Easy to use and helpful for writing notes and recording audio simultaneously.
Developer Response
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're glad to hear ScribblePad is making it easier to take notes while recording audio at the same time. We truly appreciate your support and will continue working to make the app even better. Happy note-taking! 😊
- Fixed a rare issue where syncing could get stuck and the Sync button stayed disabled.
- Long audio recordings now transcribe reliably and resume automatically if interrupted. You can start or retry a transcript anytime.
- Recording again now asks before replacing an existing recording, so you can't lose a recording by accident.
- Added network timeouts so a slow connection can no longer stall a sync.
