  • user·e8a9App Storev10.012d agoon the store ↗

    Too many ads

    There’s too many ads I can’t even hear what I recorded

  • user·6298App Storev10.015d agoon the store ↗

    Don’t waste your time.

    No export functionality without a pro subscription.

  • user·f0b4App Storev10.015d agoon the store ↗

    Scam

    Will completely allow you to record an audio until you have no way of saving it without paying for the “Pro” version.

  • user·ef54App Storev9.119 Sept 2026on the store ↗

    Waste of Time

    I can’t even save to a file move or do anything but listen to what I recorded from the app. This is a complete waste of time because they want you to pay for a pro version but advertise It’s free.

  • user·512aApp Storev9.102 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    Money making gimmick

    You should allow people to save the recording without going pro - wasted my time

  • user·f036App Storev9.124 Jun 2026on the store ↗

    Save to pro mode

    Why the hack do i need pro mode to save into files or share? Don’t make apps if we cannot use without money lol, its not money making machines. You could add ads instead

  • user·65daApp Storev9.113 May 2026on the store ↗

    BLEW MY EARDRUMS OUT!

    I was trying to test the mic on my Bluetooth headset, when suddenly, this app, without warning, popped up an unbelievably loud, full screen ad, blowing my eardrums out and hurting my ears. Deleting immediately.

  • user·e4b8App Storev8.509 Mar 2026on the store ↗

    Ads too disruptive

    Ads will play during playback and recording, rendering the app near useless Exit buttons are often obscured

  • user·c000App Storev8.507 Mar 2026on the store ↗

    You cannot share the recorded file

    I would rate it 0, Because I am unable to share a file that urgent to share. I would use the default app for recording if I knew this before.

  • user·cf0fApp Storev8.501 Mar 2026on the store ↗

    One of the worst app I have ever seen . When you install it you will see lot of virus So do not ins

    Never install it.

  • user·5a7bApp Storev8.505 Feb 2026on the store ↗

    This has in app purchases.

    You cant save anything to your phone, send it to yourself via email, trim it, continue recording, or share at all without making a 5.99 purchase. I think thats a lot of money to spend with someone who wouldn't let me save, share, or trim my audio i just trusted them with, and I think other people should be aware of that. normal recorder otherwise, nothing to complain about from a utilitarian standpoint; im broke, i made a really nice recording on a bad day, it sucks i cant keep it.

  • user·c072App Storev8.529 Jan 2026on the store ↗

    Impossible to download

    Although the free version states that you can download to iTunes, the files are nowhere to be found. No way to share without upgrading to paid.

  • user·ce8dApp Storev8.517 Jan 2026on the store ↗

    Bad app

    Never download, If you want sound recorded never download this app. I tried form a DJ set, I was recording for hours and this app never recorded anything the whole time 🙄 Never download 1 star

  • user·2990App Storev8.507 Dec 2025on the store ↗

    Annoying

    Too many ads. Too many offers to upgrade. Incessant ads and offers. Some ads are fake iPhones notifications attempting to get the user to click on a link to resolve a fake issue.

  • user·838cApp Storev8.530 Nov 2025on the store ↗

    Worthless

    What a wast of bandwidth. Its an awesome recorder BUT TOU CANT SAVE THE RECORDING UNLESS TOU UPGRADE TO “PRO”. Saving a recording is the whole point of a got damned voice recording app!!! Uninstalled.

  • user·e961App Storev8.505 Nov 2025on the store ↗

    Ads and Spyware on a Utility!!

    It was a free basic utility and then all this junk was added for storing in the cloud (spying on you) and then freaking ADS!! Garbage. deleting.

  • user·0fa1App Storev8.525 Oct 2025on the store ↗

    Beware

    Ads pop up that force you to visit a website with no other option. Then a FRAUDULENT ‘settings’ message tells you you’re almost out of memory and prompts you to download an app.

  • user·b988App Storev8.523 Oct 2025on the store ↗

    Not really “free”.

    Not really “free”. You’re held hostage to what you record unless you pay for the pro version. Can’t email, upload, or. Anything else unless you pay for the Pro version. Won’t even send to my device music app. I’d be happy to pay for the Pro version, but I want to see how well this app works before I pay for it. Voice Record Pro is a better app, free although I sent them some money after I used it for a while. I’m going back to that app for all future recordings.

  • user·7777App Storev8.505 Oct 2025on the store ↗

    Trash

    So many times this app has failed me!!! You open the app start recording but no soon as you leave the app it stops recording! WHAT IS THE POINT OF A RECORDING APP IF IT DOESN’T RUN IN THE BACK GROUND!!! Waste of space and time!!!

  • user·6317App Storev8.515 Sept 2025on the store ↗

    No sound when recording

    Cannot receive sound when recording

  • user·1d14App Storev8.523 Aug 2025on the store ↗

    Doesn’t do what it says

    When I try to start recording my call or even if I start recording before making a call Also now that I’ve located the actual recordings it has only recorded what was occurring IN MY ROOM not the phone conversations AT ALL To top this ALL OFF going to “App Support” only takes you to AN ADVERTISEMENT TELLING ALL THE APP LIES THAT THE APP DESCRIPTION TELLS YOU AND PROVIDES ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE TO ACTUALLY GET SUPPORT!!!!

  • user·de3bApp Storev8.504 Jul 2025on the store ↗

    Performance has become terrible

    Not what sure you did. This app used to be great. Now it’s unusable. Sound barely works.

  • user·5c9bApp Storev8.503 Jul 2025on the store ↗

    Voice recorder lite

    Unable to find the recordings that are saved and unable to start the recording during the conversation so you have to remember to hit record before you make the phone call for these reasons. I give it a one star and don’t recommend it.

  • user·0459App Storev8.525 Jun 2025on the store ↗

    Fine ig..

    I was trying it with my new mic but i cant delete the app and now its just stuck on my ipad

  • user·2e17App Storev8.109 May 2025on the store ↗

    Savings to file

    Saving recording to a file requires upgrade? This up is a junk.

  • user·085fApp Storev8.425 Apr 2025on the store ↗

    Very poor. Stupidly intrusive ads

    Much as per the title. Can’t do anything without being pestered by useless ads. If you’re using a free app I’d guess you’re not in the market for high end semi pro microphones and the like. Didn’t recognise a cheap off the shelf lightning connected mic that other apps worked with seamlessly.

  • user·b70fApp Storev8.320 Mar 2025on the store ↗

    Ignorant

    Neutered completely . Doesn’t allow you to do anything with your recorded file unless you purchase their premium app . Waste of my energy thx 🙏🏻

  • user·5a8aApp Storev8.2.128 Jan 2025on the store ↗

    Lost recording

    I am in the middle of a police investigation. I recorded on this “free” app and very crucial information was lost.

  • user·b3dbApp Storev8.2.108 Jan 2025on the store ↗

    Absolute junk

    Nothing but adds can’t save what you record unless you buy the pro you try to do anything and it’s ad after ad aggravating

  • user·4368App Storev8.2.105 Jan 2025on the store ↗

    Game

    I love the app but cuts me off when I am doing Roblox or Toca Boca when recording my Ty videos and it irritates me take down this app it’s horrible

  • user·487fApp Storev8.2.105 Dec 2024on the store ↗

    Needs fixing

    I used this app for the first time last week. Every time a message came through on my iPhone the recording stopped. It took me a while to realise what was happening. I’m deleting this app and cancelling my subscription.

  • user·ac57App Storev8.2.102 Dec 2024on the store ↗

    Can’t do anything with recording

    If you don’t “upgrade” all you can do is record and listen. You can’t save it to your phone or anything unless you pay for it. I wish I would have known that before now I have a recording I can do nothing with

  • user·1463App Storev8.2.128 Nov 2024on the store ↗

    Not foind

    Cannot find recordings

  • user·4c6eApp Storev8.2.102 Nov 2024on the store ↗

    Can’t share files Lots of ads

    Garbage app

  • user·a403App Storev8.2.117 Sept 2024on the store ↗

    Lack of feature details

    You only find out the orange of features you can use after downloading which are limited. For most features including the sharing one you have to upgrade to the Pro version

  • user·7f48App Storev8.2.120 Aug 2024on the store ↗

    Error message

    Just spent 35 minutes makes important notes for a meeting and lost the lot as it’s showing an error message. So upset. Don’t feel I can trust this app now.

  • user·f437App Storev8.2.115 Aug 2024on the store ↗

    Waste of time.

    Not worth the powder to blow it up. Got this app to record a meeting then send it to people who couldn’t make it. When I went to send it you can’t unless you pay for the upgrade. What a bunch of horse dropping 💩.

  • user·7504App Storev8.2.113 Aug 2024on the store ↗

    Worst app

    Free verson only give you download via itune, total waste, no email option or sending options at all unless you upgrade it. And lot of ads. Not recommend, There are a lot of free recording apps far better than this.

  • user·ea0eApp Storev8.2.101 Aug 2024on the store ↗

    Bad as hell

    You can’t even share so stupid

  • user·21dbApp Storev8.126 May 2024on the store ↗
