Tapes App Reviews

.. it would be easier to use if you could read the buttons. In even the best lit areas, the black lettering is difficult to read. Also, all button icons are hard to see. Comes up short for these two reasons. Five star comes with good definition colour white for both button lettering and icons. SOUND quality is great and other than those two items mentioned I like using this app.

Animations and sound effects are very cool. Well thought out. Even remembers where you left off playing each "tape", nice attention to detail.

Very practical Wish the buttons were a bit bigger like the antique stuff AAA++

Ah the good old days. Great app works very well

Everything works as it should and I really like the functionality of everything, But…I just hate the button colours and font size, Also I cant see the names on the buttons without a magnifying glass. For $1.99 I expected a lot more, If the function names and symbols were white or red on black it would be a lot easier to read on the fly on my iPhone. I wish I had the ability to change the looks to different tape recorders. A variety of skins would be nice.

Hallo Yesterday i bought your full version App Tapes. But these are my problems: Where are the records saved? The tape vault seems not to work. Also a problem: After finishing the rocording by pushing the stop button, the app closes immeadetly. Please explain what could be wrong what the app? Thank you for your answers Yours faithfully Giuseppe

I just purchased this app and must say I am very pleased with it. As a journalist, I have used various voice recorders with mixed results. This one is simple and straight forward. I like being able to access my recordings via my browser. I would like to be able to choose different tapes and labels in future versions. But, this app is easily worth the price. Dont let the nostalgic theme of this app discourage you. It is very high tech. Its just what Ive been looking for!

Supposed to act just like a tape deck. Well on a tape deck you can rewind and record over something you want to correct. This app certainly cannot. Also the buttons are very small and difficult to use. Aside from that its a cool concept.

I like this app... But I wish it would wirelessly sync with the Mac app TapeDeck. It appeares that the UIs are curiously the same.?

Perhaps a revision will be better but I found the control keys hard to see and most importantly for me this application would not let me either append to or edit a previous recording. With the "cassette" in place hitting the recording key would completely erase anything already recorded. Also this app isnt yet listed on the developers website, so there may be limited support.

Please dont judge a book by its cover. When I purchased this app, I thought I would be able to rewind/fast foward exactly to where necessary-NOT! Instead it takes you all the way back or foward, nothing in the middle. The recording quality is worse than other free applications out there. Thank God all I spent was 99 cents! It was worth it, just to have the opportunity to warn potential buyers-NOT TO BUY IT!

This app is almost perfect!! As for the complaints. Let me clear things up. • You CAN rewind & fast forward, and stop where you want. Its just a little difficult. To the reviewer saying you cant, CHECK THE APP BEFORE POSTING FALSE BULLCRAP!!!! • The recording quality is SUPPOSED to be less than perfect!!! The point of this app is supposed to simulate a TAPE player/recorder! Thats how tapes sound! Its bad on purpose! If you want a high quality recorder, look elsewhere. If you want TRUE tape simulation; this is it! Now for a couple of things to make it an easy 6/5 stars. • Slow down rewind/fast-forward speed to get to a specific time easier. • Add ability to start recording in the middle of a previous recording. This will add to the tapes realism. • Add ability to see where you are in the tape spool. Like a visual representation of the digital timer next to the volume gauge. • Add ability to use both sides of the tape. Both A and B. Otherwise, the "A" on the tapes are pointless. • Add directories to sort tapes into. The directories could be represented by shelves or drawers. • The speakers are cool for iPhone users but not for iPod touch 2G users. To accomidate for both; just remove them. • Make tapes in deck on tape selection view thinner to make them seem more like the tapes they represent. • Make tape colors and styles coustomizable.

This app is pretty cool in my opinion. It is extremely easy to use and quite fun. It reminds me of being a kid at my grandparents house, they had a tape deck that looked just like this! We used to pretend to be newscasters and interview everyone! I am enjoying this with my kids now! Records great! Oh, and "free" tapes! Woohoo! And these wont unravel or warp! Not to mention I will have this on me at all times!! And I can label all my tapes too! Great job on this! Thank you! I  it!

Wow, takes me back a ways... Very nicely done, love how easy to create different tapes and keep them.

I love it and want to use it as my only tape app, but.... its crazy how you can tape over an entire long tape with one click of the record button. And for those who say the rewind button works fine... I dont see how... it just flicks back to the start of the tape... the wheels dont even turn. And the tape shouldnt slide in from the side.... tapes load in from the bottom, and the numbers should be a cool red, not that blue! Cant wait for an update!

It is really good app for recording, it is easy and simple app.

The single best feature is being able to easily copy recordings off using FTP. I dont understand why more developers dont add this feature to their apps.

first of all, this is a great idea. BUT... 1. Say you record a little bit on a tape and want to record more to it later (or better yet, edit something you already recorded), you cant. when you press record again, it deletes the entire tape and starts over. THIS IS NOT LIKE A TAPE DECK; you need the ability to record more material to existing tapes, and use the transport to move around the recording(s). 2. The sound effects could be SO MUCH BETTER. Make it sound like a real tape deck also. Aside from these 2 flaws, the 1st one being the most significant, this app is a great concept. The graphics are not bad at all.

This could easily be the coolest recorder app out there. Does everything a recorder app should do. But with style. Five stars.

Reminds me of when i was a kid and played with one of these at my godfathers house by the beach. Youve really captured the feel. Nice animations. Thank you for making this!
