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 No widget
Doesn't have the option to add a recording button directly to the home screen.
