It is somewhat tricky to learn how to use, and the manual could be written and organized better, but that might just be me. I wanted a simple audio recording app for my tablet so that I won’t miss a class I can’t be present for. I think this should work well. It records for a long time and is clear enough. I appreciate that it’s free!
PERFECT for Songwriters!!! ⭐️
jHawaiiAloha
This app is perfect for songwriters. I love being able to record my song ideas quickly. Then I love being able to listen back to all of my ideas and have them play back automatically one after another. I also love being able to delete recordings quickly. And I love being able to export my good recordings quickly.I also appreciate that this app creator made two apps that we can use. I use one for writing songs, and I use the other app (which is basically the same app) for recording my Piano improvisations. So thanks for making two apps for us to be able to use!For future updates, I hope in will allow for a bigger font, as my eyes have a hard time seeing small fonts as I age. Again, I love this app, and I use it every week, and it helps me to write a song every week!!!Thanks to the creator of this app. Blessings to you and your family.Kind regards.
Annoying
giggleatafuneral
This dictaphone is ok in terms of sound quality but is really annoying in that I can’t just scroll back a few seconds while listening to a recording. They should at least have -15 seconds playback. I end up popping back minutes behind, it’s especially bad on the small iPhone that I use, and I have to rehear the annoying voice a professor I interviewed, over and over. Also, the dictaphone app is continuously heckling me about giving it a rating, so I finally did
User manual
Digbic
User interface is only mildly user friendly. In the app, go to the section called “About” and you will find a link that lets you download a user app. Developers otherwise will have you believe all you get to guess is their web page high level descriptions of the functions and some you tube apps with front end ads. Generally guys, you need someone to help you run your business. You’ll do better if can get that!
• Added a new widget
• Ability to set playback speed for short audio recordings
• Added "Delay Time" setting for voice-activated recording
• Improved usability
• Bug fixes
