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Not updated for years and considered outdated by many reviewers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)

Recent reviews

loved this app for so many years. at least 10. but all of a sudden there's a major bug. the file library of previously recorded recordings will no longer load, then it shuts down the app and says "PCM Recorder is experiencing a major bug, please contact the owner or install an update". i don't have an update and I'm waiting for one. i use this app for about 4 hours every day, so i need it working asap. edit... i emailed them trying to help them and they just ignore me. useless people.
