This dictation app is fantastic for a busy lawyer. I recommend it highly.
Presumed upgrade problems
Brookington 135
Opened this today. I think that it has upgraded itself (3.0 I think) and it is terrible. The active dictation now fills a much smaller bit of the screen and the image of the sound bar is very stuttering and so I don’t know if it is recording smoothly. Even if it is, it is visually very off-putting. I have no idea why this has change as I have not asked to “upgrade” it. Will fiddle with settings in the hope that I can revert to how it was last week, which generally was good.
Developer Response
We're sorry to hear that our layout change in version 3.0 was inconvenient for you. In version 3.1, you can turn off the multi-column display in the Settings tab, Dictation section, under View Options. We'll investigate the stuttering waveform display, but rest assured this is purely cosmetic, your recordings work just as well as ever.
This app was free when I had it 4 yrs ago!!

Sadly lost my iPhone had to start from scratch! I used this app for 4 yrs it was called dictate lite version, there was no limit to length of recording now unfortunately I had to download it again and it limits my recording to 30 s which for a doctors letter is not long enough! They want 60£/ yr which is outrageous!! Why have you guys done this?
