HEARD - the Plan B for memory App Reviews

It worked until I bought the longer buffer. Now it crashes every time I start the app up

This is a good app, but needs a few more features to make it a great app. First of all, the people complaining of the red "recording" bar are ignorant of Apples iOS. iOS always puts up the red bar when an app is doing audio background recording, not the app. I ran across one bug when using the app on an iPad Air--when I plug in headphones to listen to previously recorded audio, the audio continues to play through the speakers instead of the headphones. The app requires me to force-quit it to stop the recording. It needs a button to stop recording instead. It would be good if the app had "Open In" functionality to open the audio in another audio player with more features. Also, it would be good to have a feature that puts the pre-recorded audio plus whatever audio is recorded while the app is in the foreground into the same file, instead of having to manually resave the audio into a new file every five minutes or risk losing some audio. Finally, it would be helpful to have an iPad version of this app.

Have not used the app for sometime. Tried to activate on my iPad and it no longer worked. Records on my iPhone but can not listen through the speakers. Let me down the first time I really needed it.

I bought this app today for a dollar, ive seen the advertisements that you can record 5 minutes of audio, upon opening the app it stopped recording at 30 seconds, then wanted me to pay 5 more dollars to record up to five minutes, this is a disgrace

It does say in the bottom of the description that its an in-app purchase, but in the beginning it says up to five minutes. Its obviously deceptive. Very poor.

This has been absolutely wonderful for capturing special one-time events which are impossible to catch otherwise! Its so easy, convenient, and fool-proof! And its VoiceOver compatible too! Thanks for a great app!

The app consistently crashes immediately after I press on the hamburger menu at the bottom of a recording listing on an iPhone 5C with iOS 8.0.

Great for note taking while driving and practicing singing or playing music. Highly recommended to all innovative people for catching their ideas wherever/whenever occurs!

Red bar on main screen at all time, basically like opening a voice recorder on your phone 24/7 but allows you to make phone calls etc. that red bar kills it, probably drain battery too. What a useless app trying to trick people that this is something new while its only recording live, saving it on hard drive and delete and repeats. Battery waster. Stay away! And yeah.. App needs to be on and drains for it to work.

Good app. Needs to be updated. Does not work with iOS 8.3.

Impression went downhill the longer I used the app. Disappointed to only have 1 minute of history after paying for the app, and that I would have to pay more just for an extra 4 minutes. No reason this shouldnt be far more configurable. Next was quite disappointed to have missed a rather important txt message. While the app is recording in any way, alerts dont seem to sound. Tested this quite a bit to confirm it being caused by this app. Last straw was when I finally had a recording I wanted, went to email it to myself so I could actually do something with it. Just get some kind of a null error, and the email never sends. Tried several times with different recordings, different email addresses and typed (gmail, exchange etc.) on both the to and from side. No difference.

not really much use for anything

When you have the app activly recording, it will show a red bar across the top of your iPhone the entire time. You have to pay 99 cents for the app and it will give you the ability to save the last minute of "what just happened". If you want the full 5 minutes itll cost you another 4.99. I understand this company has to make money, but that is asking way too much for something that is disruptive (red bar). I would say it would be reasonable to make this app free with one minute of recording and the 4.99 option for the full unlock, OR 99 cents for the full 5 minutes since you cant download it for free and you probably wont want to buy it after you see that red bar. At least you wont be upset about wasting a dollar.
