"As an indie songwriter constantly moving between studios and rehearsals, this app is a revelation. When paired with my iQ7 mic, the audio fidelity is indistinguishable from my desktop setup. The 6-band EQ and mastering effects allow me to polish my song ideas on the train and sync them instantly to my DAW via iCloud. It truly brings that professional Zoom hardware experience to my iPhone."

"I've replaced my bulky field recorders with HandyRecorder for all my on-the-go journalism. The Auto Rec function ensures I never miss a quote during fast-paced interviews, and the ability to normalize and edit files directly in the app is a massive time-saver. Being able to upload high-quality AAC files straight to SoundCloud while still in the field has completely streamlined my production workflow."
