1. [R1] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Every time I open it, there are annoying ads, and I can't record immediately. It's very annoying! · translated
2. [R6] Voice recorder 3/5 · US Good, but intrusive ads.: Has great options and features that I need in a voice recorder app (multiple file formats/etc), but has annoying ads that pop up every now and again. I’d happily pay a single fee to remove them, but no option exists.
3. [R10] Voice recorder 1/5 · US A cookie banner on an app???: Opened the app and the first thing I get is a box demanding my permission to track me for third-party advertisers. I've seen a lot of really stupid stuff from apps on here, but I have never seen this. There is no way I would trust crucial recordings to an app that pulls this sort of nonsense. Couldn't delete it fast enough.
4. [R16] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Ads impossible to close: After hitting “play” button add pops up covering whole screen and no place to close or cancel, so no way to get back to the original screen to stop recording, save, rename etc. Very frustrating.
5. [R4] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Sickened: Twice now I've had buggy screwed up issues using this app. But this time, the second time is just heart breaking. When I hit STOP after a one hour recording, someone asked me a question (it was SUCH an important interview) and I did not name the file but I also did not delete it. I did not exit out of the app. Later I went to get the file and it did not save. WHY would you have a d
6. [R7] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Recordings Not Saved: Seems like a good app but my calls are not being saved. My last 3 recordings show me that they are being recorded & when I end the call, it is not being saved. Not sure how to fix this. Please help.
7. [R19] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Half the time doesn’t record anything: And then you don’t realize until an hour later that you got nothing. Useless.
8. [R22] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Please help recover Recordings: My phone was Factory reset, without my knowledge and all my recordings have been deleted. I’ve been trying to contact support, no luck! Is there any way to recover my files? I would be so grateful and give a 5 starrr. Please help!
9. [R5] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Long recordings, but hard on the battery: I love this app, for being able to easily download the files onto my computer and make long recordings. I preferred when the app stayed on during dictating text messages and such. now it turns off if I move to any other program/page. I’d prefer that it turns off when I decide to turn it off.
10. [R9] Voice recorder 3/5 · US 90% useless to me: Idk if it’s different in android. On iPhone, it never lets you record when you get off the app, it stops recording as soon as you get out. Most of my recording is done when I’m off the app. So it’s useless for me. I wanted to give 0 rating but it actually records but that is no different from other apps
11. [R15] Voice recorder 3/5 · US Great But…: I love this app so I bought the premium version to get rid of the ads. The paid version doesn’t playback with Bluetooth so I’m using the free version which for some reason does. I hope the developers fix this bug!
12. [R31] Voice recorder 4/5 · US App Won’t Connect to Bluetooth Speaker: I love this app as it is great for quickly recording musical ideas when I get them. One frustrating problem that I am having is that it won’t work with Bluetooth speakers for some reason… I have the Pro (ad free) version. Hope this gets fixed soon…
13. [R34] Voice recorder 2/5 · US Pro Version: The pro version does not play over my Bluetooth. The free version does, why? Is a fix coming, seriously needed
14. [R13] Voice recorder 1/5 · US The free version is better than the paid version: I tried the free version and thought it was okay, so I decided to buy the paid version. But the paid version is so basic.... Isn't that a rip-off? · translated
15. [R25] Voice recorder 1/5 · US How do I remove ads on this program?: This is a pretty good program. I found a better on android than on Apple because on Apple, they just bugged to death with ads so I guess I have to pay for it, but I can’t see where to pay for it help
16. [R12] Voice recorder 3/5 · US Great Idea: Need to add Apple Watch compilation so it can be controlled without grabbing & unlocking iPhone.
17. [R35] Voice recorder 4/5 · US Add a feature: Please please please add a feature to playback mode. When you click the headphones to listen, there should be an option to cast to devices such as Google nest, Google Home, mini, etc.…
18. [R44] Voice recorder 2/5 · US Good App.: As much as I enjoy using this app, it does not give the option to merge recordings or have a continuous play of a folder. After each file it automatically stops; nor does it allow continuous play of all files in a folder one after the other. This would make the app more user friendly if files were able to play continually from folders. This way if it was something you wanted to use for
19. [R3] Voice recorder 3/5 · US It’s okay…: This App is okay. I would have given it 5 stars if it replenished storage instantly. It takes far too long to recognize deleted files and replenish the storage. That is the only thing that I don’t like about the App.
20. [R38] Voice recorder 2/5 · US difficult to use and hard to find the files in your phone: you can record but you will have a hard time finding the recordings on your iphone … it doesn’t give you any good options to scan your iphone directory for the files plus it’s plagued by too many ads
21. [R39] Voice recorder 4/5 · US Android to iOS: I moved from android to iOS when I transferred my files I thought it transferred all of my recordings. It did not. Ugh! I wish there was a way to back up your recordings. Is there a way to have access to these?
22. [R2] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Good App: Simple and does the job. Thank you!
23. [R8] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Great App: Very user friendly. Recording quality is great

26. [R23] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Incredible audio quality: Me and my team use this app for recording episodes of our paranormal podcast and it never fails to amaze us with the way it works! We highly recommend this app for anyone who wants to have crystal clear audio for any occasion such as recording sessions of a podcast for example!
27. [R29] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Honest review: The best thing about this app is that it will pick up sounds and voices clearly from far away and it records so clear that the playback is like you were right next to the people talking, even though they were on the other side of a wall. I’ve never had anything free like this app that works this well. thank you for keeping this app Free. I do need some help files somewhere that inst
28. [R41] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Excellent quality: Works really well. I have tried many and this one works best.
29. [R43] Voice recorder 5/5 · US Audio quality is great: This app makes recording and organizing your files super easy. What makes it stand above the rest is the audio quality. It’s superb!
30. [R56] Voloco 1/5 · US Miss the old ui bit things change: I really loved it before when I paid for the vocal effects, but the app has been revamped and a lot of people really like it. I am glad it is getting the attention it deserves I was really only into it for the vocal effects because I think that they are some of the best on iOS. I mean their are some really good vocoder apps for iOS and this one is definitely
31. [R59] Voloco 5/5 · US I love music: Music help me with pain
32. [R61] Voloco 5/5 · US Amazing app: I love the features and everything it’s a must try!
33. [R63] Voloco 5/5 · US Must have: So easy to use and live making music in my free time very therapeutic
34. [R32] Voice recorder 1/5 · US Doesn’t work?: I downloaded because of good reviews, but I can’t get it to even work. Does anyone know what I’m doing wrong? I’d like to be able to record a phone call if I need to.
35. [R65] Screen Recorder，Video Recorder 1/5 · US Best game ever: This game is so fun you can do uploading tricks and it’s very cool. I did not know how to show my face in the video until I uploaded this app or play Roblox why somebody singing it five stars that’s the best game ever try this out.
36. [R71] Screen Recorder，Video Recorder 5/5 · US So cool: I record :)
37. [R73] Screen Recorder，Video Recorder 5/5 · US V record: So easy to use it’s I can. I’m recording YouTube videos, but it’s easy to post. It just takes a long time to export it. If you could make it where you could leave the app while doing it and it runs in the background that would be nice it’s my review. If it ain’t good then.
38. [R77] Screen Recorder，Video Recorder 5/5 · US Good: I CAN MAKE VIDS NOWW
