User Reviews for Just Press Record

Reliable & Sturdy App

I am writing this review because when I was updating this app, I was kindly asked to review it. This app doesn’t have popups or interruptions. I podcast & record on the go. I was having some issues with the stock recording app on my iPhone. I have recorded segments over an hour in length using Just Press Record. With the other stock app on my iPhone, I lost multiple recordings when pausing & recording, pausing & recording over the course of the day. I have never had that happen with Just Press Record. I have never lost a recording & use it very regularly. Daily. Very reliable. Intuitive & easy to navigate. Different recording qualities & microphone options with different phones. This app is one of the best I have used & I rely on it for my podcast. Very happy with my purchase!

Awesomeness 🌈🌠😎🌞

I use this on my iPhone and Apple Watch. It works great and I must say that it is working really great and having it on my Apple Watch is wonderful and it does sync to the iPhone fairly quickly one of the cool things about this app is on the iPhone you can have it auto transcribe your recordings, and then you can tap on the text for that transcription to jump to a certain part in the recording. Another thing that I found handy as you can create a shortcut and have the action button on the Apple Watch Ultra to create a new recording by pushing that button. In order for the shortcut to show up on the Apple Watch, you have to I believe it’s press and hold on the shortcut on the iPhone then select details from The pop-up menu and then choose the toggle to show on Apple Watch. Then, in the watch app, you could set a shortcut for the action button, and then choose that shortcut to create a recording. Of course, this app works on the iPad also wonderfully

Blind 360

Not going to mince words here-but I do not regret purchasing this app at all! I’m blind as a bat but I was able to figure this app out after I downloaded it a few days ago. It met my expectations. It’s really cool & thoughtful of the app developers to make sure that it’s fully supported by voiceover. Too bad not many developers Think about people like me who have a disability. It’s user-friendly and like I said well worth the price. Just have a few suggestions-In future updates maybe it would be possible to make categories for the recordings. Create folders within folders. Append to existing recordings even if some time has passed before you decide to add to the recording. Add more export options. Make more import options. Lastly, add more to the languages selection. I’m Filipino and sometimes I have to dictate or talk to someone or record a conversation in Filipino but it’s not supported. Otherwise it’s a great app and you guys did a good job. Kudos and a big thumbs up! Hope you’ll hear my suggestions out and consider them. Have a great day!😃😉

Fantastic app

I've been using 'Just Press Record' for a few years on both an iphone and the Mac for transcription and it has been such an incredibly useful app to me. Aside from the solid transcription accuracy I really appreciate the extra attention to detail the developer put into the design. It's easily the most pleasant UI experience that I've seen in a recording/transcription app. And the transcription works really well if you voice your words clearly and at a slightly slower pace than you might normally talk. I used to use Dragon Dictate and this is in roughly the same ballpark of accuracy. The only suggestion I have is give the user the option to choose Apple's on-device transcription API (vs. sending the audio to apples servers).But I’ve been extremely happy with Just Press Record. And I’ll continue to use it daily. It's a bargain.

best app you’ll buy this year

If you're like the rest of us and find yourself losing an idea or thought that you forgot to write down, a song name you can’t remember, another to-do item that slips your mind, etc...look no further. Especially if you have an Apple Watch, this is the quickest and most intuitive way to solve a multitude of problems and even get ahead on your work on the go with the dictation feature. Transcription from voice to text is ridiculously accurate, even in a Starbucks or someplace with background noise. I am currently studying for the bar exam, and it is incalculable how much time this app has saved me in the process. Finally an app purchase you won’t regret.

(Almost) perfect

Love the simplicity. Love that I can record easily with my wireless microphone the phone itself or my watch. Love that I can activate the app with shortcuts on my watch so I just press my action button and make a quick recording for my notes. I do wish I could have my recordings geotagged or at least have the option as I travel a lot in a day and remembering where I was based on time is harder than if the location was stamped in the recording name. The interface is simple however I also wish while I was recording that the “waveform” thing they have on screen was actually useful instead of the stylized but ultimately useless wave you see. I often find myself turning the app on to record then moving to my microphone app to make sure my levels aren’t peaking. Would be nice if I didn’t have to jump around to do that. Overall though a great app.

A perfect app for me and with the BEST customer support.

I installed this all 18 days ago and found it functions as described and meets my expectations, with one exception. That is when recording with AirPods transcription hangs, with an endless spinner. I reported this to the developer and received a next-day response. After looking into my report, the support person concluded I had reported a bug and that they would look into getting it fixed. That commitment was made the following day, 09/25.Fourteen days later, 10/09, version 3.3.1 was released which fixed the problem I reported. Recordings that had hung were transcribed as well as new AirPod recordings. I am pleased and overall, I think the response was excellent.In addition, the next day, 10/10, I received a follow-up email from the customer service representative who responded to me before informing me of the release and the thought that my reported problem had been addressed.I am pleased to say I answered in the affirmative and expressed my appreciation and congratulated them for “Great work.”The Open Planet Team is clearly deserving of this 5-Star rating. Special thank you to Diane of that team. Best!I am,James

Love it. But one annoying problem

I am a photographer and am having to constantly capture names and other info for captions and that “bright red candy-like button” (to quote Ren & Stimpy) on my watch is the way to do it. Transcriptions are often shaky, so keep working on that, but that is often because of crowd noise, and If I can’t read because gibberish I can always just listen to the recording to get the information. The problem has to do with the iOS widget. I am using it on a latest, greatest iPad and it usually fails to list the most recent recordings, or any. Just blank lines where info on the widget should be. Sometimes it does work, but seemingly at random, and more often blank than working properly. Even opening the app, and even playing those recents does not solve the problem, neither does rebooting. As so as soon as I notice the widget works as it should consistently, I will upgrade this review to 5 stars.

Pretty darn good, wish it had a few things.

This app is easy to use and the results are spot on 99.9% of the time. I've had no issue with speech to text translation. It's really accurate. I have only two complaints. The first is that you have to do the recording and transcription in the app itself. I think the greatest feature would be if I were to open my email app or other app and then have a way to invoke the functionality of just press record inside another app. The way it works now, is that you have to use the app and then copy the paste and text into the app that you want to put it into. It works very well though and I like it a lot. I will use it often. I am also using it right now to write this review. I also wish they had a desktop windows version of this. I would use it in the same manner. To type all my emails and other documents using just press record.The other thing I like about it is the fact that it will record forever. A lot of voice dictation apps like the built-in windows 10 one, will stop listening to you after a certain time. Or if you mute the microphone and unmute the microphone a couple of times it will freeze up or stop working. At least, that is what happens to me on multiple windows 10 pc’s for me for years now.

Awesome app.

I absolutely like this app. I'm using it right now to write this review. It seems silly, but it's totally awesome to have constant dictation working , Recording in the background even. I can just keep talking and talking, and when I'm done recording I can get a transcription of what I said. This is the only apple I've seen that doesn't offer a subscription just to use their transcription features, or doesn't continue to ask you to purchase even more other software, or have annoying ads on it. Just a one time purchase, and you're good to go. I absolutely like the Apple Watch version of this app. I can record anytime I want to , From my watch, easily and quickly. I also like that the i WhatsApp is accessible with voiceover, as well as the iPhone app. I am blind, and having this app around to transcribe long pieces of what I want to see without stopping, without interrupting i am currently thinking or what I want to see, it's totally awesome. This is totally the best app out there on the App Store. It uses Apple's speech recognition functionality. Which means you have to say punctuation marks etc. when you're dictating. Just as if you were dictating on a text box with your iPhone.
