User Reviews

PCM Recorder is praised for its simple, high-quality PCM recordings and offline reliability. However, multiple reviews flag ongoing ads with a removed pro version, lack of MP3/AAC export, and years of stagnation with no meaningful updates. The app also misses advanced controls like gain and mic options, though it remains a lightweight, dependable tool for basic recording.

Pros

High-quality PCM recordings with clear audio
Simple, clean, user-friendly interface
Works offline without internet and remains reliable over years
Lightweight with no bloat or gimmicks

Cons

Ad-supported model with a discontinued ad-free Pro option, leading to monetization frustration
Limited output formats: only WAV/PCM; MP3 and AAC are not supported
Not updated for years and considered outdated by many reviewers
Lacks some advanced controls (no adjustable gain/level meter marks, and limited mic selection)
