Podcast Maker vs RecordDeck

Podcast Maker is a podcast recorder, voice memo and dictation app for iPhone. Record episodes in uncompressed 48 kHz audio — crash-proof, with nothing lost if the app closes. Voice recorder and audio editor in one app for podcasters: choose your microphone, record, invite guests via link, edit, and export as M4A (AAC) or WAV — all on iPhone. CRASH-PROOF RECORDING Uncompressed 48 kHz recording. Audio is written to storage every ten seconds — nothing is lost even if the app crashes or iPhone restarts. Pause and resume anytime. Drop markers while recording. Recording continues in the background, in other apps, and on the lock screen. An incoming call does not stop the recording — it pauses and resumes automatically. A take can run up to four hours. MICROPHONE AND LEVELS Choose your mic: iPhone's built-in, wired headphones, a USB interface, or Bluetooth. A warning appears when Bluetooth is selected, because it records at 16 kHz. The level meter warns when you are too quiet or too loud. Start with Siri; pause, resume and stop from the lock screen, Dynamic Island or home screen widget — without opening the app. REMOTE INTERVIEW WITH A GUEST Invite your guest via link — no app needed, they join from their browser. You hear each other live during recording, no Zoom or phone call. Each side records locally; the tracks are merged on the server afterward. An unstable connection does not affect audio quality. Both voices are automatically balanced in volume. If the connection drops, the app reconnects automatically. If your guest loses internet entirely, their recording is recovered and imported. And when your guest's recording stops, the recording screen tells you — so you never keep talking alone. EDITING ON iPHONE Waveform editor with zoom: select a range and delete, or cut in the middle without splitting the episode. Reorder segments, listen to each, remove them. Extract a clip from one episode and move it to another. Undo and redo; one tap restores the original recording. Markers, playback speed from 0.5× to 2×. Noise reduction and auto level, applied after the take and reversible. JOIN EPISODES AND INSERT SOUND Join episodes in any direction — solo into interview, interview into solo, or two interviews together — at the end or right at the playhead. Nothing already recorded moves, and you see the new length before you add. Add intro and outro from the built-in library, and drop applause, laughter or a sting anywhere: 40 sounds included. A sound sits on top: the episode keeps playing underneath, its length does not change, and nothing is written into the recording — take it away at any time. SERIES AND EXPORT Organize episodes under shows with automatic episode numbering. Export via the share sheet to any app — higher quality and WAV available. Export runs in the background and notifies you when it is done. ICLOUD BACKUP AND PRIVACY Optional backup to your own iCloud — sign in with your Apple ID to switch it on, and off again whenever you like. Without it, recordings stay on this device. The app works fully without an account, and your audio never reaches our servers. With backup on, your episodes and audio come back after a reinstall or on a new iPhone. You can export your data or delete your account. DEVICES, LANGUAGES AND ACCESSIBILITY For iPhone and iPad — three columns on iPad — and iOS 17 or later. Available in 18 languages; you can switch the app's language without changing your iPhone's. Dark mode, dynamic type and VoiceOver. FREE AND STUDIO-PASS Free: two episodes, fifteen minutes each, full editing, joining episodes, inserted sounds, and M4A export. Studio-Pass unlocks: unlimited episodes, takes up to four hours, remote guest interview via link, intro and outro, noise reduction, automatic level adjustment, higher quality and WAV export, playback speed.
