Kasetofon is a cassette recorder, not a list of voice memos. Load a blank tape, press REC, and watch the reels turn and the needle swing. Takes are written straight to 16-bit WAV — mono or stereo, at 44.1, 22 or 8 kHz — and they stay on your device, visible in the Files app. RECORDING • Keep recording with the screen locked. A Live Activity holds the spinning reels, the running time and a STOP key on the Lock Screen. • Tapes stretch as you talk. Run past the end of a side and the tape extends, up to four hours. • A take interrupted by a call or an alarm pauses and picks up again where it left off. • If the app is ever killed mid-recording, the take is recovered the next time you open it. • A five-band graphic EQ on playback — FLAT, VOICE, MUSIC and TAPE presets, or draw your own curve. Monitor-only, with an IN/OUT bypass key: the take on the tape stays clean. • Deck sounds — motor and tape hiss under playback, and if you want, printed into the WAV itself. THE DECK • Six cabinet finishes, from graphite through walnut to 70s beige. • A compact cassette, or an open-reel mechanism with tape threaded across the guides. • A mechanical rev counter, or a real-time counter. • An analogue VU meter with a needle you can colour. TAPE TO TAPE • A dubbing deck — load a take on deck A, a blank on deck B, and print through FERRIC, CHROME or METAL stock, with drive, bump, flutter, hiss and motor on knobs. Prints count their generations, like real copies do. • A splice editor — razor a take into pieces, keep the ones you want, and they render as a new tape. • VID OUT — film the deck playing your take, cassette or open reels, and share it as an MP4 sized for stories or feeds. • KASETOFON DECK — the whole tape circuit as an AUv3 plugin: run any track in GarageBand, AUM or any Audio Unit host through the deck. THE SHELF • Every take on a shelf you can search by name and filter by category or date. • Name your tapes in your choice of handwriting. • Share any take as a WAV, or film it as an MP4 — and import your own WAV files straight onto the shelf. • Optional iCloud Drive storage. Recording and playback are free, forever, with no time limit, no watermark and no account. The Studio Pack is a single purchase that unlocks the dubbing deck, splice editing, VID OUT, the Kasetofon Deck AUv3, the cabinet finishes, the open-reel mechanism, needle colours and label fonts, tape categories, the real-time counter and iCloud storage. The graphic EQ, deck sounds and WAV import are free for everyone.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DeviceScope Test at none against Kasetofon's 1. DeviceScope Test also leads on device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
