Students, meeting notes and band rehearsals
The store description points at three groups. Students can record lectures, then slow down or speed up playback and skip silent parts. Business users can capture interviews and meetings on a phone, tablet or smartwatch and send them to colleagues by email or a messaging app.
Musicians get presets for voice notes, meetings and lectures, and music or raw sound. The description frames this as a quick way to try an idea and record another take.
Formats, widgets and the Wear OS tile
Recording works in PCM and MP4, with AMR as the option for saving space. Widgets and shortcuts start a new recording, and recording continues in the background. You can search and sort recordings, share them, or set one as a ringtone.
The Wear OS support lets you record from a watch, and a watch tile starts a new recording. Light and dark themes and TalkBack support are included. The developer says there are no time limits on recording length.
What the free version leaves out
The app is free, with ads and in-app purchases. Transcription runs on the device, is marked beta, and covers English, Spanish and Portuguese. Free use limits transcription time per recording, while Pro unlocks full transcripts. It does not work on 32-bit devices.
Pro adds MP3, FLAC and AAC, Bluetooth microphone recording, trimming in Edit mode, folders, and automatic upload to Google Drive or Dropbox. Stereo recording and an ad-free app also sit behind Pro. It is not a call recorder and cannot record calls on most phones.

Is Easy Voice Recorder safe?
Digipom publishes Easy Voice Recorder and keeps a website at digipom.com. The content rating is Everyone, and the app shows ads and offers in-app purchases.
