The audio recorder can be started in two different ways. From the main screen, hold the iPhone close to your face. The proximity sensor will start the app recording. When you're finished, move the iPhone from your face. The recording will end and the memo will be saved with the Default Date/Time setting. Note that this method is only available from the main screen.
The second method is to touch the the microphone icon on the main screen. See Step 2 below.
When the microphone icon is touched on main screen, the app will start recording. The screen will change to the one shown at the right. When you're finished recording, touch the Done button. You will then see the screen shown in Step 3. Touching the Cancel button will end the recording and the message will not be saved.
After you've ended the recording, the screen shown at the right will appear. This is used to select an alarm date and time. It provides two methods. The first is to use the Date/Time picker to select the date and time for the alarm. You are not allowed to set a time in the past. The Repeat Interval selection sets if and when the alarm will repeat. Once means it will occur only once at the date and time selected. The other choices mean the alarm will repeat at either daily, weekly, or monthly intervals after the first alarm occurs. When the settings are correct, touch the Done button to save the memo with the alarm time and repeat interval.
The other method of setting an alarm is to touch one of the four preset alarm times. The next alarm date and time is shown in each preset button. These are set by the user in the Settings screen. The presets do not have a specific initial alarm date, only a time. The alarm date is calculated by adding the repeat interval value to the current day (zero for Once, 1 day for Daily, 7 days for Weekly, and 1 month for Monthly). The alarm time is set to the time picker value. The one exception is if the repeat interval is Once and the current time is after the alarm time. In that case the alarm day is set to the next day. There is no indication on the preset buttons if the alarm is repeating or what the repeat interval is.
