Audidroid
A audio recorder for researchers
Audidroid serves researchers and scientists as a digital audio recorder for case studies. The focus lies on interviews and voice notes. Audidroid shines with features specifically designed for this use case. Other than the pure audio recording, you can also mark important positions while recording and edit files directly in the app.
Technical information for Audidroid can be found here, and a detailed overview of the requirements context can be found here. Initial mockups and requirements for the app can be found here, tests of comparable existing apps can be found here, and interviews with potential users can be found here.
