Apple Watch fixed for real. For some users the companion app crashed the moment it opened — we found the root cause and eliminated it. Stereo that stays stereo. Your channel choice no longer resets when you return to the record screen, and stereo presets now record true stereo on supported microphones. Interruptions handled properly. When a call or Siri takes over, recording pauses with a clear explanation and picks up again once the interruption ends — no more silently lost audio. Safer with external microphones. If your Bluetooth or USB mic disconnects, LudyRec pauses and lets you decide how to continue instead of quietly switching to the built-in mic. Also in this update: a crash fix when audio devices change mid-recording, clearer error messages, and protection against duplicate library entries on the latest iOS.

Your custom recording preset now sticks. If you configured a Custom preset with a specific format, sample rate, and bit depth, it was silently discarded whenever you changed settings and returned to record. Fixed. Your configuration now loads exactly as you saved it. Record-start crashes resolved. Several users on certain devices reported that ALAC recordings failed to start, depending on the device's supported sample rates and bit depths. LudyRec now checks your settings against what your hardware accepts before starting, corrects unsupported combinations automatically, and never saves a truncated file to your library. The record button resets reliably after saving. After stopping and saving a recording, the New Recording button could stay unresponsive. It now resets promptly so you can start your next take without restarting the app. Apple Watch no longer crashes on watchOS 26.3. An incorrect Info.plist key caused an immediate launch crash on the Watch companion app. Removed. Library recovery works correctly. Resetting the library now restores your recordings instead of showing an empty list. WAV exports keep your source bit depth. Your 16-bit recordings export as 16-bit WAV. No forced upsampling. Headphones disconnected mid-session. When you unplug headphones during a recording, input monitoring stops automatically, you get a brief notification, and the recording continues on the built-in microphone. Guided walkthrough for new users. The first time you open the app, a short guided session confirms your mic works and gives you a recording to start from. Trim operations are safer. Trimming no longer replaces the original file in place; a safety copy ensures your data is intact even if the operation is interrupted. Interface strings fixed in Korean and 31 other languages. Playback and routing labels that were showing in English regardless of your device language are now correctly localized. Settings open faster. Disk-space estimates are now calculated in the background and cached — no more UI stutter when Settings first loads. Location data is only read when you have opted in. The app never reads your location silently.

A more reliable, more polished LudyRec. Fixed a rare crash that could happen when saving a recording that contained bookmarks. The record button now stays responsive right after you save — no more tapping a button that won't wake up. Smarter hardware fallback: if your mic rejects a sample rate, LudyRec recovers automatically and shows a friendly message instead of a raw error code. Settings open and scroll faster — no more lag when you flip through options. WAV exports now preserve your source bit depth exactly, with no forced upsampling. Location is only captured when you turn it on — never read silently. When your headphones disconnect, input monitoring stops automatically and lets you know. A brand-new guided walkthrough the first time you record. Safer recovery: if your library ever hits trouble, Reset Library now brings your recordings back instead of leaving an empty list. Better VoiceOver labels across tabs, library, and settings. Quieter widget refresh during long recordings for better battery life. Thanks for recording with LudyRec.

Fixed a bug where recordings appeared to vanish after saving. Your recordings now open directly in the playback screen after naming. Recovering a missing file no longer risks overwriting another recording. Trimmed copies now keep the original location and device metadata. Accessibility improvements for VoiceOver users on the recording screen.

Settings are now fully interactive. All picker options (Format, Sample Rate, Channels, and more) respond to your taps instantly. Free users can now browse the Format picker freely. AAC is selectable right away, while WAV and ALAC show a clear Pro unlock path. Podcast and Custom recording presets are now correctly available for free. Every settings row shows visual feedback when you tap it.

Recording saves are now rock-solid. We fixed a critical bug that could silently lose your recordings and eliminated all hidden save failures. No more false "No microphone" warnings. The app now checks permissions correctly instead of probing hardware. Polished playback toolbar with a new trim waveform view. Redesigned first-launch experience with a real mode picker so you start recording faster. Apple Watch companion is more reliable than ever. Plus dozens of stability and accessibility improvements under the hood.
