| 2025-01-17 |  | | en | Not very reliable, can't change the time limit setting it reverts back to 60 minutes immediately and even removing the time limit doesn't work, recording automatically stops after 60 minutes. Everytime I hit record then afterwards it doesn't allow to save that file. For short recordings it might be fine, but wouldn't recommend it for recordings over 60 minutes. |

| 2025-01-17 |  | | en | The first 30 seconds was okay. Then it speeds up and it had crackling sounds in the background. I then had to re-record. |
| 2025-01-16 |  | | en | Mostly works as described. Nice app. CONS: (1) Even though I went to Settings and removed the capture limit, it stopped after precisely 3 hours. If this is a built-in limit, it makes it worthless for capturing, say, an audiobook, overnight. (2) This app does require you to PLAY the entire audio to capture it - some might have assumed that this app/extension would *download* the audio file (which would be nice, and much much faster!). PROS: (1) I love that you can select the output file format AND the quality. Being able to select lower quality for large/long captures, and select high quality for a single song or other short capture. Nice feature. |

| 2025-01-16 |  | | ja | Encoding Progress の画面で全くEncoding のバーが進まないことが多い。５回に１回くらいはうまく進んでいくが失敗する時は何時間放置しても読み込んでくれない。１時間未満の録音では失敗したことがないので長時間の録音は失敗する可能性が高いという注意書き通りといえるが残念。ちなみに３時間以上の録音は何時間録音しても３時間で終わる。Encoding 画面で420minsなどと表示されていてもダウンロードしたデータは３時間のところで切れて終わっている。 |
| 2025-01-14 |  | | en | This is the best Chrome Audio Capture that I've ever used before. My first time and I enjoy it. Thank you! Sincerely, Bruce Henry Jan. 14, 2025 - 10:45 AM |
| 2025-01-14 |  | | en | Worked better than I expected. Pleasantly surprised. |
| 2025-01-14 |  | | en | It's very good but ever since you (the dev) monkeyed with the filename format, when you cancel a recording, it will still open a (non-functional) save dialog in 20 minutes or whatever. That was never an issue before |
