Ratings and reviews

So nice to see a simple app that just does what it says, is not an apocalyptic ad bombing mission and it's review column hasn't turned into a trollfest. . Thank you for a great contribution to the community via the Play Store. Now if I could only use it, though. :( On a landscape mode only device the screen is just squished and elongated on a 1024x600 device. The screen shots above make it look like the perfect utility otherwise. Using them as a guide I can see what those really thin squished icons are supposed to be, though some won't respond to a touch and you can not get out of the options screen at all as the 'cancel / save' seems to be on the very bottom of the screen, just outside of the digitizer range. I mean, I could get real creative with driving and even then, that would still be a wobbly 60 degree angle. Although it wouldn't technically be texting and driving, none the less, it would require at least a similar attention level .. and is illegal in many states. Giving it a half way up the scale review due to the intentions and effort.

This is the 5th app I tried, and the only one that actually allowed me to capture my bluetooth headset to allow me to compare how different headsets sound to the people I'm calling. In this new world of videoconferences, that's a great help! It is also nice that you can record throw-away snippets for testing without having to save them. The interface is basic and too-the-point. Can't fault that. Excellent!

EDIT: Dear dev, the option to share a file is unintuitive. I did chose a file, so it is highlighted blue. Then I try pressing the blue line. It never came to my mind to long-press a not highlighted file name from the list. There's no indication of more functions there. End Edit. It works. You can choose a source and test if it is recording. Two stars because you can't share ot extract the file in any way. There is no new folder in the non hidden parts of the file system. Nor a share button.
