HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (1.0 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Excellent app

Quick download, easy to use and making adjustments are easy as well. I use this app to get Gods word out to the listening area and this allows me to be mobile, at home or in the sanctuary.

My GoTo Recorder

I have at least six “recording apps” on my iPhone 8, but it’s RecordPad that I always open when I’m in the field and realize I need to capture some sounds. It’s the fastest app — least delay between opening to actually recording

★★★★★Aug 20, 2017
Sadly, it doesn't measure up

I had hoped for easy to use tool for dictation and for making short audio clips, but it is in my opinion hard to use and still has many bugs. Maybe the developer gave up since they have not provided any updates in over a year.

★★★★★Mar 30, 2016
Won't Even Open

Crashes when I try to launch it.m
