Latest reviews of PureAudio Live Recorder app for iPhone and iPad
Took a chance with this app and it appears to be well though out with one major caveat. It does not multitask...meaning, when you switch focus, the recorder stops. Fix this and you get 5 stars. Otherwise it is not very useful.
I just found this. Worked perfectly. Pristine sound. And I see what appear to be a few new tools.
I had great hope for this app starting out, but the software has been buggy, and the support is not at all up to usual Mac standards in my mind. For instance, I had problems synching with Safari and Bonjour, and no one told me it was a known bug. And today, a new version comes out, fixing that specific bug. Very frustrating! I also cant get their email function to work, and they have no clear answers about that as well. And you have to be very careful setting sound levels or you will get a terrible recording. Another disappointment- You create a name for your recording, but that name does not hold up when you export to your computer. You wind back up with a title just showing date and time. I hope the Andrea people read this, because I know they are capable of doing much better.
After losing two recordings now, Im afraid I have to give up on this app. Support was easy to contact and prompt in responding, but they couldnt figure out what the problem was. Recorded essential interviews, renamed them, and then couldnt play them back. Error message said "invalid recording."
This App does not perform! 100% of my recordings disappeared. Get something else. This deserves zero stars.
