L record the music during Choir practice, and I play the songs after practice over and over again at home this helps me master the music, and makes it easier for me to sing the songs during Church Service.

★★★★★ Reg Williams · Nov 4, 2026

Very user-friendly does what you want when you want it to do!

★★☆☆☆ Jack “Jax” Jackson · Oct 10, 2026

No, a recorder only needs 1 permission! Nothing else. All these permissions are burdensome to a phone processing and as such should limit to those vital to the activity. Fail Motorola, fail. That aside, just to give it it's due justice, the voice quality is alright, it does its job and properly maintains its purpose.

You cannot minimize the app without stopping or "pausing" the recording. Essentially "forcing" the user to leave the app visible on the screen of their device. It has failed me 95% of the time, out of 30 instances where I needed to capture audio data for documentation and preservation purposes I was only successful 3-5 times if you include the instances that were at least partially successful. That's 25-27 out of 30 failed attempts... ouch 🤢🤮🥵

★★☆☆☆ Christopher Lovejoy · Nov 5, 2026

Now the app has ads, I'm disabling it (can't uninstall from the Motorola phone I paid for). Recordings end prematurely after 10–50 minutes. Other issues I could live with: can't choose output folder, besides making files available to other apps (uses the Music folder); file names lack date; mic is still busy after stopping, so cannot dictate file name.
