A Versatile Tool

The SimpleMic app acts as a versatile tool that makes it possible to make voice recordings that you can then turn around and share to Dropbox, SoundCloud, iCloud Drive, and AirDrop. Use this app to make quick notes, record a business meeting, ideas, thoughts, and anything else. What's really great about the app is the user interface which is nothing short of beautiful. It’s intuitive and makes use of the full screen so that gesture functionality is smooth and responsive. The gesture controls are also so much faster to use, which fit with the app’s core goal. When you want to start recording just swipe the screen to begin, it's that easy. There are three different recording modes too, which can be accessed by swiping up or down.
