Ratings and reviews

I used to like it a lot. The sound quality was good, I loved that I didn't need to stay in the app to keep recording something while also being on my phone. But...for the last few months it has not been the best. With my Bluetooth headset connected, it doesn't record anything. The playback is muffled or non-existent. It sounds like gears against a metal grater. Audio quality has gone down drastically. Luckily I don't have to deal with ads but I hate that I can't uninstall it.

so far, I tried using it while in my car. When I went to replay what I recorded, nothing but dead air. apparently road noise needs to be eliminated so it eliminated my voice too. so, you know, not great. I'm hopeful turning off nose cancelling for recordings will fix, bit it's unfortunate I have to experience loss before getting to that realization.

Easily, and hands down the best recorder app I've ever used. It may not be as in-depth as some of the other apps on the Play store, but it's definitely my favorite. It's easy to use, has lots of complex AI features, and syncs across all my devices. The downsides are no folders, clunky transcription editing, missed transcriptions, and no way to add tags after recording.
