About InstaRecord

InstaRecord is the quickest way to record audio with your phone.
There's no [REC] button: just open the app and it starts recording high-quality audio.

Why is it so awesome?
InstaRecord is perfect for when a monkey starts talking in a human voice to you and then it says,"No-one will ever believe you!" just before the zookeeper shows up. Sure, you could fumble around with a regular recorder but it would take forever and the monkey would figure out what you were doing, and there goes your chance to make megabucks selling your story to the tabloids. Nobody should have to suffer this disappointment.

Settings
Even though the app is super-simple, you can change how it works. Open the settings (companion app with a wrench icon) and you can make these adjustments:
* change the soundwave display duration (default is ten seconds)
* change the display colors
* change the audio quality (default is max)
* get a prompt to give recording custom names
* open recent recordings

Permissions
There are four we had to use for InstaRecord:
Storage: the app needs to save audio to the SD card.
Network communication: to get the ads in the settings screen.
Phone calls: ads do a 'Read Phone State' ping or it doesn't count as an ad impression.
Hardware controls: the app needs to access the microphone.

Feedback
If you like it or don't like it, say why in your review comment. That way we can make it better instead of just being sad and grumpy and eating a whole family-sized thing of pretzels and getting thirsty just after running out of Mountain Dew. We made this app because it's slightly more awesome than what's out there already, so if you can use your words then it'll be better next time, we promise.

In which file it saves? Sd, what's the filename?

N70%
by N####:

It records lectures pretty well, the sound comes through way better than the built in app on my phone.

by S####:

What is plot duration mean? I don't know. Thanks. App does what it says. Wish it was more,stealth as in recording without app showing on screen, maybe just a red icon in notification bar.

This app works amazingly well, and it's really easy to use; the only problem is that you can't specify which folder to auto-save recordings to.

My only complaint is that you can't set the output directory.

I don't have an SD card. My phone has 8gb internal memory. Is there any way to use that instead of being unable to open app?

Sorry does not make a recording on ASUS TRANSFORMER T101 with Android V4 Ice Cream Sandwich. Hope you can fix as jolly good idea.

W70%
by W####:

This app is awesome. Makes sudden random occurrence much easier to record without having to press two buttons(one to start the app and one to start recording) with all other sound recorders on the market.

N70%
by N####:

It seems like once you've made a recording there is no way to delete it? Also, recording stops as soon as you put it into the background. It'd be a lot nicer if there was at least an option to not show any UI at all, except maybe a notification, and when you launch it, it'd just immediately start recording in the background.

N70%
by N####:

Like InstaCamera, this is a great concept soiled by a lack of options. One simple addition would make this a 5-star program: The ability to tap and hold on a recording (in the Options companion) and share it. I am on the road a lot and when I get ideas for my book, I like to record them and send them to my DropBox to refresh my memory when I get home. Add this feature and you WILL get another 5 stars. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

N70%
by N####:

Lots of sound recorders on Google Play, including pretty ones with retro pictures of tape cassettes and clever ones with dozens of options for dictating that best-selling novel, but this is the *only* one which seems to really grasp the reality of needing to capture a quick voice memo while out and about. One press, quick start, instant save of a few seconds of "Call Doris!". Please help make this app popular enough for the developer to be encouraged to add the only feature I really miss here - to be able to choose the destination folder, as one can in stable-mate program InstaNote Pro. (Sorry I forgot to call, Doris.)

I can live without being able to set my directory, but please don't send my recordings into my Music folder for me to have to go looking through.

Works perfectly. One tiny suggestion to the devs This app works amazingly well, and it's really easy to use. I love their stuff. Dear devs: when the "prompt to save file" comes up, can you make it auto-open the keyboard? It's an extra press having to click on the blank field first. I know this is possible. Would just save one more click, and you guys are all about speed. Thanks again for the great apps!
