suddenly stopped and can’t replay *2019-05-17, version 2.9* I tried this the first time and recorded my meeting. 15 minutes into the meeting, it suddenly closed and stopped recording. I tried to replay the first 15 mins and none. It says error and then numbers. I tested it for 30 seconds (recorded my voice and replayed it) before I started my meeting and it was ok. But just when I needed it, it didn’t do its job. Too bad ### 1/5 — Intrusive ads *2019-04-16, version 2.9* Ads block any ability to use it or try it. Useless. ### 1/5 — Do not use *2019-04-08, version 2.9* Would not recommend. Used this to record two interviews for a research study. Managed to transfer one via Dropbox. The other would not transfer. Gave up and came back the next day to find both were gone. I've still yet to work out how an app can wipe itself with no update, no turn off or anything. Extremely poor. Do not use. Use a different and better app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love ❤️ and the best thing *2024-07-22, version 4.9* Very nice feature, love it!!!! ### 5/5 — Excelente asistencia *2024-03-15, version 4.9* buena app súper recomendable.

He was professional, patient, and kindhearted as he worked to retrieve a recording of my dad’s eulogy. Having this recording means so much to my family and me in remembering our dad. Mr. Patel seemed to understand the importance of this recording and did not give up until he succeeded in getting it to work. Thank you Manish Patel!
