Night Sound Recorder - iOS iPhone, iPad - App Review

Ever wondered if you talk in your sleep? Why not set up your iPhone to record and find out what exactly goes on in your room while you're asleep!

I've tried out some different apps, but the one I like the best is Night Sound Recorder by Agir Media . 

Whether you want to hear if you talk in your sleep, snore or maybe even want to do some ghost hunting and try capturing some EVP's - Night Sound Recorder has you covered.

And no, Night Sound Recorder doesn't record the whole time you're asleep and give you a recording that goes for hours, the way it works is, the recorder starts when it senses ambient sounds and stops when the sounds do. So one session might have multiple short recording for you to review. 

Now it is a good idea to have your device plugged in and charging as running the app will drain some battery, even though it works with the device in standby mode.

Night Sound Recorder has some great customizable options including: 

- Number of Recordings: choose the number of recordings Night Sound Recorder should stop at. You can choose infinite or from the available options.

- Sound Level Sensitivity:

The most important feature and the one that makes this app great. Here you can choose just how sensitive you'd like the recorder to be. And it is sensitive! You can pick up slight sounds, like you rolling over in bed. Or if you only want loud sounds to record, slide the button to less. An ambient gauge shows you the live sound levels to help you decide your adjustment. 

Time Before Interruption:

When the background noise remains below the set sensitivity level the app stops recording.  You can set this time frame between 1 to 30 seconds. 

Once a session is over, all the nights recording can be found in the 'Archives'. Here you have each recording by date and time. You can play the clip, rename, delete, email or save and retrieve them through iTunes. Saved recordings are in WAV format. 

And all of this, by the way, is free! Such a great app, works really well, only problem I've noticed is it can have some recording of just noise. Not sure if it's the sensitivity level or a recording timing issue - but other apps I tried, even with sound sensitivity set to high, didn't record a thing. So at least this one records! But with Night Sound Recorder I could pick up every sound in my room! - No ghosts detected ...yet.  

Night Sound Recorder is free and available for iOS (designed for iPhone and iPad).
