User Reviews

Reviews are mixed. Users praise a simple interface and useful sharing/organization features (local webserver, wifi download, labeling), plus background recording. However, recurring problems include unreliable saving, excessive fragmentation of recordings, limited export options, sparse documentation, and claims of voice-activation that don’t hold for all users. A few file-order and stability bugs also appear.
Pros
  • Simple, clean interface and easy to use.
  • Built-in sharing/transfer features (local webserver, wifi download).
  • Date/time labeling and preset tags help organize recordings.
  • Background recording and lock-screen operation for convenience and battery efficiency.
  • Adjustable voice-activation sensitivity (noted by reviewers).
Cons
  • Reliability issues: recordings fail to save or are saved as many tiny clips.
  • Export/sharing is limited (only email) and large files can't be saved or shared elsewhere; multi-file splits create too many files.
  • Thin documentation and lack of support/contact.
  • Some users report it isn't truly voice-activated as advertised.
  • File organization bug (files can appear out of chronological order).

I accidentally deleted a file and would like to know how to retrieve it.

Had to spend $1.99 to find out that this is not voice activated. You must press a button to begin recording.
