Good recording but quirks

Have been using for several months. The single biggest flaw is that after recording you must immediatly save the file before playing it back to listen and edit. If you just play it back then it closes the app at the end and the recording is lost. This is a serious bug but once you realize it it is just a routine thing. I do forget and lose recordings. Save your recording!

Excellent Product

I am semi-competent with software & was lookimg for an audiio file mgt program. Boson was right on -- their excellent app. with manual led me through the required steps to create lengthy audio files. They have a nice step by step cookbook section on the most regularly used outcomes their app produces. Also a lot of help with other internet materials that will enhanc the performance of the app. A must buy, particularly if your dinner conversation does not include "bit rate subtleties."

Version 1.5.5

I like the app it's easy learn and easy-to-use. Does everything I wanted to and more. Just remember to save your work before you listen to it all away to the end, because sometimes when it reaches the end the app closes and you lose your work. Lets hope they will fix the problem in the next update version.
