What's New

* Minor bugs fixed
* Background recording: with that feature You can use other software installed on the device while tapeRecorder is recording. It is useful for example during a conference to take notes with any text editor app installed on the device while tapeRecorder is recording the audio conference for You. An example of text editor can be Pages, my iNotePad, etc…
* Recording feature is now available also when the device display is shutdown (increase the device battery duration during recording): shutdown your device while recording --> tapeRecorder will continue to record audio for You
* Background play: You can use other installed software while tapeRecorder is playing an audio file.
* Play when device display is shutdown (increase the device battery duration during playing): shutdown your device while playing --> tapeRecorder will continue to play audio for You
* Play instantly starting from -5 seconds: useful for example when You have to take handwrite notes of a previously recorded audio conference (such as for example a University lesson). During play, pressing "play -5s" button tapeRecorder will repeat the last five seconds (go back in time 5 seconds from the current play position and play automatically starting from the new position) so You can listen better something You have not understand. Pressing repeatedly "play -5s" button You can go more back in time, -5 seconds for each click:
- pressing one time --> current play position - 5 seconds
- pressing two times --> current play position - 10 seconds
- pressing n times --> current play position - 5*n seconds
so You can choose with only one click the position to listen while You take handwrite notes
* PLAY ALL control: switch this control to ON to play automatically one after another all the audio files contained into the "audio Archive". You can use this feature with "background play" feature when for example You are in voyage or You are doing a running sport and You want to listen music (all the songs can be chosen from the device iPod library and saved into the "audio Archive" with its artwork --> playlist).
* New "audio Archive"
* Ability to rename .caf audio recording file name using the new "audio Archive" (the default name is date/time of recording string)
* Audio file sharing using "Open In" feature
* Better graphics, users interface and artwork
* Incredible high audio quality recording and playing
