The device itself is very easy to operate and the included USB is SO handy! I have amassed a ridiculous amount of USB cords to various tech items, so I love that I don't have another one to add to the pile. Creating and managing your recordings is super easy, and you even have "folders" to separate the recordings into, which is very helpful if you are taking several classes in a day or are sitting in on various meetings/conferences and you would like that extra organization. So whichever folder you began recording in is the same folder that it is kept in when you upload the recordings onto your computer.
The recorder also has a small retractable prop sort of thing that allows you to prop the recorder off of the desk/table at a slight angle.
AND if you aren't interested in keeping your recordings for very long, there is an aux input so you can relisten to the recordings as well as a speaker. Erasing old recordings is simple as well, as it allows you to decide to delete a specific recording or all of the recordings within a specific "folder"
Top reviews from other countries
For those that are considering this vs their phone, get this! It is so much easier just to turn on and record, rather than unlock->go to app-> fiddle. The battery lasts way longer than a phone and it has no internet so you can be sure Google or Apple aren't listening. It can be brought into the field (say for field biology work) and used on a full battery for weeks, and you don't need to worry about recharging. If you record voice all the time (like for interviews), this blows any phone away.
It has an expansion slot but I have not needed to use it yet as 32GB stores around 67hrs of audio at 128kbps, even more if you put it on the lower quality setting.
