I can almost give AudioNote 2 a 5-star rating, and for the life of me, I do not understand how anyone could rate it 1 or 2 stars. I think that reveals more about user incompetence than it does about this excellent app. All in all, it’s nearly perfect. In fact, I hesitate to list what I think are its shortcomings, because it performs so well. But there are 3 aspects where I see room for improvement.1. Better iPad integration with Apples Files app. I keep my current AudioNote work on my MacBook desktop, and I’d like to be able to open it on iPad and immediately edit. Instead, I have to download the whole audio file first.2. Like nearly everyone else, AudioNote now requires a subscription to use advanced features. But I think the fee is unreasonably high. (And it would have been a good move to offer us early adopters of the original product a discount or some similar incentive. Nonetheless, the fee is too high.)3. BIGGIE: Less complicated playback speed controls.

As an attorney I have been using this app for several years. I use this app frequently and rank it in my top 5 “must have” apps! I use it during depositions and other meetings to record and take notes on. (*Approval is obtained before making any recording.)This app allows me to listen more and take less notes. I type in key words when using it. Upon playback if I want to listen to a particular section I just tap the keyword and the recording goes immediately to that part. You can also edit your notes afterwards by typing in more information during playback. The added/edited words can also be tapped during playback to go to that section of playback as long as you type during the playback. The audio pickup is very good as well. I had initially debated about whether to purchase an external mic, but I have found it is not needed for the most part as I only use this for my personal notes. Syncing with iCloud and Dropbox are simple, but I do wish they would add a sync for Microsoft Onedrive. Overall, I would highly recommend this app to any student, if the professor allows it, or professional that needs to record and take notes simultaneously. One reviewer cited a negative of not being able to record a telephone conversation from the same device running this app. This is not a problem with the developer. The microphone on the device can only be used for one task at a time i.e. - talking on the phone or recording.

I was introduced to AudioNote a few years ago, and it is a great tool for college students. However, after about a month of using it, it freezes if I try to do anything off the screen that opens. I have tried offloading files and uninstalling so I don’t lose them, but it only works for a few days and then starts doing the same thing. Very challenging to use when I want to record lectures and I have to have all my classes on the same page , because it will freeze if I open a new sheet. I cannot open any saved files. Literally if I press anything off whatever it opens to, it will freeze. I have the paid version also. Please fix this annoying glitch. I want to continue to use it but it’s kinda pointless if it doesn’t really work.

For me, this app is the best because it records and take notes. You can have this on your phone and if you want to record anything, you just push the button, you can also listen to it and erase whatever you want make changes. I’ve had this for many years and I can’t explain to you all that it does, but it is a good app and if you see five stars anywhere else believe it. I have never had any problems with it ,true statement.
