Hi
I use this audio memo for all my important lessons so I can re listen when ever I need to recap. I keep these lessons for many years and they are always there. Please keep this app going for me.
I am so grateful to have this memo app.
All of this is exactly true. Please keep this memo active ongoing.
Thank you.

I recorded a whole interview with one of my son’s teachers, then I renamed it, and then when I went to be done with the renaming, I hit the X and instead of taking me out of the deleted the whole recording

Awesome app!!!! I’ve used it for many years and it’s simple and reliable to use.

I’ve been using this very stable platform for years!!!! Totally recommend it. The only problem that I recently had is when I went to play back a recording, it sounded very slow. I couldn’t figure out how to fix it. Would like for that fix be in FAQs.

I found this app with the ability to transcribe so valuable. I wish it would do it during a call on the same device but in my case, I have to to put my cell phone in speaker mode and hold it next to my iPad which records it and makes a nice transcription of the entire call, it works very well and gets most of the transcription correct with very little post call modifications needed before it automatically sends a copy to my email..

Recording doesn’t work

I highly recommend this app. Pros are that the recordings are clear and there is long limit on their duration as long as you have the space.

Transferring the recordings to others can be challenging and a bit quirky. Quite often it takes several steps to move a recording somewhere so that it can be shared or edited.

I enjoy the chance to record when I have a need to. Now days it seems I’m doing it a lot and I’m grateful for that. Thank you.

I’m a composer, and I use this app all the time. It’s so easy to record ideas for future compositions. It’s fast and easy, and excellent.

This app has been so buggy since the beginning and the developers unfortunately fail to fix the bugs. I have been waiting for more than a year now - same crashing bugs I reported to them still present:

- I keep losing audio memos which is incredibly frustrating. I lost so much work because of this app, I feel a fool for continuing to rely on this after the first instance when I recorded a long dictation on my Apple Watch and it simply disappeared. There is a pause button, but I just see it as a “russian roulette button” because if you pause recording and switch apps, you have a 50-50 chance that you will lose the recording you paused.

- recordings on the Apple Watch remain in the “sync in progress” cue forever. I contacted the developers looking for solution and they tried, but failed to fix this. Sync has been broken for well over a year. Every memo you ever recorded remains in a “sync in progress” queue until you delete them manually, one by one. If you get too many, the Watch app gets overwhelmed and won’t sync at all.

I am just writing this review now, after I lost a long dictation, recording my thoughts on my Apple Watch and at one point, the app randomly started a new recording and my long dictation was completely gone. Extremely frustrating and not really hard to solve - just implement autosave every few seconds and this will never happen. The fact that this hasn’t been done in over a year after I first reported it tells me that the developer doesn’t care about users losing their important data, so I’m done with this app.

It is a beta app at best, and the developer is using you as a guinea pig to discover the fatal flaws of the app - and even then, they still don’t fix them.

This app stops recording every time I put my phone down. It picks up A LOT of background noise making it hard to hear people’s voices. It also doesn’t pick up voices more than 6 feet away. Would love to see this app have noise cancellation and mute background noise.

Recorded a phone call with insurance company and it picked up NOTHING!
