Cons
Con Slugish recording
Although it provides acceptable quality, the app seems to often and for no apparent reason, jump the recording, skipping a few valuable moments of sound. This can be especially frustrating when recording music. To help avoid this, make sure you are recording on local device storage, and not on the external micro sd.
Con Free version limited use with ads
The free version will hamper you with a 3 minute limitation if you are recording with any other encoder than wav, (wav has no limit) all while displaying advertisements.
