Important recordings lost

Do not buy
I bought this app and it is a subscription based app. I asked what happens to all of your recordings if the subscription expires and they would not answer.
Please read this!
This app I’m starving because it is adamant that the developers see this. I do not give this app anything more than one star. This app was, at first, one of the best voice recording/music list apps I have used. I used it for over two months and had no problems whatsoever. The setup was simple and easy to understand. It was Bluetooth compatible. And best of all, I could use it to listen to music in the background of other apps without having to pay a million dollars on subscription fees.
Then as of posting this today, my phone suddenly glitched out and flagged the app as harmful malware. Even after turning on Airplane mode and disabling internet my iPhone still had a warning to immediately uninstall the app. It took me 20 minutes to get my screen to slowly respond and fully completely delete it. Only after it was removed did my phone finally return to normal.
I would not recommend using this app, as I believe that the software may be currently infected with malware or viruses that the developers may be unaware of.
I would like to state that there were important recordings of unreleased song demos on the app. If I find out, they were stolen or used in any capacity without my express permission I will sue you.

Scam
Dont sign up for the free trial they will charge you $99 for the year right then and there and the pay pro version has nothing more than the free version
DONT DO IT
There’s absolutely no customer service contact on the entire app. So let’s hope you don’t try to cancel your free trial, and then it doesn’t work, and then they charge you $100 bucks despite your attempt to cancel a couple days b4 Christmas… because that’s what happened to me! Can’t find any contact info on these people other than an email that probably isn’t even correct- which I haven’t gotten a response from anyways! Thanks a ton. If I could give zero stars I would. VERY upset.
Pro recorder
I generally like it, but one major problem. When you go to the playback, you have an option to add text in certain parts in the field of the recording, as well as icons, etc. They disappear after some time and it’s excruciatingly painful to lose those.
Fraude
Al momento de ver la suscripción me decía que 3 días gratis y después de 3 días se cobraban y no fue así. Se cobraron los 99 dólares pero me cobraron 105 por año y ya no puedo darlo de baja porque se vence hasta el 9 de diciembre del 2026 . Para mi es fraude
App is a complete scam
Costs ten dollars a month to use basic features like saving sounds or noise gate. Last time i used it the app was a buggy unstable mess. Honestly just use GarageBand it works way better on mobile all of its features are free and it’s better than whatever this is.
Terrible transcriptions and annual fee
The transcription to text was really bad and the annual fee was sneaky because I did not fully realize I had to pay for a whole year and there is no customer support to claim
Was Great
Was my go-to app for audio recording until a recent update. I do not always have an internet connection when I need to use this app and after one of the recent updates it is pretty much useless. When connected to the internet it works great, however when it is not, it freezes up and crashes. Hopefully they fix it or I will need to find another app to subscribe to.
Paid for it
And it won’t save things with the audio pitched altered. Regret it
Cheating
It says 3 days trial but once you try it charge you $99
There’s no contact #

Let me cancel (2)
Easy to sign up, impossible to cancel
Very Buggy and Lose files
this used to be a good app, but now it shuts down, doesn’t record at times and has lost most of my files.
Suddenly stopped working on watch
This app worked brilliantly for about a month. Then suddenly it will not work at all on my Apple Watch for two weeks now. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it on the watch, restarted my watch and iPhone multiple times. Nothing works.
Please fix this necessary feature ASAP.

Free Version Not as Good as Before
Not looking for a lot of features. Just would be nice to be able to clip audio. And does it have to open to the paid version every time? Once per day is enough!
