About this app

Introducing AfterRecorder, the only voice & audio recording app on Android that lets you retroactively record audio!!


AfterRecorder means you'll never miss getting an important moment on audio. The app runs continuously in the phone's background listening and storing anything within earshot into temporary memory. Any audio older than a preset time limit is deleted from the temporary buffer to save memory. You have up to 5 minutes to decide if what has been temporarily recorded is something worth keeping. With a simple double button click, you can save the stored audio to an audio file on your phone.

***What sets AfterRecorder apart from other audio recording apps?***
Other audio recording apps don't give you the ability to be able to get unexpected moments on audio unless you can run those apps all day. But then you have the problem of having to sift through a 12+ hour audio file just to find that 1 minute sound bite. What a hassle! But with AfterRecorder, you can run the app all day, but the audio file is created just for that one unexpected moment with none of the extra waste.

HOW TO USE:
--------
1. Turn the mic on by sliding the slider button to the "on" position. The app is now listening and storing the most recent audio into the temporary buffer. A status bar icon will appear indicating that the mic is on, listening, and running in the background.
2. When something happens that you want to keep, click the record button (red dot button). The audio stored in the buffer will then be transferred to a sound file on your phone. While the "REC" icon is glowing on the screen, the app will append additional audio to the sound file. The audio file will not yet be usable for listening as it is still open with the app adding additional audio to it received from the mic in real time. A statusbar icon with a red dot will appear indicating that audio is being recorded in real time to the audio file created on your phone's SD card.
3. To finalize the audio file and save it, click the record button again to turn it off. The audio file will be finalized and saved. A message "Audio file saved successfully" will appear on the screen indicating that it has been saved. The audio file will then be visible in the app's audio track library.
4. To record just the 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or what is stored in the buffer only, press the record button then quickly press it again to turn recording off(a double click). The audio stored in the buffer will be saved to your phone.

To Delete, Rename, or Share a recorded audio track, long press the track in AfterRecorder's track library screen.

Very useful app, only 1 small problem: Why do all changes to settings require a phone reboot? (If you don't reboot, the settings will merely look changed but the app will still use the old settings until next reboot.)

Worked once, and now that I turned recording off, the button to turn it back on doesn't work. Waste of 10 dollars.
