Audio Memos Pro App Reviews

tested for days there are so many but not as good as this. Very functional but yet very simple to use. Has many incredibly useful function features. Quick and fast for short Memo’s yet fully featured for a total recorded message with markers and savings capabilities.

I have had no problems with this at all. I don't use it an awful lot. Mostly just for tidbits of thoughts and reminders of things to do. I check in weekly, Deleting those that are no longer of use or that I have recorded elsewhere.

There are many audio programs in the marketplace but few offer such ease of editing, default name construction, and search facilities as this program does.

I have been tolerating other recorder for a semester and finally s***** it up and paid for this one... I'm very glad I did! I have had it about a week now and already I'm very pleased with the functionality of it. It not only pauses but if you accidentally stop it you can open the note and add on to it! You can merge separate files, you can add bookmarks as you record , add multiple tags for easy search/sorting later, you can edit the files on your phone in the app, you can change the title while you are recording and you can even convert it from wav to AAC in the app by either creating a copy in a different format or replacing the old one! Yes 10$ is a little pricy but I have been very pleased! If you are looking for functionality then it's totally worth it!! Thank you!!

Well-written software! Has all the options I like, accept one- can't record during a phone call. My "workaround" is to use my iPad with this program while I have my iPhone on speaker mode.

Do not update! After update now impossible to edit memo name. Trying just crashes the app every time. iOS 8.4.1 iPhone 4s.

Suggested to me by an organizational firm to help get all the junk out of my head and save it for later filing and actions. Tried several others and they are no where near as good or user friendly!!! I highly recommend.

As Secretary for a nonprofit arts organization, one of my duties is to take board meeting minutes. I've used AudioMemos for that purpose since the application was first released. The longer I use it, the better it becomes. The developers do a good job listening to customer concerns and helping solve issues. They also have fixed many of the bugs that plagued the app in the beginning. If I was to ask for one feature, it would be to have the ability to view pdf documents in iBook while a recording is in progress. As it stands now, when a document is opened, the recording is interrupted. However, this could be the result of my first gen iPad, rather the the AudioMemos app. Keep up the good work!

I realI enjoy using this app. The recent ability to turn off the filtering helps, but mainly it is straight forward, and accessible with VoiceOver.

The latest update was apparently auto pushed - icon changed and is stuck in installing update mode. Can't get to files - wifi import, iTunes sync - nada!! I purchased the pro level and am BLAZENLY UNHAPPY that you're update not only isn't working but may have caused loss of files. In this day and age REALLY?!? PLEASE FIX YOUR APP!!!

Good recording quality, but the editing options are terrible!

please fix

I've been using this App in school for about 3 years and through the updates (regular) & just plain solidness/robustness of this program, I can review lectures, etc. with ease. If you need an audio record of what takes place around you, a better App would be hard to find. I bought all upgrades immediately, & use it on my i5 (not S) & iPad 3 & even my old iPod (ios6). Works wonderfully on all iDevices!

Really like this app. Very easy to use and to send files. I do need to learn how to edit the recordings but I'm sure it can be done.

This is still the best app for recording, great features in the complete bundle.

Wasted $10 on this app. Set it up to do a timed record this morning -- it didn't record!!! How useful is a recording app that doesn't record???? Checked settings - everything was correct. App was not closed. It just simply didn't record. 😡👎👎👎👎👎

Great sound quality. I tell my children stories every night and record them. When I am too tired to tell a story I replay stories I have recorded on this app from the past. The sound is great. We love this app!!!

This app has no longer work since I updated and bought a new phone it does not work on my iPad my iPhone six or my iPhone 6s. It will not unlock and when it does it freezes up or it closes out and I have to restart it and it does the same thing on all my devices.

the auto-compress feature is locking up the app.

I've never seen this happen before! At the end of playback The app crashes the phone. This is different from just the app crashing, it crashes the whole phone! This was my go-to app for AudioMemos. I hate to find a new one, but this update renders the app completely unusable.

Just got upgraded to new version, now we can't upload with FTP. Can't contact developer on website. No way to let them know. This was working before this last upgrade.

Not sure why, but the recordings are of very low volume. Even when speaking 2 inches away from the mic and playing my my car with the speakers all the way up I have a hard time hearing what was recorded.

Be prepared to lose long recordings-in-progress if you get a FaceTime call in the middle. I suspect this is true with other modal notifications as well (eg alarm clock). This has to do with the fact that the audio only gets compressed down to a file after recording stops. PS To make emailing easier record at low quality -- not a big deal if the sound is speech only.

Has all i need in a super easy interface and works great with voiceover

Very easy to use. It allowed me to record an unusual bird song heard only during mating season.

I've had the benefit of being able to peruse at lot of applications for my iPad online. And to be honest a good percentage of them are well thought out and very useful. But this application bar none has exceeded my expectations when it comes to vocal transcription of meetings, conversations or just its use as a vocal stenographer. I can say beyond all doubt that if you require an utility that offers the same set of useful capabilities and you do not check this one out you will be doing yourself and your efforts a great disservice.

Perfect app, nothing bad I can tell

this is one of my most important business applications. i've dictated hundreds of memos saving me many hours of time. fortunately I have great administrative help that tolerates listening to my voice. nothing is worse than putting important information in an audio memo, thinking that you really accomplished something and then finding that your information got lost or overwritten. i use to have a lot of frustrating problems with this. I continue to lose information every now and then but I just have to be very careful like looking at the screen frequently to make sure it's still keeping up with me. That is the only thing keeping me from giving it five stars. I think it's a great application overall.

This recording app was one of the first but still is the best

Looking for a recorder right?? This is a simple, effective, recording app, and you can save them for how ever long...I’ve had the app for YEARS, I still have a recoding from another employee who threatened me at work. I’m a real human being lol, from Chicago with love my people (African, White, Latin, Asian, Indian, Native Americans (I wonder why its Native nowadays vs “Indians”...how the world has changed lol). The app is easy to use, and you honestly can’t go wrong...I’m 39, do you remember when the rainbow stood for “The Covenant between...people”...I’m not the religious one, but how the world has changed 🤔

I have been using this app for quite some time, and it works great. Currently using the latest version on my Iphone 6 Plus, with the most recent operating system update installed. I keep this on my home screen, although I sometimes just use Siri to call it up. One thing I really like is that you can quickly open the app, record a memo, and it will automatically name and save it (using current date and time) with hardly any typing. If you want to catch and record quick ideas without fumbling around, this works beautifully. I have bought NUMEROUS voice recorder apps, but this one has become my favorite "go to" app. I'd definitely recommend it.

I purchased this to record lectures at an important seminar I was attending. After the first 2 lectures were improperly deleted by the app when I ended the recording, I went with a different solution. I thought I had made a mistake with the first one...but paid close attention during the second. After pausing the recording, then clicking done...the recording simply vanished. Don't buy this app if your recordings are important to you.

I lost my recordings of multiple hours. You can't undo any of your mistakes. Please fix this. Please have double or triple check on things to be erased forever. Even the trash please do not erase with one button touch. Have the action confirmed just in case you touched by mistake like I did. If you make this changes my review will change immediately. Looking foreword to it.

Good app I use it for recording and editing my university classes Need some more functions 1 When you are editing a voice there is no time indicator so if the app is closed you will lose your editing even don't know where you were! 2 some times you need to split the file in editing section.there is no way to keep both sections 3 its important the incoming call would be cancelled during recording .still missing 4 in editing section that would be great if there were a flash back botton like playing section 5 there is some difficulties in touching bottons

I have been using the app for some time, and the flexibility and quality are top notch. Highly recommended!

This is an app that gives more than expected. I especially like the adjustable input gain and the ability to append to a recording at any time. The app has frozen a couple times when exiting and returning to the app while recording. It is also now crashing when I click on Progresses in the Info section. This is probably due to failed uploads (wrong FTP server info). I don't know how to clear the failed uploads since it crashes before showing any uploads in progress. Here's something very cool. With AudioMemos, I can simultaneously record my voice and a simple keyboard part (using Virtuouso Piano app). Handy way to capture a song idea.

This app used to be one of my favorites. As a student i read my class notes out loud and record them so i can listen to them while i am driving o r just doing stuff out of my house. To me this app was a very useful study tool, now is terrible. The appication crashes CONSTANTLY and messes up my recordings.

This is what an iOS application is supposed to be like. A beautifully simplistic interface and yet it is so rich with features. There are more bells and whistle‘s found in this app than any carnival around!!! Most importantly though, this App is consistently and utterly reliable. If you’re going to buy a voice app, you would be a fool to buy anything else. Kudos to the developer.

Especially portraits.

I like the abilities to trim and add bookmarks, but unfortunately, the sound quality is poor.

I purchased this app with the intention of emailing files of recorded info and after purchasing it, found out that only a small file can be sent through email! I want my money back please.....

I really love this app but, after the most recent update, when I play my recordings, I can't hear them without earbuds. I used to be able to just hit 'play' and the recording would be audible loudly from my iPhone speakers so that others can hear. Bummer!

One of my favorite apps. Children love this app to create their own stories too!

This app suddenly decides to stop recording, making the recording of conversation extraordinary difficult. Also, the voice activation does not activate with my voice (even though I am the closest speaker). It is completely useless. Don't even bother wasting you time and especially money on this fraud.

Please add the option of having time stamps (date and time) to markers. This would make it a 5 star app for me.

For the second time now I have used this app and had a complete freaking disaster. The recording went fine, everything seemed fine afterward when i stopped the recording, and the recordings all showed up in the list of your recordings like they normally should… And now, for the second time after a day or two, my recordings vanished. Without a trace. No way to recover them. I thought the first time was my fault – – I must've done something somehow to move them to some other place in the app? Nope. They're gone. The three hour interview -- which I auto separated into six different recordings because I was so nervous about losing them and which I will never get the chance to redo -- is now gone. Seriously do not get this app unless you want to tear your hair out and punch someone's skull through a plaster wall.

App works well with close up recording. 1. I have not tested it yet in a lecture hall. 2. E-mailed a test sample to my self. Poor quality could hardly hear it. 3. Can only send 15MB e-mail. There is no way you can send a one hour or more conference meeting or lecture to anyone. For $9.99 you would think it had better performance. I have IPad 1, with internal hardware microphone using Audio Memos v.4.02 If there is a later version I would like to have the update.

Can you even record your screen?

The most flexible recording and productivity product on my iPad

I've been using this app to record interviews for my PhD dissertation for a while. It takes a little while to get used to some of its quirks, but it does the job quite well. Sound quality is great, even after using the file compression feature (which is really useful when you're on the road and don't have a fast connection for backing up your recordings). At one point the app did give me a major scare, after one of my recordings suddenly disappeared and I couldn't figure why or out how to recover it. But I contacted customer service, and they helped me to recover it. All in all, I'm sticking with it and would definitely recommend it!

I bought this app, record while I am riding through my bluetooth headset microphone. But i see iPhone microphone all the time I record. Explanation shows that there is an option to choose bluetooth microphone but not in my menu??? Is there a chance to return this app!? I do not feel good, because I believe what I read on explanations before I buy. There is no bluetooth microphone option!!! Please send me information, what would you do for that.
