Common complaints
- ✗Distortion and artifacts in WAV recordings (sound duplication, cyclic stuttering)12% of mentions
«When recording in WAV at maximum sampling rate, the resulting file ends up longer than the actual recording. Looks like an audio buffer processing error that causes the tail of the recording to be duplicated»
- ✗Automatic silence added to recordings (adds 2-4 seconds of silence to minutes of silent audio)8% of mentions
«Downloaded it for WAV recording at 16 kHz, but even a 2-second recording gets a minute of silence added to it, and a 4-second one gets 2 minutes»
- ✗Unexpected recording interruption without reason8% of mentions
«It records fine, sounds good. Out of the blue it stops recording... and if for example you need to record an important lecture or an important conversation, it just turns off»
- ✗File desynchronization between app and file manager12% of mentions
«You delete the file, empty the trash, but it's still in the file manager... apparently due to some kind of glitch in the internal file manager, a recording is displayed as 250 MB»
- ✗Clicks, crackling and stuttering at the end of recordings8% of mentions
«At the end of each recording the last sound gets stuck in a crack»
