2023-07-26	Da*****	Very reliable and stable. Easy to edit recordings. Best recording app I have found. I'd like to see one improvement: It would be great to have a multi-step macro to automate renaming and emailing recordings.

2023-05-07	ND*****	Terrible sharing options, unable to find recordings on device in order to change location. Unable to rename files. Desperately needs a good update. Other than that, a well built app. Like it but would like it more with added features and options.

2022-03-23	lo*****	I like the quality of the recordings but naming files is a pain and how many times should I have to press send to get s file sent to my typist? Once. I often have to check multiple times whether a file has been sent and then re-send. Not great. And I've rated it before but it always asks me to rate - interrupting what I'm doing to ask me to rate!! - it's a bit like they don't care.

2021-03-12	Ad*****	Decent application. However, pause and play functions seem to have a slight delay, so it's difficult to pause at a precise moment in order to insert or overwrite dictation. Would also be nice if record /pause button was in a more accessible location so that it's possible to pause and start recording quickly during dictations to cut out silence.

2021-02-28	To*****	This app has some useful functionality and is familiar in interface and quality to some of my other Philips speech devices, however, it is dissapointing not to be able to record in DSSPro or to encrypt files for security, without paying extra for speech live, especially after having already spent big on Philips hardware and software. It seems the main aim here is to ensnare users in a subscription service. Once quality sold itself. I would happily pay for the functionality without being bled.

2021-02-05	ch*****	Really very good. Enjoy the simplicity, and really love the overwrite feature. Took one star off as would really like the feature of adding images which appear at relevant time stamp. But that's being picky. Have not used any transcribing features yet.

2020-11-25	Ga*****	Very easy to use particularly in conjunction with the online setup. To be able to dictate to the app and then send it to the cloud allows me to work remotely and not have to wait to set the dictation machine in its cradle as with my previous system.

2020-08-05	Es*****	This app records well and dependable, even with the screen locked. But it is far too simple. Getting recording off or from it is extremely challenging. It only exports as HUGE wav files which I have to upload to my Google Drive then download it back to my device so I can find it somewhere, to then edit and convert with a different program to an MP3 which is much smaller and I can share. This side of things is absurd.

2020-07-28	Ti*****	I use the recorder app with the Philips SpeechLive cloud together with Philips SpeechExec and Dragon speech recognition. I send files from my mobile app, the files go to the cloud, run through Dragon on my local computer, and either I can review and edit the document myself, or a secretary can do it for me. It is amazing! The best way to share my workload with support staff.

2020-01-27	A *****	Not too bad but on receiving a call, it continues to record, which is plain silly. Also, if there is another sound source on and I go on to the app, it should automatically override it. Other apps do that. The constant pausing/unpausing is cumbersome.
