Recorder for Negative User Reviews
✓ Excellent - except sound qualityAmazing - you can record a sound - it automatically names it, but you can rename it as needed (handy to make memo reminders while driving when you can't type). The cool thing about this app is that you can transfer it to any computer via wi-fi. It connects to their server and uploads the file, then you use any PC to go to the URL it tells you on the iPhone screen, and you can download the AIFF file. Really slick. If you choose to e-mail the file, it uploads the file to their server, then sends an e-mail containing a link you click on, to retrieve the file stored on their server (holds it there for 10 days). The only downside... Compared to other iPhone sounds recording apps: the sound quality is poor, and there is no way to adjust it. Also, the sounds isn't very loud. Even with the speaker volume on the iPhone cranked to max, you can barely hear the recording..Version: 0
✓ Recorder Doesn't Work...The application doesn't work... It doesn't play back any audio when a recording is finished. The volume is turned up on my iPhone, all other applications access the microphone without any issues. Anyone else having problems?.Version: 0

✓ Still Doesn't WorkThis app hasn't worked for years on my iPhone 6 Plus. The update does nothing to change that. Will not open. Crashes immediately. Please fix it. It was actually very useful several years ago.Version: 12.0.1
✓ Does not workWill not record while a call is being made. Useless waste of money, not happy!.Version: 10.6.2
✓ RubbishCompletely rubbish sound quality. the only reason I tried this was because the FAR superior (sound quality wise) VoiceNotes has a 2 minute limit and you can't email or transfer the recordings *sigh* what I need is Voicenotes quality with the ability to actually USE THE DAMN FILE!.Version: 0

✓ Not workingCall recording not working !.Version: 0
✓ Dangerous !!!From some other reviews that I've read it seems that a few people don't realize that (1) this is for iPhone and/or iPod Touch 2nd Generation and (2) an external microphone is needed to record. I have used it with an iPhone Stereo Headset and a ThumbTack (Google that !) and have no complaints at all. People using ThumbTack must remove it for playback. Now if we could use it without an external microphone it would be perfect ! Update - After using this app a couple of times a week with no problems something happened with it today that frighteneed me. I used it then found that I could not exit the app. Pressing the home button on my iPod Touch did nothing. I could not turn off the power to the iPod. I could not get back to the icon to delete it either. In short my iPod was frozen and useless. Finally I went to my iMac and deleted it in applications and when asked if I wanted to reinstall on my iMac (when I synced) said no and was finally able to get my iPod to work and uninstall it there. I almost had to drive to the nearest Apple Store ! Very scary..Version: 0
✓ Application don t work to record callFake representation.... Don t buy that....Version: 10.6.2
✓ The Record button doesn't work.ERRGGggHHH>>> y is it the record button doesn't work? After I hit the record button..It doesn't record anything..I tried to reboot my device but it gives me the same result.. and then I try to reinstall it and nothing changes.. what a waste!.Version: 0
✓ Recording not working at all for callsRecording not working at all for calls and very bad foe memos or other necessities . Apple recorder is zoo much better! I paid thinking I'll get something in return not way ur getting smithing from this cr4ppy app!!? Don't buy!!.Version: 10.6.1
✓ Great Idea...But can we record phone conversations with it? This would be very useful!.Version: 0
✓ Damn it!I stupidly bought this app without reading the part where it said CALL RECORDING ONLY WORKS IN THE US. That was the only reason why k wanted it. I live in the UK so damn it!.Version: 10.6.1
✓ Thorough con!Downloaded this app to record an important conversation. Turns out that not only it didn't record but if you want to record you have to pay £1.49 an hour before hand. Don't waste your money on this. Throw it over a bridge- it will be more fun and it's more likely to record your phone call....Version: 11.4
✓ Not very good!It does not record phone calls!.Version: 0
✓ UpsetI have use this recording up for many years… And for the most part it’s great and does what you need to do. But just recently I had accidentally left the recorder going long after the period of time that I needed to record, and wanted to trim the recording. Every other single editing program in the world that I’ve used that has a cut function can cut out parts of the recording that you do not want. So I was happy to see this had that available, so I thought. I am so upset that their scissor icon for cutting out the section of the recording that you do not want, ends up KEEPING ONLY what you wanted to delete. It’s the absolute most ludicrous thing to select the portion that you want to cut, and use their scissor function to find out that it doesn’t cut that, it only keeps it and deletes the rest, more atrocious is the fact that you have no way to reverse the action!! Consequently I lost a very valuable recording. Very upset..Version: 12.0.1
✓ Need adjustable sound qualityThe sync feature works great using a browser. Would like adjustable (improved) sound quality. I like the fact that it creates common AIFF files..Version: 0
✓ Very limited- here's why:-Recorder. Navigation: • Produces a compressed waveform format. The whole recording is shown in a 4 cm long strip. • Record and Playback timer in tenths of seconds. • input volume meter. WHAT IT DOES:- • Records, pause recording, continue recording. • When you press stop, it files the recording. • Allows editing of name. • the only options with a file are: Playback, or trim the ends to leave a section that REPLACES the original recording, which is now gone forever. • Share recording by WiFi and Email. • Playback volume ok for closeup recording; only fair for distance. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO:- • NO Edit recordings apart from trim ends, leaving a section that replaces the original. • NO Overwrite anywhere in recording • NO Append more at end of recording once stop pressed. • NO Insert feature (far more useful than the usual overwrite that most have, which destroys any following recording). • NO mark and delete unwanted bits. • NO macros. Useful for storing often used phrases, and also for templates, • NO scrolling real-time waveform. This would allow accurate marking for cutting of even a single sound, e.g. a cough. Not possible on a compressed waveform. It doesn't matter here: you can't edit recordings anyway. • NO Voice activated recording to avoid silences. • NO Bookmarks that can be inserted during recording, and playback, listed and editable. • NO ability to shuffle and assemble saved clips to form new recording. OVERALL IMPRESSION:- • Very basic, very limited. Very few features as a recorder. Losing the original recording once trimmed is a big negative..Version: 0
✓ Not happyI just paid $.99 for the app just to learn I had to then pay for credits for calls. Don’t recommend. Don’t waste your time..Version: 12.0.1
✓ CrapI've just been ripped off thanks.Version: 10.6.2
✓ BUGThis recorder does not play what you recorded! Usless!!!.Version: 0
✓ Does not record callsRubbish does not record calls.Version: 10.6.2
✓ DONT BUY!!!Load of rubbish. Can't record calls. How do I get my money back. Much better recorders out there anyway. RIP OFF.Version: 0
✓ Time delay? Static? Horrible!Needed this app to do high-profile interviews. Used it once and will NOT use it again. It was humiliating. There was an obvious time delay, causing us to talk over each other and making me hesitate to ask important questions, which was the point. Then, though I had 5 bars, there was a lot of static on both sides, meaning it sounded shoddy to her and won't provide accuracy for fact checkin for me (again, the WHOLE point). I called a relative to test the connection, and tested both high quality and regular through the app. High quality was worse; he could barely hear me for either. Then I called him back without using the app, and guess what? Clear as a bell. Because you have to call first to a center and the. Be connected, I'm assuming this quality problem is caused by that. Really shameful. I now have 6+ hours of recording time that I can't use, and an interview looming for which I have NO option. Waste of money!!.Version: 10.6.2
✓ DON'T BUYDON'T BUY THIS APP!! DOES NOT WORK!! WORTHLESS APP!!.Version: 10.6.2
✓ Recorded A Concert !I used this to record Chris Cornell at West Palm Beach, Fl. It was very easy to record and seperate the tracks, and it works with the screen off so I conserved battery and didn't make it obvious I was recording. The sound isn't professional of course but is a great souvenir, I expected much worse quality. I listened in the car and with headphones but since it's more than 2 minutes per song I can't email it. I'm just going to use GarageBand and an audio cable to get them on my iMac but I'm hoping the next update lets you email. AND I hope the next update doesn't delete the files already there. Anyway, I do like it, I just didn't give it the full stars since I can't email it yet..Version: 0
✓ RubbishDon't waste your money does not play back.Version: 11.4
✓ It doesnThe application was meant to allow users to record phone calls but Apple blocked every recording applications from doing that. We just can't anymore :-(.Version: 0
✓ Never NEVER NEVER BUY IT IS A TRAP I WANT MONEY BACKREPORT THIS TO THE CONSUMER COUNCIL.Version: 10.6.1
✓ False advertisingPaid app price then learned had to pay for individual call recordings so cancelled immediately. I will look for the refund.Version: 12.0.1
✓ Not happy, performance below average.Not worth it, the voice recording quality is less than average I could hardly recognise my own voice. If you value quality don't bother I wasted my money and time..Version: 0
✓ I erased itI have an older cell and has incoming & Outgoing installed in it free all the time ericsson710 since 2005.Version: 0
✓ Does what it says on the tinAs an app it does what it claims to do "record" i found it usful for recording during meetings without other knowing, if you want a recorder YOU HAVE FOUND ONE.Version: 0
✓ Don't buy it!I installed 2times, it doesn't work. Keep it freezing .... Want money back!.Version: 10.6.2
✓ Can't get files off iPhoneA useful ap - but I haven't seen any way to get the files off the iPhone. Even simple Aps like this could do with some help..Version: 0
✓ AwfulThis app is absolutely horrific. Constantly freezing and doesn't do what it's supposed to. Don't recommend it to anyone..Version: 11.4
✓ Mailing mpsThe description said I could email small mp3 files, but it only lets me upload the file to their site and mail the html address of the upload to someone. That isn't what I was expecting and I'm not pleased at all. There is a difference in level of security between emailing a file and uploading a file to an unsecure site for download..Version: 0
✓ Absolute rubbishIt does not work! I want my money back!.Version: 10.6.2
✓ Very disapointedBought this stupid app trying to record saved answering machine messages. And I can't record nothing. I want my money refunded. Extremely disappointed. Just a scam.Version: 10.6.2
✓ PantsDon't buy this if you want to record calls it only works int f'in USA Which it dos'nt say in the discription Well hacked off I won't be buying from this outfit again I want my cash back.Version: 0
✓ Phone recording no-goI brought this in hope that it records phone-calls here in NZ, but I was outta luck. Shame :(.Version: 0
✓ Pay to record my call?The app does not state that to use call recording you have to buy time from an call recording company NOT "THE PHONE COMPANY!", the price is 1.99 hour or 12.99 per 12 hours. I need to recall calls to confirm conversations on critical issues and my Nokia did this without issue, even inserted the beep to indicate a recorder call and best it was free..Version: 10.6.2
✓ Call recorderRubbish Does not working. I want back my money..Version: 10.6.2
✓ Unexpectedly underperformingIn a prompt need to buy an app to record a telephone call I purchsed this under the misapprehension it would do so. Sadly I only discovered this lack after purchase so am understandably disappointed. One seems to have to purchase a service after sales, to do this. I feel conned. I thought I hade done enough research but this experience shows how careful you need to be..Version: 0
✓ CustomerNot impressed. It only works in the US. Would have been nice to find out before purchasing it..Version: 10.6.2
✓ Not happy feel ripped offIt does NOT have the option to record phone calls. It is simply a voice recorder. False advertising. Please can I have my money back, or an app that records calls?.Version: 0
✓ RubbishRubbish. Does not work. I want my money back.Version: 10.6.2
✓ It a good appI like this recorder but I have some tips to make it more user friendly: it is easier to use if you flip your iPhone upside down. This allows the record button to be tapped much easier with your thumb, also allows you to talk into the mouth piece and because the speakers are on the bottom of the phone ( ipone flaw ) by flipping it upside down during record and play back it allows the sound to be directed up toward your ears. Perhaps the developer could rework this so that the words would be in the right direction when using it as I suggest. Also it would be nice if the record and stop would change to a different color to help identify which mode you are in at a quick glance. Should be able to do multiple deletes instead of one at a time. Don't get me wrong .... I like this app and I'm going to use it everyday, it is a great buy as is. I just see the potential to be great!.Version: 0
✓ Don't use this to record anything vitalAn average recorder especially if you have no plans to wifi back to your computer. I taped a very important speech that I can see and hear on my iphone, but when i try to sink it (wifi) to my computer, it doesnt appear on the website-it's like it is invisible. I have been trying to contact customer service by email (no phone number is provided). I did receive one email response that did not solve the issue. I sent 2 more emails. There is no phone number to call. I even sent an email to please call me and I have gotten no response. If I ran my company without a real customer support, I'd be out of business. What ever happened to being able to call and speak with a customer support rep? Thumbs down on this one, friends..Version: 0
✓ Don’t downloadThere’s no way to communicate problems I paid $ and can’t use Terrible.Version: 12.0.1
✓ Almost a great appThis app has a lot of potential. It almost lets the iPhone replace yet another device that I haul around with me - the pocket dictaphone. But alas, it doesn't. I often need to take recorded notes in my laboratory, while I work with both hands. Later, these notes are transcribed into the project files. How great to be able to store those notes as a computer file instead of a pile of microcassettes! What another cool thing to do with the iPhone! Unfortunately, there is no way to pause during a recording. I can't sit through an hour of silence, waiting for the notes I need, and I can't use a hundred separate files from a day's work. I'd pay ten times the price if this app had a "pause" button and voice-activated start/stop..Version: 0
✓ Ignore other Aussie postA previous poster said that the 'new version worked in Australia'. Well - the app itself works - but the call recording does not and probably never will..Version: 0
✓ Truly rip off , why don't you make it clear that fir NZ it does nit record callsVery upset , should say that phone recording is not available out of the USA before a new zealander like me buy it for that main reason.Version: 11.3
✓ SCAMDont get this app it said i already had an account when i have never had this app before and it wouldnt let me request my password..Version: 12.0.1
✓ US Only call recording :(I was so excited to see you could record calls with the new update, but its ONLY available to US customers and there is a PAY PER MINUTE FEE!!!!! I would love this feature as I take orders over the phone and when I am driving it would be great to be able to playback the customer ordering rather than have to try and remember it! Very disappointed! It is a great recorder other than that though?.Version: 0
✓ Does record calls, doesn't even have the optionThe person who said it work in australia is a liar as the app doesnt even have the record button when you download it. Don't waist your money doesn't do what is advertised. Totally misleading..Version: 10.6.1
✓ Lost my dataI just downloaded the new update and I lost all of my reorsings!! I'm a musician and songwriter so I just lost 2 months worth of ideas.Version: 0
✓ Three Years of Work... Gone?!I hold out hope that a future version can fix what this version ruined, but the realist in me has started the grieving process. I'm a songwriter who used this app to vocally flesh out ideas, over the course of months or even a year or two. When I boot up the app and find that all my almost-there ideas won't play, I feel like while I thought I was immortalizing fleeting flickers of inspiration to congregate as songs, in actuality I was just corralling lambs for the slaughter. Recorder, fix this—by which I mean save/recover my old files, the outpourings of my muse for the hope of completion and professional recording—and I will give you the five-star review this app deserved before this data-destroyer of an update. But until then, know that this one in a flurry of one-star reviews accurately reflects this back-stabbing iteration of your once-great software..Version: 11.3
✓ Needs more workApp stops as soon as iPhone rings or app screen exited (Stick with the Apple Recorder app already provided). This app is a real disappointment. I saw several reviews that really rated it...now I'm not sure what the reviewers were doing.....Version: 11.4
✓ Horrible app for saving recordingsThe app says it offers to save recordings to emails or sync with wifi. It doesn't work, keeps telling me it is too large a file to sync and save. Not worth using if you can't easily save you memo..Version: 12
✓ There is a better recorder (Voicenotes - free)There is already a way better voice recorder app out there where you can rename you recordings and is free!.Version: 0
✓ Review of Recorder AppThis app description is misleading. The icon suggest it records telephone calls. It DOES NOT, which is misealdy & should have been scrutinised before posting it on App Store. The description claims it emails recordings. It takes ages to post a 2-seconds recordings. Additionally, it emails the recording as a LINK so that the recepient has to click the link to listen to the emailed recording. This is a waste of everyone's time. It does not add anything to Apple standard Voice Memo; in fact the latter's interface is even better..Version: 0
✓ I cannot beleive they charge $$$ for use on an hourly basisI erased it 'cause I'd rather light my money on fire than keep this on my phone. Voice recorder works better and its free..Version: 0
✓ Rubbish.Doesn't work. Don't bother..Version: 11
✓ False RepresentationWish I had read the reviews before purchasing. Simply doesn't work. If it was more money I would hire a lawyer. Buyer beware..Version: 10.6.2
✓ Nice little appyJust what i wanted. simple app to record and save multiple memos. thankyooouuu..Version: 0
✓ Would it be possible to loop a recordingIs it possible to loop a recording so that it plays over and over. If not this would be a great feature! Other than that, it is very simple to use and has most the features you would expect..Version: 0
✓ Must buy app for students!I LOVE THIS APP!! but... I have a view notes to the developer. See, I use this app to record lectures at school. Each lecture is an hour and a half long and I love the fact that you can wifi sync and or email the recording. At the moment you can only email recordings 5 minutes or less. Hopefully this changes in the near future to allow longer recordings to be emailed. Now using wifi sync is the coolest thing since slice bread but it works half the time for me. I can download between 2-30 min recordings 100% of the time. But trying to download at hour and a half long lecture over wifi works half the time. Usually the program quits just when I'm within 30 seconds of finishing the download and the file is not complete. Not sure if this is a Retronyms bug or apple firmware 2.0.2 bug (iphone) but I think its Apple's! =). but besides those two gripes this is my most used app. absolutely worth my dollar!.Version: 0
