If you are looking for a way to record audio with your iPhone that allows you to download your recordings to your computer via wi-fi without having to install any icky third-party apps then the Recorder app is for you. This app uses the built in mic within your iPhone to record ambient sounds and features realtime audio level monotoring. Recorder uses proprietary outgoing mail servers so the emailing of your audio notes is rather cumbersome and I could not get it to work. The selling point for me was being able to copy notes to my computer without having to install any third party apps on my Mac. The wi-fi sync works great and I’ve already used this app to record sounds and copy them to my Mac and make new custom ringtones with the sounds I’ve recorded in Garageband. To transfer your recordings to your computer just connect your iPhone to your wireless network and open Recorder app. Enable wi-fi sync and Recorder tells you what IP address to access in your web browser on your Mac or PC and from there you can save your recordings which are encoded in .AIFF format. Features I would like to see added would be the capability to pause recordings so that stopping a recording would not create a new memo every time you want to pause. This app is well worth the 99 cents and is available now from the App Store.
