An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Call recording via conference bridge with iOS limitations. The app announces the recording out loud to all participants. Quality: one voice comes through clearly, the other does not. The server is frequently unavailable. Real recording quality is close to zero.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

My problem is the steps and time it takes to start recording. The 5 steps can take up to 10 seconds to begin recording. 1 Answer call 2 Go to Home Screen 3 Open the app 4 Tap record 5 Tap merge call. In the meantime the call has been answered and the person on the other line is expecting a response.
