Manque important point de vue pratiqueIl serait impératif de pouvoir enregistrer certains appels téléphoniques. Après avoir vécu dans une relation toxique et dangereuse pour ma santé, je vis du harcèlement et même après avoir mentionné que les appels étaient enregistrés, croyant que cet application pouvait me sauver, je continue de recevoir sans cesse des attaques, harcèlement et acharnement. Je dois cumuler les preuves car je vis un cauchemar, j’avais confiance en cet application jusqu’au moment où je recherchais les enregistrements audio des appels que je ne trouvais aucunement, l’enregistreur fonctionne jusqu’au moment de décrocher l’appareil. Très déplorable et bas de gamme.Version: 1.8.3

DictaphoneVraiment difficile à faire fonctionner. Il se crée de nouveaux dossiers et incapable de le répartir de l’endroit où on était..Version: 1.8.3

No different from the default mic app on IOSIt doesn’t hold your place. Sometimes it just randomly skips back to the beginning - v frustrating! Especially when it turns to the lock screen, you re-open your phone and it will skip back. 15 second back or forth would be a useful function... Expandable timeline for longer clips would also be useful... Point markers for longer clips anyone - yes please! Larger timeline so it’s easier to click on etc etc... Not difficult to implement I’m sure, but not available..Version: 1.7.1

Ol MateAwsum.Version: 1.7.1

Arbitrarily stops recordingI’ve used this for years and it’d been 5 stars until recently. Unfortunately in the last week or so it’s began to routinely stop recording out of nowhere when I haven’t wanted it to. It’s reached the point where I’m unable to use it. If they fix this bug it’s 5 stars. Until then it completely fails for its purpose..Version: 1.7.1

Big ad banner in the middle of the screenWould be a good app but there's a huge banner advertisement right across the screen ... Worse thing ever.Version: 1.2

Pretty Good AppReally good for recording long lectures, great for personal use with headphones. Would be even better if you could send them via e-mail without it taking 52 separate emails because the file is ‘too big’, and if it didn’t sometimes randomly stop recording 1 minute in to a 50 minute lecture with no warning. Would still recommend if you don’t mind checking your phone every 5 minutes to see if its still recording.Version: 1.7.1

Although…When you record and stop but can’t easily navigate to save one recording by separating it from the next recording and where’s the share? Will update review for the better once we can figure this stuff out..Version: 1.8.2

High Quality. Pesky Dialogs.Several reviewers have mentioned The fact that the app has a pop-up that frequently asks the user to rate the app. I think that’s why the overall rating for the app is as low as it is. If I haven’t already found another app, I will purchase this one when this is fixed..Version: 1.7.1

Multiple upgrades needed for it to be functional.Why do I need to upgrade in order to send the file??? Why do I need to upgrade AGAIN to be able to grip the recording. Really- just make it paid to begin with, or only offer the pro upgrade. If I knew every add on was a-la-Carte, I would have spent $5 just to avoid the hassle..Version: 1.8.1

File sizeOnly allows me to email small dictation by 9 separate emails.Version: 1.7.7

Can’t forwardI like this app but would like to share my dictations for when my husband is not in church with me. Please make this feature easier..Version: 1.6

Does not work as it shouldI bought this for recording notes as I inspect my apiary. I had hoped to use with my Bluetooth headset. Unfortunately enabling the headset causes feedback because it doesn’t seem to turn off the phones speaker. Also seems to have problems if it can’t detect either a cell connection or a Wi-Fi connection..Version: 1.8.0

Everything useful is an extra costI just wanted to make a short note to send back to my self against music playing from my other phone. Released the share option was £1.79, thanks but no thanks.Version: 1.8.2

MisleadingNo free lunch.Version: 1.8.2

Beware of the addsAnother APP that has adds that you need to spend 0.99c to remove then. This isn’t good for a business APP as so distracting while using it.Version: 1.1

Dictaphone Enregistreur AudioJ’ai été obligé de payer deux fois, pour pouvoir envoyer mes enregistrements par courriel..Version: 1.8.0

GoodWould be better if the free version has an option to email or send recordings. The dragging forwards/backwards etc. trying to get to certain points is a bit fiddly. Could be more user friendly. All in all a good app for what you pay for it (free)..Version: 1.7.3

“Free” app is unusable nonsenseTried dictaphone. Figured I’d upgrade it as required. Made a thirty minute dictation. When I went to listen to it, I realIzed there isn’t even a pause button or scroll control. All you can do is play or stop-and-fully-rewind. Give me a break, their free version isn’t even skeletal, it’s emaciated. Basically you’ve taken my dictation and held it hostage unless I pay you a 1.99 so I can download it to something useful. Real garbage. And not at all a reasonable implementation of free-with-paid-Add-ons. Deleted..Version: 1.6

Recorded file disappearedDear ALON Sotware Ltd I recorded a precious conversation Q&A with my dad however to my surprise the file has disappeared from the app. I decided to purchase the premium version however still unfound to date. If someone can assist I’d much appreciate. Thanks Mirko - Perth, Western Australia..Version: 1.8.0

Buyer BEWAREIt is not user friendly. It’s not easy enough to upload to a Social Media or Podcast Account. Your asked to purchase inside NO ADS then not able to transfer what YOU dictate for the reason you purchased the app! Another rip off!.Version: 1.6

It’s awful!!!You can’t even share a recorded voice!!! Really?! What did you think when you decided to put “sharing option” in pro edition?!.Version: 1.8.1

Can’t do anything with filesWhile the app is free, you have to pay $2.79 to be able to send the file anywhere. It’s completely useless unless you only want to listen to the file in the app..Version: 1.8.0

Rewind/overwrite/edit functionality is fiddly and poorly implementedI paid for this full version of the app having tried the free version The main thing I was after was after was the ability to edit recordings, either on the go or later, so that I can dictate and re-compose as I go Unfortunately this app really isn't that good for this purpose, which I feel should be core functionality in a dictaphone. It can do these things - it even supports both overwriting and inserting - but to do so is fidily, time consuming and requires a lot of concentration - not intuitive at all and after several weeks of use it hasn't got much easier. It absolutely always ruins the flow of dictation and composition for me, and is a million miles from the ease with which this can be done on an old fashioned dictaphone. It's a shame as the app is generally well produced with lots of other good features. If you only ever need to record and rarely go back on yourself or need to make any changes then you'll be fine. But for those wanting a replacment for a tradional dictaphone in their smartphone I can't recommend you spend your money on this app in the current form. An improved GUI and it could be perfect..Version: 1.7.1

So soI've reviewed this because it's starting nagging me after every recording.I realise they rely on reviews so fair enough. Unfortunately is rate it much less highly than I would have a couple of days ago . When it works it is superb and plenty of ways to share files but recently it's become more hit and miss and occasionally I press the record button and it looks like it's recording my bringing up the mic icon but then doesn't. It has also crashed a few times and I had to uninstall and reinstall because it started recording at wrong speed. So basically, interface and functionality brilliant but reliability, not so much..Version: 1.6

Insufficient ControlsThis particular app drove me mad. I recorded something important and wanted to transcribe some of the information. But I could not stop and start the recording as I went along. Each time I stopped the recording to write something and started it again, it went back to the beginning! This was really annoying as the whole recording is nearly an hour long..Version: 1.7.3

Very poorVery poor.Version: 1.8.1

User manualUser interface is only mildly user friendly. In the app, go to the section called “About” and you will find a link that lets you download a user app. Developers otherwise will have you believe all you get to guess is their web page high level descriptions of the functions and some you tube apps with front end ads. Generally guys, you need someone to help you run your business. You’ll do better if can get that!.Version: 1.8.2

Poor export functionalityAirdrop only exports to 3rd party apps that you have to download? You can’t export to iTunes or Voice Memos? Exporting to various drop box or Cloud apps or FTP isn’t useful. It’s pointless having a great recorder if you can’t use the files outside the app?.Version: 1.8.4

ABSOLUTE RUBBISHI will be surprised if they allow my review to be visible but here goes. This is a warning to all who want to use this app for business. Do no. Don’t rely on it working effectively as it doesn’t. Despite my asking support for help which has gone unanswered I found that not one but twice I have pressed the record button to tape committee meetings it hasn’t recorded the conversation. It happened again today!! I made sure several times that it was recording and it appeared it was. It is only after the meeting was finished and I went to press the stop button did I realize it hadn’t actually recorded a whole hours worth of a meeting. Be wary. Be very very wary..Version: 1.7

Pay to share recordsPaying to share the files it’s not good, i wish i found this out before getting this app... now i find myself forced to pay. Not recommended, use somrthing else, there’s better around..Version: 1.7.1

Can’t exportAs good as other similar apps in the store but with this one you can’t export the files to anywhere (including your iCloud or computer) unless you pay. I find that dishonest. There are free versions that don’t trap you and your recordings..Version: 1.6

AnnoyingThis dictaphone is ok in terms of sound quality but is really annoying in that I can’t just scroll back a few seconds while listening to a recording. They should at least have -15 seconds playback. I end up popping back minutes behind, it’s especially bad on the small iPhone that I use, and I have to rehear the annoying voice a professor I interviewed, over and over. Also, the dictaphone app is continuously heckling me about giving it a rating, so I finally did.Version: 1.6

Sharing is caringIt would be a lot nicer if I was able to share as a text message.Version: 1.8.2

Nothing specialI was looking for a hands free recorder for my phone. You know, open with my Bluetooth, initiate recording using Bluetooth buttons, stop recording using Bluetooth buttons. While driving or walking or whatever. This app advertises itself as hands free. There is nothing hands free about this app, other than it eliminates picking up a pencil and paper to record notes. LIKE EVERY OTHER VOICE RECORDER EVER MADE..Version: 1.6

Utter crapApp has been begging me for a review so here it is. Impossible to export recordings out of the app. The world would be a better place without this in it..Version: 1.7.4

Keeps CrashingIt's been crashing the past few weeks! Please fix or refund me my money I spent..Version: 1.7.1

Ok, but can’t rewind or fast forwardLove the quality of recording on this! So frustrated that there is no rewind or fast forward with this app! I use this for my college classes so I can listen to them again. There are times when I miss something and want to rewind, but I have to start at the beginning. Very frustrating!.Version: 1.6

Ne pas téléchargerIl faut payer pour exporter les enregistrements!!.Version: 1.6

Not practicalCannot export recordings.Version: 1.8.4

Simple interfaceThis is a simple interface and works fine for recording notes and playing back your recordings..Version: 1.8.0

A bit buggyThe recording part was smooth, quality of the sound is great. But when you are trying to listen, bugs appear and experience becomes unbearable. It’s really hard to find a spot in the recording that you need, tapping on the audio progress bar is challenging, fast-forward and back buttons don’t work. Here’s another bug: when phone goes to screen saver and after a while you pause it from the locked screen, if you go back and unlock it, and then unpause it in the app - the recording will start not from the place you paused it last, but from some other much earlier time. I wrote it in hopes that someone will fix it, please do!.Version: 1.6

Problems with sending filesIn extended version still have problems in sending files.Version: 1.8.0

Not too happyI have recent added a passcode lock but unfortunately now I can’t log back in, is not bringing out the keypad to type other than this sign - - - -. Is really annoying. I have turned my phone off and on, is still the same issue. Does anyone knows how to go about this? Pls help!.Version: 1.7.9

Could be so much betterAt first I was enjoying using this app when I just had about four audio files, but as I added more it was difficult to find the one that was the latest one they do not save in a specific order it’s quite random and this is quite annoying..Version: 1.7.1

Essai microJe veux écouter mon entegistrrment.Version: 1.8.2

Dictaphone does the job.Found this dictaphone picks up every background sound. Generally the play back quality is very good and clear. Have found on playback the app drops out a number of times. When you go back into the app the recording does not start where it dropped out. It starts from the beginning again which is frustrating when trying to finalise minutes and the recording runs up to 60 minutes. Fast forwarding the playback doesn’t always work. The app drops out and I am having to go back to the start of the recording again. I was hoping dictaphone would save me time with minutes but it’s taken a lot longer due to the drop outs..Version: 1.7.2

BruhU need to f* pay to share files. Awesome.Version: 1.8.1

Used to work wellI use it to record training events. It used to record the whole event often a couple of hours. It is now next to useless as the recording stops after 15 minutes or half an hour. I have no idea why it started doing this and I can’t find any information or help that would rectify the problem.Version: 1.8.2

Can’t use the recordingsI physically can’t access them or export them. I have no way to use the recordings I have already. If I’m mistaken I’ll change the review but for now I can’t use them so it is a bad app for recording audio.Version: 1.7.8

ScamHolds your data hostage, pretty much a scam..Version: 1.8.3

Not badI’m still getting used to it, so not the best time for a review, but I got sick of your messages hassling me to do a review!.Version: 1.8.0
