Ratings and reviews

1st time user. Recorded 30 min. interview, and it acts like it won't let me upload—like it's stuck on "Please remove all emojis from your interview to continue," but maybe not because now it says it's published. Lol Minus 1 star because of the confusioning warning AND mostly because the *your recording has been saved to your device* (after clicking Save multiple times) is not obvious on that page. It did successfully upload the interview over the phone's internet connection (no wi-fi here).

if you try to use another app or lock your phone during the recording, it stops recording after a few brief minutes. since the app only has one purpose of recording audio, I don't think you should have to worry about locking your phone or navigating elsewhere, I lost many minutes of my interviews this way. definitely would suggest just using the standard audio recorder that comes with your phone

The app (version 1) will not open on my Pixel 5. It tries to open but just shuts down / immediately. I see there is a version 2 of the app but i can't find it on the Google Play store. Any suggestions anyone? EDIT: I discovered that Google has removed the ability of Pixel phones to record phone conversations. This may or may not explain why the app won't open.
