Voice Record Pro Reviews

by -Simpson-

VoiceRecordPro is ridiculously frustrating during recording.n There seems to be a magical combination of buttons that must clicked in order to keep from losing your audio. Whatever you do, don't try using anything like pause during recording. This "option" appears to erase everything recorded AFTER you resume recording.

For example, I completed an hour long interview this morning, tapping pause early in the recording. I promptly tapped resume when I was ready to continue. I checked the time ticker throughout the recording to ensure that it was recording. When I finished, I tapped pause again. Then stop (as I have learned in the past when it erased another interview, this is the other "magical" combination necessary to keep it from erasing your recordings). The only audio I have from this morning's interview is pre the initial pause - a huge 1 minute of 60 minutes worth of audio.

I have contacted Dayana's technical support via email to try and recover the lost audio from this morning. I've heard nothing back from them. Don't risk your data by using this ridiculous app.

VoiceRecordPro is great..has more then what you can ask and does more then what you can think of. Reason I gave it 3 stars if because out of all the great and wonderful feature it has, it can’t record on Apple Watch or iPhone let say if the screen of Apple Watch goes black. It would be great if it can record without showing that it is recording for those important moments in life that needs to be recorded without others around knowing that you are because it shows on Apple Watch or iPhone screen. This would be a great spy feature on VoiceRecordPro and also on Apple Watch if it could record simultaneously without others knowing. If this feature could be added without removing the others great features that it has I would give it 10 stars because no other app can compare to this one except for the fact that it can’t record simultaneously while Apple Watch screen is dark or off or on sleep.

Update: I've used VoiceRecordPro for four years now and still consider it top of the line. The advanced edit allows you to cut out middle sections of a recording easily. It's visual too - easy to go right to the problem area based on height of audio spikes. Speaking and comments are usually narrow bands compared to the wide bands when music or vocals are located in your recording.

I use VoiceRecordPro to record vocal tracks for sound qualifying. It is a one step process to convert a recording to MP3 format. It sends the MP3 as an email attachment to easily share with others. I like the feature that allows you to trim a recording and save to a new file. Great for cutting out conversations prior or after a vocal recording or just selecting a section of the music to focus on when practicing or sharing with others. Moving recordings to a folder involves checking a box, then move to folder to separate from recordings organized by date recorded or imported. Importing from Dropbox is easy and allows access between IPhone, IPad and desktop computers. I upgraded to the paid version and thought it was a true bargain. I've paid for other recording apps and quit using them because VoiceRecordPro is the best.

Voice Record is a technically perfect app from my standpoint as a regular user since early 2014. It’s design is solid and it definitely does exactly what it says it does, and it does it reliably. I have downloaded many apps like this, but none compare to the flexibility built into Voice Record. I rely on it to manage several oral histories from my family and friends, many of whom are no longer on the planet. It has never let me down. I like the wide variety of file formats and file storage options. No other app comes close to this one for operational flexibility. I wouldn’t hesitate to make it a mission critical app in almost any business dealing with voice recordings.

Interface is definitely a bit “different,” probably purposefully designed to be nostalgic. But in terms of what VoiceRecordPro does, this thing is perfect (and ridiculously powerful for a voice recorder). Especially for folks like me who like to tinker with things.

This obviously was some app that enthusiasts threw together, and it shows because it pays attention to all kinds of weird details I never would have known to expect. And it works excellently on the Apple Watch too, so if you’re looking for a replacement for Apple’s built in app, this is probably what you’re looking for.

I wanted something to record birdsongs to help ID the various concert-presenters in my yard. Very easy to go from install to recording in few easy steps.
Was able to record and ID a grey catbird who performs nightly free concerts in our front yard. Exceptional sound clarity (probably owing more to 7S-plus mic). The virtual anaolog display makes it easy to see if it is picking up the sound that you want it to.
I was able to edit the length to crop to just the part I wanted. Also able to pause the recording while waiting for loud car to pass. There was no noise on the recording (like an analog might) to indicate where I paused & resumed.

Great app for your super-long business meetings, general audio gathering and my songwriting. Got VoiceRecordPro back in 2015. I accidentally left it on while recording. Did not realize it until 7-1/2 hours later. I stopped the recording which was totally saved even though my iPhone had been sleeping during all of that time. This was without turning on the silence detector. The result was a perfectly working 217MB MP4 audio file. Are you listening, Maxwell Smart? As far as I know, the recording time might not even be limited.

The feature set on VoiceRecordPro is great including audio sampling selectivity and file formats. Sound files can be moved without needing to go online or use cloud. Files are automatically named by date and time down to the second but you can edit file names.

The ads are confined to a tiny row space at bottom of app, not very annoying but I would recommend upgrading to ad free version for a cleaner app space and to reward the developers for this popular and well proven recording app.

To say VoiceRecordPro, voice recorder pro, has some nifty advanced features is a major understatement! It’s very professional and comprehensive. I am truly astounded at how many features are packed into this superb app. In addition to editing features there’s “append” which enables you to pop on your intro and outro track amazingly straight from VoiceRecordPro ! Finally, my fave: upload features! From VoiceRecordPro I can upload directly to my dropbix and soundcloud accounts! The coders and developers thought of and implemented everything you need for voice work and recording. VoiceRecordPro makes my career easier. Thanks, mates.

Well, I do my classes on Skype and if I record on Skype it’ll delete after a few days, so I got VoiceRecordPro and it let me record at any time anywhere and so I could even import it or export it. There’s two ways to do it, one Wi-Fi download and use other devices, two Wi-Fi download and use Web Dev. It’s very easy to use VoiceRecordPro so download it today. The only reason I don’t like VoiceRecordPro is that when I’m importing from A new phone, it wouldn’t connect to the phone. At that time, I only used the other devices method. So then, it took like two or three hours to figure out that we can also use what Dev, and that’s how it worked out for the best.

Have been using VoiceRecordPro to record vocal parts during our choir practices and have been very pleased. Occasionally, when editing the parts, I would encounter a problem that prevented me from editing further....tried contacting support via email without really expecting a response...to my pleasant surprise, I received an acknowledgement and request for problem files within 15 mins of sending the mail. Got a response back that they could reproduce the issue and were working on a fix....a day later, cause was identified and communicated to me. In this day of orphan apps, it is highly refreshing to get both a good tool and outstanding customer support! Highly recommend VoiceRecordPro!

I’ve been using VoiceRecordPro for years now. I am still finding features I didn’t know it had. Mostly I use it to record business meetings or any event where someone is speaking and i want to capture
it. It doesn’t matter how close or far away i am, the quality is always good. I also record live music at church just by turning my recorder on, sitting the phone down and forget about it. Playback sounds like it did when I was sitting there live. I have also found the eq function very useful. I recently made my own audio of soft rain with the occasional car driving by. I love the way this recorder captured the sound.

Ever since I got this I’ve been using it to record guitar parts and vocal parts and the reproduction of the sound quality is amazing not to mention the other many things this thing can do. Sending files is super easy but none of that would matter if the sound quality was not really good and in my opinion out of the ones I’ve checked out this one is the best. In fact I changed my strings on my guitar to a warmer gauge and you can hear the difference on these recordings I make thanks to whoever came up with VoiceRecordPro I love it! When you need to record something fast this is definitely the way to go.

I tried to edit the review I left earlier but was unable to. I had reported instances of recording in church that resulted in absolutely no sound. Well, after deleting Voice Record Pro from my iPhone 6s Plus and reinstalling, I am happy to report flawless recordings for the past few months. I think I'll try out version 7 Full, now that confidence has been restored. There is one problem, though, that I hope a future update will fix. Instagram is unable to upload an MP4 video exported from VRP. Something wrong with the "wrapper". It repeatedly fails to upload and clones the MP4 in Camera Roll every time it fails. My workaround is to open the MP4 in iOS iMovie and export to Camera Roll. Instagram will then accept the video.

I wrote a review asking for features that have been largely implemented. So I know they listen. Unfortunately, there is no way to contact the creators to get support. So leaving a review is the only way it seems we can communicate.

This is still my go-to recording app, but I have a need for a new feature. I need to be able to start and stop recording from a connected cable or Bluetooth button. I am going to start using it to record my Bass, and I need to be able to start and stop the recording without having to tap the screen. Sometimes the phone isn’t within arm’s reach or I need to be able to start and stop more quickly. If I could connect a foot switch up to control the recording, that would be so useful.

I never give five star rating but VoiceRecordPro is great. In November 2013 I purchased the upgraded voice record Pro. I did this because I was so impressed with this application. It works flawlessly, it is adaptable to many different types of recording situations. It’s audio engine can re-calibrate for any situation that exist at the time you need to record. You can record for various lengths of fixed times to prevent creating massive files. You can pause, re-start recording and then saved to anywhere. Features like bookmarking, editing, custom file names, etc. I especially like the ability to record while my iPhone as the screen closed and locked. Then you can upload to any cloud service or save to any WiFi linked storage device that you have available anywhere.

This somehow FREE app is actually really awesome. This is, for the record, the second five star review I’ve ever left for a free app on VoiceRecordPro Store. The only other one was for Clash of Clans like 4 years. I only leave reviews if an app is exceptionally good or bad, and this is one of the highest tier free apps I’ve ever come across. Compression is really good, even through my phone’s crappy mic the music from my guitar still sounds... not anywhere near true professional levels, but still beyond amateur levels even WITH decent microphones. Like it actually sound really, really clean, crisp, and well-balanced. This is, of course, taking into consideration it is a FREE app. But it is still well worth downloading, and if you hook a really nice speaker up to your phone or PC/laptop and use VoiceRecordPro... I can’t even imagine the magical sound that will make.

First of all, we love VoiceRecordPro! We are a live multi piece working performing band and like to rough record our gigs for later review. We been using VoiceRecordPro along with an IRig interface taking a line out directly from the main board. After a gig, I import the audio in mp3 format direct to Dropbox that the rest of the band has access to play back. The feature suggestion I would like to see is in the import process, it could import with the gain control settings that used on playback. No matter what you set it to, the mp3 import is flat exactly how it was recorded. Sometimes the level from the board is set to low during record process and need to be tweaked up. VoiceRecordPro cannot do that as far as I can tell. We been working around it by taking the file after import and using other software to bring up the level and re-saving. Other than that, we love VoiceRecordPro!

You know how sometimes a catchy tune that you’ve never heard before just pops into your head and you’re sure it’s a snippet of what you could make into a great song? This is the perfect way to capture it. I used to run to the piano and bust out my sheet music and a pencil and try to write out the notes before I forgot it, but this is much better. Now I just open up VoiceRecordPro, hit “record” and hum or sing away. You can do as many takes as you want. You can add notes to each take. You can send a take to a producer, colleague, or e-mail it to yourself so you can upload it to your computer and put it in your track. It is very versatile. When it’s on Advanced the sound quality is really good, I wouldn’t say it’s great, but it’s much better than other apps I’ve tried to use so it’s great for singers to hear what they really sound like. VoiceRecordPro is a must for any aspiring singer or musician.

Update: although my original review (below) was very positive, at that time VoiceRecordPro had less features. It now has the ability to import from iPhones Music Library as well as many other sources. In addition there have been regular updates over the years. It has so many features now that it has become the only audio recording app I need, and I often import audio into it from other sources so that I can take it advantage of its many features. It an indispensable tool for anyone serious about audio recording.

Original (outdated) review:
I've used at least five different recording/audio apps and this has become my favorite because it has so many options for exporting and editing and recording. Truly impressive! However there is one thing Hokusai can do that vrp cannot: import files from the iPhone's Music Library. It would also be nice to be able to record while other apps output sound, but I suspect that can't be done. Great app that's well worth the $!

by JesusBenNazareth

Pause n stop work fine. I noticed a ‘top’ review from someone said it didn’t work for them so that is the first thing I tried after install. (turns out I installed it years ago and my old recordings are still there!). I ran multiple tests and it worked fine. BUT note that unlike in Apples voice record app, it takes TWO clicks to start recording. The first just let’s you set the recording parameters, the second starts recording. Visual feedback makes it clear to me when it is and is not recording.

Oh and the silence detection works fine too, BUT you do have to set the silence volume threshold appropriately, and you must do that WHILE recording. Again visual feedback makes it clear whether it’s set right.

I’ve been an avid user of VoiceRecordPro since 2013. It’s been my primary source to record any ideas since then. Recently it seems that they’ve gotten rid of a huge function in VoiceRecordPro , adjustable input gain level. It used to be when you start a new recording a sliding fader would appear allowing you to adjust your input gain level. I’ve searched for a while now and I can’t seem to find this option anymore. To the developers of VoiceRecordPro , please bring this function back. It was useful beyond recognition, it allowed you to calibrate your device to any setting for the best possible quality recording. With this setting available VoiceRecordPro deserves five stars; it’s reliable, consistent, organized, and easy to use.
To the other users: have you found this to be the case too?

I have used VoiceRecordPro for a long time now on my iPhones old and new. If however you wanted to use VoiceRecordPro in conjunction with the Apple Watch there are some complex settings that need to be set. The Apple Watch likes to go to sleep that’s the first set back. Also in order for VoiceRecordPro to stay alive the watch can never sleep, that doesn’t work. What you can do by default is set VoiceRecordPro to run on the watch but have the a on the paired iPhone now the iPhone is the recorder not the watch. It works if the watch goes to sleep. The thing is VoiceRecordPro appears on the face of the watch, if you push the crown and go back to the watch face VoiceRecordPro stops. Past that it’s still the best.

Still the. Absolute best voice record app . User interface is clean, easy to view. The level control for only recording when the volume is at the level you want it to start recording works very well.

This is one of the best apps I have.

Get VoiceRecordPro. You won’t be disappointed!

UPDATE: October 6, 2019

Had VoiceRecordPro for a couple years now. Still the best recorder for iPhone. I like the USer Interface a lot also.

BUY IT! You won’t be disappointed.

——————-

Buy VoiceRecordPro you won't be disappointed. Wish I could give it 20 Stars! I am Writing another review because of more options. I would pay a lot more for VoiceRecordPro then the small amount charged. VoiceRecordPro has more great options then I realized when I wrote first review. Filters, effects, append, split and many more and they all work. I have not seen a recorder that comes anywhere close to the quality of this one or any app in any category that has so much and works so well. The programmers clearly know what they are doing.

I’ve been dabbling in a masters program, listening to acoustic recordings for surveys and data collection. Those were recorded with more appropriate state of the art field equipment. I use Voice Record Pro to capture bird sounds on the go, as I hear things that I want to document, investigate more deeply, or use as a reference for what I’m hearing in my study recordings. This little phone app is quite impressive. I particularly appreciate how the gain settings can help pick up far sounds that I am barely hearing. The ease with which I can manage and download/upload files is a plus too. I highly recommend VoiceRecordPro.

by Eeeeekamouse

I love VoiceRecordPro. I’ve used it since 2016 and it’s now 2020. It’s easy to use and the sound quality is fantastic. I’ve tried other recording apps but this is the only one I’ve kept. I use VoiceRecordPro to make journal entries, record bird calls when I go birding, record phone messages that I want to listen to over and over again (a voice message from my best friend who was killed in a car accident), or anything I want to save. It uploads to my cloud easily. The devs are wonderful & they keep VoiceRecordPro updated. I enthusiastically recommend it if you need a reliable recorder that always works.

by Brownbear825

I am basically using app for recording while driving with my gps and Bluetooth speaker. Can you tell me is it possible to receive voice directions from gps, while recording? I thought maybe VoiceRecordPro would pause itself while receiving either gps directions or phone calls and then resume once the messages has been received. Please let me know is this possible and if so, how do I do it? I love VoiceRecordPro and hope this can be done. I spend a lot of time in my car driving and want to be able to record while doing so.
Thanks and look forward to hearing from you.

I just needed to be able to record language words to try to improve, but I wanted to be able to trim and equalize them so they would sound okay. VoiceRecordPro allows that! Lots of editing capability. And they say it has iTunes sharing! My main reasons for buying VoiceRecordPro were: the iTunes File Sharing, the ability to buy (rather than subscribe), and the quality. I bought it, and so far, so good! Seems perfect!

Oh, and I just found out that in the lovely list of activities that you can perform, you can rearrange them so that the things you need are at the top, in the order you want. Just slide 'em up or down - very cool! So nice to find an app that is so fully featured, and doesn't make you guess what it can do! It's wonderful and fast to have the list (with actual words). No guesswork, you don't have to be psychic - just go to work, and do it well. Rare to be able to do so much, so well, in an iOS app!!!

I am a music student at one of the best universities in the country. I’ve been using VoiceRecordPro for years, and I’m always shocked at how effective it is, really, for whatever projects I need completed. It is super user friendly, I’ve never experienced a bug in the entirety of the time I’ve had it, and it has the AMAZING, totally needed, “repeat song” feature. I never write reviews because, like, why would I? But VoiceRecordPro is a part of my daily life, and I simply can’t live without it, so I wholly believe it deserves a mention. Thanks so much for VoiceRecordPro, honestly.
