VoiceNotes 1.5.0.0

Record sound with your phone's microphone, save and upload the voice notes on the go
There are many situations in which someone might need to take a note for remembering an important event, a task that has to be done later on or simply an idea that is worth taking into consideration.

For those who are looking for a faster way of saving their ideas, trying out on their Windows Phone powered handsets a tool like VoiceNotes can be the perfect choice.

The app has the advantage of being ready to record anything you say at a moment's notice, without spelling mistakes or other inherent shortcomings we face when writing things down.

Uncomplicated look for a functional app

The looks of this application are plain and there are no eye-candy elements inside the almost empty GUI that hosts a few buttons and the main menu, where all the goodies are kept.

The utility uses the phone's theme and doesn't provide any kind of customization for the visuals inside the app. Going from one section of the app into another is done very smoothly and without delays or other flaws.

After you use it once or twice, VoiceNotes will start to show some rate and review reminders each time it is launched, but you can dispose of them with a single tap as soon as you see them.

One tap to record and simple management

The application is a breeze to use since it doesn't have any configurations, so you can start the audio capture right away. With one tap on the dedicated button from the main menu the recording is triggered and you can pause or stop it using the corresponding buttons.

While it is capturing sound from the mic, the utility displays a meter that lets you know just how loud the source audio is, so you can speak louder or soften the tone if needed.

Each voice note is saved automatically, even if the app is closed accidentally and you can listen to the recordings by pressing the speaker icon shown on the left side of each entry from the main list. Editing the name of the saved files and deleting them are possible as well.

Pin notes and upload them in no time

With VoiceNotes you will be able to sent to your OneDrive account the captured sounds, one at a time, as the utility integrates seamlessly with this online service.

Another advantage offered by the app is the ability to pin the recordings to the Start screen for instant access. In case you want to empty the database, tap the "Delete all" button and all the saved sounds will be erased momentarily.
