| 2024-06-17 |  | | Shares WhatsApp OK still error Gmail. I like this app because it records in stereo using both mics from my Samsung. On my old Note9 I could share a saved recording directly to Gmail. But on my new S23 I get an error that says Gmail needs access to storage. But digging into it. I find that Gmail HAS access. In Files I find the saved SR file does NOT register as an MP3, until I reboot the phone. Files now shares the SR file but SR still gets storage access error on share. Please check your side? |
| 2023-08-28 |  | | Mike, 28/08/23 Moto g13 running Android 13 This app is quite basic which is exactly what I wanted. It only needs permissions that it actually needs, has NO adverts and does pretty much everything I wanted it to do. Very neat, very reliable. I'm happy. Thanks. |
| 2021-10-16 |  | | Sound is garbled, low volume. I have to import it into an app with an eq to fix it. Somehow recorded at half speed. Every music player I have plays it the same, half speed. |
| 2021-04-16 |  | | It used to be good, but now, fully updated, the timing of the recordings are doubled and tripled, and many times my audio will not save at all. 2 stars because the interface is clean, but I m moving on. |
| 2021-04-13 |  | | EDIT: Reduced from 5 stars to 2. Records and plays perfectly on the phone, but recordings won't open on Audacity or Foobar on my computer. ORIG: Perfect. Small sizeand no unnecessary permisssions. |
| 2021-03-24 |  | | The App is easy to use, but my saved recordings display a recording time double the length of the recording, and play-back is at half speed. I'm using a Galaxy Note 10+ 5G on Android 11. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any additional information. |
| 2021-03-10 |  | | Big problem I found recently, the audio encoder doesn't work properly and throws MP3 files that show no bit rate, sample and bit depth. Some audio players struggle with this files and most DAWs reject them. About the app itself, it's just perfect, easy to use and straightforward, bit please fix this encoding problem. |
| 2021-01-25 |  | | Worked well on my LG until very recent when I cant find the stuff I recorded in my files. The audios reflect in the app, but they cant be found in my files. Another thing is, there are some audios that are refusing to delete. Good app in the beginning, but dissapointing climax. So gave it one star. |
| 2021-01-14 |  | | A"Data Collecting"app. Pointless app ALL smartphones have an app sound/voice recording pre-installed. Cant hear lecture/meetings! Most have more options for sound quality & normal/meeting/lecture recording mode options as standard. That's 'bare minimum work done' without collection of personal data, -unlike like this app-. Suspiciously, this app doesn't mention it 'needlessly' collects PERSONAL DATA from u. But after u find &click few links, then, hey presto, GOOGLE tells u instead!!!(on a site) ......... It’s completely offline. Maybe /maybe not on my new iPhone (not sure how to use it yet) But when I had it android. U bet ur top dollar it’s online I closed it down coz it was connected. Then decided to uninstall |
| 2020-12-11 |  | | I wasn't happy with app so I deleted after having only 10 minutes. It refused to work bc I refused to let it have access to my photos and files. I just needed the sound recorder to record some noise for maintenance. Why the hell do u need access to my stuff for that. |
