Audio Memos Pro 4+

Apple's native voice memos can't be played in the background- so it's impossible to type up recorded meeting minutes on your phone while listening to the recording. Now I can type up notes from recorded meetings even on a crowded train! The app also allows playback at different speeds - slow it down while typing relevant sections, speed it up through the less relevant parts of the meeting. The only thing I'd like to change is that the nudge-back feature isn't accurate in slow motion - it goes forward a bit first so you need to click it several times to go back a few seconds. Not a big deal but would like that fixed in a future version?

While I find this app to be a brilliant tool for recording my notes. BE VERY VERY CAUTIOUS of saving your recording at every chance you can DURING the recording process. I have lost some very important recordings during the saving moment when a call or message comes through and have to answer or respond to those. And once lost, it’s all gone forever.

I’ve written to Imesart a few times to help retrieve the data but their technical department are absolutely clueless. It’s a waste of time asking for their guide.

So take care and turn your notifications on mute and under any circumstances, don’t turn to another page on your phone until you have saved your recording.

This used to be an excellent app. It is now more or less useless. I’m guessing the original developers or developer may have left and now it is full of bugs. I have reported these bags and unfortunately nothing has been done. When trying to record it will automatically stop halfway through or not start at all on auto start-up. This is very annoying. Sometimes you think you are recording any later to find out you have to repeat yourself and the recording did not even start. My advice would be to look elsewhere.
