Dictaphone Voice Recorder 4+

This is a great app. I used another unit prior to this and it did not work. This App is a Mercedes Benz!! It is well designed. The voice clarity is excellent. It upload to iCloud is easy to set up and actually works. The file males are easy to change. I am using it for recording my dreams and it is perfect for that!!! What a terrific well designed product! I give it a five star review and am delighted to have found it.

Originally I loved this app. But after much use… I discovered that if you are using it on your watch and you stop the recording but forget to tap on save (there’s an option for cancel or save) you lose the entire recording and can’t recover it. Being on my watch and arm it makes it difficult because sometimes it gets bumped before I can push save and I’ve lost really important recordings that way. I’ve searched and searched online to try to figure out how to recover it and I haven’t found any way possible. I wish the default set up was to save it rather than delete it if that happens.

I have sent four emails to customer support trying to recover very important recording I had and I have had no response whatsoever. So I’m changing my review to one star

New 2023 version has a launch bug.

My previous review was: Good recording interface. Easy to use. Voice activation with tunable sensitivity, which is lacking in Apple’s Voice Memos. ‘Dictaphone Voice Recorder’ has decent voice file exporting and importing ability via Air Drop and Voice Memos, and iTunes. It sorts your files by date and you can name them however you want, and those things are absent in Apple’s Voice Memos. It still needs the ability to sort files by name and doesn’t have that. Reliable, but no support from publisher.
