Samsung Voice Recorder

Bethany Gersetich

The app, after months of use without it, now requires me to give it permission to make/manage phone calls. I cannot open the app, not even to access old recordings, without granting this permission. As far as I can tell, the ONLY reason this app should need to control phone calls is if a particular setting is turned on, and I have that setting turned off. Even with it turned off, I have no access to the app without giving it unnecessary access to one of my privacy settings. NO.

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.

I used stereo and interview mode combined and audio quality was horrible. The volume kept going from soft to loud and back and forth. It sounded garbally and underwater. Galaxy Note 10 plus. It also has an annoying pop up when the sound that records is too low. So, you see an annoying pop-up every time there is a pause in whoever is speaking. That's why this is a definitive 1 star app. The one thing it needs to do it, does very poorly and very annoyingly. The UI and graphics are great.

This app formerly only required permissions to access microphone and files which is all that it should require. A recent update added a requirement for permissions to let the app access nearby devices and phone which should not be necessary for a simple voice recorder. This app actually won't launch unless you give it these very privacy invasive permissions! That's sketchy. 1 star until the devs change the app back so that it opens again without requiring access to nearby devices and phone.

Have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled the app. It will not record and appears to lock up. I am using a Samsung S22 Ultra. I previously was very happy with this app and used it with no problems on an S10+. ------ Updated the phone software on 19 April 2022 and the Samsung Voice Recorder software is now working properly. Star rating changed from 1 star to 4 stars.

I used to use it a lot, especially for practicing music, but suddenly it won't open unless I give it permission to access nearby devices. There is no reason for this. However the app won't open without it. So now it's useless and I can't access any of my old recordings. So this is essentially a completely unusable app. Look elsewhere.

Love using voice recorder. At least I use to until it required so many permissions. Why do you need Bluetooth access? And it says in the description that phone call access is optional, but I couldn't get into the app until I agreed. Same with "nearby devices". I just wanna record my thoughts.

Crystal clear voice recorder. Graphical user interface is so easy to use a complete dummy would be mind blown. Not only that but the app visually looks simple and advanced at the same time, way to keep the app simple. Sound quality is on point and very easy to go back and look at recordings. Samsung can record me 24/7 and do what they wish. I trust Samsungs apps and products and security. After tons of years of testing software and hardware and various other apps SAMSUNG is the bees knees.

I've tried several recording apps from the Google Play store, and I found this recorder to be the best one based on one important reason. The recorder doesn't randomly stop recording when it gets interrupted, for example when you have to take a picture or use another app that interrupts the recorder. It would temporarily pause then resume the recording after you're done with whatever apps you're using. All the other recording apps just stops recording when it gets interrupted which was annoying

You removed the "uncategorized" category! Now you have your list of categories and an "all" category (which is a good addition) but I cant tell which recordings i havent categorized so thats why its so important :( This is my go to voice note recording app. It launches and records quickly, gets the job done and has cool editing features while keeping it simple. Please bring back the uncategorized category in the next update. Everything else is good! 👍
