Retro Recorder App Reviews

 YOU CAN BARELY HEAR THE DANG THING! Ive had this for a long time but rarely use it! Ive got 95% of ALL the PAID recorders and this ones going into my "RECORD" books as the WORST ONE!

I loved the look of this recorder but there were a few things keeping me from loving this app; I kept having to close the app after each recording in order to start a new recording, new recordings automatically start taping over old ones, I found the process for labeling tedious. I still used for quite a while but will be looking for something else.

It records great and u can listen to them on my phone but I have had no luck in exporting the flies to my laptop. I have tried everything but not able to save the recorded lectures to my laptop is a big disappointment.

Easy to use and sounds great. McDSP definitely knows what theyre doing. Unfortunately, probably due to operator error, other people dont know or appreciate that.

Now that its working great with my iPhone 4 this is the only recorder app I ever use! I often record little musical jams with me and my friends, and the ALX audio zoom does an amazing job of evening out the recording so everyone can be heard equally. For the type of recording I do, its a feature I can no longer live without!

Like the look and sound quality is decent. Having to export files to a server you cant access is pointless. I bought this so I could easily record and share ideas. This app does not do that. Looking for a new record app. It would make a lot more sense if you could import ideas directly into iTunes. Or be able to send them directly from your phone. They really need to fix this app. Would not recommend purchasing.

This app claims to export your recordings to a server, but the URL it provides leads to nothing. Seriously? Are you kidding? Complete waste of time (and a buck)! Come on ...

Love this little recorder, use it all the time. Makes things so much easier to hear. Sooo glad they fixed the iOS 5 download bug so fast. A must have!

I am a recording engineer who swears by compressorbank and filterbank when I mix. I love the retro recorder. Recorded a song idea, went to send it to A friend and.........I have to access app from a web browser on a computer? This worked fine but, as the only option, It limits the mobileness of it. I love having mcdsp limiting in my song ideas!

Im only giving this three stars because we can publish to anything usable by the iPhone we must have a computer handy. Thats a bummer. Let us use audio copy and I will re rate it.

No recording pause feature? Come on, even the iOS recorder that comes with the iPod/iPhpne can do THAT. No continuation on a file? I cant add more audio to a file at a later time just like I could with a real tape recorder? Oh, and its way too easy to record over your files. Come on devs, even tapes from back in the day could be protected from overwriting. Fail.

Simple recorder without a cluttered interface. Allows for quick and easy recording. Highly recommend.

Since I upgraded to iOS 6.0 Retro Recorder crashes when trying to export.

Killer App! Best sounding! EXCELLENT TECH SUPPORT! Doesnt get an easier than this!

Love this app! I record my class, never had a problem with it but now when I play back it mutes for a second or two every now and then & I miss important facts from my class.

This is the worst, most cumbersome app I have ever gotten. If you want to export, forget about it. A frustrating waste of money.

I have had this app since 2010. It has never let me down at all. I recommend this for anyone who needs to record a lecture for college.

I am scared to use this app for anything important. It is far too easy to lose a recording. If it would simply keep adding more audio to the end of an existing recording on a tape (like a tape recorder would do) instead of overwriting it, it would be a lot safer and more authentic.

I figured that if McDSP made a recording app then it must be excellent. It turns out thats exactly the case. McDSP is known for making some of the best plug-ins for recording studios and post houses, so this (youd think) was simple for them. Regardless, its easy to use, has a cool GUI and sounds great!

Easy to use, sounds good. Just wish the ability to run in the background was available. If Im in playback and want to do something else (like text) it shuts off.
