First, many thanks for providing the Boldbeast!

I am using the cloud backup (Google drive) and am having some issues:

1. The recordings are immediately synced to the cloud. However, when I am editing them later on (e.g. renaming) then the changes are not synced to the cloud. How can I do that?

2. It would be great if I could also rename voice memos (like I can with call recordings). Currently the notes are stored as txt, which is not very convenient. I would prefer if I could add some text to the file name itself.

Thanks and best, Christian

Every time after saving a new recording, if network is available the app starts uploading files that have not been uploaded.
If you change the file name it doesn't trigger the uploading action at once, instead the change will be synced next time when a new recording is saved.

Yes the note of the recording is saved in a text file with the same name as the recording, it seems good so far. Thank you for your suggestion, we'll consider it.

OK, thanks. This means that file name changes get synced, just not immediately but when a new recording is done. That is great!

The problem with a note text file is that its contents is not visible in the file system and hence you cannot really identify a recording by its note. I would prefer if I could rename also a voice memo (like I can with call recordings). Currently this is a inconsistency in your app. Hence also the files on the cloud looks different between voice memos and call recordings. You could add the timestamp at the end of the manually given name (as you do with call recordings). Also you can adapt the view in the app to be more similar between both.

So it would be great if you could fix that! I would then also buy the app :-)

Thanks and best, Christian
