“Perfectly fine basic function. BUT, ads interrupt every 2nd recording. I don’t have the patience.”v5.0“This recording app runs ads while in use during playback. Deleting the app after using it for 5 minutes. How disappointing.

Too many ads
There’s too many ads I can’t even hear what I recorded
Don’t waste your time.
No export functionality without a pro subscription.
Scam
Will completely allow you to record an audio until you have no way of saving it without paying for the “Pro” version.
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.
Money making gimmick
You should allow people to save the recording without going pro - wasted my time
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
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.
Ads too disruptive
Ads will play during playback and recording, rendering the app near useless Exit buttons are often obscured
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
No sound when recording
Cannot receive sound when recording
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!!!!
Performance has become terrible
Not what sure you did. This app used to be great. Now it’s unusable. Sound barely works.
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.
Fine ig..
I was trying it with my new mic but i cant delete the app and now its just stuck on my ipad
Savings to file
Saving recording to a file requires upgrade? This up is a junk.
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.
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 🙏🏻
Lost recording
I am in the middle of a police investigation. I recorded on this “free” app and very crucial information was lost.
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
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
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.
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
Not foind
Cannot find recordings
Can’t share files Lots of ads
Garbage app
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
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.
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 💩.
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.
Bad as hell
You can’t even share so stupid
Low quality
It is a scam low quality recording and it says even for saving recorded you have to upgrade it to pro which you have to pay for that even for saving the file its totally its so clear scam
