Quickie Review: Recorder

Have you been looking for a simple, easy-to-use voice recorder on the iPhone. Well, $0.99 can get you Recorder by Retronyms and it's truly just a recorder, and that's what I like about it.

While I love add-on features and extras, sometimes all you want and need is a big red record button and that's precisely what Recorder gives you. Of course, you can also organize your recorded memos, rename them from the standard "Memo" and even e-mail them to yourself. These last two features were included in the application's recent update, which were completely needed, if you ask me. The program's not perfect, but if all you need is a quick way to take verbal notes, it's foolproof. 

Supposedly, you can record hours of notes and though I haven't tried that, it did go past the limited memo length of 15 seconds that the similar app, Jott offers. 

Okay, verdict time. Is it worth the 99 cents? If you need a voice recorder, then yes. I mean, who hasn't forgotten something while out and about because you swore you'd "write it down" when you got a chance? I'd shell out the almost dollar and buy it.
