Looks good at first apart from the ugly non-native UI, then half the features stop working and it gives subscription and purchase options with a ton of different ways to bleed money from users. Didn't even have time to properly edit a single audio file to evaluate it. Should be marked as a demo, as it's not really "free" at all. This sort of deceptive, greedy monetisation strategy undermines the integrity of the developers.

I used a previous version of this app for a lot of lapel mic work as part of my business. However, this most recent version (after an unwanted update) sometimes stops recording audio and just adds a load of dead silence at random intervals! It seems others have had the same problem too. Why did you change the app when it was working great before? I can't rely on this anymore because it's affecting my work! Such a shame.

I'm sorry but, upon clicking the cross to close out an ad in the bottom right corner of the app, it tries forcing you to make a purchase.. Thankfully there's one more thing to "agree" to before it goes ahead.. So that, in my opinion, deserves a 1 star as that is just plain disgusting: hiding a purchase behind the 'x' to close/switch an ad.. Other than that it's been fine for what I use it for.. But it doesn't matter how good an app is if it's trying so desperately to get your money..
