Ratings and reviews

Updated: I use this app for everything. I have the paid version so the bad reviews about ads aren't useful for me. I have recorded for 13+ hours straight with no issues and that's with high quality audio recording. Just make sure you have enough storage for it. And give it a few mins to process after saving. I have had issues sharing the file but if you hit details and then the +□ button you can duplicate the file into a different folder and it can be shared no issues. Best recorder for sure.

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.

Whenever I use the app while wearing headphones, it only records my end of the conversation as if it were just a voice recorder. Update: This app is straight trash. Was hoping that the update would fix things, but it still only records my side of the conversation, which is useless. Going through the reviews, I noticed that the people who've given high ratings are using it for either music or voice recordings, while the low ratings are from people using it to record phone calls.
