iCloud Sync Doesnt Work, but Otherwise OK

For work I wanted the ability to record talks and workshops that we later include in podcasts and other online media. I settled on Recordium Pro after trying several similar apps and have been satisfied with the audio quality, ease of recording and the basic editing features. Since I record on an iPod Touch and have other Apple eccosystem devices, I wanted to use iCloud Sync. I cannot get this to work at all! Instead, I get the interminable rotating wheel sometimes for hours, but never any evidence of inclusion on my iCloud Drive. (Yes, I have enabled iCloud Sync in the settings and in the app.) The app does permit transfer via Airdrop, wireless sync with your computer and "Open in…" which I have used with Transmit and Google Drive to make copies of files. So far, I have not lost any files.

Ok Mac OS support needed

Neat app but as someone else mentioned iCloud support needs Mac integration.

Data Loss

The app is slick, great UI and good features. But they are just awful at managing data. Files deleted at random, syncing and backup options not working logically. They need to hire a new backend developer, until then having this app up on the app store seems unethical. I lost crucial data to a composition with a due date, having gone to this after Soundcloud removed its record option from their app. Really disappointing, I really like the front-end design.

Update: sick of losing data!

This WAS a great app for recording ideas and interviews, but its saving system is totally inconsistent! Gotta delete it before it gets me in trouble!

Favorite app of all

Its great for recording rehearsals, and sending dictated files to be transcribed. Faultless.

Very difficult and not worth it

Can’t see photos and notes when you email the recording. My entire goal. Worthless app and a waste of 9.99

Useless

I was excited to use this for meetings but unfortunately after clicking save it did not save. Thankfully I had another recording source as a backup. I tried creating a test recording and it did save that time but I could not figure out how to upload my recording to Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox. I tried letting the app synchronize my recording to iCloud but it has never shown up even though I have it configured correctly.

Program crashes????!!!!

I bought this app to record my lectures during class for me and sometimes my teachers have drawings that I like to take photos of. However, when I take a photo, the whole screen freezes for 2 seconds and the app crashes. Thankfully I programmed it to auto-save but for a $10 app, I would expect it to be able to take a photo without crashing.

HORRIBLE

At first, I liked this app. Then it didnt work when Bluetooth was on, so that had to be disabled. Now, I cant retrieve my recordings!!!!! Hours worth of IP vanished. Ideas, concepts, actions. Gone. Poof. If I could give it a negative rating, I would. Worst possible app. I own out of the 150 apps. on my iPhone.

Some features not intuitive and no support offered at all

I was enjoying this app until I started wanting to share and email my recordings. Their website states that there are direct links for emailing and sharing, but I have not been able to figure out how to find those links. I looked for tutorials but couldnt find anything that helped. Ive emailed their customer support asking for clarification FOUR times over the last couple of months with absolutely no response. I would not recommend buying this app because the developers obviously do not care. They want your $10 and thats it. Ive learned my lesson. Im moving on.

Very Unreliable

The app use to work well, but now its almost impossible to get your files and save them into the computer. Syncing its worst, no all the files get transfer and the app gets frozen, to the point that wont open anymore making you lose all your documents because now you have to use ITunes in the phone to be able to see them in the computer. I rated with one star because it was a good app before the unreliable updates

Like it

Great app it lets you tag and mark the imp sections while recording which is an amazing feature for me One star out coz it only display in landscape mode which I dont like to use

Auto save

I havent have an issue about app deleted files but I like for an auto save folder. I stop recording one time too many to find out that I forgot to hit save and lose the files. Overall a very good app.

I used to like it.

Now I like it a little less. Ive lost 2 recordings of important meetings thanks to the clumsiness of the controls.

No one should buy this app-erases everything-yet files accumulate on iPad

*** NOTE as of 2/11/15 The developers seem to be fixing some of these problems. Over sixty of my vanished files magically appeared a couple of days ago after being lost for up to six months, and so I have been able to recover them. I think a dozen or so aren’t yet recovered. So if you too lost files, see if they are back. I’ve bumped them up a star as a result. They haven’t abandoned servicing this app. But I’m still concerned about what will happen when we get iOS 9 some day… ****NOTE AS OF 6/10/15 STILL NO UPDATE SO I’M LOWERING IT BACK TO ONE STAR. Eight months since last update which did nothing. Still swallows recordings and cuts off randomly. Everyone should ask for refunds. This is fraud. Total misrepresentation of what they are selling. Apple, why are you letting these crooks run a scam under your name? I really like this app, but it wont save any files on the app. It shows that it does, but after a day or two the recordings are gone! However, if you go to your iPad usage setting and look at the app in the manage storage area, the files appear to still exist! I have 2 GB of recordings I can neither delete or access. In iTunes, there is no way to delete them. [I have since been able to recover and delete 1.2 GB out of those 2 GB of them with the Feb 2015 fixes.] No response from support except an automatic reply promising a future response, which I never got. Companies like this should not be allowed to sell in the App Store. There is no excuse for anyone every losing a single recording. I have death bed recordings of friends which are now gone forever.

Not worth it at all

Although it looks great, it does not work that way. My big issue is with sound editing. You can not audio preview your cuts, plus this snip function does not work at all. And there is no cancel or esc option once you enter edit mode. I tried to contact the company, but got no response. The tags is a good idea,badly implemented, as you have to reach those tags manually. You should be able to touch the tags so the cursor would move there automatically. It doesnt do that. Not worth it at all....

Want my money back

This app does not do what it says. I cannot cut different parts of a song and I cannot put parts of songs together. Struggled with it for 2 hours yesterday. Would like my money back.

Ripoff helpless support

Ape should pull their app. They do not fix the bugs or respond to any technical email, or any email. Dont get this app you will be screwed.

Didnt record 2 important conversations

This app failed to record two important conversations. It looks like its recording, but the app hangs and then crashes while trying to save them. Your recordings are gone. I do not recommend this app to anyone.

Deleted before I could save

Just had a very important Dr. Appointment that I recorded. I paused the recording when we were finished and when I went back 3 minutes later to save it, the file was gone. Thanks for absolutely nothing! I am so mad!
