I got proof to get my abusive father arrested with this. He never got caught in 14 years and this year, I was recording me singing, and it caught the moment he came into my room and everything. Saved my life. Ty 😊 💕

So far so good👍! I mean, LOVE THIS APP MORE the simplest fact that, you have option to prevent incoming calls or muted the phone from ringing while you are RECORDING an important subject Because that was my literally, an absolute and biggest worsted nightmare issues that I used to have. By the damn phone will begin ringing at the worst time possible. And then, you all guys went and did it for m, making it one of my many dreams come true. A very well done to the developer. Cheers🥂👏🤜🤛✌️👍

Please consider naming recordings with their timestamp (e.g., 2026-06-03 14.37.52) instead of generic names like "Voice 001". It's more meaningful, easier to organize, and remains useful even when metadata is unavailable.

It transcribed my recording in Spanish; French and English. All in the same transcript. Unintelligible transcript

Useless... Wanted to record something important, a speech of one hour. The recording stopped own It's own exactly at 10 minutes. Realized only later. Just because samsung wants to show off its new feature, I lost an important recording, how dumb and disgusting.

Records in m4a only. And most apps won't accept this format. Why can't this app record in other compatible formats??
★☆☆☆☆Pyojo Web· Jun 9, 2026
Good audio quality, but really, really bad UX. no quick save, no way to save recording with the same name, no way to listen in background while managing recordings.
★☆☆☆☆Blue· Jun 19, 2026
There's something wrong with this app. I have my microphone permissions set to "Ask Every Time," but the app keeps telling me to go into my settings and grant microphone access. When I open the app, it should simply ask for permission to use my microphone. I click "Allow," and then I should be able to record. Instead, it keeps sending me back to the settings page. Please fix this issue as soon as possible
