AudioNote™ for Negative User Reviews

Good app but problems with PDF exportI like this app. But there’s too many bugs. When you try to convert to a PDF file the text doesn’t copy over on some of the pages although the drawing do but without the written text it’s not helpful.Version: 7.0.3

PoorThe concept is nice but I feel there is something wrong in coding especially in managing files..Version: 4.0.3

NOT voice activatedNot voice activated, for a paid app this is surprising.Version: 4.3.6

Basic not usefulYou need to be able to record multiple pieces of audio and place then next to text….. or type text and be able to record audio that goes with the text and play it back when you press the text selected… having one long recording does not help when you’re trying to use the app for learning a different language and you need to press the words and hear how something is pronounced..Version: 7.0.8

Listening to recordings?Absolute pain in the (...) transferring to laptop from iPhone..wifi doesn't work it seems it just shows you the files but you can't play them....and my laptop doesn't recognise the files either so I have to listen on my phone...great potential but lots to iron out! Can anybody tell me how to play my audio back on my laptop?? Where is the audio note app support?.Version: 2.08.1

Great to use with my disability but...Maybe somethings could be improved on to increase accessibility. Audionote could have; a double confirmation to delete notes because I have accidentally deleted items that I was trying to move to a folder, at least 3 different highlighter colours, blue paper for scotopic sensitivity syndrome and Cornell note system would also be a great addition to add extra info after printing..Version: 4.2.2

Used to be greatI have been using this for years on a daily basis, there was nothing nearly as good as this. I have millions of recordings and now I cannot play them or add any new ones because the app does not work with iOS 16 I have been using this for years on a daily basis, there was nothing nearly as good as this. I have millions of recordings and now I cannot play them or add any new ones because the app does not work with iOS 16. Please update this app ASAP!!!.Version: 7.0.8

Wish it could convert Audio to textI was hoping this app could convert audio to text..Version: 7.0.2

Changes to AudioNote render it uselessSorry to be so mean, but the new-look AudioNote has lost the one feature that was crucial to me as a journalist - being able to see the microphone recording levels. In the layout I now see on my IOS 9.0 Apple iPad, i can no longer watch the dancing level indicator at the top of the screen. So I have no idea how audible the interviews I have recorded on AudioNote are. It did just that brilliantly for me for the past few years, but now I will cast AudioNote to the recording scrap heap, ever so sadly. Let me know if you ever bring back the level indicator. Cheers, Andy Shaw Canadian journalist.Version: 5.2

Now you can pay attention to meetings ...AudioNote is a great simultaneous note taking and recording app that not only syncs words but also provides the time key within the audio recording allowing the user to go directly to that point in the audio record. I have been using the application for months and find it to be extremely useful in being able to listen to meeting conservations instead of missing conversations as you hurriedly try to scribble something down. Keywords, issues can simply be typed in in short format and you can go back to the audio later for the details. That said, there is one glaring problem with the application. AudioNotes are extremely difficult to share. Your other meeting members either must have iPads or the AudioNote version for the Mac. Given that businesses still heavily use PCs (yes, I know, some people and business are slow to pick up on the better tools in life) it is difficult to share your notes with the other PC person. For now, unless a method of sharing notes is developed that is universal, I can not rate the app beyond 4 stars. It would be best to find a method to export these notes easily rather than having to do it via iTunes or WiFi connections..Version: 2.06

Great PotentialPros: 1. Keeps time stamps of notes, and drawings during the recording. 2. In playback mode you can add additional notes and the time these additions are made is accurately reflected. 3. The audio quality is quite good, and much better than Ever note. 4. The design is simple and the application is generally useful. 5. Exporting via email and a simple web interface is very useable. Cons: 1. On the point of aesthetics this application is not very pleasing to the eye, as there are no paper color options. I generally like to see a yellow pad, or maybe a blank page, but this option is not available. 2. No ability to add photos or other media. 3. No auto URL recognition. 4. The scroll buttons on the right hand side are small and not useable. An alternate scroll method should be employed. Summary: Overall if you don't care for aesthetics, add other media feature, or URL recognition this app is solid. I believe it to be one of the more useful note taking applications in the app store, but I still haven't found the one I'm looking for. This app does the job and does it well, with clear audio recordings. It is however a work in progress and I would have liked to see a lower price point for the functionality it currently provides. Perhaps $2 or $3 CAD..Version: 0

Does not workI purchased this app and it indicated that it's downloaded but no sign of it to be on my applications. Searched for it and found an it's icon in my Mac iTunes but cannot open it or use it. The audio note lite app worked perfectely but not this full version one. Very disappointed..Version: 5.3

Nov 18 updateThe app has, on two occasions, saved the the wrong content into newly created files. It appears to have saved a copy of the previous recording under the new recording's name, and not saved the new recording at all. This is a pretty big bug because you risk losing both the notes and recording. Strangely, I can modify and listen to the new recording, even though the saved file (saved to Dropbox and even shared/exported manually) contains the wrong content. This apparent defect is the only thing holding this app back from 5 stars because I (normally) really like it..Version: 5.2

Interrupts loose recordings!!!!Good app except for one glaring problem.... dealbreaker - when you switch apps that use your microphone, which every mobile user does, like a phone call or camera video, even if you’re not taking a video, but camera app when changing photo type (pano, square, video, still) checks for mic availability, it STOPS AUDIONOTE RECORDING AND DOESNT AUTOMATICALLY RESUME! I lost two hours of an important meeting and when I came back to audionote it reset the file from 0:00, didnt even save to the point of interruption Otherwise a good app but you MUST FIX THIS or I wont ever use it again and risk losing recordings. Interruption happen in mobile apps. Just resume recording automatically!.Version: 7.0.8

It's crapI find it to be very unproductive and not very helpful..Version: 3.2.1

Missing textAt first it was dope i use it for taking notes at church but then after writing notes i go back to them and they are missing it is a blank paper but if you touch the paper it shows the word very unsatisfactory as my notes are priceless.Version: 7.0.8

What happened?...It now only works in portrait mode. Why.Version: 7.0.2

Misleading bewareI purchased AudioNote for 17.99 plus tax = $20.15. The app kept asking me to upgrade to AudioNote 2. I did. You end up having AudioNote 2 with non-stop advertising. So now you get a pop up asking you to upgrade to AudioNote Pro 2, which turns out to be by a yearly subscription. When you pay that much for an app, you expect it to work as advertised. Simple. Contacted Apple, but says its not eligible for a refund. Disappointing..Version: 7.0.8

Could use some helpI have been using audionote for about three months now. I generally like working with it. It has not crashed on me at all. I do have two problems with the app, however. The first problem, as others have mentioned, is that there is no way for the app to run in the background (i.e. continue recording) if you need to check for an email or find some other needed information that requires you to temporarily exit the app. Also, I am not able to upload (via the network since my audio files are too big to email) a session where the audio has been stopped and then started (either because the information being discussed is confidential or because a certain part isn't worth recording). This is probably the most troublesome point for me. I am able to listen to it on the iPad, but no one else can get the audio. Fix those two flaws and I will give the app five stars..Version: 1.17

Nice in principle but full of bugsThe basic functions of this app are really useful. Any notes you type while recording (for example a lecture) are time-stamped so you can later get back to that exact point in the recording. The problem comes with the bugs. Several times on my iPad it has crashed when the iPad is put to sleep (though it should go on recording) and the option to take photos and embed them in notes works really badly. Usually the photo just appears at the top of the notes, rather than where you clicked to position it. Taking a photo while recording usually crashes the app in iOS 9, and even taking a photo in Camera and then placing it using Browse often causes the interface to freeze (though at least it goes on recording). No looking for an alternative note taking package that has the time stamp feature..Version: 5.2

Needs a format change to MP3This app would be more versatile if the audio files were playable in other audio formats such as MP3, etc..Version: 5.2

So many bugsBug-filled and no update for over a year. Awful..Version: 7.0.2

Could be betterI like the app and the idea of writing notes while recording. However I would like to be able to export the audio file to any other format at will, like *.mp3 I hope that will be fixing in one o the updates Thank you.Version: 4.0.3

App stopped saving records & notesOtherwise, i used to find it super useful. Lost a couple of important lectures along with all their notes :| Issue introduced a few weeks ago..Version: 7.0.5

Letter size not changing to any larger size afterHey guys Letter size is not changing to any larger size after setting configuration! Its too small cant see why?.Version: 7.0.2

Good concept. Needs more user optionsBeen using to take class notes. The only note taker that can place your audio notes right where u are writing. Some suggestions. 1. Need paper line separation options..The lined paper on my iPad Pro 10.5 is way too small to write in. 2. Pen width options. The ink on my iPad when writing is way to think n wide. This should be an option for users. 3. Pressure sensitivity. The new iPad and pencil have pressure sensitivity. It should be incorporated in here..Version: 7.0.2

Folder StructureGreat app but app folder structure needs improvement. One should be able to modify folder structure after library has contents by using a drag and drop feature..Version: 4.0.3

Great but....Great app but useless if you can't create folders to organize files. And the website is pretty useless, can't contact developer..Version: 4.2.2

Desktop App to compliment the iPad appI sync and save my iPad every evening and save all audio recorded that day onto my Mac. Listening back over the recorded lectures is great from the iPad due to the ease of tracking if you need to locate and listen to a specific part. If like me, you have hours of audio recorded and saved on the Mac, trying to locate a specific location is quite tough from the Mac. If a desktop application could be downloaded to work alongside and compliment the iPad app then this would be perfect (for me). I have hours of recorded audio, at 25Mb per hour, that quickly becomes quite large (hence my preference to save onto a Mac and then delete and free up some space on the iPad). Audio quality is good enough for me, and the note taking text and drawing ability is nice and simple (although I still prefer to use old fashioned pen and paper!!). I only use this app to record audio and listen back from my Mac to beef out my 'paper' notes. For the price of a pint of beer it's worth it, but would happily pay more if the desktop functions were cranked up a little. Oh, and mp3 format would also be great. Listening to recordings on iPod would then be possible (I don't think you currently can??)..Version: 0

Don't use this appUpdating the iPad software wiped out all my audio files! Very disappointing!.Version: 3.2.0

Mistakenly thought this converted voice to notes with the original voice kept withMistakenly thought this converted voice to notes with the original voice kept with it. That’s not the case. For what it does do, I think it’s over priced and I wish I could take my purchase back. Wasted money..Version: 7.0.2

Great idea, needs refinementI think AudioNote is a great idea. However, in my experience, it still needs some work. In my experience, the main problem is that the device does not register well with iPad screen touches. Thus, attempts to input commands commonly don't work until you try several times. For me, this seems to hold true whether I use a stylus or my finger. I am using this on an iPad mini. For that device some of the buttons are too small for the end of my fingers. Thus, again, input often fails. The idea to have audio notes linked to specific elements on a note page is excellent. However, in my experience it is often difficult to get this to work correctly. In total, I really like the idea of AudioNote. However I find it frustrating to use at this time. Consequently, I can only give it three stars at this time..Version: 3.1.2

Camera bug?So far I like this app, but I was only able to take one photo. Now when I try to insert a photo by using the camera option I get a white screen that I can’t get out of unless I close the app..Version: 7.0.6

Files OverlapI have this app on my older iPad mini (version 9.3.5) and it is great. However, on my newer iPad mini 4 the list of lectures overlap each other in enormous font and I can’t find and tap on the one I want to listen to. So I uninstalled it which meant losing everything. I then reinstalled it again, but after recording a few new discourses it still is doing the same thing. Why does it work perfectly on one device but is such a disappointment on the newer one? Can it be fixed?.Version: 7.0.2

Worked well until last bug fix!!I've used this app to record lecture notes and interviews. Recently I needed to transcribe interviews. But now wish I hadn't used this app as it keeps crashing whilst I am playing back!!! It is taking me at least 4 times as long to do the task!!! Please sort it out ASAP as I had recommended this app to friends!!! Won't be doing so if the problem continues!!!!.Version: 6.0

MartyThis app can't open it's own file type ???? I upload a file to dropbox from my iPad and your app doesn't even appear in the open in list when I try to open it on my iPhone or iPad now come on guys what's going on an app that can't open it's own file type ????????? it's bad enough you pick the most incompatible file type there is but your own app even open it's own files from cloud storage ? Crap.Version: 2.06

Unable to access my notes or recordingsThis app will not allow me to look at past notes or even create new ones. When I hit the pencil icon it will shut the app down. When I try to access past notes I tap on screen and nothing opens it stays on the same screen.Version: 7.0.8

Pretty goodDoes a lot of things well. Even better: how about sorting the notes - by title, date saved, size, tags, something! Currently, each folder is a junk drawer - no system, and the more notes you write, the harder it gets to find them later..Version: 4.0.3
