Great Voice Recorder With Major Shortcomings

I initially purchased VR+ because it was the best reviewed iPhone recorder that records in MP3 files. As a recorder, the app functions wonderfully. Quality can be set, and even 64KBPS files sound great. However, the app has two major shortcomings, enough to warrant a two star deducation from the rating.

1) Categories are severely crippled - the app allows you to assign preset icons to recordings. However, those icons also function as categories. Categories should be allowed to be set using text, with icons being supplemental visual indicators of the recordings content. For example, presently, if I want to use a category for recording class sessions for my different classes, I have to use different icons that may or may not be relevant. If instead I could TYPE a category name and assign an icon to each recording, Id be able to organize recordings in a much more efficient way.

2) iTunes file export - as mentioned above, I use the app to record class lectures. This results in long files that are AT LEAST 20 MB in length. The current export options, via email or syncing online to VR+, are not efficient. It doesnt help that background uploading constantly pauses, and only resumes when the app is put back in focus. The ability to copy the files to a PC and email them directly from my email client would be much more efficient than having to wait for my phone to upload them.

Fix these two problems, and VR+ will be one of if not THE best voice recorder available for the iPhone.
