Reviews for Dolby On: Record Audio & Music

Essentially no options or setting choices. My phone has 3 mics, and it Dolby says it has Dolby sound so there shouldn't be any issues finding them, but there are no options fo selecting what noise cancelling settings are used. There really aren't any settings at all. And you can't use the native android shareing, which is weird. It has to export it. It looks like you might be able to to export as .wav, but you don't seem to have any options other than that and the default m4a.

I want to like this app. When it works properly, it's fantastic. However, often the _second_ video (and every subsequent) video I record in a single session saves the audio at half-speed. The _video_ appears at normal speed, but the audio is half speed. The last frame of the video is repeated in order to pad out the video to the length of the half-speed audio. A three minute recording session produces a _six_ minute video where the audio is half-speed. It's maddening. It ruined many sessions.

The quality of the recording is very good. On my old Android phone, though, I sometimes get a slight pause in the recording, even if I have shut down all the other apps on my phone. The biggest drawback to this app is trying to get the tracks off the phone and onto my computer. You have to export the file from the app and that takes a long time. This step really doesn't "export" the file, it just gets it ready to upload. Even longer if your phone's screen turns off..it stops exporting. After the app finishes getting the file ready for export, there is a long upload process to Google Drive or Dropbox. Most of the time, for me, the upload fails and I have to do the export thing all over. It usually works on the second try.

this app is amazing and the audio quality is great! the only reason I can't give it five stars is because it's really lacking in file management. I can build up hundreds of voice memos in just a month or so and there's no way to select them all and download them or anything like that. it would also be nice if my recordings were just automatically stored on my device like some other apps. other than that it's a fantastic app and I'll definitely use it for things like voiceovers or vocals.

Useless for what i wanted it for. Which was to test the quality of different microphones on my phone. However it will not record anything from a Bluetooth device. No headsets, earbuds, car, nothing. Not sure why they show off in their demo video recording "studio level" tracks when all they will allow you to use is the built in mic, or one directly wired in.

It seems to be a good app - simple interface, reliable known developer. My two comments are: 1) it seems impossible to share a file after it's been saved (or at least, the interface is too simple for me to figure it out?) and 2) the inability to share multiple files at a time, or even better, access the files within the sdcard filesystem, is a big loss. Why would the app developers not allow this? The average user won't notice while the power user can use it for easier file sharing. It's a free app, so I can't ask for much, but if I can ask for anything, please save files into a directory that the user can access...

Recordings turn out much better than on other apps. The streaming feature is really powerful. I recorded about 30 gb in the app so far. It's laborious and time consuming, getting the files out of the app. I wish I could simple access the original recording files directly. An option to name files based on date would be helpful. Default settings would be nice. I find the noise cancelation a bit too strong. I use it at setting number 1, and wish I could turn it down to about a quarter that.

Absolute trash! What's the point of an app that records audio and video if you can't access your files? The default folder is nowhere to be found. I changed the export location, and found the new folder, only for it to be empty. When you record, a little circle appears when you finish. That does nothing as well. I also made sure that I hadn't denied any permissions. No files anywhere on my device. The support page was zero help as well.

Everyone else seems to love this app, so maybe I'm doing something wrong; however, I have found it incredibly frustrating. I am a singer and would really like to record some videos of my singing, but no matter what I try (and I've done a fair amount of research), which tools I use, how close or far I am, or what style I choose, the sound quality is absolutely horrible. My singing is garbled and tinny, while the background accompaniment (usually just a piano) sounds like it's underwater. Honestly, using my regular cellphone video is far better--at least the sound is consistent. I was very disappointed.

Multi-track PLEASE?! If I could simply listen to the already-recorded track (or imported audio file) on headphones and then record a new audio track to play *alongside* the first one, this would be perfect! And then let us do that again, and again! If there are mobile CPU limits, then set it to just 8 simultaneous tracks. Make all this good workflow and processing have the function of a DAW for when we REALLY want to lay down an idea, or for when we simply want to show off vocal harmonies!
