## Review summary

The app is praised for its ease of use and broad recording/playback features, with good audio quality and reliable transfers. However, multiple reviews warn of data loss (auto or after updates) and difficulty accessing saved files due to storage changes. Users also report reliability issues such as freezing, slow launches, and occasional abrupt stops in recording, plus device-specific UI problems and post-update instability. Overall, it’s valued for daily use, but stability, data retention, and direct file access need improvement.
