Rec’Em for Android

Needed to record good quality voice comments and be able to provide the recordings in various formats. I’ve been using Rec ‘Em several times a week for well over a year and have been happy with it. There's just this one annoying quirk. Every single time I launch the app for the first time - it immediately crashes. Fortunately, after relaunching it works fine for that session. Other than that - it does what it says it does well.

Running on Android Yosemite … no ability even to select microphone. Waste of money.

I have tried this audio recording software for a while and have experiences crashes on 100% cases where the recoding session is longer than 35min. It works fine for shorter recording session. I only gave the second star because it works for short recording sessions.

Giving it a 3 because of two things: 1) When I was finished using the application I put away the device I was recording from and then accidently quit the application. It quit with no dialog to ask if I wanted to save first and no way to recover. Since I’d deleted the VM message I was recording I have now permanently lost the very thing I was trying to preserve. Mainly my own fault, but this is a pretty basic feature of almost every application, 2) The app does what it says it does but it is pretty simple and limited (e.g. can’t change input source from within program, have to go to settings). Seems a little light weight for a really high rating considering its a paid for app. There’s a lot of grade inflation out there with 5 and 1 seeming to be the only rating anyone gives these days.

I needed it for a conference this weekend. Used it to record the keynote speech by the director of department, and it worked nicely. The interface was didn’t interfere with my other tasks (I was also taking some notes). The quality of those recordings were decent - loud and clear. And like some other reviewers mentioned in their comments, the mail sharing function was a nice touch, so convenient! I’d say $2 well spent.
