An editorial reading of the saved reviews

A capable mobile recorder aimed at musicians and field recording. Clean audio quality when the source is close. Noise reduction is weak and captures background sound equally well. File organization is inconvenient: no search and files pile up without structure. WAV files do not open directly in some AI services.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

When attached/uploaded to PERPLEXITY.AI or GEMINI at Google, WAV files will not parse for transcription. WAV provides best quality output. Very disappointed. Requires a 2nd step to convert to MP3. This is a drag on my workflow.

I've made many recordings with this app over the years. The clarity and ability to share sound files is great, but locating files is a difficult task.

Recording on iPhone 15 Pro. Difficult to make a 'clean' recording. Doesn't filter excess noise.
