Great way to easily share family history I wish I had started using this earlier, because it’s so easy to archive recordings to the cloud.
Lost the only recording of my grandfather 8 years ago, I recorded the only interview of my grandfather in the StoryCorp app. My whole family was there and listened with excitement, knowing that we’d be able to come back to this memory for decades. I logged in for the first time since the recording only to find that StoryCorps had not preserved the audio file properly. It’s completely ruined, just playing a snippet like a broken record. I can’t believe this app failed to do the one thing it was supposed to do. Unbelievable. Heartbreaking. I’d give this 0 stars if I could.
Perfect for recording or listening to great stories! I love listening to the amazing stories that are available on this app and I love that I can interview my loved ones and add those stories to the collection!
Great App to Record and Save Stories This app is a great way to record the stories of my family and friends. I love that they can share their histories and will be saved for future generations.
More people should know about this app I used the app to record with family members. It’s moving to know my great great grandkids will be able to hear my conversation with my grandmother. Thanks StoryCorps!
Amazing and helpful I used StoryCorps to record an interview with my grandma at least 5 years ago, but neglected to publish or download it. Now that she’s no longer coherent, I went to look for it and couldn’t find it after the latest update. The customer service team was SO HELPFUL and figured out how to access it on my device when I had given up all hope, and now I have an incredible memory of my grandma that my whole family can love and appreciate. So thankful for the help from this team, and for their love of stories. It means everything.
Bad app that doesn’t really work Recorded an interview and tried to upload it and it just kept pulling up an error saying try again later (i did and it still didn’t work). Tried to go on the website on my pc to upload it and the website isn’t even capable of letting me log in, it just says “checking if the site connection is secure” forever.

A Lasting Shot This was an extraordinary episode, truly. The music, the stories, the post event, and his speech in Capetown…this episode took my breath away and brought me to tears. Thank you so very much for your work, and for continuing to honor individuals’ stories. Our story is our legacy.
RIP my interview So StoryCorps is like, inherently not a bad idea, but the app is just horrendous. It’s incredibly buggy and deleted my recording once it froze on my “Publish” page and then proceeded to crash and my entire recording was gone. It was a 10 minute interview and the said person I was talking to has a 12-hour time difference and it was incredibly irritating that the interview was deleted. Even if it didn't do that however, it in general was just a very buggy app. The Redo Recording button didn’t work unless I went off the app and reset it, but also the buttons just took years to register. Great idea, terrible app for doing so though. It can use many improvements.

A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
