Audio Memos for Negative User Reviews
✓ "Features" cost $6.99 + 0.99The lite version was alright so I upgraded to the full version for 99 cents after being lured in by the promises of file compressibility, changing the play speed, etc. I felt ripped off once I discovered that my 99 cents simply bought me the ability to pay for each of the features individually - i felt like they should have disclosed this in the description of the app. The app itself is alright, but I would not have paid for it if i had known this beforehand..Version: 0
✓ Distortion every time!This app which I bought will be going straight to the trash as the sound quality is really lousy. Whoever created this is a thieving shyster and it's no wonder you don't publish any reviews on the current version— no one would buy it.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Needs AttentionI have purchased the options with my version. On deleting many items the app locks up and you need to close and restart. The delete and keep buttons need to be named correctly..Version: 4.7.3
✓ HorriblyIt use to work perfectly until a few months ago. Spent a lot of time trying to fix Now it’s glitchy and freezes and completely does not work.Version: 5.1.0
✓ Doesnt work on my iPhone 3GSMy advice is try the Free one first and make sure that works for you. I bought this and it keeps feezing all the time and I lose my memos. I've abandoned use altogether but the app is probably excellent if it happens to work on your device. It doesnt work on mine. Support did try to help but couldn't because I don't sync with iTunes so I couldn't send them the crash reports they wanted ( I don't have a Pc or mac) I'm sure this would be a good app if it happens to work for you..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Used to be able to actually extract audioNow it doesn’t work on iphone x. Have had this app for over 5 years. Cannot edit audio anymore. Only giving 3 stars because it has worked well in the past but definitely not now..Version: 4.9.0
✓ If not connected to internet??I was meant to record an important conversation yesterday. I've used the app in the past and worked well so confident to repeat the experience I push the same buttons but with one caveat (I set the phone in fly mode in order to avoid calls or email or interruptions) immediately I saw a notification that the app couldnt connect to internet (I thought, whatever... I don't need to send anything anywhere, all is save in my phone and there was about 1Gb of space) the long story short, all looked fine with sound bar moving as it does while recording but. 1 hr later... Nothing was there!!! Frustrating to say the least..Version: 4.1.0
✓ No Bluetooth and no description of subscriptions availableI got this app because it, at one time, offered Bluetooth mic support. It apparently does not anymore. There are two higher levels of subscriptions available, and there are apparently extensions available, but nowhere to find out the details of those subscriptions and what I’m getting or to find a list of extensions. What a waste. It’s also rather difficult to navigate..Version: 4.9.3
✓ I feel cheated...I had idea that all those features mentioned for the full video were extensions that you had to buy separately. You guys made it out like you pay $1 and get this really nice sound record app. So in actual fact, your asking to pay $10 for such a simple app. That is $5 more than the other app I was considering... Can I have my $1 back...?.Version: 3.1.6
✓ Not too badVery basic and require additional payment to get all the function. Probably it only can describe as iPhone voice recording + support USB.Version: 0
✓ Do not buyApple Watch component doesn't work.. Waste of money..Version: 4.4.0
✓ TypicalJust the typical direction the world is going, used to get all these features in there older versions now you have to pay for every single feature. Greedy....Version: 4.7.5
✓ Sending LimitYou say 15mb, your software disagrees with you, it says 500kb.Version: 3.1.4
✓ Apple Watch s2 recording failsI got this app to record memos using Apple Watch S2, the recorded memos were synced to the iPhone but the playback fails..Version: 4.7.3
✓ They forgot to mentionYou have to buy all these features separately ! very cheesy !.Version: 0
✓ No features included.I wanted the merge feature that is not available on the default voice memo- and looking at the description, the app stated it could do. Guess what? it can , only if I pay more. This is unethical app marketing and that is exact reason I am marking it as one star. If you were honest and upfront about £7.something for all the add on purchases then I may have brought the app anyway. sneaky..Version: 4.4.0
✓ No customer serviceMemos dissapeared or not opening. Lack of customer service instead a long list of choices which lead nowhere..Version: 5.0.6
✓ Good app but can't sent to my emailI use the free version which does not allow users to send records when they are too large, so I usually upload to my laptop. Now I can't do this, so I pay for the full version. Still cannot send the previous records :( so disappointing.Version: 4.5.3
✓ Poor quality soundI am sorry I paid for this App, the sound is very poor quality. Even with the add on's. A quick search of the web shows I am not the only one with this problem..Version: 3.1.6
✓ Good, but......after buying the photos add-on here is what I can and can not do: - You can join one or several photos to a recording, BUT... - When you play a recording within the app, the photos are not displayed (BIG minus) - You can email a recording with photos and the recipient will be able to see only the last photo of it while playing the recording. All other photos will be sent as attachment to the email. I was totally expecting that the playback would show all photos at the timestamp that they were added, at least when played IN THE APP..Version: 4.4.0
✓ No longer greatMy mainstay note taker for a decade. Stupidly I succumbed to an update. Now the play and record function is erratic. Good bye Audio Memos!.Version: 4.9.4
✓ Audio memosImpossible to send by email Neither the creators imestar or Apple supporters have been helpful to fix the problem Dr F Gorodzinsky 519 672 4051.Version: 4.6.1
✓ BadNo longer attached files. Unusable..Version: 4.5.3
✓ Emailing memosRecords fine but from an iPad you only have one simple way to share your recordings and that is via email. For me - useless until I can send a memo the modern way- email. Fix it I will be happy!.Version: 3.1.4
✓ Used to be amazing. Now very buggy.Been using this for years and it used to be a great tool. Now buggy as heck - can’t pause recordings. Can’t restart them If they do pause. It’s all intermittent and makes a proper mess of taking field notes. Hope it can be fixed - it really was brilliant..Version: 5.0.3
✓ GarbageNot overly user friendly, I'm pretty good and patient with this stuff but this one was particularly difficult. Didn't realize how much more I had to buy to get options. Maybe I misread the description but I thought it was going to come with a lot more than the free version. Sadly the biggest perk to spending the 2 bucks was that you can buy more options... My chief concern was that the quality of the play back was AWEFUL. I made a 30 minute interview recording that sounds like garbage. Despite an hour of playing with settings I couldn't make my recording understandable. Smaller recordings sound ok at best but the longer the recording gets the worse the quality becomes. Maybe there is a way to fix my problems in settings but again, I ran out of patience and got another free app that works perfectly..Version: 4.6.1
✓ Good quality recordingsI use this to record lessons for language students then send recordings by email to students. Some students recieve recordings and have no problems opening them. Others seem to have problems either receiving them or opening them. I don't know why. On the whole, it's a great app but I too would like to be able to put recordings into folders for easier retrieval..Version: 3.0.1
✓ A questionIs it possible to record via regular mic on my phone while playing sound back through my bluetooth headphones? The only way I could find to record using the mic on my phone was to set it to use internal hardware, but then when I play it back, it plays through my phone speakers. If I turn this off, it automatically records via bluetooth. It seems there should be a way to record via the internal mic, while playing it back via my bluetooth headphones. If not, please fix this. Also, voice activation isn't great. It cuts off the beginning parts of words..Version: 5.0.4
✓ What changed?The app hands between new recordings. Very frustrating!.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Updated it and now it doesn’t workThe bluetooth feature seems to have an issue on the new version. It doesn't work in the car or earphones..Version: 4.8.6
✓ SipeIt is early good.Version: 3.1.6
✓ Good but needs attentionI made an important recording for about 30 minutes, when I stopped it started compressing. After about 5 minutes I saw the recording was deleted. So I lost a very important recording. I hope this is fixed as I paid nearly £7 for all the extensions.Version: 2.81
✓ It has Some major problemsSeems good at first but has some problems. Some of my memos become terribly distorted after a lot of editing. Uploaded new version and lost all the extras I,d paid for. There is a bug in the update that means you lose the tool bar when you high speed scrub. You then need to soft restart the iPad. Please fix this ASAP as its a hassle. Otherwise this is the best voice memo for iPad I can find. Still needs some work though..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Lost my in-app purch when upgradingIt was great until the upgrade...lost 2 stars I use it for recording band rehearsals, and it worked great, especially now they seem to have improved the ff/rw function (not so jumpy).Version: 4.1.0
✓ Fix the crash.I recorded a 3 hour lecture, and the app crashed on me. I shouldnt have paid for something that didn't work. The idea of digging out trash files is really smart, but hey, I can't find the most important thing that I just recorded. Thumbs down..Version: 3.0.0
✓ Talk about a Scam...I am extremely disappointed about what the Audio Memo development team has done to its customers. To me, they have miss-represented their product and deceived customers. I will be opening a case with Apple and hopefully get their license to sell through iTunes revoked. One of two things happened and i don't know which one is worst. That Audio Memo advertised a product with certain features but are not completely transparent with the customers letting them know that some of those features are "trials" and will expire at a certain point in time? Or that Audio Memo sells its product with those features, then changed its mind releasing a new version, which everyone is going to download, only to find out that some of the features that actually made a determining factor on you choosing this product have been removed without letting you know and that you have to pay more money if you want them? if younare reading these comments.... DO NOT buy this product. They have actually removed features of the product that were originally in the paid version. There is no telling what they would do going forward to get you to buy the product only to come back at a later time and update it with one that has less features....Version: 3.1.1
✓ Extensions disappearedI bought the app which at the time came with the extensions included. There has been an update since and all extensions vanished and I cannot seem to restore them. I use them but am not going to pay 6.99 to buy them again. I like the app though so please put them back. Thanks..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Audio MemosGreat app with clear recording & play back. Unfortunately files are too large to use the email function.Version: 3.1.6
✓ Not worth the priceTerrible program, and if you want to sent or edit it or anything else, it additional prices. I wanted it as a business app, however I wouldn't recommend it to no one, Notability is a way better program. Wasted money for something I will never use..Version: 4.1.1
✓ MehGreat recorder, does the job, but keeps on stopping when in other windows, and multi tasking. Didn't used to do that. It's very annoying. Reason why I paid for the app in the first place. so I can multi-task. But now, I can't even do that. Please fix issue!.Version: 4.1.4
✓ Good app but a scamThis app has a great concept but the amount of purchases you have to buy in the app is unreasonable, I got this for 59p and thought the recording was quite good but then realized I had to spend another 59p to be able to email it and then the file was to big with half and hour recording and had to spend £1.19 to be able to compress it to be able to send. I didn't buy the compressor and I'm deleting this app because you need to spend about £5 for it to be useful. I do not recommend.Version: 0
✓ MrGreat quality recording. It would be great to be able to send recordings to pc/mac or to iTunes as big files are too hard to upload or email.Version: 3.1.2
✓ Ne peut étre envoyerDécus, je croyais pouvoir envoyer mon enregistrement, étant donner qu'il dise qu'avec la version payante tu peux envoyer des enregistrements plus gros mais non....Version: 3.1.4
✓ What happened to Pause???Just upgraded. Am I dreaming, or why does pause suddenly mean playback? It's maddening and disruptive. When I hit pause I expect SIlence. And I don't want to be asked if I want to overwrite, etc etc etc. No I don't. I wnt to continue where I left off. That is what pause is supposed to mean. This is very confusing and we risk losing data. Very BAD upgrade!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ No bt recordingWas under the impression this offered the ability to record from Bluetooth. Why is that gone? Useless app for me. Want a refund..Version: 4.9.4
✓ Can’t send in iMessageNeed to be able to send with iMessage. Not supported currently..Version: 4.8.1
✓ Garbage....junk....what a wasteDoesn’t work....pure scam.Version: 4.8.5
✓ Very limited functionalityYes you can record but you cannot edit. So if you accidentally leave the memo record on, it will use up all the space on your iPad.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Was fine, what happened?When I first got this app, I used it a lot and appreciated the ease of use and sharing across iPad and iPhone. The audio quality was good, as long as you remembered to adjust it to best in the app settings. But in the last few weeks the audio is awful! This is on both iPhone and iPad. Everything is horribly distorted and muddy, like it's getting too much signal. And this despite trying various different settings. Nothing seems to make any difference now and the app is unusable. Going back to the iPhone native app, I immediately noticed the difference in audio quality. So it's back to Apple's own for me..Version: 4.1.2
✓ Additional fees to transfer recordings - rip offI bought this paid app (not the free version) because it enabled me to record a series of interviews I was conducting for my masters degree. After completing the first interview and synchronising with Dropbox the app was "upgraded" and now I can't transfer any recordings off my iPad without paying further add-on fees! What a rip off - as other reviewers have said, there are alternative apps out there which are trustworthy; what's next with Audio Memos, charging to playback your own recordings? Avoid..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Crappy qualityIos7's built-in voice memo records audios in way more better quality..Version: 4.0.0
✓ FlummoxedUsed the free app for small recordings with no issues, then recorded a file about an hour in length so was forced to upgrade. Not a problem with it bring only 69 pence but I've been unable to move the files between the two apps like the description suggested. Select Dropbox or Audi memos and nothing happens, its very annoying and wondering if this has happened to anyone else?.Version: 3.1.2
✓ UnreliableJust finished a 30 minute interview with a historian. Hit save, memo is gone!! Don't trust!!!.Version: 4.6.1
✓ Bought it for the Bluetooth mic optionDoesn’t show up.Version: 4.9.1
✓ Very limited basic versionAnnoyingly I rushed to buy this assuming it would be better than the builtin memo. Problem is, I didn't check to see that to get this to have reasonably functionality I would need to buy other in-app purchases. I can't be bothered to figure all this out and 6.99 would be a lot to shell out on a bit of a whim. It might be good, but I can't see it and don't want to invest more on this one..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Audio memoOn ne peut pas le faire reculer de quelques secondes seulement, lorsqu'on recule avec la barre c'est difficile de le reculer d'un court laps de temps..Version: 3.1.5
✓ Great App, but feel cheated. APPLE please note!First off, this is or WAS a great app. No doubt about it. The developers are to be congratulated. However, I bought the app with the stated functionality. A subsequent 'update' has removed this functionality. I must now repurchase the functionality that I'd previously paid for. May be wrong but surely this breaks contractual law? This practice may be widespread. If so, Apple need to put some clearer processes in place to ensure that 'downgrade' updates are very clearly labelled as such..Version: 3.1.2
✓ Having new problems saving recordingI used to be able to record, press done then add a name. Twice now when I do that the recording disappeared. I’ve also lost one I had named before hitting done. What’s happening???.Version: 4.8.7
✓ No Bluetooth functionalityBought this app for Bluetooth recording using the iPhone video app. No longer available in the app. Very disappointed..Version: 5.0.3
✓ Was good... not now! But fixable error!As last review... It was such a great app before the changes... I used it for over a year with no problem until recently... I used to see my recordings as I plug into iTunes & can be saved onto PC straight away... Only takes few mina to transfer like 10/20 files.... But now transferring is such a PAIN IN THE BOTTUM!!! 1st u gotta select ur file in app> select send> select send to iTunes> wait for it to create a copy?! In order for u to see in iTunes?! (I notice this coz every file I sent...it take up memory... Which is a completely idiotic system) > only then u can copy it onto the PC... Not yet done! > then u hv to delect the useless copy on the list otherwise it will just sit there taking up space for no good reason!!! U must be thinking why hv I got so much time to type all these? It because... This FREAKING thing!!! iTunes took 10mins for the delect confirmation option to come up... DISAPPOINTED! Dear developer~ please freaking fire the person thought of this change & fix it real soon~ Thank you for attention :).Version: 3.0.2
✓ The app is good butThis app works very well but they put the most basic features behind a paywall. It’s a joke when selecting multiple items needs a subscription.Version: 5.0.6
✓ DO NOT BUY THIS APPLICATION UNTIL YOU READ THISThe screen views of this ap;plication do not reflect what you are getting. This sneaky and unethical programmer is not telling you that the features listed have to be purchased separaelt as add on plug ins. So you will not find voice activation, and all hte other advertised features. The software by itself iis no better than all the other applications offered for free. In fact many of the free ones have more features than this one. Shame on you rip off artist..Version: 2.81
✓ MrOnly purchased upgrade to enable file upload, but system is very difficult to use. Not recommended unless you are happy with your memos being trapped on your system.Version: 4.1.2
✓ Freezes. Doesn’t send. Records but doesn’t play.Why does this app not send. I’ve set it up to automatically send. Many times I record a talk only to discover that it has nothing in the audio record. It shows the MB’s but plays nothing. Other times I attempt to copy it from a wav file to a m4a file and get a msg that it couldn’t do it. Why??? Very unhappy with this app..Version: 5.2.1
✓ I bought it to work on Apple WatchAnd IT DOES NOT!!! I WANT A REFUND!.Version: 4.9.0
✓ Try before you don’t buyIPhone app is critically flawed and shuts down for no reason. When you press record it will start recording then stop immediately and you’ll have to try again. Playback buttons must be pressed several times to work (or their active surface is way too small) The slide to delete previous recordings has the same problem. Apple Watch app works well except after recording you must press a tiny “Done” button and then it brings up the file you just recorded for review before syncing to iPhone. You must press done again to continue negating the convenience of having the app on a watch. Spend the 4.99 for Just Press Record if you need a voice memo app for anything reliable or work related. Don’t buy this one..Version: 4.8.7
✓ Audio MemosUpgrade promo in the free version promised many features. But when I bought the upgrade, this version, I find the many features are all seperate add-ons you have to pay for. That is deceptive advertising. I think the producers of this software should look again at how it is promoted, listing so many features which are not in the software but only in the add-ons. Performance is untested but will probably be as good as the free version..Version: 0
✓ Hoping will be back to 5* with updatesThis app had it all till iOS sometime early 2022. Features used to be able to be restored after iOS updates, but variable speed playback has sadly disappeared. I use(d) this to help learn difficult music and desperately hope the feature returns before I seek another app. If it does I promise to revise to 5 stars!.Version: 5.0.6
✓ Why not recorded in MP3 format?Kind of disappoint about the recording format, wav or m4a not mp3. Why not mp3 as default format?.Version: 4.8.1
✓ FrustratedAfter updated the app, can't choose format. WAV is the only choice! I need more options!.Version: 3.1.5
✓ It was very good and reliable but...I would happily give it a 5 star rating if it went back to working the way it did before recent updates. I can’t tell if its the iPhone update or this, but I can no longer record music rehearsals because the gain is not adjustable and the sound is so quiet and many moments are distorted. I suspect it might be an ios problem, but regardless if you want this for recording loud-ish band practice, you’ll have to find another way... unless you fix it, please!!.Version: 4.9.1
✓ Scream!!!I bought the compression extension and got no support. I’m tired of spending money and getting nothing..Version: 4.8.5
✓ PatheticAfter using the free trial app I upgraded to the pro app and was really happy. However, since the update and all the removal of the additional sliders, bookmarks etc that I paid for in the first place, I now have to pay more money to get those assets back! So what have I paid for in the first place, I might as well have stuck with my free app. Really is pathetic for what was a good app. Wouldn't recommend if you don't want to be done over..Version: 3.1.4
✓ Change of appI loved this app when I bought it but they have changed the app AFTER I bought it. When I bought it, you could send the audios to places like Dropbox etc and now you have to pay for that extension. I don't think it is right to change it for people who have already bought it. Now it is of no use to me and I refuse to pay more for the extension as the feature I am looking for should be included..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Glitch alertIf you use a bluetooth keyboard with an ipad, don't download the latest version of this app: the update means the play, stop and rewind controls on the keyboard no longer work on the app. This glitch ruined a perfectly good productivity tool that had previously been a joy to use and worked smoothly with the standard Apple bluetooth keyboard. If the developer reads this, please get cracking on a patch..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Formerly great, now useless.This app was the best and simplest dictation app on the go. However it is now so buggy it is unreal. It routinely starts to record from halfway through an ongoing memo, overwriting and losing stuff already dictated. Eg you dictate 5 mins worth and then go to add more, and it will commence recording from 3 mins into the tape causing data to be lost. Awful and unusable..Version: 5.0.8
✓ No distortionI've been using it to record band practice sessions. It's very good because even though the music is loud, it records without distortion, maybe this is due to the ipad's built-in mic. I can record over 2 hours worth of rehearsals without interruption and it still records in the background while I view my song sheets in another app on the ipad. A couple of things could make it better. I find it difficult to navigate to the right location during playback, it is not precise enough, and I would like to be able to edit and chop up the recording into smaller parts, i.e. extract each song rehearsed while discarding discussions between songs. Perhaps this feature exits and I haven't discovered it yet..Version: 3.0.4
✓ Does not work with a blue tooth microphoneI bought this to use with a blue tooth microphone or output of another phone. This app does not have that ability..Version: 4.9.4
