Accessibility Comments

This app is amazing! All but one button was titled with what it was supposed to do and there were no parts of the app that I couldn't access. I contacted the developers letting them know about that one button and they sent me an email telling me that they would be glad to relabel it in the next version! There are a few features that are not super clear and that is mostly with setting up the servers. Go into the main screen and do this: 1. tap "edit" 2. select the memos that you want to upload 3. tap send at the bottom of the screen 4. Tap edit on the top of this next screen 5. tap "server" 6. swipe down to the bottom where it says "add server" 7. double tap "dropbox" or enter your server info and click OK. 8. Go back to the send page and tap on your server name and you will be taken to the home screen and you will either get a message saying that it failed or nothing will happen which means that it worked! For quick use here are where the locations of the important buttons are: On the main screen record is right above the home button settings is to the left and to the right there are 2 buttons right on top of one another. Play is on top and info is below. Record is huge, so play and info are half the size of record. Once you hit record you will be taken to the record screen and the unit will be recording. Pause is to the right of the home button and the level meter is right above the home button. To the left of the home button is the length of the recording. If you hit pause, Play is where pause was and record is to the left of the home button.

VoiceOver Performance

Can someone change the thing

Can someone change the thing from free to paid? it's 0.99 at the time of this comment. at least in the us. Take care.

Thnaks. Noticed the change.

Thnaks. Noticed the change. You guys rock. I probably will stick wiht what I know, but at least we are having more tools to record quick stuff and memos to either our bos or what ever.

The appdiscription sounds good and the in app purchases sound decent.

Take care to all.

Update

Hi,
Just thought that I would come over here and say it. I just got it, this app still seems to be accessible, even with the latest update that was pushed out last month.

How is it compared to Hokusai

Hi all. How is it compared to Hokusai Audio Editor? Thank you in advance.

Hocusae is a full fledge

Hocusae is a full fledge multi track editer whidch I've used, and hate actually, but ah well. This is a voice recorder that appears to do a lot. but i use audio share which I linked to someware.

Take care.

In app purchases

Hi, I just bought this app. It says that it supports in app purchases. But I don't see where you can purchase things within the app. I went into settings and there was nothing indicating I can purchase more settings or anything like that.

apple watch

The app discription says it supports the apple watch. What can be done on the watch with this app. I know that in most cases the watch apps have less features then the iPhone versions. Thank you.

Tools for editing and trimming seems not to be accessible

Hi all,
it seems to me all the features of Audio Memos described in this article does a good job together with VoiceOver Unfortunately that's not the case with the track editing and trimming tools of the app. Particularly it looks like it isn't possible to focus certain positions to set any markers to specify a selected part to operate with. Perhaps someone of you got an idea?

Alle the best
Martin

purchases
