Other recording apps

There are many free and paid recorders in the AppStore. Most lack features to listen and shuffle the recordings.
The Recorder for Recording and Listening is made for recording and listening practice, where you record often short recordings and listen them on shuffle.
Other apps are more suitable for long recordings, that can be named by topic and would not make sense to play on shuffle.
It's perfectly fine to use multiple recording apps on the phone one for each purpose.
