The user interface is amazing. You can open in the presence of others. It will be mistaken for an audio recording app. The app icon needs some work though. It raises concern in eyes of people when seen. "What's that app for". Design a new icon or a list of icons we can choose to use for ourselves to represent it in our phones.
