... when I'm on the run with my android, this app replaces Cool edit pro version 2.0 on my desktop
★★★★☆LaurieK 37· Dec 31, 2025
Tried multiple apps and this one provides best editing options.
★★★★★Sllyde Auwph· Nov 3, 2025
I use this app all the time to record song ideas that pop into my head randomly when I'm not in my little home "studio" setting. It never has bugs, and it's never lost or deleted a single sound file. Also, super easy to learn how to use it your first time out- and NO ADs (thank you so much for that!). Love it!
★★★★★सायिलक्ष्मण· Mar 12, 2026
It represents waveform wrongly: some louder peaks shown as quiter (smaller amplitudes), while the quiter ones actually look louder. (I understood by openins same audio in other editor). Also, a bit inconvenient in horizontal mode on phone cause all buttons and tabs are huge while waveform is so narrow, it is hardly seen. But 5 stars for serious app with many free/trial options.
★☆☆☆☆Fletcher Devor· Feb 11, 2026
Immediately wanted me to subscribe to edit the first and only audio file I have. I was looking for something to edit only one file and not use the app again. Was looking for a one time use not a paid subscription just to edit a single 7 minute nearly 8 minute audio file, but I guess because it's an ogg file, it doesn't want to edit without money dropped.
★★☆☆☆Silvano Williams· Feb 24, 2026
I have the full desktop version which is great, and recently tried to install the Android version, so I could also work on some files on. My phone. Paid to unlock all features, but the app still says it is the free version, and I can't save any files. Useless and a waste of money for the mobile app.
