Not formatted for iPad. I just purchased this app on and for use on my iPad. I cannot get it to format for the iPad. It only shows up as an iPhone screen. Very disappointed.

Great App!!. Highly recommend. So many great functions.

Desperately needs update!. Have you abandoned this app? I see no update. I have a large number of recordings to import to my Mac, but cannot find any way to do it with the new Music App, now that iTunes is gone.

Best recorder. I love this App and have been using it for years. Great sound recording capabilities.

Stops recording every time there is a notification. Stops recording every time there is a notification

Great App. I have used it many ways. I use this to record meetings, kids’ music recitals, my son’s laughter, and even my buddy’s snoring on a camping trip. So many uses and it works like a champ every time!

Fantastic. Fantastic quality and functions. Easy to use.

Reliable, Excellent Sound Quality. Looked at lots of apps before I decided to spring for this one, but it was well worth it. Records reliably. Just set it and no need to think about it again. Excellent sound quality on the recordings. Easy to import into ITunes or onto your desktop. I like the "Compress" feature so the files are smaller. You can also email files that are shorter than 1 hour from directly within the app. Like the ability to set "bookmarks." Like that editing can be done right within the app. Every time I use the +5/-5 second feature I wonder why on earth ITunes doesn't have a similar feature. Makes finding specific segments easier. Takes some time to learn the UI, but there is an easy to follow users manual. Great app. I use it all the time.

New interface, YUK!. I really USED to like this application -- very intuitive, easy to use, function of what was shown was clear, and although the design certainly could use a bit of tweaking to make it more Apple-like, it was cute in a retro kind of way. The new interface, however, is baffling -- it doesn't look like anything familiar, I can't tell what part of the graphic is interactive, and I can't figure out what the icons mean. The "menu bar" at the bottom has strange icons on them that I'm afraid to press. In short, it's just not intuitive. I had to download the owner's manual so I can figure out how to use what used to be completely straight forward -- how un-Apple-like is that! It seems the interface has been overdesigned with too much of an artistic flare -- it's too much of a departure. I wish I hadn't downloaded the update!

Excellent clarity, easy to use.... I've tried several of the other recorder programs, some come close to the quality of HT Prof Recorder but none are as good... This program is very easy to use, the graphics are attractive, and, as I said, the quality of the sound file is excellent... You can change the sound level so that you can hear someone far away (though you will get static sounds with it) or reduce it for someone closer... You record and then save the name of the recording... This program allows you ftp transfer as well as web interface via wifi... The only thing missing is the ability to email the recordings - if they do that this would definitely be 5 star...

Using it since 2014. Thanks for long term support!. Using it since 2014. Thanks for long term support!

Great app - I'd love to give it 5* .... ... except I'm having real esthetic problems with the look-and-feel. This is hands down the best recorder of all (and I've tried and bought :-( them all) for quality of recording and playback. But that interface... The iPhone has a native look-and-feel which many of us find very attractive. I'd love to see the colors, shapes, screen layout, etc., conform more closely to it. But in terms of its operation, you can't go wrong. My final test was to record my radio in the car with ambient noise, then play it back through the speakers via an iTrip FM transmitter in int'l mode on 87.9 (so no extraneous interference). While many of the others could record and play back decently enough through the iPhone speaker, none but HappyTalk would play back through the iTrip acceptably. Some required far too much volume gain, others were just muddy and unintelligible. HappyTalk was clear enough to hear the recorded program at about the same volume gain needed for iPod or streaming radio output. Prettier and more consistent interface = 5* easy!

Great App.. This has been a great App. I have used it for quite a while now and it works great. I feel it does what as advertised,and with great quality. The only thing I wish it had is a widget for quick use without having to open app itself. The reason for four stars,fix that problem and it gets five.

The Best Recording App EVER!!. I hate writing reviews, but this one is totally worth it. As a student, being able to record lectures (especially when you're not quite paying attention or the prof talks too fast) to listen to later is really convenient. Most apps can't record lectures when you're in a lecture hall, but this one does that and more! This app can pick up sounds from anywhere, I'm totally convinced, and it's really easy to use. I do kinda miss the cutsie icon of the Happy Talk days, but that's neither here nor there. A fantastic, easy to use app which is totally worth the money. Really like the transfer options available now, making it even easier to use!

Freakin' AWESOME Customer Service. I downloaded this app b/c it had great reviews from the people that offered to give a review. I really liked the quality of the recording and used it to record a very important conversation and then tried the ever so fun FTP game... Now, I've used FTP on a pc before, but it was a new thing on my iMac. After a week of UNsuccessful attempts to get it to upload, and after talking to Mac Support for an hour, I found an email address to "Report a Problem with HappyTalk". In a matter of minutes, I received an email back telling me "no prob! we can help! you should have emailed us sooner!!" And after EXCELLENT customer service and a few emails back and forth, Andy (My HappyTalk Angel) had me up and running and SUCCESSFULLY transferring my recordings via my own FTP!! I just have to say, HappyTalk rocks and so does Andy Berlin!! Thank you Andy!!!!

Excellent recording app. I'd agree with some of the earlier reviewers that this is a very, very good app, though the interface takes some getting used to. I record meetings and interviews every day for work, and I've tried several recording programs, including the built-in Voice Memos app, which disastrously lost a number of recordings. In combination with a Blue Mikey microphone on my iPod Touch, HT Recorder produces high quality recordings, even catching quiet stuff, keeps them in an easily accessible list, and has a relatively straightforward system for transferring them to your computer. The main screen has all the basic buttons I need, clearly labeled - New recording, Pause, Stop, Play, etc. The playback works as well as any app's, with a clear timer and useful 5 second forward/backward buttons. The odd parts are the curved volume meter, which takes more screen space than necessary, and the curved playback track, which should be much larger to allow easier scanning forward and back. Grabbing the playback square when you first start playback isn't as easy as it should be. Ideally, I'd like to see more forward/backward playback buttons, with maybe a 30 second option; the ability to email clips longer than 30 minutes; and, the Holy Grail, syncing with iTunes and transfer via the iPod Touch cable (which I believe Apple forbids or prevents). But after trying several other much weaker apps, this one is clearly the best.

Decent voice pickup in noisy environments.. Used it five years and counting. Great for lectures, capturing important conversations at work and school.

Only .WAV and .mpa files.. .Mp4 files and other audio files are not supported. Very limited editor only supports only .WAV and .mpa files.

for version 1.1 this hits the mark. Wednesday; November 19, 2008 Well, I just emailed the developer a long list of feature requests, that I'm sure many of you have submitted as well. Regarding the app as it is now (version 1.1) it's functional, fast, and the features are what you need. The bookmarks are very helpful, especially when you're recording lectures, and are not willing to scrub through your recordings later on to find specific part, the skip back 15sec / 5sec is mega useful, and the ability to append (add to the end) of an existing recording will save you from recording 20 separate files when all you need is one simple TODO list ;-) . The quality of the recordings is very good (as mentioned by many other reviewers). The FTP offload is a turn off (and this is coming from an IT guy - even I don't want to setup an FTP server... even if it's an anonymous TFTP app that I have to launch everytime I want to offload the files). Make it sync with iTunes for crying outloud. I'll give it 5 stars when the developer puts in the features I requested. In the meantime 4 stars is still stellar in this picky reviewer's book. enjoy!

Using this forever. I have been using this app from the beginning of time ... I actually can't remember... but it has been flawless and gets better over time. Simple, easy, efficient and great recordings. Thanks!

Excellent Audio Recording App. I've used this app for 4 years for recording lectures for a graduate degree. The quality of recording is excellent. Very easy to use and easy to share recordings with classmates. Integration with Dropbox. Love the ability to listen at faster speeds. Can back up 5 secs when listening. I've tried other recording tools but this is the best!

Best of the best. This app is AMAZING. I recorded a meeting of six people at a table in a coffee shop where there was all sorts of background noise. I was sure the recording would be useless, but to my wonderment the recording was significantly easier to understand than sitting there live. Truly impressive. I had tried another recorder app and had to do tons of post-processing to end up with anything even close to intelligible. With this app it's just a matter of converting the CAF file into an MP3. (But, why CAF? That's not a very widely supported format and it's not one LAME supports natively, which adds an extra step. AIFF or WAV would be much more convenient.) There is nothing I need to do to make the recording better afterwords. And for me, being able to upload the files from my phone to an FTP server is SO much more convenient than having to go to my computer, put the iPhone app into web server mode and download from my computer. This app would be worth the asking price just for the FTP capability, but the audio capabilities of this are top notch! For those who ding the interface: this is a utility, not a game. Yes, it's a bit odd, but it's not at all difficult to figure out or use. Personally, I can't imagine why that would be worth deducting a star when this app *PERFORMS* so well.

Save your money. I’m a professional and I’ve used so many free apps that work much better and have a simple look. This app look and feels like an antique radio. It’s the second dumbest choice I’ve made this year. LOL seriously. I want a refund at least.

Incredible for students- little bug for Iphone 4 though. Not only does it make the best recordings of ANY program available (i've tried many) but it allows you to play it back at variable speeds! This is SUCH a useful tool for med students. Further, the alteration in speeds is done without a distortion of the pitch- this is the ONLY program for the iPhone that will do this. I really cannot say enough about it. There is one problem though that I hope they address: I'm using an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.01. I use headphones to listen to my recordings. If I play a recording.... and then pause it. When I resume the playing just after the audio then plays out of the iPhone's speaker, not the headphones. I have to unplug the headphones and then plug them back in each time to get it to play back through the headphones. Please fix this!!! Only flaw I've found in this incredible app. Would definitely be 5-stars if this were fixed. Thank you! Update: 8/12 The problem I mentioned in my review is definitely there. However, some times it works perfectly. I'm not sure why yet. The problem is not a result of some other program though. If the program is working properly and then I reset my iphone and restart HT recorder, the problem comes back immediately. There may be some other program on my iphone (that while running in the background) resolves the issue. Can't wait till this is fixed.

Simple to use. This recorder works very well and does exactly what I need from it. I am able to export seamlessly and it records very clearly.

Excellent app. Have been using this app for a number of years. Works well for recording meetings. Recording a seminar or class using the conference setting is very helpful.

Nice Recorder with Odd Interface. HT Recorder is one of those apps I frequently use that does a terrific job of doing the task it's assigned. It records and catalogues audio very capably and takes very little time to load. The thing I just can't get over after many months of using it is how weird its interface is. The home screen is clearly designed with a smart idea in mind: the buttons are positioned along a curve that naturally matches the arc of a right-handed user's thumb when moving across the screen. However, the clever layout doesn't stop it from also being a bit unpleasant to look at. It's not mind-bogglingly ugly (see screenshots), but it doesn't conform to the usual, polished look of iPhone utility apps, which is mildly frustrating because I want familiarity in a recording utility. Nonetheless, my irritations with the app are purely cosmetic, and I think the developers have done a fine job with this recording app overall.

Love this app. I've been using this app for years and I absolutely love it . I am amazed that it does not have more reviews . The sound is awesome and it does pick up voices that aren't picked up on other recording apps that I tried on my phone when I could not access my Apple ID to download this app on my new phone. Boy how I missed this app during that time ! Thanks HT Recorder... I'm so glad to have you back on my phone now!!!

Top guality. Amazing recording guality even for musical instrument exercises!

Six stars is not enough.. I ‘ve depended on this app for years. The conference mode works extremely well.

Disappointing on iphone 4. Sure it may have its uses and the manual claims it works better on iphone 3 (probably because iphone 4 has two mics and the noice cancelling might not know what to cancel when you get further away from the phone...just a guess). The recorder does create louder files than almost any other recorder I tested. Its recordings are just much more noisy and more compressed sounding than other apps. I tried to apply a broadband noise filter to a recording from it when I got it on my computer to try to remove the background noise and it just made it worse. This app might work if you just want to record lectures and play them back at variable speeds easily. Nevertheless, if you can't handle white noise and lower clarity on an iphone 4 (which I couldn't for my purposes), you'll need to find another app.

Definitely a Professional Recorder. I recorded a conference presentation last week and the results of using HT Professional Recorder went well-beyond my expectations. Sitting about 20' from the presenter, I set HT Professional Recorder in "conference room" mode and placed my iPhone 3G on the table with the iPhone mic aimed at the presenter's walking zone. (The recording lasted about 1.5 hours.) Afterwards, the wireless file transfer to my MacBook Pro was simple to setup and very fast. (File size approx. 166MB.) Clearly, the developer has put a significant amount of time and effort in optimizing the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms for the 3 modes--large halls; conference rooms; dictation--the clarity of the recording was stellar. I have purchased and used Bias' iRecorderPro and Griffin's iTalk Premium; however, HT Professional Recorder's 3 DSP modes are valuable and important differentiators. Congratulations Applied Voices for delivering a high-quality audio recorder for the iPhone.

Great. I have used this app for about four years to record band rehearsals and it’s great. Cats are always asking me if I’m going to record rehearsal and it lets me share the recordings with my band via email. It’s a great tool for what I use it for. The sound quality is excellent for what it is. I hope they update it before it stops working on my iPhone.

The best!. I’ve relied on this app exclusively for business and personal use for the last 5 years and it is still far superior to the other recording apps available in features and ease of use. This includes the native iPhone recording app. Many thanks to the developers for the consistent updates and improvements over the years.

No ice, just white box. The application is good and functions like the developers say it does. The recording is clear. However, the icon on the iPad is a white box with grey lines drawn in instead of the black icon for the application. Developer doesn’t respond to e-mails.

Best recorder in the App Store!! 6 Stars!. I purchased HT Professional Recorder in Oct 2008. Since July 2008, I have purchased or downloaded the following voice recorders below. Many of them were free but others were fee-based. I downloaded some free, then purchased the in-app upgrades. At the time of downloading, they were all rated at least 4.0 since I certainly was not interested in a mediocre recorder. In my opinion, HT Professional recorder is unquestionably superior to the others below. Specifically it is superior in voice quality and clarity and most strikingly, the ability to pick up distant audio and maintain a strong playback. The other recorders I have downloaded include: Dictaphone, Voice recorder pro, ALON Dictaphone, Voice Memos, Awesome voice recorder Pro AVR, My memos the voice recorder, Voice recorder HD voice memos, Voice notes, Recorder HQ for cloud, HD voice recorder, Recorder Plus II, Voice recorder recording app, REV voice recorder, Voice recorder and audio editor, Audio recorder HD and voice memo, TapeAcall lite, Callcorder Pro, Call recorder lite for iPhone, Smart recorder transcriber AF, Plutonium recorder, Dragon recorder, Voxie pro recorder, iTalk recorder, and Quick voice recorder. Over the years, I check back in the App Store specifically for new recorders by searching every month or so to see if there is anything better than HT. It still amazes me that HT was so far ahead in the technology back in 2008 that still no one has caught up with them. However, there is one thing on my wish list for Applied Voices LLC: please make your HT recorder for the Apple Watch (with complications) also! It would be a great addition. Thanks for a great product and keep up the good work!

The best!. Simply the best app for voice recording! I highly recommend! Shame it's so unknown for many people:/

Top Shelf. I used this app to survive college at 50 with a TBI attended UNC w/ a 3.926. So proof positive that HT Recorder can help you too!

Incredible for meetings/lectures, etc.. This app has been incredible for getting quality recordings of lectures/meetings and other random recordings. Its ability to pick up and somewhat isolate the speaker's voice is so helpful. I was really getting worried when the developers hadn't updated this app in ages and I was getting a warning from Apple that the app was out-of-date. But the developers came back and did the major update that was needed and got it up to speed with 64-bit. I am so happy this app was not abandoned! Even though the app is not as intuitive as it could be, I'm giving it five starts because it performs like no other recording app I've tried. What I would suggest doing after first opening the app is to click on the Library > Menu > Owner's Manual. Read the manual once through and you'll be in good shape and very happy.

HT Professional Recorder. I just bought this and the background ambient noise is too loud. What am I doing wrong. Setting are not as easy as you would think. The regular voice recording on the iPhone seems to have a better sound? I’m open to suggestions.

Really great fidelity and easy to use...except for. The home page takes a bit of interpretation because the icons are not always intuitive. The earlier version that looked and operated like a real recorder was much easier to understand. But, and this is a big BIG, it does the job. I've used this successfully at board meetings and in conferences. It has the capability to record long periods and do multiple files of recordings. The playback fidelity is good and easy to understand. Unfortunately, I've not been able to download the files to my computer even though HT claims I should be able to do that via FTP or web. FTP asked for info I had no clue how to answer and the URL given for the web downloading indicating that the server could not be found. When the files downloading is made user friendly, this will be an excellent app.

Lot to like about this app. This is a very full featured sound recording app. The silent mode functionality is excellent. Has many export options in addition to standard e-mail. For me, being able to export my voice recordings to Dropbox is HUGE and I have a separate folder in Dropbox just for voice memos from this app! Voice quality is excellent. A couple areas I hope the developer considers: 1. Although there are many export options, there is no option to export your voice recording as a voice message. The only app I know that can do this is Apple's native Voice Memo app. It is a great feature when you don't want to bother typing a text message. 2. The UI is very "Spaceship" themed, but relatively non-intuitive and busy. Of course, this app can do a lot of things, but the UI needs some work to try to make all that functionality less cluttered looking. 3. I use this app on my iPhone and iPad. The UI looks pretty nasty (fuzzy) in 2x mode as it is a pretty low-res rendering. There is an iPad version of this app, but buying the iPhone AND iPad versions of this app would be a very expensive proposition. Customers would certainly appreciate a universal version and it would make the app even more attractive. But, all that aside, this is a 5 star sound recording app. Make the changes in 1-3 and Apple will need to add some more stars to its rating system! :-)

Does not playback through headphones. Nice write up on the features. I don’t mind paying for quality. Major fail on this 10 dollar app to not be able to playback recordings through headphones. Listening to playbacks through the external speaker is feasible in most situations.

Captured Ghost voices. I have stopped looking at other recording programs after using this app. Editing capabilities within the app (rename, file into my own folders, trim, copy-to-new, etc.) make it easier to handle files when I can't get to computer to download. Used this in cemetary and some homes where I captured "voices of ghosts" that are clear and were not detectable at the time they were recorded -- very impressed! (Listen with headphones to pick these up, but very audible when found in the file.) Have set the recorder to record all night with "skip silence" option. It's surprising all the bumps, some snoring, door creeks, crickets, dog barks, and if lucky... the voices beyond that visit while you sleep or are away. Low drain on battery and able to hit sleep button without interrupting the recording session. Have ran all night with a full battery charge and wifi off. To record, I use an external "pill type" mic on an Ipod touch 3rd gen and if you don't want to remove it to listen to recording, just hit the "speaker" button on the main page. Love the skip ahead or rewind in 5-second intervals in order to listen to sections over, plus make bookmarks. Super-easy to download to computer to archive recordings. If I had one request, it would be to make the REC and NEW buttons easier to distinguish at a glance. They are the same size and same color. Five stars-- Keep it up!

Excellent recorder. I've tried many, many recording apps and this is the best I've found. For capturing a conversation or a meeting it is simply excellent and unbeatable. I particularly like the ftp feature for uploading a file -- simple and convenient. One minor quibble: the app names audio files using colons (:), which my Windows ftp server (the excellent Filezilla) cannot handle because Windows does not allow colons (:) in file names. So each file must be renamed before it can be uploaded with ftp -- and you only get one opportunity to rename the file. If you blow it, you cannot get back to a place where you can rename the file (at least I haven't been able to find it). At that point, your only option for upload is via your web browser. If the app named files using a hyphen (-) where it presently uses a colon (:), this problem would go away. Despite this minor annoyance, this is an extremely high-quality recorder. Well worth the price.

Great service great app. Got reply and solution to my email inquiry within five minutes. I do not exaggerate. I like the app because it does things that no others do - like record over previous mistakes. This is very useful for dictations. Also the detection of background sound is great and useful for recording meetings and lectures. If these folks could make the recordings highly compressed and email-able then this would be improve the app but as it stands it is a very fine product. I bought it as happytalk original last year so this free upgrade is a pleasant surprise especially in contrast to some other iphone developers who typically make you pay for an upgrade like this.

Better than the others, but not "slick". I have several voice recording apps that are really slick with sophisticated graphics and intricate file transfer systems. But Happy Talk has something none of the others have: REALLY GREAT SOUND!!! The thing that makes the sound great is the ability to control the type of voice going in. I like to record the classes that I teach with my Etymotic headset. But that puts the microphone right next to my mouth. The other recording app I used was too sensitive and causes all sorts of horrible distortions. I asked the company that made it if they could make a volume control and they said no. Apple wouldn't allow it. But HappyTalk Recorder has a setting for "Very Close" that is EXACTLY what I needed. Don't let the 1989 graphics and interface turn you off. This product is much better than its interface and instructions suggest. The user manual (available on their web site) was written by someone who knows English well, but doesn't quite have all the best phrasing. Also, some of the steps are confusing where you're working on the iPhone in one step and then have jumped to your computer in the next without any warning. But I would easily recommend this application over many of the others.

Use it all the time. I use this to record my speech-language evaluations all the time! It’s great. I love being able to set bookmarks within a recording & to clip sections. Lots of functionality! I do hope it continues to be updated to work with newer iOS releases

Hate when apps are abandoned. This app hasn't been updated in two years. Anyway, I cannot find a way to record with bluetooth headphones using the mic that is built into them. Also, when I'm recording with the built-in mic, my Voiceover starts talking through the speaker of the device, which is in another room, and not through my headphones. Could this be fixed?

Keeps crashing. Application for iPad needs updates as it keeps on crashing on new iOS!

Great but not perfect. Great app records seminars and meetings better than standard app. Should have password access then I change to 5 star review

Impressive. I was surprised at how well it picks up a voice across a large conference room. The best I've tried, and it will be the one I keep using. I would love a better interface with better icon and graphics though.

Unique features. Initially found the interface unsettling as its non standard as far as iOS UI paradigms go and .. Well some might say it's a little ugly. That being said once I got used to how it operated I found the interface to aid the unique and highly productive features of the app. My use case is capturing musical ideas. Useful features for me are Adding onto the end of existing recordings Awesome audio transport(seeking) mechanics Copy / paste sections of audio Speed settings Recording organisation Good sharing features Quality adjustments. I would like to see the ability to insert new live recordings at any point in an existing recording. This would be great to add voice notes / commentaries about sections. Other apps don't come close to the functions in this and I'm thankful it exists.

Yep. It is worth every star.

excellent sound-ordinary interface. easily the best sounding recorder for the iPhone,but I find the main interface pretty ordinary,most buttons too small for big fingers,and not very ergonomic,should be more basic and obvious,ie big green button for record,big red button for stop,you get the picture? Would it be possible to name bookmarks afterwards? Has the potential to be brilliant.

Wireless Transfer makes it a Hit!. I have a new pc and there is a current conflict with iTunes so I am not able to backup my iPhone at the moment. I needed something quickly and it had to be able to transfer the recordings wirelessly and was a WAV file. I did some searching and found this software. It not only meets my expectations but exceeds them. Recording is simple. Transfering the recordings to my pc for burning to CD is simple and fast compared to other programs that need a backup first. Well done!

very good!. this is one of the best! you can upload recordings to your ftp server! if you need, this is the one!

Takes so long to prepare. Makes me miss important things cause it takes so long to load up on my iPhone 6. Please make it load faster.

Relied on since my iPhone 4. I have relied on this app in its current and previous incarnations for recording talks, sounds of nature and my own thoughts since I’ve had my iPhone 4. Robust, reliable, easy to use and functional. One of my favourites.

Great App, needs to be updated. I have been using this app for few years now.. Please update the app to be compatible with iOS 10..

Great App. Great little app...Extremely clear sound and very impressed with how good it picks up even the quietest sounds/noises. Highly recommend. GO TIGES!!!

Best Ever. Best voice recorder I’ve used for last ten years. Until recently I can’t get most recent recording about 50 minutes each onto my computer but still working on it. Can’t click and drag files. Comes up with error 51 or 54 I think.

Brilliant!. Been using it to record lectures and the sound quality is fantastic just like being right next to the lecturer :-) But needs some work to make it easier to rename and delete recordings, other than that really good!

The best there is full stop ...!!. I have tried 5 voice recorders & this is the best by far. The sound recording & play back is perfect the only thing is it could do with some beter graphics .

Great audio Quality , a little work on the interface wouldn. I have been using this app to record interviews for my thesis, and I have to say I can't fault the audio quality one bit, in fact it has surpassed all expectations. Even when I recorded a focus group, each voice came through crystal clear no matter how far they were from the device. If I had one complaint, and its not a very big one, is that the interface is not very intuitive, particularly with the library page, and renaming files. It would also be nice if you had a choice between USB and wireless for data transfer. Particularly for large files. However, overall it is by far the best recording tool I have used.

By far the best app for voice recording I ever saw.. This app is the best I ever used for voice recording. The recording quality is outstanding. The levels are loud even when the sound source is changing positions. Highly recommend for any student.

Great clarity and organisation. Love being able to save recordings to folders. Great quality

So good and for music. Ive used this for years and still enamoured. Recently started using “MUSIC” setting to record singing too. Good enough for me.

better than average. obviously it has many more features than the native iOS4 voice memo. here are the pros and cons of ht professional compared to the native iOS4 voice memo app: Pros 1. lots of features such as bookmark, different speed playback, 2. much higher microphone gain (3 levels can be set manually) so voices further away can be picked up and heard during playback. 3. ***Voice Activated recording AND calibration (calibration of this feature is not obvious). To calibrate, you should start recording at least one second BEFORE the talking commences so that the application is able to calibrate the threshold for the background noise. This information is available in the user manual, but not obvious otherwise. Cons 1. very large filesize (2mb per minute, its 3 to 4 times LARGER filesize than native iphone app's voice memo) 2. sound quality after much testing and comparing with the native iphone voice memo app, ht professional's sound quality is not significantly better, if better at all (although everything is much louder)than native app... so i'd rate it as only average in sound quality, but because of the high gain, it is able to pick up voices from further away. 3. uses wifi, not usb (iphone's native app uses usb) for this premium price, i thought the sound quality would be much better, but all it is is that its much louder so its usable when you need high gain, volume gain in native iphone's voice memo app is way too low...

Very useful and functional app. Needs update. This app is very good for recording lectures and meetings. However can't give high rating as the last update was 2014. Soon incompatible with later than ios 10.

Saved me $200. I was on the verge of buying a high quality dedicated voice recorder when I thought I'd check out what I could get for my phone. This did all I was looking for with great quality. Thanks for saving me $195.

Fantastic recorder; easy to transcribe from too.. Very, very pleased with this app. Just finished recording and transcribing a press conference, and it was the easiest thing to use ever-- plus, quality of sound is really great. Was sitting in the last row in a small room with five rows and just had my iPhone in front of my laptop. great stuff.

A very handy app. This does exactly what Applied Voices claim. A very handy app for audio recording on iPhone. Unlike some apps, the file transfer on this one works well, even for longer recordings. If this had the option to select the audio sample rate (with options up to 44.1KHz), I would give it five stars. I am a musician and sound engineer and am pleasantly surprised with the iPhone's internal mic. It really does make a difference at 44.1KHz sample rate. This app currently only records at 16KHz which is fine for meetings and voice notes but not really adequate for music and sound effects. Overall though, a very stable and practical app with an intuitive user interface. If you are looking at recording meetings, conferences, audio notes and other voice related activities, this is well worth the download.

Hawesbury Great Guys. "THE BEST" as simple as that

Awesome app. I've tried other iphone recorders but ht pro is the best one that stands out so far. I did some tests with two other recorders and what I love about this app is that it's so sensitive it can even record my whisper clearly from across the room. And it recorded my normal speaking volume from another room! Awesome! So far the best recorder to use for meetings and lectures. My only request is to change the unattractive icon and make the UI controls bigger and nicer looking.

Excellent. I've recorded several multi-day conferences and the quality is excellent for an audience (versus podium) recorder. Try to keep local paper rustling to a minimum. Turning the phone bottom (where the mic is) to front of room helps. Expect a full business day of recording to use about 0.8Gb of RAM. If you go to standby mode as soon as you start the recording for each session, recording all day long uses about 1/3 of the battery (3Gs 32Gb). Transfer of recordings to PC is painless via WiFi, and you get good files that can be transcribed if necessary. Only trap to watch out for is to NOT activate the Skip Silence control on the recording screen--that usually mucks up the recording for all but the most amplified systems.

Great for recordings in lectures and meetings. Best recorder I've tried for recordings in large rooms.

HT pro amazing. I use this every day. It's great for all voice and music . Well with The price. Have used it for 3 years now. Rev. D

Very disappointing!. I bought it for the email function which is horrible. You can't access your contacts, you have to manually type in email addresses. Who memorizes email addresses? Stick to the free one unless they change the way to send recordings.

Best in class. I have tried numerous apps in order to record meetings and HT Professional recorder is simply the best in my opinion. The latest update confirmed for me that this app is still being cared for and developed. It is simple to use. Audio quality, especially in a room full of people is very good. The developer is quick to respond to inquiries.

Some concerns. Has any one experienced it shutting down during a recording. This has happened numerous times and query if it can be shut down by someone remotely

Awesome. Recordings are crystal clear

The best one yet by far. I try a lot of apps of different types. It's fun for me to compare apps. I have stopped trying voice recording apps because this one is so good that I honestly can not imagine anything better. It has all the features that I could need and can't imagine anything missing. I didn't like the interface at first but I really like it now. It takes no time to get used to despite the fact of how different it is. It does everything as well as I think the iphone technology allows. I will stick with it until I hear of something better, but I am sure that will not happen unless the developers go to sleep. There are a few interface things that I would like tweaked but I will not bother them about it since it is so minor. Thanks to the developers for a great app.

Basically perfect. Make big recordings, in any size room, and immediately FTP them to your server. Add auto file-naming, easy buttons and other things, you're all set.

Worth every penny!. This app is great. Who would have thought the mic on the phone worked so well.

Guy. Amaizing

Excellent quality at distance. Picks up voices when there is a lot of ambient noise as well as from a distance. Looking forward for the iPad edition.

Amazing Product. I use it all the time for interviews and lectures, the quality is second to none.

Le meilleur ! (The best one! Without hesitation.). HT Professional Recoder est le six ou septièmes enregistreurs (payants et gratuits) que j'utilise. C'est le meilleur ! Sans hésitation. Je fais fréquemment des entrevues dont je dois ensuite extraire et transcrire les passages qui m'intéressent. C'est le premier qui offre tout, les fonctions nécessaires (recul de 5 secondes, vitesse variable, signets aux endroits de mon choix, etc.). Il vaut largement plus que son prix. J’ai déjà payé plus cher pour beaucoup moins! HT Professional Recode is the sixth or seventh recorders (pay and free) that I use. The best one! Without hesitation. I am doing interviews which I then extract and transcribe the passages that interest me. This is the first to offer all the necessary functions (five seconds back, variable speed, bookmarks to places of my choice, etc..). Its value is well above its price. I already paid more for much less!

Great. this app works great! I used it during a seminar session in college. the prof was about 8-10 feet away and it worked all right. the only downside is the inability to compress audio files, the accidental calls which may lead to cancelled file transfers and the slight static noise. Despite these flaws it still delivered respectable audio quality. I would strongley recommend future users to use 3rd party software to increase the quality of sound to match those from dedicated digital voice recorders. howver despite these tiny issues, this app saved me when I forgot my dedicated voice recorder and for that I strongly recommed it.

Pro quality recorder, best in class.. I'm rating this 5 stars because I want this app to be up there. It's great as it is, but also has great potential. The developer has nailed the sound quality and the quality vs. distance issue. Nicely done. Sync is nicely done as well, and Bonjour communication is there by default. Good to see as well. I wouldn't mind seeing the sync page - both on the web and in the app, look a bit better. It's a minor issue, but it'll just add to this app's value in the long run. Another request: e-mail ability, that does not rely on someone else's servers. Just straight from the iPhone. All in all, however, this app is worth the money. Well done.

GREAT FOR SPEECHES. I went to a speech and was 10 ft away from speker and it recorder awsoeme and clear.the app is awsome.

User. Fantastic quality- worth sooo much more. Great app.!!!

It works. I find the UI very ugly but I'm used of this kind of style with old unix interface. I tried a lot of recording app free and not free. I'm a student in a philosophy and political science program at the university. I need to record the cours and it's rare that I can find a place in front of the speaker. This app is the only one I can use to record something understandable through the classroom over the clickiclic of my own keyboard. That's an app that works very correctly that deliver exactly what it is written as description. Good work.

Big buttons. Make it for iPhone 6 !

So far, so good!. Agree with the interface design woes, could be a little nicer. In terms of function, this is a great app. I wanted to record a public transit bus full of people chatting using my iphone, so I bought this, and minutes later I was uploading the recording to my web server via the FTP upload option. The quality was great considering the in-phone mic I was using. The only thing I'd like to see is a more common file to be used when recording, .mov or .mp3 or a flash .FLV would be ideal and helpful for mobile audio blogging/tweeting. Great app though, lots of potential - it is totally worth the 10 dollars. Look forward to seeing this evolve!

Cannot send recording to self. I got this recorder bz it has good sound quality and can be used for lectures. The HUGE problem is you cannot email lectures longer than one hour to yourself and my phone doesn't have enough memory for everything. You can stream the videos to your comp over the Internet but you can't save it that way either to your comp. Company: Please fix this!!!

Great app. Good quality for sound. Easy to use. Would be nice if one could record a phone conversation. Maybe it will come later in an update?

Excellent. No regrets, and the troubleshooting support is outstanding!

Solid performance!. Having used this app for years I can vouch for it’s solid performance: Quick to start Very sensitive mic (or less so if you choose) Regularly maintained by it’s Dev team Numerous options Keep up the good work!

Wow. I tested this for the first time last weekend at a small venue concert. When I got home and checked out the quality, I was amazed at the recording quality! From the hardware aspect of the iphone, and from the capacity of this app equality. The only complaint was that I was not able to adjust the recording level. The native recoding was quite high and there was some minor clipping and distortion on the high end that I would have preferred to correct at time of recording, as I did see the recording was in the red a peek volumes in the concert. I saw afterwards that I had it on the wrong setting for the environment, so I am not sure if that had something to do with it, still a recording volume control would be great. I did some simple post processing to clean up the file a bit further and sample to stereo with enhancements, though this was merely to see what else I could enhance, and was certainly not necessary under normal circumstances. The result was something I could play on a stereo. While not true audiophile quality of course, very reasonable and sparked a “wow” out of me. I look forward to using in boardroom meetings and training events.

Great App. This is a great app and I’ve been using it since it first came out. My only problem now is that when it was updated to iOS 11 version every time I edit my recordings to copy and paste as new recording, it crashes on me. Please fix. Thank you!

Rad. How about simultaneous recording of telephone conversations?

Excellent, repeat EXCELLENT APP. Best App for my iPod Touch, in utility (recording under different situations, file transfer, etc), in performance (sound quality*), ease of use (clear, intuitive interface) and in support information (understandable Manual, WOW!). FIVE STARS+ [Note: * with an Apple earphone with remote and Mic] I would happily pay more, but nobody asks! Albert Liem, Alberta, Canada

UPDATE PLEASE. PLEASE FIX STARTUP RECORD FUNCTION IS NOT WORKING ON THE NEW OS 4.2 THANK YOU

The app is great but... I really like the app but I really really hate the app interface !

Excellent!. Well worth the $$. Does exactly what you expect! Super sensitive mic can even record from inside your pocket. Files are easily and wirelessly transferrable to your computer.

Adsterra is the most preferred ad network for those looking for an alternative to AdSense. Adsterra is the ideal choice for new sites with low daily traffic. In order to advertise on the site in Adsterra, like other ad networks, a certain traffic limit, domain age, etc. is required. There are no strict rules. Sign up!

Excellent voice recorder!. This application has incredible voice quality and makes it easy to transfer the recordings to your computer. Just remember that there are 3 settings for recording to choose from. Auditorium works great for classrooms! Also this application allows you to lock your iphone and still record audio. Thanks Applied Voices!!!

Fantastic! 👍. Oct 13th 2013 - I was looking for a recorder I could append recordings to at will. HT is fantastic at this. Even re-opening recordings from the library are easy to add to. The quality and the options for recording depending upon environment, ie; person to person, classroom, conference, are great. This is one of the few 5 stars i've given this year. If I had to suggest an improvement, it would be to re-design the main screen to increase the size of the "New", "Rec", "Play", etc buttons.

This is one of the most useful apps I have. HT Professional Recorder is one of the most useful apps I have loaded onto my iPhone. I own a couple of other recording apps, but what makes this a standout is the automatic level adjustment for the different voices in the room. I can record meetings with people all around the room, and the voices are captured with remarkable clarity despite the huge differences in sound levels in the original environment. If what you need is an app to record voices in suboptimal environments, this is absolutely your app. I highly recommend it. And I almost never recommend apps.

Great sound quality and inexpensive!. Have had this installed on my iPhone for a while, and I think I paid more than .99 cents for this program. Whatever the cost, this program is worth every penny. Great sound capture and I like that I can email the files to myself. The interface is a bit difficult to navigate, but still worth it for the sound quality. 5 Stars!

superb recording quality, clumsy interface. The recording quality is the best I've seen among recorders. But the interface is very clumsy and unintuitive. E.g. cannot name a recording once it has started, have to wait for it to finish. List of recordings is under the Library, but to rename a recording you're looking at there you have to switch back to Recorder mode. In short: brilliant recording engine, but the interface needs lots of work. Also, the .wav file format it records cannot be played on Google Drive without downloading. But, perhaps this format is one reason for the great recording quality?

The Best Recorder I've Tried. This is the only recorder I've used (and I've used many in the store) that allows me to record and playback at a very decent volume. The others made it feel like I was listening to voices just above a whisper. Haven't had to use an external mic or amplifier with HappyTalk. For the price and quality, can't be beat.

Mixed Feelings. I really like the sound quality and features associated with this app. What I don't like is the graphics layout. I really would like to be able hold the phone with my right hand and also control the record button. It's placement, however, makes it a bit awkward. With iProRecorder the record button placement makes it easily controlled with one hand. I realize my complaint about this isn't likely to lead to a complete graphics redesign, but just wanted to throw it out there. I would easily pick this recorder except for that one drawback.

Well done!. What a great app! I just used it to record an hour long meeting for work where I was supposed to keep track of people's questions for later...so simple to do with the bookmark feature! Love how it saves space by optionally skipping silences, great intuitive interface, just really well done. Can't comment either way on this alleged battery issue since I happened to have my phone plugged in the whole time anyway. Thanks for a great app!

Gropalo. To the ones who are asking for updates, why updating a pretty good piece of software that is working properly? I have been using this app for over 2 years and I never had any problem with it. And also, from experience, updates most of the times don't work as smoothly as they should. Please, as the saying goes, if it's not broken don't fix it.

Good, with one exception. Recording and sound quality seem to be the best so far of all the recording apps I've tried. The "no record on silence" is an excellent option. File size sharing option is also a plus. The only problem is the UI is pretty bad. Might have looked nice back when we had iPhone 3, but this is iPhone 5. The UI needs revamping and needs to really live up to the retina display.

Acceptable. I held off on giving this five stars. Just because it's the best recorder program out there doesn't mean it's great. It's great for lectures in class, meetings, and interviews. It picks up voices astonishingly well, BUT ( and that's a big but ) the processing and audio quality is garbage. These days, it seems we have to choose between being able to hear what we have recorded, and it sounding like garbage.

Good app, but.... Okay, this is a good application, but there's one major complaint. The interface on HappyTalk Recorder is not even close to what it could be. This app doesn't look it should be on an iPhone. There are apps out there that just look like they're meant to be on an iPhone (even other recording apps) and I think that in another software update, you should definitely change the interface around, and make it slicker. Otherwise, keep up the good work!

better then others!. The only other recorder I have tried is iTalk. Happy Talk picks things up way more clearly and with enough volume that I can listen to it again from my iPhone. My only problem has been uploading the recording to my computer. I wish I could upload directly through my iPhone cable. I would also be nice if there was a readme file that would walk users through the FTP upload setup. As far as the recorder goes, it's great and my experience gives me no reason to doubt everyone who has said it's the best even though I haven't tried them all myself.

Great App...Missing One Thing. I've been a long time user of this app and believe it does a fantastic job of recording! I've tried over 15 different recording apps and for me this is the best. There is one thing missing...Dropbox support. If this app had that feature it would be 6+ stars! Maybe the next update?

a wonderful app with excellent customer service. I have used this app consistently for a few years even though I have tested several recording apps. This has been the best. Recently I got a new iPad and had an issue of downloading this app again. The company responded within a short time and answered all my questions over a few times. The product is wonderful and the service is as good as its product.

Best Recorder of All. I've tried many recording apps, and three or four are pretty good, but this app has it all and is easy to use, the sound files are easy to edit, and it is bomb-proof. It is the best by far and completely reliable. Now, if the developers would release an iPad version so I don't have to turn my iPad on it's end, it would be perfect. I am getting better at reading sideways, however.

Worth Every Penny. This app is great and definitely the best , I've tried several. Would be 5 stars but the fact it can get interrupted by phone calls, even if you don't answer them, drives me nuts. I use my phone for business and frequently have people call me to leave a VM. The program should continue recording unless I actually pick up a phone call, but this might be a system limitation not the program. Other than that it works wonderfully.

Best Voice Recorder. I needed a very good voice recorder, so I got 5 of the highest rated ones to compare. This, to me, is the best one by far for these reasons: 1. When playing the recording, the volume is simply louder than the other recorders. For the others, one has to put your ear right up to the speaker to hear the recording. The HT Recorder's volume is more than sufficient, and the recorded voices are very understandable. 2. You can edit the recording right within the app. 3. There are 3 possible settings that can be used to adjust to the volume of what's being recorded. 4. Supports wifi transfer. 5. Supports a compressed format. 6. Has an optional auto-pause feature. Note that after using it for a bit, I sent a suggestion to the designer and got an immediate response. So there's great customer service too. Note that this is the best for voice recording, but not necessarily for recording music.

Patrick Familetti. The sound of this recorder is fantastic. Ability to add to the end of a recording (both new recording and any previous recordings made) and the recorder automatically bookmarks the newly recorded position. Very easy to use and is being updated with a catagory selection. You may overlay, recording over any portion of any recording. The playback speed is adjustable. I have tried about 8 different recorder applications and have found this one to be the best of them all. Thank You HT for your program and I am looking forward to see if you will have any other applications that you may create.

Narrowed to HappyTalk of all the voice recorders. I downloaded HappyTalk yesterday. It’s a great program. I have purchased all of the voice recorder programs trying to narrow to the best one. HappyTalk is it. The voice quality is excellent and the different recording profiles are unique among all of the recording programs. Also, the volume is loud so that's a big help and difference. The interface is decent and the ftp upload excellent, however many users may not have a ftp server available but if you do, then this transfer method to PC or Mac is the easiest.

UBER AWESOME Does What It Says. This app is extremely well designed and is a pleasure to use! It appears to be flawless, as I have never encountered a single bug or problem. I have been using it almost a year to record my dance classes and meetings. It is intuitive and therefore easy to learn and make use of immediately. An app this rich with features should have a User Manual--and it does. It matches the app in quality. For me, all of that adds up to Total Bliss!

A Must Buy. This is the best recording app to date. I bought and downloaded ever recorder for the iphone and this is the winner. I would have easy paid atleast 20$ for this app. The only thing better then this recorder is the customer service. Their was one feature that i was looking for above all others that no recorder had, I sent in a request for happytalk to add that m new feature and in a hour I got a responce, then in about a week it was added. Thanks Andy

Quite nice but need some improvement. I love the skip silent function, it's so useful. However, since we can't edit while playing, it's difficult to decide exactly at what seconds we should set start-end points, a little annoying when we have to play and stop several times. Moreover, the bookmark points would be very convenient if we could give each of them some specific name rather than just stars.

Excellent application. Perfect application! I'm using HT to record my voice while learning to speak French (a humbling experience). I plug in my "Apple Earphones with Remote and Microphone" and touch the record icon. After recording, I place the iPod touch (2nd generation) into my Altec Lansing "inMotion" portable speakers and the sound is fantastic. I've been using this technique in my French classes and allow other students to hear their voice.

Best Recorder I have used. This is by far the best recorder I have used. I have purchased many of the other ones here they are good but this one is very professional, quality of recording you just have hear it to believe it's coming from this iPhone. Cost more but in this case you get more than what you pay for. Regards.

best recording app. I'm a journalist, and I've tried many recording apps for use in my job. This one is the best I've tried by far. One small request I have for the developers is to make the "idle timer" option a permanent setting for the app so I don't have to keep selecting it for each recording. Thanks for creating such a great app!

Very nice app. This is an app that does excactly what the developer promises. The ability to select your recording prefs i.e. very close, conference room or auditorium, is great and allows the user to get very good results even at a distance with very good fidelity. Had a bit of a problem getting the ftp setup on my iMac but the developer was very prompt in response and sent me explicit instructions on how to overcome the trouble. The tips worked perfectly. Great customer service. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a great voice recorder.

FINALLY!. I can record my lecture classes with confidence! I had been struggling with Apple's crappy "Voice Memos" app for an entire semester before I finally gave up on it. That thing would shut off nearly every time I used it, and for no reason! I even had airplane mode on and plenty of space. HT Recorder just WORKS. It is worth every penny of $5. No more checking my phone every 30 seconds to see if it's still recording. HT is successful every time, the WHOLE time, and my classes are 3 hrs long. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yes!. This app came right on time! I compared it to the built in recorder by recording an important four day, four hour lecture. Each day sitting in the same seat. The first day I used the built in record. It was alright but to quiet. Second day used this app and there was an extremely noticeable difference! The third day I used the app with the skip silence feature, also worked very well. The last day I tried a different audio recording setting with results that made the onboard app seem like it didn't even try! This is now my go to recorder!

Simply Excellent. I rarely write reviews but this app is so well designed and is such a huge productivity booster that others deserve to know about it. By far the best, most intuitive and high quality dictation app on the market. Only request: get rid of the inserted text that appears as part of every email. I (like many other heavy dictation users) send their files to the same person/people most of the time. They don't need to keep seeing the same text at the header of every message. (yes, I know I can erase it but I would like it to be blank by default in the message body). The above minor issue pales in comparison to the overall excellence, usability and value of this app. If you want to add a few hours to your week, put this app to work for you.

Works great! Less filling!. Priced right and very functional without needless complexity. Well thought-out interface and simple to use. I am glad I found this one after trying another recorder app that was rated well but did not perform. I would give another star for some folder based management of the recordings, and faster startup from the splash screen. It's not terribly long, but at least half the time, when I decide to record someone else, I should already have BEEN recording, so every second counts. Nice-to-haves would include some peaking indicator (distorts horribly with the iPhone headset, even in Very Close Mode, yet works perfectly with the built-in mic), and also: maybe a UI that's just a bit less garish on the color scheme. I have not evaluated the upload feature yet, buy this looks SOLID so far.

Easy to learn. I would not call this app intuitive, except perhaps the basic record, stop, and playback part. The app itself, however, will open up a nicely illustrated user's manual, and it is not difficult to understand or learn. This app has been great for college use. The sound is nice and clear on my ipad, even recordings off my speaker phone! Lots of choices for export, including over wifi, as well as dropbox and email. I did hesitate over the price, unsure if I would get a lemon. Now that I have it, I consider it money well-spent.

Wow. By far the best recording app ever. The only request is this... I want to be able to copy parts of a recording and mix it with another recording. And also make it so we can turn down the sensitivity of the mike. And change the playback speed and possibely reverse recording. I know this is a lot, but please see what you can do, thank you (:

Best voice recorder for business. After checking all the recorder apps, this was, by far, the best. I use it for notes and business. Easy to use, excellent quality. I download by WiFi to PC and then convert to text using Dragon NaturallySpeaking - almost perfect. As already mentioned by others, need bigger buttons, and option to kill the speaker and use a headset/earphone. This would be perfect for business, doctors, etc. with those minor changes; and I'd be willing to pay even more! Plus, more importantly, I can get an almost immediate reply to any questions from the company.

The best voice recorder in the app store. I have a touch 4th generation and i have been looking into an application that allow trim recorded file over write recorded file and append recording. After purchased a few apps read about 40 reviews of other apps. I found this to be the best in all. Great sound. Great features. Great price. Great work. Keep working for more feature like echo effect etc. Thanks guys

Great Recorder, Really Ugly Interface. This is an outstanding app. Easy to use. High quality. Multiple recording environments. I like the fact I can send files to an ftp location for easy retrieval. Files are recorded in Apple's core audio format, so if you want an mp3 you need to find a converter (not a big deal). You can be recording, stop the recording, then resume without beginning a new file. All in all, a very useful app. My only complaint is that the interface is ugly, ugly, ugly. It reminds me of the colors chosen by my daughter in her first Powerpoint presentation in middle school. Performance, however, is not important, and this recorder delivers.

Super app!. Went to a convention today, the app worked flawlessly in a large hotel meeting hall during lectures (seating for 100), recorded 3 of them, each 40 min long. Then uploaded to webserver, then downloaded into iTunes. One caveat: be careful with your file names. This app doesn't like the chars: & or / your files won't upload to the webserver with them. Thanks!

Unbelievable Quality. I usually don't write reviews but I was amazed at the quality of the recordings. I turned on the recorder and walked in another room in my house, spoke with a normal voice and the recorder picked it up crystal clear. I used the recorder in a large meeting yesterday. The recording was actually better than I could hear the person speaking when I was in the meeting. I am amazed. That said, it would be nice if the screen would flip flop when held upside down. Keep up the great work!!

Please update to 64 bit!. I love this recording app that I've been using for 3+ years now. I mostly use it for recording choir practices so I can practice on my own. Super that you can compress individual recordings and entire folders, and upload to Dropbox or just email them. Never had a problem using it. But now I'm getting a message saying that this app will be incompatible with the next iOS release. Please, devs, show this app the love it deserves and keep it working on future iOS releases!

Absolutely Worth the Price. This app is worth every penny. The support is great. The developer even provides a user's manual! Nothing like a little RTFM when you get stuck and the FM is actually there and is understandable. I love the fact that to download your recordings he provides two options that are not dependent on a proprietary or 3rd party service. You can transfer recordings via FTP, which is slow as heck btw, or use the built in web server. The sound quality is excellent and it does not drain your battery life. I recorded for over an hour with very little affect on my battery. Great app!

Amazing. I got this app 2 years ago and I still use it every day for my lectures. I can sit anywhere in my Lecture hall and get crystal clear recordings of my professor. Cheaper than the $50 hand held recorders that all my other classmates have. This is easy to transfer recordings. I used to transfer using wifi but now I connect the USB cord to my computer and transfer it that way. A 50 minute recording takes 6 seconds to transfer

Excellent with two suggestions. The sound quality is unbeatable. I record interviews, sometimes in noisy cafes with soft-spoken people, and I have no problems hearing them on the recording. Only suggestions--folders for organizing. I often have to keep several different recordings for the same person. Also, the ability to email files would be really helpful.

Great for Transcribing. I've purchased several of these recording apps, and this one meets my needs the best. Here's why: I often record speeches when I'm out walking or driving, and then have to transcribe them myself. HappyTalk's ability to slow down playback, along with it's 5 second and 15 second reverse buttons, make transcribing a breeze. Can't believe it's only 2 bucks.

By far the best audio playback sound. I have tried many of the "most popular" audio recorders on this site, but none have as clear and loud playback quality as HappyTalk. Great to record lectures and conferences as I did this weekend. Love it. The Resume recording feature is more flexible then most. It's uploading feature could be more user friendly.

Fantastic recorder app. I use it to record my two young kids when they're having a strange conversation or more often making up a song. It can be set to begin recording as soon as the app opens so it's fast to start. It's nice to be able to tap it once and let the phone stay where it is, rather than picking the phone up to video the scene. It allows the spontaneity to continue without interruption. The record quality is great and easy to work with the resulting files. So glad it was updated to 64bit support! Thanks!

Perfect app. I have been looking for a voice recorder that repeats! This is perfect for students who have to memorize paragraphs... I touch the loop button when I'm driving to the store or to work... I have coursework memorized in a couple of days. It is awesome! Playback sound is good, and you can email notes back and forth with friends/students.

very slick app!!. I've used other recorders on my iPhone but this one is pretty slick and easy to use. The recorded audio is very good. I use it in meetings a lot. I especially like the auto start record feature which automatically starts recording when the application is launched. The web server internal to the iPhone was easy to use to review online and download audio files.

Good update except bookmarks gone. UPDATE: I'm happy to see the latest update for 64-bit support. However, I lost the bookmarks in all my recordings, which was quite a setback for my workflow. I'm leery about updating immediately in the future. OLD REVIEW: I've used this app for years now and it's never let me down. I'm a news reporter and this app works excellent for recording meetings and one-on-one interviews in noisy environments. I recommend it to all my colleagues. It's probably the best money I've spent in the App Store.

Best recorder... Best recorder in app store bar none. To the guy who mentioned the security of the website, it's the ip address of your device on your home network not a website. I have many apps that connect the same way and there is no security concern since its your iphones ip on your router. The interface is different but great in my opinion and should not be changed. All in all this is the best voice recorder in the appstore in terms of quality and functionality. Slight learning curve but their help files are great. I use this to record lectures in a huge class. 5* app, highly recommended.

Amazing-squared!. The most advanced, highest quality recorder I have ever owned, let alone app on my iPhone! The first time I used it was taking what I thought to be a wild shot, by trying to record a particular bird call I like that I've only heard in one small area in the Sonoran Desert - and then only for a few minutes when the sun rises and sets each day. Fooled me! Those birds had to be 20 yards or more away, but it recorded it like they were right beside me!! Great job! Get this app and you'll never use the crappy one that came with your phone again!
