A good voice-recorder app is essential for a journalist. I was loyal to Griffin iTalk until it stopped being supported, so I asked my colleagues at what they use. Some of the answers were surprising (the standard-issue Voice Memos on the iPhone), some led people to realize they'd been relying on the same-old app for years, and some caused people great distress ( was a favorite until its price hikes). Of course, you don't need to be a journalist to make use of voice-recording apps. They're useful for podcasters, students, private investigators, audio note takers, and sometimes just the plain paranoid. Yes, there are separate digital recorders, but why carry two gadgets when you already have all these options in the palm of your hand? HERE YOU CAN KNOW
