Voice Recorder

I use this app for music recordings-NOT for speeches. This was a fantastic app until this update. Now they've forced AI transcribing functionality I will never use that blocks all the recording functionality I need! Not able to remove or turn it off. Bookmarks were easy to set and label as needed. Now you can add but not label. To label you have to go into edit but you still can't see the label in your recordings unless you're in editing mode! If it ain't broke, break it Samsung!! 😡

Simple, easy voice recorder that captures clean audio and offers a few useful toggles. It's very basic, but that makes it incredibly convenient for voice memos. The text-to-speech feature works alright. It gets a few things wrong here and there, but it's surprisingly accurate most of the time. As a musician, I do wish it offered multi-track functionality. Even a basic 4-track setup with a rudimentary mixer would be really great for recording song ideas, testing harmonies, etc.

It records well, and is very easy to edit. It doesn't get 5 stars because it's also very easy to accidentally overwrite files when editing. There's no undo arrow, warning pop-up, or copy in the trash. I've been using it weekly for over a year. I direct a music ministry. I'll record whole services, and then pull the songs out to evaluate our sound. I just replaced a 2 1/2 hour prayer group with a 3 minute song for the 3rd time in a year. It's user error, but there should be a fix.

The app itself is well designed, nice features, easy to use. But where the app falls very short is when I want to use the recordings outside of the app. The app records in .m4a format and when I try to import them into any audio editor I either get an error or it just won't even do it. In the app, everything is fine, but even playing back the file, half of the audio is missing. This is a problem I cannot have in my workflow.

Great app for recording. I use it when I'm messing around on my guitar and come up with a good riff. The sound is clear. Mostly reviewing because others are complaining about the 'locate nearby devices" / location permissions. It's probably for Bluetooth connections, like headphones, that you can listen to your recordings through . Regardless, your phone probably has a ton of apps that do that all the time anyway. Your phone itself is a beacon. If "they" want to find you they already have.

Absolutely LOVE this Samsung Voice Recorder app! It has so many great features you can use, as well as different options for recording in different situations. I love that I can record something, pause it, go back a little, and rerecord if I've made a mistake. Also after saving it, I'm still able to edit the recording if I need to redo something. This has been working so well for my current project! Very happy with it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

This app was okay until it failed catastrophically. It creates huge mp4 files even if you set it to record low quality sound, so I usually upload them to cloud storage or send them to myself as attachments. For some reason, 90 percent of my last recording was wiped out when I sent it as an email attachment. There's a 25 minute flat line in the middle of the audio file. Surprise! So that work is down the drain.

The app intermittently forgets category assignment to recordings as well as bookmarks. So say you favorite some recordings, one day you might open it up and all the recordings you had favorited, are no longer so. It's incredibly frustrating, and my heart drops every time it happens. This issue is permanent too, the assignments do not come back on their own. I have contacted the developers, and they have still not fixed this issue.

I keep having an issue where if I want to do a long recording, it just won't let me be cause it keeps pausing it if there's any silence. I can't find any setting for smart recording or anything like that... it was good for basic short recordings, but if I want to record anything, I'm gonna move to a different app. note: I have power saving on, but I can't seem to put it on the list of never sleeping apps.

It was good, very useful and great for recording info for my jobs and reminders. Now its recording my calls when leaving voice-mail for clients. This is a problem. Don"t know what happen but this is crazy. I had no idea it was doing this till I went to hear one of my recordings and then I saw all of the others on there. I think I will Uninstall and give it 1 more chance.

Easy and intuitive to use. No problems so far. I will make sure to the back-up save the files elsewhere as others have had problems where an update has deleted them. Apparentally some people have had issue with the file type. The sound file format is .m4a, which is not really a problem for me. You can definitely play this file type in other apps and on your computer in many conventional editors and players. Perhaps the file format people had problems with was something else, and the .m4a is the solution the programmers used. That might be why some of the users' files disappeared or were no longer recognized by this app. Anyway, as I said, I've had no problems so far, but I will update my review if that changes. (Also, backing up files is a good practice to keep, in general.)

The app was working very well. Approximately a month ago it no longer summerized the transcript and I get a processing failed message. Yes, I have the latest version. And an Samsung Galaxy S25+ with plenty of space. I hope your engineers and programmers can fix the issue! Also, folders cannot be deleted; even after I deleted recordings. Please add this feature. It allows us to keep things cleaned up.

This used to be one of my favorite apps. Since getting this new version on my new phone, I will replace it. It's unreliable. I couldn't hear my previous recordings. Desperately tapping everything, it came back when I changed the speed. Editing a recording keeps multiple versions instead allowing to save an updated version like the earlier app did. I can't scrub to the place I want to hear most times. It often goes back to the beginning. More gripes than 500 characters will allow.

It says you can switch modes. The pictures show them. Interview, memo, and speech to text. It doesn't do it though!! I looked in the settings and I deleted it off my phone and reinstalled it, even though it was recognized as being on my phone and does not have any updates that need to be done. Other than that it's good and you can do some simple editing to trim and delete sections of a recording.

This is my favorite app for dictation. The sound quality is good, and the convert-to-text feature is better than other dictation software I've used. With the new update, the summary option, quick transcription, ability to create a Samsung note with both the transcription and recording are great. HOWEVER, you took away the ability to simply copy the text! PLEASE bring it back and take away the new extra steps needed to do what worked for years. That will bring back the fifth star.

I swear by this app. It has been very helpful for recording vocal references during song lyric conceptualization. I just started using the the speech-to-text feature. I only wish you could edit incorrect transcript. Other than that I love it. I've been using it for many years and will continue... that is until someone comes up with a multi tracking version of voice recorder, similar to this. 😏 I'm just saying...

Adequate app. Except for picking up wind noise, it is a decent recorder. Surprised it picked up my guitar in track. If you want to do more than record and play it back on your phone, such as podcasts and YT, then it gets difficult. Editing and splicing capability and the voice to text feature are far too inadequate to list as benefits. Sharing recordings runs into issues when using the google drive/gmail option. The recording automatically downloads when clicked on. No saving it elsewhere.

I love this app, I use it to record music and it does great whether its acoustic, electric, bass, drums, ect. It even picks up well at live music shows. My only quirk with it is in the list mode I like to hit play without seeing the soundwave because its easier to skip through. But the small round play button makes this hit and miss. It would be nice if the button was squared off so I don't accidentally click into the soundwave playback.

Used to be amazing, then got back on today after a busy month to find out it had auto updated. They've decided to get rid of your uncategorized list, so now it's just "All Recordings" or what you have in categories. So inconvenient. Also, whatever y'all did made the sound messed up as all hell. I can't listen to any of my recordings on bluetooth?? Why? I have to put my corded headphones in??What the hell was wrong with the old version that you decided to screw things up?

Used to work great... and quick to click on and record asap. After upgrade, cannot even record. Also, it is asking for permissions that have absolutely nothing to do with recording. If you have not needed those permissions for 2 years, and ratings were up, why do you need them now? I Uninstaller it. I will use a different app.
