Great to know — thanks for the info. We got a sharp rise in feedback when we were using this in our app, but like you say, it's probably to some extent dependent on the particular app.

We only upload files that are at least two seconds long to prevent exactly this problem.

We're also working on offering transcription, so the devs can pick whether they want audio or text.

From our pseudo-scientific testing, we got ~5x voice feedback over email feedback. We're still early in the process, so we don't have any rock-solid numbers. One advantage we found from spoken feedback is that on mobile, people te

Good point! We've thought about showing time before, but levels would definitely help too.

The files are stored in S3 so you don't have to worry about running out of space while recording. Delete is in the works :)

I'm actually not sure. Is there a place in the app distribution settings to allow / deny specific device sizes?
