Just Press Record Positive Reviews

Great app, however I’ve been have a few issues.I bought this app specifically for my new Apple Watch, in all honesty the reason I purchased this one over any other was due to the fact it supported the new Apple Watch Series 4 screen size, every other app I looked at didn’t, they displayed smaller on the new watch and looked outdated. Kudos to you guys for updating your apps to support newer devices sooner. However, I have one issue and one recommendation. Issue: My recordings no longer play back on my watch, the very first time I tried it everything worked perfectly but now the watch just doesn’t play the recording back, I’ve tried changing the volume, restarting my watch, reinstalling the app on both the phone and the watch and the playback functionality never returns. It’s still recording as I can listen to it on my phone afterwards but I just can’t listen to it on my watch, it shows its playing but it’s completely muted even when the volume is turned all the way up to 11... Recommendation: As I was trying various other apps before I stumbled upon yours, there was one feature that a few of the other ones have that yours does not, and that is the ability to initiate a recording using the phone’s mic from the Apple Watch. I would personally suggest a force press of the record button on the watch to give you the option to start recording on iPhone. Other than that your app is great, I’m looking forward to the update that fixes my issue, when it arrives I’ll take this from 4-stars to 5-stars..MIGerlag97Version: 3.3.3

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..DJAllegrettoVersion: 36.1

Blind 360Not 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!😃😉.FireFlux360Version: 3.3.3

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.DudemanLAVersion: 47.1

If you have an Apple Watch, get this App!I get my best ideas about solving the problems of the world while I’m driving or out walking. When driving, I need to record a thought with as little distraction as possible. When walking, I just want to press one button on my watch and start talking. And when I’m having a conversation with someone, I sometimes need to remember a fact they’re telling me, without pulling out a notebook and pen. This app satisfies those needs perfectly. Other apps let you control directionality, noise reduction, etc. and are much better for lectures and meetings. In fact, I use one of them. So I hope Just Press Record doesn’t try to add bells and whistles to compete with them. Its simplicity is its strength. Update: I should have mentioned that I mostly use it on my iPhone. Sometimes I just want to record the time that an event or series of events occur — press record and state the event, then stop. Handy for that as well. Again: Simplicity is its key..MistergizmoVersion: 48.2

Love it. But one annoying problemI 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..JoecunninghamVersion: 46.2

(Almost) perfectLove 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..JbearontheairVersion: 47.3

Great AppIt’s a great app. 4 stars due to some issues I listed below. I’ve been using the app for about a month and it was extremely helpful. I love the fact you can organize your recordings in iCloud, name them and organize them into hierarchical folder structure that the app understands and displays. I love it’s watch companion that even has a complication you can add to the watch face to start recording on the fly. Here are a few needed improvements that would make it probably the best app available for voice recording: 1. Accuracy of transcriptions isn’t best. A lot of misidentified words or skipped words even in a perfectly clear and clean voice recordings. Not sure if this is Apple issue or the apps issue. But perhaps the app could use a choice of voice transcription APIs from multiple providers to be able to get the best quality of transcriptions. I’d be willing to pay for an in-app upgrade if needed. 2. It’s annoying that the app stops transcription process of the app is not running in a foreground. I know that in the past it was impossible do have background processes in iOS. But I believe iOS does now provide a way for background processing. 3. It would be great if the app shortcut to record or to open the app would be available in the iOS Control Center. Just like the VoiceMemo or other buttons and similar to the Apple Watch complication..TerrificVVersion: 41

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..KickthefogVersion: 42.2

Great but more organization options missingOverall great app. I do wish there were more options for organizing recordings other than just in folders by date. I would like to keep separate folders for personal and work with the ability to have nested folders for each or tags. For instance, saving a recording regarding Client A could be saved in work>client a>date or project. Or it could be saved in my Work folder and be tagged “client a” with additional tags as needed. Using tags you could also flag recordings that you need to follow up on with additional information or recordings that you need to share with others once the transcription is checked, etc. Organizing recordings by date may be helpful for some, but personally I don’t want to have my personal recordings intermingled with work related recordings..Smart burroVersion: 3.3.3

Fantastic appI'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..FlippedVersion: 41

Reliable & Sturdy AppI 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!.Brianjames5Version: 43.3

Life saver!I have a teenage son with autism that just entered public high school. We are having to jump through hoops to get accommodations made and we have to document everything. At our last virtual meeting I was having trouble recording the meeting. I forgot I even had this app but I found it and used it to record the meeting. It worked perfectly. When I sat down to see what I could write down/note from the meeting I discovered it would transcribe the entire meeting. It’s going to take a little work to sort out the wording and who is talking but I am SO GRATEFUL I had this app on my phone. Even better I found I formerly had the desktop version as well and re-downloaded it to my laptop. Thank you so much! I’ll be using this a lot from now on..Tippertantrum5678Version: 45.0

Great app but experiencing issues with watch series 11 and voice isolationI love this app and I’ve been using it for years however with the watch series 11, Apple has introduced voice isolation which prioritizes voices over other background sounds. Is it possible that an update for Just Press Record could be put out to allow you to have to have recordings that are similar to what you would get on the watch series 7, where voice isolation was not available. I would love to be able to get awesome quality recordings where all background sounds including voices are all at the same levels and voice isolation can be bypassed in someway. If you guys are able to do that, that would make this app so awesome again..Carrie SchafferVersion: 50.2

Another blind fella steps upHey all yall! I totally agree with Everything blind 360 says! It IS to bad people don't think of us with disabilities more often but that's their problem! This is a FANTASTIC little app! Powerful very easy to use easy to share You can upload to google drive using file Browser! You do not need be able do this directly! You can share your recording ANYWHERE and in any manner you choose! they are STELLAR very high quality on my iphone 13 mini. it works very well with voice over and in braille also. Very accessible app! Do not regret making this one time purchase and hope you will do yourselves a favor and do the same! Kudos to the developer as well. Thanks for thinking of us blind folks out here!.BraillemanVersion: 50.2

Good, but needs some improvementsThis is good and does what a promise is to do. It’s competing now with the primary voice recorder on the iPhone since it transcribes now. There’s two key features that will continue to have me use this and I recommend to continue to be competitive with the stock app. - You can’t share directly into ChatGPT. It’s not listed as an option and I have to manually copy and paste, which is a bit annoying .You should definitely integrate a ChatGPT so that you can take the transcription and work with the data. - You should allow people to upload to Google Drive versus iCloud Drive. This is much more convenient and you can also hook it up to automations versus iCloud Drive, which is limited.CoolshaleVersion: 50.1

Works - but missing key featureI recently upgraded to an iPhone X, and unfortunately my wonderful voice recording app that I used almost every day was no longer supported. So I had to wander into the crowded field of recording apps to find something that would suit my needs. The main thing that I had often wished for in my other app was the ability to search audio for a word or a phrase. When I saw that Just Press Record has transcription capability, I perked up. That functionality was a nice solution to my audio search dilemma. I purchased the app and tested it out. First thing: I love the fact that I can sync with iCloud, as that will allow me to play my already-existing recordings through Just Press Record. Additionally, the transcription - though far from perfect - will most likely suffice for the search capability that I need. I was all set to settle into using this app on a daily basis when I realized that it is missing one crucial feature that I used consistently: the ability to append to an existing recording. My previous app handled this brilliantly: I’d just go to a recording, open it up, and hit the Record button. Automatically, whatever I said would be appended to the existing audio. I have been trying to do the same thing in Just Press Record, but to no avail, as pressing the record button under an open file simply starts a new recording. I’ve emailed the developers to determine if there is a way to do this, but so far have not received a response. Other than this flaw, I really like the app (it even has a dark mode, which I love). 3 stars, though, for apparent lack of ability to append. Update: One additional thing that I’ve found (and perhaps it’s been fixed) is that if I have a recording that is somewhat extensive (say, 20 minutes or longer), the transcription of that recording will not be searchable. In other words, I can create a transcription, but when I try to search on any word within it, that recording will not be returned in the list of search results. I’m assuming this is a bug (as opposed to a limitation?). Would be wonderful if this could be resolved..Lzf777Version: 3.3.7

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.Jim ArtisVersion: 3.3.1

I’m dumb struckOh wait, I’m gob smacked. Although I have not tested this in the most trying conditions namely driving with car motor and road noise and the air conditioner on, it’s going to be better than the experience I’m having working with my iPhone recording software. My first test came out exactly as I spoke it. And! This is the big deal: it will transcribe what you said right there on your iPhone or iPad. I was ready to buy special transcription software or hardware. I am so glad that there were enough reviews on this app for me to check it out. It turns out I’ve had it on my iPhone and my iPad for a long time. I never eve opened it or tried it. I’ll be back after I tried this in the car with the air conditioner on..Patti.HaradaVersion: 3.3.7

It’s a snap to use, love the Cloud syncUPDATE: I’ve now had the app on my phone, watch and laptop for a few years, and it has been a real game changer in terms of capturing ideas and to-do items on the fly. The little red dot is displayed on my watch face and several times a day I press it to capture some random thing that pops into my brain. I set up a reminder that pops up on my phone each morning so that I remember to open the app either on my phone or my computer and paste the transcriptions to my to do list. Developers keep improving the app, there used to be occasional and annoying delays in syncing that seem largely resolved. #LoveThisApp #WorthPayingFor.RipplesGuyVersion: 50.7

Almost love it!I want to love this app but I have just a couple issues. Some of my recordings I can’t change the name, no matter how hard I press on the default name they give the recording. And Speaking of how they name the waves, it’s confusing, they should at least use the current date and time I do not understand their numerical system. Also recording from the watch is cool, but that too, you got to hit the record button a lot sometimes, just to get it to record. And sometimes it takes a while for the recordings to go from the watch to the app. Transcription isn’t the best, it only transcribes the first part of the recording even with the setting set to record all... I wish they would let you tag the waves, that would be cool..Cspain11Version: 3.3.1

Missing 1 or 2 ThingsFirst off, I love this app and it’s quick start features. I don’t completely regret the purchase. But for 5$ I kinda wish for more. Perhaps level readings/control and the ability to rename the recordings quicker. It seems I have to tap the file after, then tap the generic name it’s given to edit. Not very intuitive. The stock voice memo app asks right away for a name, which I find annoying and obtrusive. Just looking for something in between that is easy and quick. Otherwise, I like that it puts them in a folder by day and automatically uploads them to iCloud for access on other devices..Maxwell6769Version: 3.2.4

Best app you’ll buy this yearIf 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..Grown1223Version: 3.1.1

Program excellent, But could use a critical improvement…It would be fantastic if an option could be added to automatically dump transcriptions and recordings right into an apple note. To make it actually visible on my Mac computer. And easily viewable on my devices. Reading files in the app is clunky. Having to expand them to read them becomes a nuisance. Viewing on a Mac computer is all but impossible. Totally useless as a practical matter. Another good improvement would be to fix the option to send both a transcript and a recording somewhere. That is not working properly. I just get the recording another text..FlcounselVersion: 41.2

So simple yet accurateJust Press Record has such a simple interface, works so cleanly, that at times I have a hard time believing it’s actually running. It’s a great app. The most useful function for me is it can import an audio recording made by another recording device and Just Press Record will transcribe it, accurately. Other applications that do this are very expensive. Of course the clarity of your voice and how you pace your dictation are crucial. I dictate punctuation. After 30 years using dictation, starting with Dragon, I have learned to keep my voice slow, steady, and flat without inflections. That yields more accurate results..StephenaweissVersion: 42.2

Fantastic: indispensable for staying organizedI’ve never reviewed an app until now but these guys are a small outfit trying to help people so I’ll give ‘em some love. The app just WORKS as they claim it does. I added it to my watch face as a complication for quick access so I can make a note of something I need to remember when I’m unable to pause and tap out text with my thumbs. The transcription from audio to text isn’t perfect yet but I have not found an audio to text transcriber that is perfect… or that’s this inexpensive. So for a one-time $5 fee I won’t complain. Good grief that’s what it costs to add guacamole to a burrito at some places lol.PT-44Version: 46.2

Great with Apple WatchThis is a great, simple, easy to use app the with the latest dark mode update looks fantastic on the iPhone X, and also has great integration with the Apple Watch for simple recordings. Just hit the button and it automatically starts recording even in the background. It really needs a few things though. 1. A better tutorial explaining how to do things like rename files. 2 of the 3 features I was going to ask for are already features! And I just now found them as I’m writing this after weeks of using the app. 2. It would be nice if there was an option in the app to “just press record” like on the watch where opening the app goes into a 3-5 second countdown timer and then starts recording (so it’s easy to cancel if you don’t want to) this should be an option though. 3. My third was going to be about playing back recordings on the watch, which unless this update just added that I didn’t see you could do. This app just got even better AS I’m writing this review. Awesome..Remy LVersion: 3.1

Not perfect, but perfect for my needs.I work from home and go into plenty of meetings and personally like to capture meeting minutes for my reference and to document later action items. This app has allowed me to just press record and refer to the voice to text transcriptions for items I may have missed. While the transcription is not perfect, this app is great considering that it does not have any subscription model and you just have to pay $4.99 for its entirety versus other apps I’ve researched in the AppStore. Do yourself a favor and stop looking at other apps and get this instead..CorporatedudeVersion: 43.4

Best app for getting ideas saved quicklyIt’s true that Just Press Record does not have the best transcription, but that’s because it’s free. There’s a reason most transcription services charge: doing it well is hard, and often requires human beings. I never bought this program to transcribe for me, I bought it to save my ideas quickly and on-the-go, and this does exactly that, all while looking beautiful at the same time. Oh, and they don’t charge for iPad and iPhone separately, they just give you the great app on the other when you buy one. Don’t listen to the haters, this app is hot, and worth every penny!.C CoopVersion: 3.2.2

Reliable APP for years!I’ve been using this APP for a few years now. I have never had any problems with it… so I’m confounded by the problems reported on some of the bad reviews. It’s been reliable and convenient. By biggest problem is remembering to use it at times. They keep improving it. My “wish list” would include the ability to record phone conversations; but I know the laws are different in every state. (I think it’s up to individuals to determined the lawfulness, and get consent from the other party, rather than shut down all recording).Hockeydad10x52Version: 43.2

Get this!I love this app! As a writer, it has literally saved my wrists from RSI and carpel tunnel injuries. There’s no limit to how many transcriptions it can do. Other apps charge per minute, but this app is ONLY a one-time fee! Pay once and you’re done. Just how it should be. I love how it syncs using iCloud. And if you get the Mac desktop app, then all of your audio and text can be accessed there. That makes it so easy. I usually use my Apple Watch to record while on the go. Then either use my iPad or iPhone to do the transcriptions. With a simple copy and paste the text is now in whatever project I’m working on..KumaDRVersion: 35.1

Much better than iPhone Voice memo appI did a test and recorded a 60 second recording from my Apple Watch using Just Press Record while recording simultaneously on my iPhone 8 with the built in Voice Memo app. Of course the recordings from JPR on the Watch transfer to the phone. I listened to both from my phone and JPR trounces the iPhone voice memo app in sound quality and clarity. Hard to believe that the quality of a recording from a WATCH! is better than the phone, but it is and it’s not even close. JPR is particularly useful and functional for the watch. Very pleased. Highly recommend..SrtgsVersion: 3.2.4

Love it but wish file organization was different.I originally gave Just Press Record a 5 star review but lowered to 4. First it's a great simple easy app that does what I need so buy it. You'll be glad you did. I've tried most of the more popular recording apps with Apple Watch integration and this one is best. I just wish I could choose to have all the files sync to iCloud and store them in one folder. They all go into folders by day. I use this to record mileage and then at the end of the month I go through them and create a spreadsheet to turn in to my work. It would make my life so much easier if the files were in one folder..KevinPurcellVersion: 3.3.7

Great App, need ability to edit transcriptsGreat for dictating notes and reminders. Of course the transcribing isn’t always perfect, nor do I expect it to be. My issue is that there is no way to edit the transcription in the app. Meaning you need to share the transcript with another app (the developer suggested Notes) in order to edit any words that were not correctly transcribed. The developer said that this feature may be added in the future, although they have no immediate plans to do so. Not a deal breaker for me, just extremely annoying. Just think it’s something people interested in this app should know..BAd DeTeCtIvEVersion: 3.1

I’m happy I bought itI was on the fence on getting this one... went back and forth for awhile. Once I finally pulled the trigger, I am glad I did. It does just what it says it will. It allows recording on the Apple Watch without being tethered to the phone. This is a huge win, and extremely usable for capturing thoughts on the go. I’m an electronic musician, and it’s nice to be able to sample audio from my wrist for using later. I also love that it syncs to iCloud Drive. From a desktop Mac, you can easily browse the file structure and clear files out or move them. Great purchase!.AvclubVersion: 34

Use it everyday!Absolutely the best app for recording anything, highly recommend. I’m in the service industry and a lot of the time driving so when I receive a call over bluetooth in my truck, I can just hit the complication on my watch and get the details of where I’m going next without having to pullover and write it down... One hick-up I’ve found, which is not a big deal at all is when I delete a recording on my watch it deletes the recording but I still have a file for that date showing in iCloud in files app even though it’s empty..TBBucsfanVersion: 3.2.4

GREAT for writers!I LOVE this app! I've been doing NaNoWriMo and using it (hands free!) when I have to be in the car. Those are the days I get way over my 1,667 words done. One of the best things is that I can hesitate while trying to think of what I want to say next, and it doesn't shut off––a VERY important feature for someone trying to write orally. I had an issue with spacing after punctuation and almost instantly received a personalized email - they’ve been very responsive. I don’t tend to spend money on apps, but this one was well worth every penny for my needs..Katie DavisVersion: 41

Great and usefulThis is a great app especially when using with an Apple watch. In a meeting press the record button on your phone and the meeting is recorded sent to your phone and transcribed. I gave it a 4* only because it keeps launching by accident on my watch. I would like to see an option to confirm start recording and possible haptic feedback to remind you there is a recording going on. Should be optional because not all will agree with me. One other feature i like you can begin recording from your watch then return to your selected watch face with no indication you are recording..OESLBVersion: 3.3.2

Great for transcribing dreams with Apple WatchJust create a watch face with one big button for Just Press Record. Switch to that watch face when going to sleep and when you wake up...voila! Record that dream that’ll you’ll probably never go back and read. I import my transcribed dreams into Day One app. That way I can search keywords and see how many times I dreamt of something. One thing I realized is I don’t have to rush my speaking when using the app like you do with a Siri command. Long pauses in one’s speaking doesn’t make it automatically stop or anything..MazurbrainVersion: 40.1

Beautiful simplicity, but...I would really like to see the ability to create folders and organize recordings other then by date. To have everything in its own folder by day is handy until you can get around to organizing the way you want. Unfortunately you have to go into iCloud if you want to create custom folders. Seems like something that should be able to be handled within the app itself. Please consider this, if that was in place I would give this app five stars for sure! Everything else about it is absolutely wonderful. I love the Apple Watch app, it works very well..SteveMcAnullaVersion: 3.3.3

Settings to Make Stopping Recording More DifficultThe overall app design is fantastic. It does everything it says it does from the iPhone and Apple Watch. The one thing that would make it KILLER to me, would to make it optionally more difficult to stop recording. For example, options to require hitting stop 2-3 times to prevent accidental stopping. Even more innovative, require a passcode to stop recording. That could make this app perfect for recording interactions with unwanted people, maybe an abusive ex, maybe interactions with police. They then couldn’t easily stop the recording. Great work and great app though!.PlanesTrainsAutoThangsVersion: 3.2.4

Very convenient but notifications on watch erase the recordingMy title says it all. When it works it's great, but if you get a text or something during a recording on the watch, the whole recording just disappears. The only way to make it usable during long recordings is to first put the watch in DND mode. Why can't the developer either make it so that notifications don't stop a recording, or at the very least save the recording up to that point? I'd also love a stealth mode - I don't always want to draw attention to the fact that I'm recording a meeting for instance. Maybe just a dark screen, or better yet, record in the background once I press the complication! -- UPDATE: Thanks for the response. I'm looking forward to the update! Until then, would it be possible to auto save a backup every 30 seconds or minute, just in case a notification comes in? Then we won't lose the ENTIRE recording. Thanks for your help. -Matt.SchwartzReportsVersion: 2.3

A songwriters best friendThe best tools are simple and useful. This is one of my most used apps. I don’t use the dictation feature since it’s results are comical. But the Apple Watch feature is its magic power for songwriting. I use it mostly to put down ideas and can then sift through the good ones easily and rename. But the extra juice using it alongside my iPhone. When I am close to finishing a song, I can listen on iPhone while recording and overdub with just press record when I’m driving. It’s super useful to work through lyrics while going for a run or driving in the car to sing along w unfinished harmonies etc. Also great to record moments when kids are still young. A quick tap on the watch while my 4 year old is singing is priceless. Thanks for making a useful, easy to use and not over-featured product. tool.MwingerskiVersion: 48.2

Great app - one tweak requestedI find this app one of the most useful except for one quirk. To play back a recording from the watch face complication, I have to make a useless recording that I have to discard. Why? Because the app starts auto-recording when I press its watch face icon. I have to stop the recording and then scroll to playback. Just Press Record support explains that I can click the crown, find the JPR icon among all the icons there and click it to open JPR without auto-recording. But that is too clunky. I would rather be able to go directly from the watch face to record or play back. If the developer provides a better solution, I will rate Just Press Record as five stars..Ricardo CanadaVersion: 3.3.7

Stable mature productI bought this app quite a while back, and subsequently been updated numerous times and is my go to application when I have something very quick to say that I want to transcribe later. Or, I have something much longer to dictate that Siri would tend to interrupt and break the flow of the recording. This app doesn’t interrupt my thought process and flow, transcription later is fairly accurate, likely ranging somewhere between 70 and 90%. Having a quiet background and speaking clearly and slowly into the microphone produces the best result.A. Greg DicksonVersion: 3.1

Love itI love this app. I use it all the time for recording music ideas to recording important detailed information when I can’t write it down. It works awesome with an iPhone for picking up sound. So you can hit record put down your phone, and then start taking apart something and just narrate what you are doing so you can go back and follow what you did step by step. But it can pick up what I say clearly from across the room. The ability to reorganize and rename files/file names is awesome . I can record and classify what I’m working on into file folders so that I can locate what file I’m looking for in seconds. It backs up to iCloud or google one/drive and is retrievable from all of your devices. This is the one app I must have on my phone at all times and I would be upset if it wasn’t available anymore. Having said that if they moved to a subscription model like all of these other idiot apps out there - that would be the line where I would download all of my info and delete the app. So to any of you ‘greedy app developing subscription pirate money grabbing monkeys’ follow this developers example...because if your app is not on my phone it’s because I read the ultimate swear in your description....the ‘S’ word. I even hate the word description because it sounds like subscription....that’s how much I hate subscriptions. I call people ‘subscriptions’ when I really don’t like them....’you’re nothing but a subscription’ and they recoil in fear and hurt from such insults being uttered. Well, this app will not cause that undue stress to users. I recommend it 100% - and it also comes with the seal of endorsement of the people’s anti-subscription movement.....power to the people..CBzeroVersion: 3.3.7

GratefulI couldn’t believe how greedy other software company’s that provide this tech were being such as Dragon Anywhere, and Speechify among others that are completely out to launch as far as understanding how much the average person has to kill them selves working in order to make the hundreds of dollars annually that those companies are asking for. So I had to give Just Press Record a good review just for allowing the general public to be able to access this technology. The speech to text tech here has many applications other than just for musicians that it’s been marketed towards here, for example I originally wanted access to this type of tech just for when I hear an interesting word in a podcast or audiobook that I’m not confident I know how to spell, I can use an app like this to help look up the meaning of the word. P.S. For those thinking I’m just giving JustPressRecord a good review, because of how horrible other company’s providing this tech are being, I have in fact tested the app out before giving them this positive feed back here by speaking a few paragraphs into the app, and so far it has flawlessly recorded my words and converted them into text without making a single mistake so far, so I am confident this app will work good enough for me, and for anyone else that could use this type of tech..ITunes Forever1000Version: 48.1

Still a great app - but please, bring back the old icon!These folks obviously care about building a great app, as evidenced by the constant improvements. Giving 5 stars, as this latest update continues to work well & look great. However, I implore you, please bring back the old microphone icon! Too many complications on my Watch are just circles; I don't know recognize your app anymore! Please bring it back! Thnks.John in Canada2Version: 2.3

Best voice recording and transcription app for iPhone and Apple WatchI will update this review when I have more time, but in short, this app works flawlessly on both my iPhone and Apple Watch. Not only is the transcription amazingly accurate, but is the only such app that I know of that you can use to edit the transcription if you want to add or change some text later on. Furthermore, the app is not subscription based, but is a one time purchase and provides incredible value for the purchase price. I have tried the incredibly expensive alternatives out there, and Just Press Record beats them all. I highly recommend it!.Bob. HVersion: 50.2

Transcribe does not workMy whole purpose for buying this app was so that I could have a voice memo that actually would transcribe to text, but the text portion does not work at all.Asgard StudiosVersion: 50.1

Wow!!I’m writing this with a buzz of satisfaction. This app works perfectly for what I was looking for. I’m extremely pleased. One press on my Apple Watch screen and it delivers an audio recording with transcription directly to my phone. There’s also the option to review on the watch too. It’s simple and elegant. Works exactly as advertised. I’m glad I got it! Great work dev!.Drl RageVersion: 48.1

Life changing appThis is one of the best sound recording and translating app period..Kismat11Version: 47.3

Transcriptions are inaccurateIt’s a decent app but until it’s transcriptions are made to be more accurate it is not overly helpful. Especially with AI and other more accurate apps now coming into the picture they really need to improve this. For example, it transcribed “re-patterning” as “repair running”. I would rather use native voice memos app at this point and run that through a transcriber..TalhaKh33Version: 46.2

Top DrawerThis app works very well and is easy to use. Linked with my Apple Watch, I can quickly and surreptitiously activate the recorder and have a recording of important conversations. High marks!.MscolvinVersion: 46.1

Amazingly Simple and can’t beat the price - No Subscription!Was looking for an easy to use recorder with text conversion and this really fits the bill. So easy to use, can access from multiple iPads and everything is in the cloud. Could not be happier. A one time fee , no subscription , doesn’t get any better than this. Love it, makes doing minutes for meetings so much easier. Thanks to the developer, keep up the good work!.Tyyyyy234Version: 45.0

Very useful and easy to useOver the years, I have tried several recorders. Biggest problem with the other recorders I have tried is that the recording suddenly stops and it did not save. Just Press Record does as the name implies. Press one button and it just records. Press stop and it saves. Works well with the Apple Watch. The recording goes directly to my iPhone. Please note, that you need to go into the app settings to enable saving to phone. The recordings are very good if you use the high bit-rate. Even at medium, the audio is quite good. If you wear hearing aids, you have an extra option to set the microphone source to either the iPhone’s mic, the watch, or your own hearing aids. Using the hearing aids as the input source is great as you will not get the “shuffling” sounds when the phone is in a pocket, purse, bag, or even on a table when it is moved around..JonchalkVersion: 45.0

Absolutely the best dictation, and transcription appI have probably told over 200 people about this app. Face-to-face. That’s how much I love this. The basics of this app is that you can record any of your thoughts quickly. And then transcribes it in the background, not requiring the cloud to do so. It will do it locally on your phone, so your privacy is respected. You can then use that text in whatever word processor, or email that you want. This app, also saves the original audio. It doesn’t get rid of it, like in almost every other dictation program. Even the native dictation feature of Siri, does not save the original audio. The advantage of this, is that if there is a dictation mistake, you can listen and correct it yourself. Also, it is helpful if you want to record a business meeting, or negotiations, of course informing those other people, and then if there’s any disagreement, you can easily share the original audio. In short, this app is amazing, and you have to get it..SammyVanVersion: 40.2

Consistently ReliableI’ve been using this for 2y since I bought my Series 4, and the native voice note app for WatchOS wasn’t introduced up until recently. There is no option to record from a Bluetooth mic on the native voice note app, like from my Beats headphones, which boggles my mind that Apple didn’t think of that. These guys with this app clearly DID think of that and to me it’s a make or break deal. Which is why I keep using it, user friendly, reliable and although I rarely use the transcribe option, it’s a nice bonus. Thanks to the team behind this!.OmarionxxxVersion: 40.1

Excellent.This is a very polished app that works exactly as advertised, I would recommend you dismiss some of the reviews that you see here if you’re thinking about getting this. Sync works unbelievably well, my audio recordings on my Apple Watch instantly appeared in the app on my phone, it was actually one of the better sync experiences I’ve had. And translating it into text is brilliant, I was shocked when I accidentally discovered that feature as I did not read the intro. Naturally you’re going to have to go in and edit a little bit because all of our voices are different and no dictation service is going to get 100% accurate. This is very normal. This is really a very functional and effective solution for recording, especially on the go, and it looks very nice, they did a beautiful job with the user interface. Do not even remotely hesitate buying this and using it..WinningattitudeVersion: 3.3.7

Just Press Record Negative Reviews

Works well if you don’t ever use the resume or backgroundingI love the way this app records directly to iCloud Drive, which makes it easy to pick up my recordings and do things with them on my laptop… I liked it it has a a nice watch app… What I don’t like is that when I pause a recording, if I then go to do something else on my phone, even for like a couple of minutes, and I come back, the recording is no longer paused, but has finished, and there is no way to continue a recording once you have stopped the recording which is really a shame, because I think that would be a fairly simple thing to add to the software, even apples own voice recorder does that very well… The other thing I noticed is that this app has no background app refresh capability which is maybe why it can’t resume and has stopped recording after being paused, and then put in the background, but I’m not sure, either way, I would think it would be very important for this app to have background app refresh capability on the iPhone..PapaSnootVersion: 46.2

Just Press Record is Voice Memos, but worse and not freeUrchased this app based on Apple’s publication of a “Story” in the IOS App Store that describes Just Press Record (“JPR”) as “The Quickest Way to Record a Voice Memo.” The Story specifically referenced an Apple Watch widget as the basis for naming JPR as the quickest mechanism for recording voice memos available to iOS users. All these claims were absurd. To use JPR on a watch, you tap the widget, which opens the app. To use the free, built-in Voice Memos app, your woe the widget and open the app. These two applications are indistinguishable. Literally. Except that JPR is less reliable (JPR regularly fails to transcribe files, routinely quits, and cannot be counted on to sync across your iCloud devices). Save yourself some money and frustration. Do not purchase this app. Just use Voice Memos. kinda sad to see what a low quality marketplace the App Store has become. I’m updating this with you seven months after I submitted it at no problems have been fixed, domination, and its transcription is a joke, and I have no clue why I paid money for this. Scam..LuigiM1995Version: 48.1

Apple Watch doesn’t sync and lost many good recordingsI was hoping to find an app for my watch that I can make voice notes without having my phone around all the time. Sadly, this is not that app. Sadly, this issue kills this app for me and I’ll have to hope they fix it in the future for me to come back to it. I made a bunch of good notes for myself after being excited about this app on my watch which supposedly transcribes voice notes and syncs with cloud storage, and weeks later I realized they haven’t synced at all. I did everything in their FAQ to solve the issue, where they assure you that waiting will solve the problem. I waited, only to find out all of my good recordings have been automatically deleted from my Apple Watch and not synced at all to iCloud - lost to the ether. That was my mistake to trust this app to do what it said it did, with important notes like that. On to the next app! Bummer all around..Juggles116Version: 50.1

UnreliableUsing this app with my Watch Series 6 has caused me to lose a number of recordings so far. Recordings would be labeled as being 5 hours long, only for me to check in the iCloud sync folder on my iPad that it is only 2 seconds long. Transcription sometimes works, but only for people within very close proximity, and even then it does not work a lot of the time. Transcription also requires you to leave the device on the app and wait, which meant that for long periods of time I could not use my phone. Will give it credit for the times it worked, as the Apple Watch is much more convenient than phone, but at least Voice Memos will not disappear my recordings while offering the same compatibility with watch. The one time I tried customer support they responded frustratingly late..RickydumplingsVersion: 41.2

Just misses the markI’m sure some people have workflows for which this app is perfect. However, the default settings and the functionality is just barely missing what would work for my circumstance (and I imagine a lot of others) My goal is to capture ideas on the run (literally). I installed Just Press Record on my Apple Watch. However, for good reason, recordings on the watch need to make it to the phone to be useful. The default is to auto delete recordings after a week. And the sync didn’t seem to be working. (Do both phone and watch apps have to be open? It doesn’t tell you this if so… and there are ways to sync the file system, such that the apps wouldn’t need to be open…) so, I lost all the recordings I’ve made. I haven’t even gotten this far, but I bet it would be nice to have a way to easily export recordings and/or transcriptions to other tools. For example, with an iOS shortcut. That would allow me to integrate it into my workflow smoothly. I’m really hoping these issues can be addressed so that I can make this app part of my toolbox!.EpeytonsVersion: 50.0

Transcription is uselessI bought this app with the hope that I could record and transcribe interviews. It’s fine for recording, but the transcriptions are worthless. The accuracy is awful, especially if there’s any background noise at all. The accuracy is not even close. It misses entire phrases. It doesn’t matter how clear the recording is or how articulate the speaker. There’s no punctuation unless you dictate it. As an example, I dictated this review in a quiet room on an iPad Pro. This is the transcription: I bought the seven that I can record and transcribe interviews it's fine for recording the transcriptions of worthless the she is awful special yeah. She is not even close Mrs. entire phrases it doesn't through the recording using her or how articulate the speaker is no punctuation as example I dictated this iPad Pro this is the transcription.MysticoftheordinaryVersion: 3.0.2

Original AppleWatch support dropped 😥I LOVED this app. The ability to make recodings/dictations with my (original) AppleWatch was GREAT and I used it daily. This app is at the top of so many “Best Apps” lists... It was incredibly convenient to make recordings when my phone wasn’t near by. With the latest update, support for the original Watch was dropped. This really disappointed me. I have not been using the app since. 😕 It is nearly impossible to roll-back and I’m just not going to put the time into it. I understand this probably has to do with a new SDK or whatever... but the functionality of the previous version with the original Watch was perfect. I don’t plan to upgrade my watch until Winter at the earliest. I’m sure JPR is great with newer watches... I’ll just have to find another solution..Beez808Version: 34.1

Too many “Unknown Transcription Error” msgsI’m very disappointed app would not record unless right beside the source. Even when it did record beside the source (a radio) when later transcribing app would say “unknown transcription error” every time, so only a couple of sentences transcribed before error message and it stopped working. Will delete app today. Wasted money!.YellowLabelVersion: 3.1

Apple Watch Sync Doesn’t work!I bought this app because of the feature allowing you to make recordings on your Apple Watch. The problem is, the recordings don’t sync to my iPhone. Accordingly, the app is useless to me. A waste of money..Sedz1Version: 3.1

Works as long as you don’t update it.If you purchasing this app and it works just be happy and don’t update it. I purchased it to use on my Apple Watch but after the last IOS update I mistakenly updated the app. After that it was no longer available to use on the watch. Apparently the app will work if both watch and iPhone are on the latest software versions.

Great app but missing a critical featureFYI: watchOS 6 now supports Voice Memos on Apple Watch with full iCloud and Complication support. PLAYBACK ON APPLE WATCH IS BROKEN, PLEASE FIX IT [Update] This issue still has not been addressed (watchOS 5&6) as of September 20, 2019. Noticed that this app has not been updated in a while so presuming this could be due to Apple adding Voice Memos in watchOS 6? There is one critical feature that is missing since its inception. This is my typical use-case for this app: - Record something quickly when I do not have the time to create a note or a reminder - When I have time, I process the recordings (e.g., create Reminders, Notes, etc.) - Therefore, I need to be reminded if there are any recordings that I need to process - I have to create a Reminder just to remind my self to process the recordings! THIS APP NEEDS A BADGE SHOWING THE NUMBER OF RECORDINGS PRESENT Also, I don't really see the purpose of the "Watch" tab. I use the app on my Apple Watch; what would be useful is to be able to delete the recordings on my Watch using the iPhone app. I also use the iCloud sync, and right now, I need to manually delete old recordings on my watch. Hope these make sense; if not, please let me know. Thanks!.Ringo RingoVersion: 35.1
