| 2024-09-21 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-09-07 |  | | 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 |
| 2024-08-24 |  | | 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! |
| 2024-08-08 |  | | Did a really nice job recording as needed for certain projects but it started recording voice messages that came in or that were left for other people on their machines and I can't seem to turn it off. No information out there so I'm going to try to find a different recorder if I can't get somebody to help me figure out why that's happening. I do not want voice messages that come in or the messages that I leave other people recorded. |
| 2024-07-28 |  | | The app intermittently forgets category assignment to recordings as well as bookmarks. So say you favorite some recordings, one day you might open it up and all the recordings you had favorited, are no longer so. It's incredibly frustrating, and my heart drops every time it happens. This issue is permanent too, the assignments do not come back on their own. I have contacted the developers, and they have still not fixed this issue. |
| 2024-07-05 |  | | I'm aware that you all have convinced yourselves that you absolutely HAVE TO do a complete visual overhaul every couple years or so, but lemme give you a piece of advice: YOU DON'T! & even if you do, you need to work out the kinks BEFORE you release it to the public—a public that pays thousands of dollars of their hard earned cash every 2-3 years for the "pleasure" of using your devices. There was absolutely NOTHING wrong with the previous version of this app! It ran perfectly smooth. Every time |
| 2024-05-21 |  | | I use this app for music recordings-NOT for speeches. This was a fantastic app until this update. Now they've forced AI transcribing functionality I will never use that blocks all the recording functionality I need! Not able to remove or turn it off. Bookmarks were easy to set and label as needed. Now you can add but not label. To label you have to go into edit but you still can't see the label in your recordings unless you're in editing mode! If it ain't broke, break it Samsung!! 😡 |
| 2024-04-13 |  | | Absolutely LOVE this Samsung Voice Recorder app! It has so many great features you can use, as well as different options for recording in different situations. I love that I can record something, pause it, go back a little, and rerecord if I've made a mistake. Also after saving it, I'm still able to edit the recording if I need to redo something. This has been working so well for my current project! Very happy with it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! |
| 2024-04-13 |  | | This is my favorite app for dictation. The sound quality is good, and the convert-to-text feature is better than other dictation software I've used. With the new update, the summary option, quick transcription, ability to create a Samsung note with both the transcription and recording are great. HOWEVER, you took away the ability to simply copy the text! PLEASE bring it back and take away the new extra steps needed to do what worked for years. That will bring back the fifth star. |
| 2024-04-02 |  | | I swear by this app. It has been very helpful for recording vocal references during song lyric conceptualization. I just started using the the speech-to-text feature. I only wish you could edit incorrect transcript. Other than that I love it. I've been using it for many years and will continue... that is until someone comes up with a multi tracking version of voice recorder, similar to this. 😏 I'm just saying... |
