Where is the widget?
Love the app, but after sharing with my wife through Family sharing, we don’t have the option on her phone to add a widget, or a complication on her watch. Is that a limitation?
Almost perfect
I love the ability to click the action button on my watch to take a quick note - but it seems that it has to sync with my phone first before it will then sync with the desktop app - which is a bummer because I often make quick notes to myself that I'd resolve while sitting at the computert and I miss those notes if I don't open the phone app first and wait for it to sync. (or maybe they sync is just slow and I'm missing something?)
App stop recording…
Long time user roughly 250 GB in iCloud storage… However the app has crashed when recording as well as not starting when recording first pulled up… I record a lot and worried I will not have something recorded when I need it… Oh also when device dies please save beforehand. Please fix Thank you in advance.
So bad it lost me a letter grade
I’m having a talk with my professor over important details of a patient. I press the shortcut button on my watch, and it shows that it’s recording, so I skip writing notes and focus on the professor… recording was 0 seconds long I’ve since tried it again and again, but when I press record, it shows that it’s recording, but the recordings are always 0 seconds long I hate when people give 1 star reviews when just one thing isn’t working the way they want it. But in this case, that one thing is the ONLY thing it’s supposed to do.
A great solution for remembering.
One of the most useful capabilities has been the ability to record doctors description and instruction. Certainly helps jog the memory and insure you are following instruction. Can listen again to refresh memory. Especially helpful due to hearing issues, particularly in noisy environments. And fir our ‘older’ minds.
Great Tool
I use this as a standard tool for voice memos on the daily, but I've found that when I have to meet with management or other company's managers and associates, I can completely negate “that's not what I said” from any encounter. I live in a one-person state, so no problem there legally. Simple to use for most anything audio. Love being able to use it straight from my Apple watch.
Cannot control phone app via Apple Watch
I was looking for an app that can start/stop recording audio on my phone using the Apple Watch as the controller but still uses the external mics connected to my phone (or Airpods via BT). Looks like the Watch version of this app only records using the Watch's mic(s). Can I get my money back?
