1. [R2] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 5/5 · US Praise & Suggestion: I started using this for work - recorded a positive affirmation for myself. Now I am using it to read a daily devotional as part of a group. One of the members learns better when he can listen as opposed to read, so I am recording each day and then sharing it with him. Couple of Suggestions or Spots to Tweak - The app has started popping up a survey question *while* I am
2. [R11] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 5/5 · US As promised: Recorder does what is says, no messing around like other similar space apps! Can open and be recording immediately which for myself is the whole point of having the app.
3. [R5] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 5/5 · US Dependable: Awesome
4. [R10] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Unreliable: My subscription is active until 2025. I used the app several days ago. Tonight when I needed to use it, it would not record. So I had to use another app. This is not the first time the app has not worked and I had to switch. If you need 100% dependability, this is not the app to use, especially for the money.
5. [R3] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 3/5 · US Recorder: This is an easy app to use. Only complaint is the infernal pop up to enroll drove me crazy.
6. [R19] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 5/5 · US Voice Recorder: This app works well- once you figure out what you are supposed to do in each screen. Then when you try to select files to upload, there are a couple pads to doing this, but it takes a while to know exactly the sequence again that you must remember. All in all once I got it all figured out it’s a good app.
7. [R44] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 2/5 · US So far, so good.: It kept interrupting my first using of it to seek approval of itself, and so far so good it works well. It messes up constantly. Not a good ap.
8. [R7] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Not Worth The Money: The sound is really good, but it’s easy to lose entire recordings because you changed the name of the recording before clicking save first. I clicked to edit the title then clicked save and the recording deleted. It’s not reliable, you will likely lose a receding at some point.
9. [R16] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Won’t save: I’ve attempted three recordings in the past two days, none of them have saved. I’ve clicked save in the upper right hand corner after stopping the recording. Saving shouldn’t be a ten step process.
10. [R32] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Does not save: If you’re creating a voice memo it will not save unless you click the save button! I accidentally cleared the app and it deleted everything I had recorded bc I didn’t press save before clearing. It should have an auto feature where when you reopen the app it asks if you want to keep working or something. Everything is just gone now
11. [R4] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 2/5 · US Why make it subscription only????: I used to use this app all the time to record book readings for my friends and all of a sudden I can’t record anything without a subscription??? Not worth the 10 dollars a month I’ll find something else
12. [R20] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Scam - paid $9.99 for a couple of months and then said I needed to pay: STAY AWAY! You will lose money and NOT be able to record without paying more again, and then requesting refund(which you may or may NOT get back). I bought this and had it for about 3 months. I should have never spent that much money on it but I forgot I bought it. When I needed to use it I was welcomed with a message to purch
13. [R42] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Not able to record unless I commit to paying $9.99/month.: Not able to record unless I commit to paying $9.99/month. There are very good options available that have voice transcription are not this expensive.
14. [R30] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Not a free app: There is nothing anywhere in the description of this app that says you have to pay to use it. Just FYI, they give you only 3 free uses then you have to pay to use it. No thanks.
15. [R36] Voice Memos & Sound Recorder 1/5 · US Pestering Ad: So I paid for this (way too much for what little it does), and they still hassle me every few minutes to review their app. Well, here’s the review. Hope they’re happy with the results.
