Dictaphone - Audio Recorder App Reviews

“Free” app is unusable nonsense. Tried dictaphone. Figured I’d upgrade it as required. Made a thirty minute dictation. When I went to listen to it, I realIzed there isn’t even a pause button or scroll control. All you can do is play or stop-and-fully-rewind. Give me a break, their free version isn’t even skeletal, it’s emaciated. Basically you’ve taken my dictation and held it hostage unless I pay you a 1.99 so I can download it to something useful. Real garbage. And not at all a reasonable implementation of free-with-paid-Add-ons. Deleted.

Excellent Application. I use Dictaphone, in all situation (you name it) and have not yet been deceived along with a incomparable quality!

Love the Continuous PlayBack!. I record musical ideas with my phone and I had yet to find a recording app that plays each file one after the other, until I downloaded this one! Love it! I can listen to my musical ideas as one continuous stream, which is fantastic.

Sharing is caring. It would be a lot nicer if I was able to share as a text message

Works good. Free and not too hard to operate. Records seminars accurately on the “normal” setting with very reasonable iPhone battery drain.

Great app. I can record using the Dictaphone app and then transfer them to another program where I can edit them. Good sound and easy to use.

Ok, but can’t rewind or fast forward. Love the quality of recording on this! So frustrated that there is no rewind or fast forward with this app! I use this for my college classes so I can listen to them again. There are times when I miss something and want to rewind, but I have to start at the beginning. Very frustrating!

Simple, efficient, just what I needed. Thank you. Easy to record notes, then easy to delete when done. Excellent!

Peetsmeboo. It is somewhat tricky to learn how to use, and the manual could be written and organized better, but that might just be me. I wanted a simple audio recording app for my tablet so that I won’t miss a class I can’t be present for. I think this should work well. It records for a long time and is clear enough. I appreciate that it’s free!

So far, so good. I’m new at the new innovations and tech of today. I was basically dragged screaming into 2010 tech. This looks like a valuable method for my research.

Best One!!. I’m very satisfied with the app! Please do NOT change anything about it!!

Can’t forward. I like this app but would like to share my dictations for when my husband is not in church with me. Please make this feature easier.

Pretty good for what it is. Have to pay for the voice activation feature but still the cheapest option for that and pretty intuitive to use.

Multiple upgrades needed for it to be functional.. Why do I need to upgrade in order to send the file??? Why do I need to upgrade AGAIN to be able to grip the recording. Really- just make it paid to begin with, or only offer the pro upgrade. If I knew every add on was a-la-Carte, I would have spent $5 just to avoid the hassle.

Rev. I am very pleased with Dictaphone, I have been able to record talks, and I like being able to type in the title of the talk so I can go back to.

Instant pro is me. It was so easy! Now I record my own songs and storytelling! If not going for pro it will make sentimental gift. Easy to use. Next will try to export or combine or edit tracks. Great fun I also like cove app for easy grooving

Great!. This works perfectly for what I needed and the files don't take up huge chunks of memory. I had to pay a few bucks to get what I wanted but I am happy with the result.

It records and stereo when you need it to. So helpful.. It works exactly as it should, I only use a very small subset of the features.

Great app!. It’s never let me down and I’ve used it for years!

High Quality. Pesky Dialogs.. Several reviewers have mentioned The fact that the app has a pop-up that frequently asks the user to rate the app. I think that’s why the overall rating for the app is as low as it is. If I haven’t already found another app, I will purchase this one when this is fixed.

Can’t use the recordings. I physically can’t access them or export them. I have no way to use the recordings I have already. If I’m mistaken I’ll change the review but for now I can’t use them so it is a bad app for recording audio

Love it. It’s a good app if you want to record lectures! You can record and be able to take a picture of the board WHILE IT STILL RECORDS. So it’s perfect for colleges students

Great App. Thanks for a great app - I’m finally free from a PC-based system that sometimes brought me back to the office on weekends for dictating. Turns out, my transcriptionist says voice quality from the iPhone sound files is better than from my old dictaphone!

Great Tool. I’ve used Dictaphone for a while now and it has been a great tool for me in the for me in the business world. With conference calls and meetings, Dictaphone has helped me to keep accurate notes on all the information and direction given to me.

So far so good. Does what I need it to do- record voice and list recordings.

Cheating wife. Do you have

The instant the thought hits you it is ready. I have been using this app for a very long time. I have hundreds of notes over the years. It is very convenient.

Annoying. This dictaphone is ok in terms of sound quality but is really annoying in that I can’t just scroll back a few seconds while listening to a recording. They should at least have -15 seconds playback. I end up popping back minutes behind, it’s especially bad on the small iPhone that I use, and I have to rehear the annoying voice a professor I interviewed, over and over. Also, the dictaphone app is continuously heckling me about giving it a rating, so I finally did

Good product. As a secretary for non profit groups, I record meetings to make it easy to produce accurate minutes. This app does the job on my iPhone.

No different from the default mic app on IOS. It doesn’t hold your place. Sometimes it just randomly skips back to the beginning - v frustrating! Especially when it turns to the lock screen, you re-open your phone and it will skip back. 15 second back or forth would be a useful function... Expandable timeline for longer clips would also be useful... Point markers for longer clips anyone - yes please! Larger timeline so it’s easier to click on etc etc... Not difficult to implement I’m sure, but not available.

Best Audio App!! Provides great clarity to your voice memos.. The best part about the app is the audio clarity that you get!!

Exactly what I have been looking for.. Get this app. Very simple to use.

Great App. This app is amazing. It’s easy to use and best of all it’s free. It has helped me with my studies. Developers keeps doing what your doing to make this app so good.

PERFECT for Songwriters!!! ⭐️. This app is perfect for songwriters. I love being able to record my song ideas quickly. Then I love being able to listen back to all of my ideas and have them play back automatically one after another. I also love being able to delete recordings quickly. And I love being able to export my good recordings quickly. I also appreciate that this app creator made two apps that we can use. I use one for writing songs, and I use the other app (which is basically the same app) for recording my Piano improvisations. So thanks for making two apps for us to be able to use! For future updates, I hope in will allow for a bigger font, as my eyes have a hard time seeing small fonts as I age. Again, I love this app, and I use it every week, and it helps me to write a song every week!!! Thanks to the creator of this app. Blessings to you and your family. Kind regards.

Does not work as it should. I bought this for recording notes as I inspect my apiary. I had hoped to use with my Bluetooth headset. Unfortunately enabling the headset causes feedback because it doesn’t seem to turn off the phones speaker. Also seems to have problems if it can’t detect either a cell connection or a Wi-Fi connection.

Simple to use. I just started using this app and love it. I do mindful meditation while walking and like to use the dictaphone to record profound thoughts, then listen and document them when I get home.

Simple interface. This is a simple interface and works fine for recording notes and playing back your recordings.

User manual. User interface is only mildly user friendly. In the app, go to the section called “About” and you will find a link that lets you download a user app. Developers otherwise will have you believe all you get to guess is their web page high level descriptions of the functions and some you tube apps with front end ads. Generally guys, you need someone to help you run your business. You’ll do better if can get that!

My story. Today my story would be it is cold, very very cloudy. I hope that we have a great great great Christmas this year our family and friends together the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we come to you bringing everything together to. Would you like to be part of this Christmas at our family would you like to be represented by a family member at our saviors birth?

Great app, a little tricky. Could use a more intuitive menu, but functions are there if you search.

Enjoyable. Clear screen image and simple to use.

Perfect for me. Using this to record dreams, and it’s perfect for that, easy to find and review what I’ve recorded.

Buyer BEWARE. It is not user friendly. It’s not easy enough to upload to a Social Media or Podcast Account. Your asked to purchase inside NO ADS then not able to transfer what YOU dictate for the reason you purchased the app! Another rip off!

Good pick up. This ap picks up my voice and plays back strong. I have also used it in meetings and it picked up presenters voices also as well.

Ok. Other than persistent pop ups asking for a review it serves my needs quite well. I hope now the pop ups will cease!

Works great. Got it to keep notes on the fly to review later

Nothing special. I was looking for a hands free recorder for my phone. You know, open with my Bluetooth, initiate recording using Bluetooth buttons, stop recording using Bluetooth buttons. While driving or walking or whatever. This app advertises itself as hands free. There is nothing hands free about this app, other than it eliminates picking up a pencil and paper to record notes. LIKE EVERY OTHER VOICE RECORDER EVER MADE.

I like it. It’s a great little tool to make notes when you need to.

Great Resource and Tool. I have found this to be a very valuable resource. It allows me to record hours of lectures and in the comfort of my own home and at my own pace (very important ), play back all that was said. This enables me to capture all that I may have missed in the classroom or corporate meeting .

Meeting recording. Good for person to person starts to drop down as others enter

AWESOME 😎. I was look for something like this and it’s hope for my iOS 1q record :3 so thanks you sooo much, I’m so happy right now hehe 😜

Recorded file disappeared. Dear ALON Sotware Ltd I recorded a precious conversation Q&A with my dad however to my surprise the file has disappeared from the app. I decided to purchase the premium version however still unfound to date. If someone can assist I’d much appreciate. Thanks Mirko - Perth, Western Australia.

Works well. Works well

Ol Mate. Awsum

Better. This is better than the paid version. Best to buy the paid version, download and then remove it. Switch back to this version with the added functionality. The he paid version has let me down too many times when recording "just" stops. This version"simply" works.

Very useful App.. I have only had this App for a short time but already it has been very useful. Easy to use and convenient

Top app. I love sing song ideas, great sound when I record

Poor export functionality. Airdrop only exports to 3rd party apps that you have to download? You can’t export to iTunes or Voice Memos? Exporting to various drop box or Cloud apps or FTP isn’t useful. It’s pointless having a great recorder if you can’t use the files outside the app?

Dictaphone. Great quality, simple to use

Noice. Good, noice

No issues here.. iPhone6s Plus... I use this app twice a week to record lectures that take over two hours each. No issues on playback or audio quality. There’s a small delay between pressing pause and the audio pausing, but otherwise, it does everything I require.

Sound quality is nice. Also thanks to iTunes file sharing friendly!

Jimmi dee. Easy to use and not obtrusive with adds all the time

Easy to use. Almost perfect for my needs. Would love a feature to delete multiple recordings at a time though.

Positive review. This app is perfect in almost all areas. There is one field I would strongly recommend for an update and that is an edit tab. After pressing the stop button there is no returning to edit any further on the original recording. Otherwise, this very practical and user friendly.

Simply the best!. Intuitive. Great design. Classic.

Works well. Easy to use and allows you to only purchase the functionality you need.

Good basic use. Getting hang of features ie playback ,editing recording . Good for my basic use of learning to record my voice . Worthwhile &handy.

Beware of the adds. Another APP that has adds that you need to spend 0.99c to remove then. This isn’t good for a business APP as so distracting while using it

Easy to use. Great to use on the go, I'd like to be able to go forwards and backwards within a recording more easily though.

Good. It's good, it does what it suppose to do. Small holes for improvements as it hangs at times.

Life Changing. This app is transforming my business, and introducing new thought processes. As a hands on engine builder in the Motorsport industry, I am now making constant notes to implement and improve processes that streamline the order in which we build an engine. Right from first contact now with a customer in the quoting process, right through to the end of a finished and tested engine, we are relying on processes that I'm building and constantly refining with the convenient help of this great little app.

A bit buggy. The recording part was smooth, quality of the sound is great. But when you are trying to listen, bugs appear and experience becomes unbearable. It’s really hard to find a spot in the recording that you need, tapping on the audio progress bar is challenging, fast-forward and back buttons don’t work. Here’s another bug: when phone goes to screen saver and after a while you pause it from the locked screen, if you go back and unlock it, and then unpause it in the app - the recording will start not from the place you paused it last, but from some other much earlier time. I wrote it in hopes that someone will fix it, please do!

Excellent quality. I have used this app to record meetings in boardrooms that have been over an hour in length and have found the sound collection and recorded quality to be excellent.

Big ad banner in the middle of the screen. Would be a good app but there's a huge banner advertisement right across the screen ... Worse thing ever

File size. Only allows me to email small dictation by 9 separate emails

Easy to use. Dictaphone is easy to use with plenty of recording time on the free download version.

problems with sending files. In extended version still have problems in sending files

Can’t export. As good as other similar apps in the store but with this one you can’t export the files to anywhere (including your iCloud or computer) unless you pay. I find that dishonest. There are free versions that don’t trap you and your recordings.

Giving trouble lately. Whenever I make changes, I have to leave calendar go to another app open and close, then return to calendar to see whether they have taken effect

Mr. Good

Great for meetings. I have used this to record a number meetings that vary in length to over 90 minutes. I picks up all the conversations in large rooms. It is an excellent tool for minutes of meetings. It is easy to skid Le through the meeting and fast forward to specific places. Great app.

Good!. Picks up sound pretty well, records and stores. Pretty simple & easy to use!

Dictaphone does the job.. Found this dictaphone picks up every background sound. Generally the play back quality is very good and clear. Have found on playback the app drops out a number of times. When you go back into the app the recording does not start where it dropped out. It starts from the beginning again which is frustrating when trying to finalise minutes and the recording runs up to 60 minutes. Fast forwarding the playback doesn’t always work. The app drops out and I am having to go back to the start of the recording again. I was hoping dictaphone would save me time with minutes but it’s taken a lot longer due to the drop outs.

Danny SILADJI. Great App, easy to use and I finally found it after looking on hundreds and hundreds of other apps this fantastic I recommend it the best way possible I can try it out

Cool app. Very good app helpful

Pretty good. Pretty good but am only writing this so that hopefully it stops asking me to rate it !

Icanheareverything!!. Needing help with this app I have recorded my home when I'm at work and and when I'm listening back over the recordings I can slightly hear my partner and a woman in the background ... Does this app have edit so I can focus in on the background noise ?? Please help me I'm desperate 😭

Good stable app. Good

Great!. Very discrete. Easy to use. Just wish I could edit the recordings to keep what I need.

Comment. Great tool

Works Great. Easy and works really good

A great assistant!. I use this wonderful app to learn lines for plays I am in. It is especially helpful at present as I have three different plays on the go! A must have!

Dictaphone. A great app, easy to use and does what it is supposed to do.

Excellent. Thanks

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. I will be surprised if they allow my review to be visible but here goes. This is a warning to all who want to use this app for business. Do no. Don’t rely on it working effectively as it doesn’t. Despite my asking support for help which has gone unanswered I found that not one but twice I have pressed the record button to tape committee meetings it hasn’t recorded the conversation. It happened again today!! I made sure several times that it was recording and it appeared it was. It is only after the meeting was finished and I went to press the stop button did I realize it hadn’t actually recorded a whole hours worth of a meeting. Be wary. Be very very wary.

Hgyht. Hjf

Catch out. Easy open. I'm looking for a quick catch.

It’s been helpful.. Quite average usability. When scrolling through your recordings you have to have one playing to be able to click on another to plays just scrolling to find the one you are after and clicking play doesn’t work.. it sounds odd but it’s annoying to use. Also I use my recordings in my music and so set it to 44khz recording but the App which just switch randomly to 48khz for when I have recorded some things and so it’s unusable.. so yeah a few glitches on this. I don’t recommend it but it’s free haha

Good recorder. Great recorder but banners are a pain. If anyone can work out how to stop them please let us know. Sound is pretty accurate and app is easy to use. Thanks guys!!

Essai micro. Je veux écouter mon entegistrrment

Simple and perfect!. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

007 moi. Très bien

Ne pas télécharger. Il faut payer pour exporter les enregistrements!!

Manque important point de vue pratique. Il serait impératif de pouvoir enregistrer certains appels téléphoniques. Après avoir vécu dans une relation toxique et dangereuse pour ma santé, je vis du harcèlement et même après avoir mentionné que les appels étaient enregistrés, croyant que cet application pouvait me sauver, je continue de recevoir sans cesse des attaques, harcèlement et acharnement. Je dois cumuler les preuves car je vis un cauchemar, j’avais confiance en cet application jusqu’au moment où je recherchais les enregistrements audio des appels que je ne trouvais aucunement, l’enregistreur fonctionne jusqu’au moment de décrocher l’appareil. Très déplorable et bas de gamme

Nalie 1976. Très bon outils

Bonjour. Excellent outil de travail académique et de recherche!!!

Scam. Holds your data hostage, pretty much a scam.

Facile à utiliser. Bon système

Commentaire. J’ai des enregistrements que j’ai perdus, je ne sais pas pourquoi et ça me fâche vraiment! Est-ce pcq je n’avais plus de données disponibles!? Mais pourtant j’ai des enregistrements avant et après qui sont toujours là!? C’est à ne rien comprendre!?

Dictaphone. Excellente et utile application.

Great app. Awsome

Very poor. Very poor

Love it. Can record for hours

Super. J’ai pu éviter d’acheter une enregistreuse.

Cool. Ok

Son. Super efficace son très bon

Excellent. Très bonne application, merci!

Fees?. Better than a Text because the recipient can read the tone of our voice

Très bon pour faire des pauses dans le même enregistrement. Très bonne application

Here you ho. Never used. Will try firsr time today.

Dictaphone. très bien

Gets what I need done. I enjoy it

Tisane. Super !

Blues writing tool. Excellent tool for writing my blues tunes!!

Great app. Great app. I find it easy to use, labels recordings well, play backs are good quality, and most of all it’s free.

Dictaphone is great. It opens directly to the recorder. It’s immediate for people who need to frequently access a recorder.

bruh. U need to f* pay to share files. Awesome

J’aime beaucoup Dictaphone. Excellent outil pour rediger ou faire des entrevues….

Rating Dictaphone. I really like using it for recording speech samples for language sampling and disfluencies evaluations .

Can’t do anything with files. While the app is free, you have to pay $2.79 to be able to send the file anywhere. It’s completely useless unless you only want to listen to the file in the app.

Utter crap. App has been begging me for a review so here it is. Impossible to export recordings out of the app. The world would be a better place without this in it.

Stephie Alcindor. Good

Dictaphone. Really good for having fun withfriends

Great voice recorder. Does what it’s intended to.

Dictaphone. Vraiment difficile à faire fonctionner. Il se crée de nouveaux dossiers et incapable de le répartir de l’endroit où on était.

Misleading. No free lunch

What a racket.. This app forces you to pay three bucks just to share your recordings by text, email, whatever. Whatever its redeeming features, this is pathetic and manipulative. Stay away.

Nick-213. Yahoo

Dictaphone. Super pratique, je m’en sers comme preuve de conversation 👍

Super!. J’adore

Not practical. Cannot export recordings

Jo. Très bon dictaphone

Music recorder. I also use it to record my guitar music on my phone.

Meet my needs. Good quality of the recordings!

Efficient. Easy to use

Auditive1952. J'aime bien.

Super. Super

Ssonny. Good recorder, still learning

Great. Word

Wasted my time. If you need it to export audio files like I did it charges you for a simple feature. Not worth it.

Super Simple App!. If you like simple, this is a great app! I really like it bunches!

Doesn’t allow for share with free option. Not even text or iMessage of short recordings

Not perfect, but does what it does rather well.. I'm a novice about the tech behind digital audio recording, but my experience with using the app has been good. The option to change recording quality is very useful for those of us stuck on 16Gb phones. The app does look a but dated, however, and I have lost a file or two (among dozens) during recording, for reasons I am not sure about (I believe it doesn't like being interrupted by phone calls and other notifications). The free version also has rather distracting ads (which I always end up clicking on without wanting to) so premium is probably worth it to avoid the hassle. Sad that this is now the only way developers think they can generate income, but that's another question. Otherwise, I am favorably disposed to the app, and would therefore recommend it to anyone who is looking to do better than the native voice memo app.

It’s useless. It’s useless without an ability to share voice records. To record smth only to yourself? It’s rediculous.

Hard to send. I want to share a recording and I don’t know how

So far so good. Easy to use, lots of record time

Hehshshshss. Bshshehe

So Easy To Use!. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💫💫💫💫💫 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ✨✨✨✨✨

actually records more than 2 or 3 minutes unlike some of the other apps i have tried. good app (so far)

I love this app!. I've been using this app on my old IPad for a long time , to record any song idea that comes to me before I get a chance to write it down. It works perfectly and helps me to keep track of my creative projects. I use it to record my choir rehearsal too so I can listen and practice my part even when I'm at home, and plays it back crystal clear. I would definitely Recommend this app. Thanks to the creator/creators of this app for sharing one of your excellent work with the world! May you be granted many more inspirations from the universe to create more amazing apps like this one.

Great app. Great for recording anything and everything! It is invaluable!

Otherwise great but cannot such recording quality. Very good app but can I get recording quality to stick at 16 kz. Reverts to 128/8 no matter what I do

Awesome. I really enjoyed

Dacyrs. Amazing for music

Horrible. Have to restart phone or it doesn’t work. Horrible.

Very nice. Useful

Great. I use it to learn dialogue. Works great!

Garbage. What else to say

Évaluation. Fuckall

Nice app. Great for memos on my Apple Watch. Easy to use and very functional.

Easy to use. Easy to use

So far so good!. This is my first day with Dictaphone; am very impressed…

Awesome and useful app. No doubt it’s handy in all occasions!

It doesn't let you retrieve a recording :(. It works okay as a free app, but I can believe it doesn't have a way to retrieve an accidentally deleted recording.

Good God. Excellent piece!!!!

Warning. This app collects personal data while using the app. It may not be safe for sensitive records.

Great app but crashes. My requirements are that the recorder have folders or categories that can be selected prior to recording. Another requirement is that it has to have good export capabilities. I use the app for when I am training my horses to record notes after each training session. Notes go into the folder for a specific horse. Dictaphone has those capabilities and I have been using it for several months. However, it has started to crash any time I select a different folder. I deleted it from my iPhone 5S. Reinstalled it. And it still does the same thing. I have nine voice recording apps and this one would be the best of the bunch were it not for the crashes. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm going to have to use an alternative recording app to continue my work until the crashes have been fixed.

It’s ok. The app is fine but it keeps asking me to rate it, so I gave it 3 stars.

Does not allow to share or send recordings. Does not allow to share or send recordings No permite compartir o enviar las grabaciones 👎🏻

I am in luvvvv.... I have so enjoyed taking this little piece of tech and finally learning and knowing how to use something besides talk or text! After Notes deleted ALL my entries-- ideas, poetry, inventions, quotes, etc. one day I decided I'd have to switch to the old-fashioned method and take out my invention journal and a pen...but my thoughts go so much faster than my hand can write. This brought me to this dictaphone and now, with a couple of $.99 upgrades (I don't care if I can have a good organizational system for all that flows from this frontal lobe of mine) I can finally get every idea in full-color detail. Though I don't like to hear the sound of my own recorded voice, it's a small sacrifice to make for me. Now I need an app that translates from my dictaphone to written word...

Good job. Easy to use in nice and clear. I’m very pleased

Was good until..... I can’t use my watch to start app on device anymore. FIX THE WATCH ISSUE

Great. Does what I need it to.

Too slow to boot. Useless unless you have time to record. If you need to record immediately, this App is not for you.

Rate. Microphone

Disappointed. Just didn’t work as advertised I’m sure it’s stalled all the information off my phone wasn’t happy didn’t work as advertised

Great App. Exemplary App which effectively gets the job done.

Dan. It is super! Recommend.

Excellent!!!!. Excellent app, very practical and effective!

Not Rocket Science. This performs a very simple function very simply. I approve of this approach.

Bad. Avoid at all cost. Cant open recordings after version upgrade.

Difficult to operate. This was not easy to use.

No directions. Can’t figure how it work’s ,will keep trying .l need to record conversation when bidding job and play back later. Send help!!! Thank’s

Good. Can be better!

Review. This App is Extremely Helpful, Clear, And Much Needed.! Thanks, Ms aged a

Pelvic floor. So far so good !

Easy to use. Works well and easy to use.
