1. [R1] Voice Memos 1/5 · US Why I think you’re Should be delete it: Because you guys aren’t even doing nothing all you’re making us do is do wraps and stuff and then make it on that then you won’t even let us do it on YouTube so at least making a app where you can record yourself making song put it on your voicemails or your camera, then make a video then go on that one app and then make it together and then make another app
2. [R4] Voice Memos 1/5 · US Deleted voice memo: I had recorded the last conversation I had with my dad before he passed on here. I bought iCloud storage a few months after thinking the voice memo would sync and I wouldn’t ever lose it. During syncing, the voice memo was deleted and after contacting Apple was told they don’t know what happened and I haven’t been able to recover it since.
3. [R19] Voice Memos 2/5 · US I use it, when my Pixel isn’t available: It records voice. The next most important feature to me is ease of transferring that to external storage. It’s an Apple product, so: terrible. My next most important feature is transcribing to text, both in real time and for future use, and ease of exporting that to external storage. Again- terrible. But it’s got a microphone and records voice to the pho
4. [R69] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 3/5 · US Paywall warning: This app worked great for me, until the trial ended and sharing or saving to my files was hidden behind a paywall. Could do other things, but not what I needed anymore.
5. [R11] Voice Memos 5/5 · US The good thing: I was happy with Voice Memos because it kept beautiful memories in here and I’m glad!
6. [R35] Voice Memos 4/5 · US Clear recordings; Great transcriptions; improvements needed: Improvements needed: 1. We need the ability to Pause on the main screen, not just a Stop button. 2. While recording, the phone soon locks and goes dark. There is then no indication that recording is in progress. This is a privacy concern. The phone should display an indicator, like an audio meter. This would also allow you to pause a
7. [R62] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 4/5 · US Voice Recorder: Blah blah, blah, and blah blah blah. Also blah blah, blah, and blah blah blah. Especially I like the blah blah blah blah blah blah.
8. [R70] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US No support in App: No support in app. Do instead you get a one star. Denoise is confusing as hell.
9. [R47] Voice Memos 1/5 · GB Keeps crashing: I loved this app for years in last couple months its been crashing and not recording this is a big problem fix this app glitch
10. [R55] Voice Memos 1/5 · GB Recordings aren’t downloading: Anything before 6 months ago show “downloading”. There is no support for the app, so these recordings are basically lost
11. [R106] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US Very Buggy and Lose files: this used to be a good app, but now it shuts down, doesn’t record at times and has lost most of my files.
12. [R114] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US What a joke!: Don’t give them your money. Full of glitches and it only gets worse with time. My question is, Will they ever fix the bugs that continue to lose my recordings? Do they even care? It appears not. I have been requesting help and fixes for these issues for almost 6 years now. Don’t be fooled. They want your money and your recordings. They are not interested in peeper maintenance of th
13. [R61] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US Charges me but says I don't have subscription: This app charges me $16.99 a month but every time I go to use it, it says I don't have a subscription. Seems to be no way to fix this and no one to contact.
14. [R75] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 3/5 · GB Way too expensive: A truly superb app, but £89.99 is just silly money… let’s see it at £29.99 and you’d see the £££ rolling in. Too rich for me at the no - such a pity!
15. [R108] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US Not worth the price! Not even close!: I’d downloaded this app and it was passable for what I was doing with it. Dictating notes to myself, mostly. Then low and behold, suddenly the app won’t do even very basic functions without ponying up $99 for an annual subscription - and then it’s due again next year. You guys have lost your minds if you think this app is wroth 100 bucks / year. There are
16. [R112] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US Customer service: No way to connect with customer service. Classic business ploy these days. Offer no customer service so you never have to deal with customers. Just about making money off people, no about good products.
17. [R88] Voice Recorder & Notes Pro 1/5 · US DONT DO IT: There’s absolutely no customer service contact on the entire app. So let’s hope you don’t try to cancel your free trial, and then it doesn’t work, and then they charge you $100 bucks despite your attempt to cancel a couple days b4 Christmas… because that’s what happened to me! Can’t find any contact info on these people other than an email that probably isn’t even correct- which I have
