- ✏️Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder: new screenshots8 screenshots (was 8) · IN
- 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder updated to version 5.0.0Tape It now runs natively on iPad and iPhone Duo, and on the Mac in a window you can resize. On a large screen, All Tapes and Mixtapes show the playing tape right beside the list, and the tabs sit in a narrow bar on the left. On the outer display of iPhone Duo, the tabs and the Back and menu buttons sit on the right side, under the status bar, like in Apple's apps, which leaves more room for your tapes.
And some small improvements:
• Mixtapes now have a search bar, just like All Tapes: pull down on a mixtape to find a tape by its name, date, instrument, location or notes.
• Search now shows results as you type, in All Tapes, Favorites and mixtapes. When you add a tape to a mixtape, you can also search your mixtapes by name.
• Syncing many small changes at once, such as the labels this update adds to every tape, is now much faster: they go to the server in batches instead of one by one.
• While recording, the waveform now stays at the right edge of the screen after you pause and continue.
• The playhead no longer slips under the duration at the end of a waveform line.
• In Help, the Media Center and Music and Speech pages now show their own titles instead of "Touch and Hold to Open".
• On iOS 26 and later, the menu and Help show only their close and back buttons at the top, so you see more of them.
• If a recording's file got damaged, for example because the phone ran out of space while saving it, Tape It now repairs it. A damaged recording can no longer keep your library from loading with "Processing cancelled".
• All Tapes now says "Uploading" only while a recording is on its way to the server. When Tape It syncs a rename, or a detail an update fills in for every tape, the list says "Synchronizing" instead, with no count, and only once it takes a moment.
• Opening an audio file in Tape It from Files no longer leaves an extra copy of it behind.
• Improved stability.… more - 📈Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder entered the top 100Top Grossing · Music · RU

- 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder updated to version 4.5.4Tape It now records in higher quality in the standard (AAC) format: 256 kbit/s in stereo and 128 kbit/s in mono, twice the previous bit rate. New recordings take up about 1 to 2 MB per minute. Lossless recording is unchanged.
Recording from a USB audio interface at a sample rate above 48 kHz no longer fails when AAC is selected. AAC only goes up to 48 kHz, so choosing a higher sample rate now switches to lossless. Imported files above 48 kHz are saved lossless as well.
With repeat on, a tape now keeps looping while you edit it, for example while you type its notes.
On a trimmed tape, dragging the playhead past the end marker now plays the trimmed end, just like dragging it before the start marker plays the trimmed start, instead of skipping to the next tape.
Exporting a long tape as MP3 is now several times faster. On iOS 26, MP3 and WAV exports also keep going when you lock your phone or switch to another app. While exporting, the Share button shows the progress, and VoiceOver reads it out. Tap the progress circle to stop the export. If an export is still interrupted, Tape It now tells you why.
USB-C EarPods and USB-C headphone adapters, such as Belkin's, are now treated as headphones instead of a USB audio interface: you can choose between the headset mic and the iPhone mic, just like with Lightning EarPods.
Tape It now shows your stereo setting for the built-in mics right away when it opens, instead of showing mono for a few seconds.
USB audio interfaces now keep their selected input channels and sample rate when you reopen Tape It or reconnect them.
If a recording can't use your saved settings, for example stereo or an interface's channels or sample rate, Tape It still starts it with what works and tells you what changed.
With the Bluetooth mic turned on, the record screen now shows the Bluetooth device you'll record with, instead of the built-in mics.
Your stereo and lossless choices are now kept if your subscription ends, and come back when you subscribe again.
Apart from that, this update improves the stability of the app.… more - 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder updated to version 4.5.3Deleted tapes now go to Recently Deleted, at the bottom of your mixtapes, where you can restore them for 30 days before they're deleted for good. Since you can always bring a tape back, deleting one no longer asks first.
Deleting the tape that's playing, in a list or in the tape view, now goes on to the next tape, and skipping back no longer brings the deleted tape back.
Voice memos recorded with older iOS versions, which store their recording date differently, are now imported with that date instead of the day they were copied to your phone.
Importing several files with the same name, for example dragging them onto Tape It on your Mac, now imports all of them instead of only the first.
This update also fixes several rare bugs, among them live updates that could stop after a brief network hiccup until you restarted the app.… more - 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder updated to version 4.5.2Small update with big improvements:
- All Tapes now opens instantly, even with thousands of tapes, and stays smooth while your tapes sync.
- Markers that are close together no longer overlap in the waveform. Their names move aside or stack underneath each other, so you can always read them in full, even at the edges of the screen.
- Playback is now gapless: Repeat loops right from the end marker back to the start marker, so you can play along with a loop, and one tape goes straight into the next.
- Starting with iOS 27, start, end and other markers snap to the nearest beat when you set them in music, so trims land right on the beat.
- The Mixtapes section of a tape now has an "Add to mixtape" button, and tapping a mixtape there opens it.… more - 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder: now updating weekly4 updates in 30 days, after a quiet two months

- Add photos to a tape from your photo library, not just from the camera
- When a tape is playing, a button in the tape list takes you straight to it
This update also fixes a few bugs: a new marker with a name is saved again, setting an end marker while a tape plays no longer skips to the next tape, and the play button no longer shows paused while a tape repeats.… more - 📈Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder entered the top 100Top Grossing · Music · AE

- 📦Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder version 4.4.1A lot of improvements on the audio settings:
- Monitor your input audio while recording on wired connections (on Bluetooth, the latency is too high for that to make sense)
- Previously, when using a Bluetooth headset, Tape It would always use the built-in iPhone mics because they sound better. That's still the default, but you can now explicitly choose to use your headset's mics instead
- Choose the sample rate for USB audio interfaces
This update also fixes a bug that would prevent synchronization in an edge case.… more - 🆕Tape It - Pro Audio Recorder released on the App Store

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
