4/5Thanks for the stereo options, but nix the rate reminder every time I launch the app
I’m visually impaired, and love the accessibility of the app. Nice work on the 2 finger double tap for voiceover users. Please though get rid of the rate reminder every single time I launch the app. it is starting to get a bit annoying. I’ve seen reviews offering this suggestion as well. One other thing, the manual could be better written with headings and more detailed explanation of what the tools do. for example the conjunction item appears to do not a thing, unless I don’t really understand. The manual has screen shots, but not enough text explaining what things do. This would help those of us who are blind understand key aspects of the app. over all I give this a 4 out of 5.

5/5Stable, flexible & feature rich
This is the only stable app I have found in the App Store that enables you to record at 44.1 kHz or higher and 32 bit depth. It also gives you the ability to bypass the iPhones internal audio circuitry. I have literally tried every recording application in the App Store and this is the best. There are no longer other features to buy to have the full Alon app. There are also now no advertisements. I use this app on a iPhone 6s+ and have not experienced any of the problems mentioned in the other reviews. I use this app with my Shure MV88 stereo mic for impresive CD-quality music recording. With the Shure Motiv app running in the background and set up the the way you choose the Alon app Records with the settings in both apps when the MV 88 is used. This is an excellent combination. Customer support is the best I've encountered.

4/5Stable, somewhat non-intuitive
This program works well once you get used to its non-standard buttons and user experience. I think with a few tweaks they could make it something that is in alignment with normal apps. The instructions could also probably use some expansion, for instance to make it easier to understand how to switch to MP3 output rather than WAV. Finally, the ceaseless demands for a Review were pretty annoying, and I’m sure tends to depress the ultimate ratings people give. It would be smarter if they asked less frequently.

5/5Basic functions are puzzling
I like the recorder. It has good sound and it allows me to slow the speed if I want to transcribe. However I am having issues with very basic functions. I can’t play back and listen to the recording I select. Instead it scrolls to the top and only lets me play back the most recent one. I cannot find a manual, only what looks like an ad with photos.

5/5PERFECT for Songwriters! ⭐️
This app is perfect for Songwriters! I love how I am able to record quickly, and to listen back to my ideas, and have them flow and play automatically, one right after another. I also appreciate that the creator of this app made two apps that we can use. I use one for songwriting, and the other to record my piano improvisation. Both are basically the same app, and I use both apps every week. This app helps me to write a song every week! I highly recommend this app! Thanks to the creator of this app. Blessings to him and his family. One request, is to increase the font size. Thank you so much! This app is awesome! It has blessed my life! Thanks for that.
