echo keeps the sound of every moment you catch, and finds the track. tap once at the club, in a shop, at a friend's place: the sound is saved either way, and echo names it. when it can't, the clip stays a mystery, and echo tries again by itself. you caught this before your phone remembers the sound of every clip. catch a track again and echo tells you when you first heard it, even if it was never named. the echo post a mystery and people who know name it. guess, agree, reply, love and follow. djs can claim their name and see what people caught at their sets, on a map of their gigs. your library every night, every track: where you were, who played, the party, notes on the clip, and the whole song on spotify, apple music, youtube music, soundcloud and bandcamp. nights where you are what's on tonight in your city, picked for what you catch. private by default your recordings stay on your phone. only clips you choose to share go on the echo, as a short excerpt, with the place rounded to about a street. no ads, no tracking.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: echo at Free against AudioShare's $4.99. echo also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 months). AudioShare's advantage is chart position (#24 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.1). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
