Ratings and reviews

I've been using "Hi-Q Voice Recorder" for years, it became my go-to audio app immediately. It's so convenient, easy to record, play, rename or delete tracks. The stereo recordings are excellent, direct to MP3 format, they can be easily shared or uploaded, and are found in the phone's file system.

This app was great, until an update that moved the location where recordings are stored to the app-private folder, blocking the app from being able to access any prior recordings. Supposedly it was a requirement to support Android 15, but that's not true because there are other recording apps with "full Android 15 support" that save recordings in a normal, user-selectable folder. So if the developer can't be bothered to make the app fully work on A15, I can't be bothered to keep using it.

CAREFUL! It used to be my only go to recorder. Was the best... paid for Pro used for years. Sadly, it looks like the company doesn't care when you need help, or maybe they're defunct. Their contact form is broken as the Captcha doesn't produce a code, so you can't get in touch. Nice! And with the latest upgrade, you can't access where the Recordings are stored since they're inside the Android folder. What madness! Don't waste your money!!

What’s new
