As the name suggests, the application allows the user to record voice memos audio and save indirectly in the device. From recording a lecture to an interview, it can be used for different purposes. You can use the built-in microphone or the iPhone earbuds to record the audio.
Either way, the clarity will be good in quality and you will be able to understand everything in the audio easily. However, if you decide to record using the built-in microphone, make sure to keep the device as close to the subject as possible lest you will hear audio that will seem to be coming from a distance.
Voice Memo saves the audio in a universally compatible format that runs on nearly all devices including those running on Windows and Android. You will be able to share the recorded audios with another gadget like Windows PC, Mac, or Android phone.
