Even if someone touches your iPhone while it’s recording to “awaken” the screen, they’ll immediately be prompted to input your security code.

Pros and cons of Top Secret Audio Recorder app for iPhone and iPad

Top Secret Audio Recorder app good for

Works exactly as expected. Very reliable. The app is very simple to set up but of course you need to configure your router, firewall, port forwarding, reverse dns, etc depending on your network.
Just added this to my iPod. I am wanting a place that I can record my thoughts, feelings, rants, and just about anything that I want to keep private. Love the fact that it is passworded!! Just wish that I could transfer what I have recorded in the basic voice memo over to this app!! Is this possible??? Would love to get that stuff behind a password, just in case!!!!;) lol!
Like that it hides the name of the app (only shows TSA) on the lock screen while running. Voices are clear if they are close to the phone. Wish it picked up distance better.
Works great, only thing is that sound activation ONLY works in the scheduled recording mode. If the recording is instead started by tapping on the screen , then it wont care about silences and will go on recording until stopped by a second tap. This could be clarified better in the app description or in help section. Sound audio quality is somewhat less brilliant than the voice memo app that comes with the iphone. Some room for improvement but great app overall, hence the 4 stars.
This app is great and secretive and it even records audio when the lock screen is up so you can record and no one will know and the full version is only $0.99
I find it handy cause i have short term memory loss so it helps me remember things i need to do etc...

Some bad moments

Could not get it to go into sleep mode with a Scheduled Recording. I deleted the app an reinstalled like suggested and I was charged for the app AGAIN!!! Sent a help request. Waiting for a reply (or refund). Will keep you posted.
When you select to hide the menu, it is supposed to appear when you tap the bottom of the screen. This does not work, so now Im left with a useless app where I cant access anything
Does not work. It shows recording in progress but records "0 second" files. Im running it on a 6s with updated software as of the date of this review.
This app only works the way its supposed to for iOS 6 and earlier. Of course they dont tell you that! They are much worse than that too. They posted a work around for users of newer OS users to use which costs $40 bucks and didnt even check to see if it actually worked first! IT DOESNT!!!! Pretty crappy business people. Un-happy customer (who wasted a bunch of time and $40 bucks)
Can make case be tossed out of court! My atty said use this then I did I looked bad no matter what it said! I spied and they said I harassed her! Dont use it for custody it isnt worth it! I was almost fine for not telling her I recorded her!
Totally unreliable, works sometimes, doesnt work other times. Dont waste your money.
