    Looking for something inconspicuous, but sensitive enough to record meetings at work. This device merits on the first (inconspicuous); however, the quality of the recorded sound is not up to my needs.

    Works ok, I had high hopes for this to use in my child custody case. But it's super difficult to find the file you one it's loaded on, and you have to listen to each of the different messages to find the one you want

    Don’t waste your time or money if you want clear recordings. I have an older Olympus recorder that I paid half the cost of this one, and the older unit is 100 times better!

    My big fingers make it difficult to operate; however, a great piece of technology for the smaller handed person.

    Was wanting to use this under a under armor shirt at work to record my bully bosses but, it picks up your voice audio really well but not the other persons. Still looking for some.

    Kind of difficult to use. Sort of poorly built. Ended up changing it for the hand held Olympus recorder Thats easier to hold more like the rectangle shaped one.

    Worked fine to begin with, but after a couple of months, stopped working completely. A waste of $100 for me.
