Description
Voice Memos turns your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch into a portable audio recorder, making it easy to capture and share personal notes, song ideas, family moments, classroom lectures, and more. Editing tools like trim, replace, and the new “Save As” feature let you fine-tune your recordings without altering the original. The transcription feature converts speech into text, simplifying the process of finding and referencing specific content. And the new feature to record a vocal layer on top of an existing instrumental recording* without the need for headphones making it easy to capture song ideas on the go. Users can then separate and edit the vocal and instrumental layers independently to continue expanding on those ideas. And with iCloud support, you can capture audio on the go with your iOS device, then use your Mac to do even more with your recordings.

Ratings and Reviews
Why I love this app
This app helps me so much. I record my guitar, playing and songs that I’m writing and it helps me think of what I’d hear on another device. This app also helps for if I wanted to record a funny moment with my sister or friend this app helps so much with so other many things, one thing I learned with this app is that it is so flexible you can use it every day of the week and it be just right there. Perfect for you just hit the red button for you to start whatever you want to record and then whenever you’re done just hit the button again this app helps me so much and I’m so glad I can use it. Every time I use this app I just feel like it’s so good I don’t even even know how to explain how good it is because I could just do anything I know Cameron does the same thing but if you don’t want to see what’s going on this is the app just for you because in my opinion, I don’t want people looking at my face when I’m singing like it it’s just not a person that I am. I’d rather have somebody listen to my whole album and hear it and not watch my face because somebody looking at me while I’m singing this gives me the heebie-jeebies so this app helps me so much with so much other stuff in this world I cannot tell you how much I love it.
Got me through NURSING SCHOOL
I would read pertinent info into voice memo while reading it aloud, as well as the questions at the end. Depending on my commute length, I would either re-read important chapters/notes, concepts & formulas or I would quiz myself. The following is a very simplistic example: Hey, self, we do this to push info into your concrete memory. Remember that. Quick note; these last two comments are randomly interspersed to reinforce the learning by forcing a refresh. Back to self; self do you know what the average heart rate for a healthy human is? {adequate answer’s time length of pause plus 2-5 secs} If you said 60 to 100 bpm, you’d be correct. Next question.
If I got it wrong, depending on the difficulty level of the question, I’d answer every question with its answer, asking what/where I’d find the answer w/rationale. And so on. It’s the only way I learn copious amounts of knowledge. Fun fun.
But, in all seriousness and with gratitude, yes, I really really loved voice memo. There is an app I believe just out with the 16 with the AI able to do much of what I manually did when voice memo was first introduced. So, if you can’t afford the shiny, the sorta rusty really still works. ✌🏻
Voice memo “feedback”
Of course its a great apple app..especially if your hungry for hearing yurself blab away like a fool when no one is around to delete later feeling somehow unburdened anymore. 3ven when people who can’t be seen and might be on boats at the boatyard and might or might not be listening hear you or see you pointing your finger to the moonlit sky and shouting to yur hand (except in Oakland beach,R.I. Somehow an ambulance shows up after the 30 and under police force can’t tolerate decibel level 2.7 in soft English tones to ask more pointed jackassy questions .) they would just know “oh someone talkin into “voice memo” or if they really curious they would approach gingerly and I would say it’s a cool apple app “voice memo”. Then i would show them and they’d be like “oh ok Yada tostada whatever ok coolness it is, thx JokerCowboy for sharing that nugget.!.(except in Oakland beach,R.I. Where the gentle sway of the water matches there peaceful manly temperament so please don’t speak loudly,forcefully or with any conviction at all like a man would from the other 47 mainland states or Alaska and the only REAL island state Hawaii. 4 stars simply because that’s a pretty good score and also 5 star rating only comes when it automatically records when I need it to and I don’t even realize it yet until later when I listen
