Record Lectures App Reviews

This app takes up half the size of the monitor. Why would they make the app so large? Obviously, this was ported from another platform or what not and was not given much thought. Furthermore, you can only type appx 12 letters for the title of each recording. Seriously?

Recording anything is the first step. Orgainizing, sharing, labelling cataloguing and easy use are the big assets of this app. Thes features make Record Lectures stand out from anything else.

Realy love the update. Now it looks good not only to me but to others as well on the screen of my Mac. Love the simplified layout and better functionality.

Audio can be separated and export to other device and shared, making notes, managing and editing is so very easy. Made my life simple.

I like the simple user interface. Everything is intuitive. However, I’d really like the option of importing mp3 files, and also tagging the audio either during recording or in playback.

The ability to trim out parts you don’t want must be implicated in the app. Just in case you record longer than you wanted or started too early.

I can’t color code by class. It won’t let me change the recording to a different date if I accidently click on the wrong one. I can’t start then pause and resume recordings either. Sometimes we have group work. I don’t need to document 50 students talking over each other for 15 minutes!!!

It records fine. I have recorded one lecture. However, after the second lecture I could not figure out how to save it, thought it would ask if I tried closing, but it didnt ask me. Lecture was “GONE”. There is a checkmark that is hard to see way down at the bottom of the screen. DONT FORGET TO CLICK ON IT BEFORE CLOSING!!! YOU WILL LOSE THE RECORDING!. It does record for more than an hour so far. Not sure how long it will go, but it is a bit tricky to use and not self explanatory so make sure you familiarize yourself FIRST.

I really love this app. and how it organizes my lecture recordings in a calendar format and everything, but when you listen to the recordings, the player doesn’t allow you to fast forward or backwards so you can relisten or pick up where you last stopped. I find that kind of frustrating but other than that, I love everything else about this app. Please fix that if possible.

I love it because of its simplicity. I am just wondering if I can add previous recordings to its calender to add to my lecture collection.

Not chill for an app that I have to pay for. My 50 minute lecture will end and I’ll go to “Record Lectures” only to see that it stopped recording 23 minutes into the lecture. This happens pretty often and it needs to be fixed.

This app definitely makes recording lectures and taking notes so much easier!! When it comes time to make a study guide for an upcoming test, it is very useful to be able to copy and paste notes over and relisten to the lectures. I do have some problems with it saying "You must click done to save and exit." While this may seem self-explanatory, there is no place to click done or save to be able to close the application.

This is app is great, you can record lectures and make notes at the same time which is great for class. BUT, if you ever want to delete any of your notes, THE APP DELTES ALL NOTES IN ARCHIVE!!! This is a horrible glitch that needs fixing immediately. Beside each lecture note a delete option is available along with edit note and send note. When you press delete note you are given a verification "DO YOU WANT TO DELETE THIS REOCORD?” assuming that record is singular and only the one will be deleted. BUT ALL NOTES WILL BE DELETED if you choose yes. Unless you’re the kind of person that never cleans up your cluttered notes I suggest looking for another app to avoid this danger.

I like the new developments. I wish though there was a timestamp tool and you could playback, pause, rewind a little easier. Maybe integrating the space bar? The timestamp tool is really important in a notetaking app. (Integrate it with preview)

I wish there was a way to listen at different speeds.

I downloaded the app, and intially I loved it. Then a month after I bought it, I went to go play a recorded lecture from one of my college courses and my lectures wouldn’t play. It had the time and name of the lecture, but it wouldnt play the audio, almost as if all of it was deleted. Not worth the money… disapointed.

this app has so many technical flaws. It will randomly speed up the recordings so fast that I can’t understand them without slowing them down through a different app. There will be random loud bursts of static. It will stop recording when my computer goes to sleep, which I understand, but it gives the false premise that it kept recording becuase the time wont stop until you pause it. so say my computer went to sleep after 15 minutes of a lecture, and after the lecture i stop it at 50 minutes. it’ll show up as a 50 minute recording, but whe you play it only 15 minutes are there. so you don’t know until you missed something really important and you want to go back to hear it. theres no way of avoiding it i guess, but the typing is super loud in the recordings. I had high hopes, I’m dissapointed.

I bought this app to use to record lectures for college. It was a waste of money. I tried to play it back and was extremely disappointed. It played about the first minute perfectly, but then sped up the recording too fast to even try to understand. I’m not sure it would do this if I listened to the entire thing from the beginning, but I wanted to move forward to a certain topic discussed. Instead, I got 50 minutes of lecture (which it says is the time of the recording, by the way) in 5 minutes of actual playback. Do not spend money on this app. You will be sorry you did.

I’ve had this app throughout my four years of undergrad, and it has only stopped working this past semester. I am VERY disappointed that it no longer will record a lecture all the way through without stopping.I have to stop the recording and start another one, losing material in between.
