Ratings and reviews

This app was great, until an update that moved the location where recordings are stored to the app-private folder, blocking the app from being able to access any prior recordings. Supposedly it was a requirement to support Android 15, but that's not true because there are other recording apps with "full Android 15 support" that save recordings in a normal, user-selectable folder. So if the developer can't be bothered to make the app fully work on A15, I can't be bothered to keep using it.

CAREFUL! It used to be my only go to recorder. Was the best... paid for Pro used for years. Sadly, it looks like the company doesn't care when you need help, or maybe they're defunct. Their contact form is broken as the Captcha doesn't produce a code, so you can't get in touch. Nice! And with the latest upgrade, you can't access where the Recordings are stored since they're inside the Android folder. What madness! Don't waste your money!!

I will add my voice to other users to say that this app is ruined as of the February update. Not being able to access older recordings in the app, or to get to the folder where new recordings are stored, or to upload to my computer via USB... all these functions were things I used regularly and were important for my work. I will have to uninstall this and go looking for something else. I'm very sorry as I have loved this app for years.

What's new

– Update to comply with requirements to support Android 15.
– In newer Android versions, recording files are stored in app-private folder. This means that media player apps won't be able to access your recording unless you use Hi-Q to share a recording or open it with a media player app. Use a file manager to access old recordings in the "Recordings" folder.

– Dropbox automatic upload now works again.
