MVR 1.1.0.0

A neat solution for creating audio recordings and keeping them protected on your phone
Recording audio using just a mobile phone is a relatively simple job for pretty much anyone, as the only thing needed is a dedicated app that can access the handset's microphone to capture sounds.

For Windows Phone users there are plenty of choices in this respect and if you uneed one such app, there are a few utilities available for you to try and you can take for a spin a tool called MVR (My Voice Records).

Easy to use front-end with decent graphics

The smooth appearance of this application is governed by simplicity and functionality seems to be at the core of its development. The graphical elements are very clean and carefully designed, so the app is also pretty nice to look upon.

The commands for operating the app are close at hand and accessing the recordings or managing them can be done easily thanks to the well structured layout of MVR.

The operation is simple and the transitions among the various areas of the utility are fluent and without any visible delays or some other kind of glitches. There is, nonetheless, a quite noticeable drawback, namely the presence of some adverts that appear in most areas of the app.

Capture sound and secure saved files

One of the advantages of this utility is the ease of use and this becomes evident from the first use, as all you have to do in order to start the audio capture is tap the microphone button. Pausing or stopping the recording can be done equally easily.

There is no limit for the sound capture and as soon as you save the audio files you can view a lot of details for each of them, like the size, length or the exact date and time when they were created.

A special feature of MVR is the password protected access to the app, which means that all your recordings can stay safe, as there is a PIN code you can setup on the first run. The passcode cannot be modified later on and there is no recovery option, so make sure you remember it well.

Play and upload recordings on the go

The application makes it possible for you to include the captured sounds inside your cloud storage account after logging in to OneDrive. The transfers take place at a decent rate, so in a short while you can create copies of the items from the app's local storage.

To listen the recordings you can use the utility's player that has "Play/Pause" and "Stop" controls, as well as a switch for muting the sound and another one for replaying the file form the beginning.

The name of the respective file can be modified and you can attach relevant notes as well to every capture you make, either when saving it or at a later time, using the "Edit" function.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
 

The GUI focuses on practicality, but MVR offers a well organized front-end, even if it has some advertisements inside.

Function8
 

The password protection, OneDrive integration and the ability to add notes to the recordings are most welcomed, but the app needs at least some sharing options.

Security10
 

The application can be safely installed on any supported device as it doesn't peek inside sensitive system areas for no good reason.

Battery1
 

If kept active for longer periods of time, the utility will completely discharge the phone battery as it has an extremely high power usage.

Price9
 

Despite the offers to try other apps, this tool offers a very good and free alternative for those looking for a simple means to record sound using their phone.

Compatibility9
 

Designed to accommodate the needs of most Windows Phone users out there, the utility only requires version 8 or higher of the OS.
