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 🤢🤮🥵

I used this app to record audio for a video I was making for YouTube. As a driving instructor I need to make sure that any audio recorded from inside the car is clear. Unfortunately what I've found is that this app will automatically connect to the in car microphones, rather than the microphone I've plugged in. This means that I have to disconnect the phone from my car to get the clear recording I need. This makes the app useless, and unfortunately I can't even uninstall it 😡
