Don't waste the .99 cents

You won't be recording calls for just .99 cents. You have to purchase blocks of time for recordings. Better to spend the money up front on an honest app that does it all for the advertised price.
Can't get it to record
Catastrophically
I cannot get this app to record at all. It will not even call the person, and once it even called someone whose number I did not input. I was trying to call my mother and it called a total stranger who answered the phone in a different language. I am surprised that this app has so many good reviews, but it is truly a useless app. I regret the .99 cents I spent on it, and the additional 1.99 I spent for an hour block of recording. There is no way to test if the app works without buying the 1.99 hour block of recording (as it is the minimum number of credits you can buy), so I only had prior reviews to go on. Sadly, it does work at all. I'd stay away from this app.
Call recording costs extra
Peregrin J
I just bought this app, and then after I bought it, I found out that it cost extra to record calls. There is a permanent charge. I feel that there should have been a mention of that in the information for this app. The app seems to work fine other than that.
Deceptive money grubbers!

Costs $ to download app. Then you have to pay for minutes to use the recorder. That was not mentioned in their info. If I had known you have to pay more after you pay for the app, I wouldn't have downloaded it.
Unreliable

I can’t get it to record. It worked one minute and then not the next. Can’t figure out how to get it to work again. I tested it and then went to an interview and couldn’t get it to work. Very frustrated!!
No support
Musicianneedingsupport
The new version renames all your files when you sync, so if you give them meaningful names you will just be wasting your time. I wasted hours on this. I submitted 2 support queries on this subject and never heard back. Maybe for phone calls this is okay, but for music there is probably a more responsive app maker out there.
Retronyms Loses Recordings
Yael Grauer
The amount of problems with this app are astounding. It doesn't record. It doesn't play back. Their tech support is sloooow and don't know how to fix anything. There are too many glitches for them to keep up with. When Retronyms upgraded to their newer version, they LOST two very important recordings I needed. Apparently, someone paying you by the minute for backup storage on recordings doesn't mean that it's a priority to actually store the recordings. They have no phone number available for tech support, so I had to wait for emails from a very nice and well-meaning customer service rep…who couldn't do squat because the engineer was sloooooow at getting back to her. When he supposedly "fixed" the problem, it wasn't actually fixed. As it stands, I'm now sitting on an article I was supposed to turn in 5 days ago. I had to explain to my editor that I missed my deadline because I bought an app where I pay by the minute for recording and storage, but they magically deleted the recording off of my phone, and it took them 5 days to "fix" something in a way that didn't fix anything, and so the waiting game continues.
Doesn’t do incoming calls, and routes outgoing ones
mr100percent
The app only records outgoing calls, not incoming ones (due to apple’s hardware not allowing calls to be tapped). Outgoing calls are US-only, because it forwards the call through a server that records the call (thus an internet connection is required). Unfortunately when I tried using the app I got a 502 error. The developers have a good support page with FAQ, but no mention of that error nor what it means.
