Deleted recordings
I have trusted this iPad app for years. Now suddenly my recordings just vanished. Several were important. Now I have to wonder if stored data in any app can be trusted. I at least should have been notified. There IS NO Deleted recordings on my iPads
Shared Recordings Don’t Work
I went and shared my recording to family members, but the family members can not play the recording I shared with them. We’ve tried everything from updating to purchasing another app that states it plays everything. Wish I could get my money back.
Terrible
They’re terrible . Billing without showing on Apple subscriptions tab.
Stops recording after 5 minutes
I tried using this to record an important conversation and it stopped recording 5 minutes in
Don’t buy this
It’s impossible to export your recording without using Dropbox. It’s a waste of money and keeps asking you to add other apps in order to get any functionality.
Don’t work download
Every time I download it always failed
Had to get ‘Pro’ version for usability & they alleg that is a “1-time payment” (what’s the trick?)
I will update this review after I experience “Pro” version.
Disgraceful - Do not use
I have recorded some important verbal communications on that app. To my dismay, I opened it in an attempt to use them and discovered that they were all gone.
Disappointed
I had the original app but I kept getting ads to upgrade and pay. I couldn’t even rename my voice memos to identify them so I was forced to pay and upgrade. Then, I couldn’t even sort or put them in order bc that requires another upgrade of $5. So, naturally I’m just unhappy with this app and had I known it costs for every little thing, I wouldn’t have upgraded and would have looked for a different app
Premium Package
Can’t hear anything on playback
Not able to play the recording
My family sent me a message and tried opening it but couldn’t play the message
Doesn't work
I tried it, even paid for pro, it never recorded anything. I played the files back and there was nothing except white noise. Wasted 4 bucks so I advise against.
Reading
I recorded a conversation on Monday, March 11, 2024, & I also checked it twice to make sure it was recorded. Now I can’t find the 1 hour 18 minutes conversation! 🤢
VoiceRecorder
“Crap!”!
As are all recorders that block external saving or transfer.

Bad
Both help portion and half the buttons on this app do not work
I wanted the advanced this is not that
Not a good app
Setup was too hard for me
I could not figure out how to listen to an uploaded recording. Help feature ha oops could not get help. Dropbox install login setup not easy enough for me to do. I will find some other way to record using my laptop instead of the iphone apo
No volume control
Is a simple microphone volume control too much to ask for?
Voice Recorder
Won’t record
The record is not working, right
Working on my on my iPhone 13 is not working it’s not working
Missing key capabilities
For six dollars, I would expect some basic capabilities such as being able to rearrange audio files. I also spent nearly an hour trying to transfer or share the audio files to iTunes, which I never did figure out. I’m disappointed in the limitations of this app for the amount of money that it costs.
WAV files will not parse for transcription in AI apps
When attached/uploaded to PERPLEXITY.AI or GEMINI at Google, WAV files will *not* parse for transcription. WAV provides best quality output. Very disappointed. Requires a 2nd step to convert to MP3. This is a drag on my workflow. Entire reason I spent the money on this pro app was to consistently get a dependable WAV for download. How do I get a refund for $6? (And then another $13 [on sale?] for a secondary app for access to 1-click share or saving to alternate Files app folders [to transcribe to text or PDF]? Probably not going to stay with this clunky approach.)
Like bait & switch
I found a free version, didn’t know there was a paid version, and got that and made a very important recording. Then I found it was useless unless I got the paid version. I am offended-a waste of my time offering us a free version.
Search function???
How can I search for a recording???
Not great for music
Recording on IPhone 15 Pro. Difficult to make a “clean” recording. Doesn’t filter excess noise.
Ripoff aplicación
I was not able to text or email the voice recording’s because they were to big but they took my money.
