Ratings and reviews

The app essentially nags you into turning privacy settings down. I don't want Recorder to be able to record in the background. I set it this way on purpose. Yet every time I start a recording, I have to go through a pop-up warning me that background recording is blocked. Yeees. Because that's what I set it to. Please allow me to dismiss this pop-up permanently.

for months now I cannot search for my own recordings. I put keywords on the search bar or even the title of the recording perfectly and it just shows "no results found" when I literally have three recordings that I just saved with those names. There's no option to add more audio to a recording already saved and other editing capabilities. I love the transcribing, useful like the cloud saving really good app but I am forced to use Samsung recorder since it has many more useful editing tools.

It was a great app until I needed to offload the files elsewhere. Unlike on other Android phones, the files are saved in a folder blocked to the user, requiring special permission to read. You can get them by uploading them to their website, and even there you can only download them one by one. An upload and download just to get files in my phone. In the app you can only save one by one too. If another recorder app did this it would probably not be trusted. I'd love to discuss more but 500 limit
