Inverurie, United Kingdom – Open Planet Software today is delighted to introduce Just Press Record (v3.0). Their popular recording and transcription app has been given a massive new update for iOS 11 and watchOS 4 and features a beautiful new look and powerful new capabilities.

The iOS 11 experience features a new Tab Bar for easier navigation. You can view your recent recordings in the Recents Tab, browse by date and time in the Browse Tab, search for recordings and transcriptions by keyword in the Search Tab and there’s even a dedicated Watch Tab for recordings made on Apple Watch! The iOS app also now offers the ability to pause and resume recordings, seek backwards and forwards during playback, adjust the playback speed to suit and share audio and text with one action.

With new capabilities in watchOS 4, we’ve been able to take our Apple Watch experience to a whole new level. The beautiful and responsive new interface sits on top of a powerful set of features for the new operating system. Now you can record discreetly in the background while you get on with other tasks. You can pause a recording with a single downward swipe and adjust the volume during playback with the Digital Crown. And Accessibility users have been made a priority, with improved support for VoiceOver, reduced motion and support for the extra large Complication template.

Just Press Record is the ultimate mobile audio recorder bringing one tap recording, transcription and iCloud syncing to all your devices.

Life is full of moments we would rather not forget – like your child’s first words, an important meeting or spontaneous idea. Capture these moments effortlessly on iPhone, iPad or for ultimate convenience, Apple Watch.
