Horrible
This app does not work it just closes it screen out and never finishes
Can’t Rename Files with iPhone
The app captures audio using the watch mic and underlying Apple software to apply date time stamps. Unlike the organic voice memos, the renaming the audio with this app deletes the date time stamp and length of clip versus append it with a descriptor. This represents utter inept programming to disallow a feature that most other apps have inherently.
No documentation for this app
For a good review documentation should be available for those new to this product, so they can use it proficient. At this time I can’t give it any stars, if I had to it would be 1 star.
Its not free nowww!!!!!
Last version was better its not free now for playing i just meed to play my voice but i cant 😡
Please Revert to Last Version
I thoroughly enjoyed the last version before this version with the interesting graphics showed up. I utilized the last version since 2021 and it was my main go to recording app with minor issues. I did not mind paying for it because the value I was receiving was so high!
This version is just about garbage with far too many issues for me to detail. Please offer different versions. The functionality is completely different now.
Thank you for your consideration!

Last version 👊👎👎👎👎👎
The latest version is very uncomfortable and failed
App told me it was a free trial
I signed up for the yearly subscription thinking there would be a trial since it said free 3 day trial and then $99/month but it charged me $99 immediately
Nothing special...
Nothing at all, really. The whole draw to this for me was the audio to text. So far, only one has actually turned something out. Not accurate, but I’d take that over a buffer build up to nothing.
I love this app
I’m a musician with this app will help me a lot.
Stil is not working
When I try to record my game it makes me pay.but it doesn’t let me pay
I CANT DOWNLOAD ANY RECORDINGS TO MY IPAD
THIS APP IS DUMB I HATE IIIIITTTT
Beware! Free version is limited! Not worth the subscription
This app used to be so good, the absolute best compared to Voice Notes when it comes to recording audio. It’s stable, saved on the fly, and bounced back whenever it’s interrupted with a call or photo. Unfortunately, out of nowhere the devs decided to limit the ability to use the app. When I saw the limitation I thought it meant that you only had 10 recordings per day, and that tomorrow the counter would reset. But no, instead it’s after 10 recordings, you’re restricted from recording anymore unless you pay up to continue using the app.
I don’t know what the devs are on to think that a voice recording app of all things are worth a $20/year SUBSCRIPTION, especially when there’s tons of free alternatives that work just as well. If it was just a one time payment I could understand it, heck I may have even bought it. But yet another subscription in addition to bills and services I actually need is inexcusable.
I don’t need or want any of the extras like clipping and editing. I want a voice RECORDER, as simple as that. The ads popping up was bad enough, but tolerable given that it’s the free version. However, pushing an update that WITHOUT NOTIFICATION crippled an app that I depended on every weekday for my studies is inexcusable, and goes to show that it’s a bad idea to ever rely on an application built and supported by this developer. Shame on the devs, and it really IS such a shame too because this was a really great application; if only they didn’t turn greedy.

Use to be great 😒
I use this app almost everyday to record a lot of things, mainly work with my music. Then all of a sudden they updated it and you only get 10 free recording and now I have to pay for it to even use it! Rediculous! Currently on my way to find a different app. Very disappointed 😒
Stopped working on my Apple Watch
It use to work well until 2 months ago. Now the watch only records a few seconds (using series 3, latest watch OS, latest app update).
Seeker of ghost sounds
Interesting it seems to be recording a male individual who is making sounds but, no words. Is this legit or have your company already added these sounds to this recording app?
Can’t export a file over 4 hours
This app is awesome. Until it’s not. I made a long recording over multiple days and it recorded just fine. But it only exports a 4 hour file. So, not so awesome. Can’t find a way to fix this. I’ve air dropped it, saved it to iCloud files, nothing works. Dumb. Dumb. So dumb. And useless.
