Memos-Voice

This app needs better camera integration. When trying to add a photo from the camera during a recording, the app stops the recording and once the photo is taken does not return to the app. The recording ends automatically after adding the photo from the camera. Photos can be added after the recording is stopped, but they are displayed in the wrong order in the app. The best approach is to add photos that have been previously taken. This can be done during the recording. Photos and notes can also be added while the recording is paused, but photos are still saved in no apparent order. This approach is a lot less useful since syncing photos within the recording, either live or chronologically, makes the most sense and promotes a more natural workflow. I suggest that a marker should appear in the recording when a photo is added and that displayed photos are always left in the order in which they were added. The voice recording and note taking capability works fine but there are also no markers in the recording timeline that indicate when notes were added. It would be enormously helpful for review purposes if both the notes and photos could be synchronized with the recording during recording playback. Also, the controls on this app are confusing. Some of the messages are in Asian characters and no documentation exists. Some of the buttons and settings seem completely redundant and others appear to do nothing.

Nice minimal design, but I have no idea how to use this. No instructions seen. I see a button to record and it seems to record but I see no way to access it afterwards, the ‘Done’ button doesn’t seem to do anything. Life is short, and I have only so much time to spend figuring this out. Two stars for nice minimalist design, only two for non functionality. Will check back to see if it gets better or can get it to do what it says. P.S. I see one review which says that it doesn’t support iPad. Maybe that’s the problem, but it claims compatibility.

The simple layout and look of this unique app is beautifully executed, with easy to use interface you never feel overwhelmed. While other audio note taking apps on the store are going for at least $5-$10 this is free and far better. Thanks for a wonderful app!!!
