Ratings and reviews

Was auto-charged for the yearly subscription plan after the 3 day trial (my fault, I forgot to cancel), but I have to say, I was thoroughly unimpressed with the pro features. The cloud backup only works automatically if you pay an additional monthly subscription fee for their cloud service. So, to be clear: *The pro plan doesn't even unlock all of the features.* Also the scheduled recording doesnt sync to a calendar, so you have to manually set every time, no recurring option, so kinda useless

So far it's the only app that lets me use my earbud mic for voice recording (absolutely absurd how impossible it is on Android) - but there are some bugs, and I'm not sure they're all unintentional. It worked for a test recording with restricted permissions, but then claimed it couldn't perform audio recording without permission for the microphone - which it had. Only after enabling notifications permission did the mic work again, and the notifications include promo spam. Semi-sketch vibes.

Makes you pay to loop audio. I tested another app "voice recorder" and it allowed me to loop for free. So, I uninstalled this one. The interface was clean and I love green. Not sure what, if any, other benefit I could have gotten out of it. But, the audio loop feature was what I was looking for and I don't want to pay for something so simple lol.
