Ratings and reviews

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. DO NOT EVEN BOTHER. This app is so buggy and limited in capabilities that it is basically useless. Even teh 40-page manual I found online will not help you. It records okay, but even simple editing is a terrible experience. It will only play back ALL FILES in sequence, in an endless loop. There is no way to only play back one file. Just horrible, frustraing and useless. Find another app.

I don't like using this app at all. I use the Zoom AM 7 USB-C microphone all the time and love it, but I don't like using it with this app. It works perfectly with recording videos in the standard camera app. Maybe I would like this app more if I didn't have other Zoom handy recorders to record WAV files on. As it stands, I would much rather just use one of those devices such as the HN1

App is garbage. Records and sounds ok but any playback is a staggered double overlapping track. Uninstalling it can stop that but you lose everything. No way to export files to anywhere else in your phone. Only usable in the app. Some files you click send and you can share them. Some refuse to be able to be sent. Fkn terrible.

What’s new

When the reverb effect was being used, the playback sound or sound of the written file would be doubled. This has been fixed.
