I began recording 2 separate recordings for an event and when I decided to listen to it, no audio was actually captured. Meanwhile, a couple of days ago, it worked fine. For context, my s24 ultra has had issues with the charging port & sim card reader but, that's no reason for the audio not to record. Especially since it was able to record the audio a few days ago. On another note, I also took video recordings of the event and the audio worked fine in the video. Only using this app audio no work

I am a bigfoot researcher and believe it or not this is my go to recorder in the field. I put my phone on audio record in the windows flap of my tent and I have recorded some incredible audio. It picks up everything. Even from a distance and that's what I want. I had activity at about 50 yards away and this recorder picked it up. I could work with the audio to clean it .. And it has a graph so I can quickly go through 7 or 8 hours to pinpoint activity . I have a zoom recorder . I don't use it

Bought a new phone. Never noticed or used this app before. Now, it seems to be very invasive. Tried to turn it off, and now I can't receive calls. I discovered recordings on the phone that I never knew were made. Even one from 2019! I don't want this app spying on me, but I want my phone to work! If I could give negative stars, I would. Might be a great app for some, but it should be by choice ONLY!
