Best I've tried for what I needed. The only down side is how sensitive it is. My belly growling even activated it so the recs just ended up longer than expected. Would be cool to be able to have a low volumed tv in the background (kinda continual) as low baseline and anything increasing from THAT point would activate the recorder, that woulda been perfect! Still tho, countless times I thought I missed something then would remember the app and it caught it every time!! Was SO relieved I had it!

Pretty damn sweet recoding app! I especially like that it can record the audio from a video files AND audio from online videos... without canceling out the video players, like so many other recoding apps do. The only improvement or suggestion I can offer is... it would be awesome to be able to edit the audio by trimming or selecting sections of a recoding. I have to convert the file and then import it into a separate audio editing app for that, but overall, very versatile with sound quality.

Been using this app for years and love it. Audio quality is amazing. Friends of mine and I record our farts and poops audio and send them to each other. (No BS, we actually do this) Mine sounds better than the other guys who are using something else to record with. On top of that, the ability to share with each other is easy as is renaming the files. I also use it for work.voice notes.

With some calibration in the adjustment menu, this is more than adequate for clear recording indoors, whether it's merely speech, or loud live music. Outdoors, it's different. Despite some efforts in modern recording apps that capably account for wild conditions, the phone mic may be impeded by mild weather and soft breezes. Also, it's taxing to tune the settings decently for every single condition. Considering this, it still gets 5 stars for keeping the function and layout simple and neat.

Interface is easy on the eyes; ads are unintrusive; sample rate goes up to 44,100 even without paying money. I don't even use it for the skip-silence feature--this is just the most pleasant voice recording app I've been able to find on the Play Store. (As a sound designer, I do wish the volume control were easier to access and use. But who am I to fault a general-purpose app for not meeting specialist needs?)

This is the best app if you need to record sound. There is ads, but they dont interfere with the app. And it's FREE! If you're a musician and don't want to forget your new riff or a composition, it's perfect. Or a journalist that needs to record a conversation, also it can be as long as you need. Plus, you can record and listen while using the phone. Other sound recorder apps, you have to wait for an add or 2 every time you use a different option. Love it! Thanks to the creators. Peace ✌️

Dropping to one star. I've been having complications and no one even wants to address the issue. Record quality has dropped drastically. All I use this thing for is recording my guitar riffs. The quality now sounds like I'm playing in a tin can being crushed under the ocean. Fuzzy sizzling and popping is all I hear coming through the microphone. I've adjusted all settings to maximum performance and nothing helps.You had a great app, but now it's useless and I've uninstalled.

A great app, one of my very favorites. It is so intuitive, so easy to use, and it has never failed to work perfectly. Its simplicity is a great asset. There is hardly any learning curve. Believe the great ratings. Sept. 2014 update: What I said above could be said identically today, years after my first comments. Congratulations to those who developed this app and those who maintain it.

Clear as a bell even if you put this in your back pocket under your coat. It's great for catching liars. Oh you claim I never told you something? Well this recording says otherwise. Its also perfect for note taking bc you can have it cut out any silent parts. The only downside is if you get a call it turns off during the call, so if you're going to use it to record phone conversations this isn't the app you want. These are also very difficult to send to someone bc the files can get very large.

Used for quite a while now. it's exactly what I was looking for. Doesn't time-out the recording session, so I can think before I speak. Also has pause so I can talk to someone off the record without breaking up the stream. Folder names+structure so I can organize topics. Quick share for distribution & backup. Picks up voices across the room nicely. Very thoughtful engineering thank you
