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.

Access to the whole transcript is blocked by the Add Title pop up. Not functional for me without that. I will continue to check for updates on the usefulness of this app, but will pursue different recorders in the meantime. I hope to see future updates that make this recorder more functional. Unable to record just the screen.

Great audio, you can make changes in the settings including clearer by removing background noise. Transcription could be better as it gets some words wrong and misidentifies the speakers. You can listen and go back and edit the transcriptions. Overall, great for meetings. I give it five stars because of the features and editing capabilities. I use this with the Google Pixel 9 Pro & Pixel Tablet. All recordings show on both.
