Rapid Recorder 1.9.4.0
In case you want to quickly record sounds using just your Windows Phone handset, having a utility like Rapid Recorder installed might prove to be a great advantage.
Friendly interface with a convenient layout
The looks of this application are very simple and with little if any elements of graphical design that could be deemed as attractive.
The functions and commands are easy to reach as they are hosted in the main menu, which is accessible from the lower part of the screen. Going from one section of the app into another is done very smoothly and without delays or other flaws.
The informative GUI offers some useful details about the recording time you have at your disposal, while the timer has a decent size and is very easy to read.
There is also a sound meter that is active while you are capturing audio from the phone's microphone, so it may help you make an idea about the recording volume.
Record sound and manage captures on the fly
The main ability of this tool, namely that of capturing sound through the handset's microphone works seamlessly. The app doesn't have a problem with longer recordings, as you can record as much audio as you want, as long as there is enough storage space.
With one tap on the large dedicated button on the main screen the capture is triggered and you can stop in a similar manner to have the file saved and available for the "Recordings" section.
The saved files can be arranged by date and by selecting any of them you can play the tracks or attach relevant text notes using the special function Rapid Recorder comes with.
Upload audio files and pin Start screen tiles
The utility makes it possible for you to store the captures in your cloud storage accounts on Dropbox or OneDrive, as it integrates with both services.
The audio playback has the usual play/pause controls and you can even fast forward or rewind the track, while a volume slider can be activated from the main menu.
In order to keep some recordings you made close at hand, Rapid Recorder enables you to pin them as tiles to the Start menu and once you tap them, the files will start playing in the app's built-in player.
