PlayButton is a simple app that provides the most minimal record and playback experience possible. One record button, one play button, and one sound at a time. If you need a quick way to record a sound and play it back, it doesn't get simpler than this. Used in therapy for special needs students who have physical problems with pressing small buttons, this app allows the user to participate with their sound. For additional control over the interface a "lock" functionality is available from the device's Settings that allows a recorded sound to be locked, removing the record buttons until the app is unlocked. If you choose to support PlayButton through a small in-app annual subscription, the Terms of Service are governed by Apple's standard terms, as specified here: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Thanks again! 2.0.1 03/05/2024 This version is a complete rewrite in SwiftUI to make it easier to maintain on modern devices. All previous bugs are gone and replaced with completely new ones! If you have any trouble reach out to the support email and let us know. That also means that the new minimum iOS version is iOS 15.0. This version contains the following functional changes: • Dark mode now looks good • Slightly higher audio quality • Intro sound added until you record your first sound (English) • Added ability to optionally support PlayButton's development and maintenance for only $5/year (or local equivalent). 2.0 02/20/2024 Updated for iOS 12+ compatibility. Unfortunately, that means some very old devices may no longer with newer versions. However, there is no new functionality in this release, and version 1.1 should continue to function on older devices indefinitely. 1.2 06/09/2021 This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included. • Updated for 64-bit and iOS 10 • Bug fixes 1.1 04/10/2017 * Fixed bug where buttons could become unresponsive * Updated for iPhone 5 * Sharper Retina images, especially on the new iPad 1.0.5 10/19/2012 * Stop recording when app enters background instead of recording hours of silence... * Handle very low memory situations more gracefully 1.0.4 10/31/2011 * Fixed bug that disabled playback if button was pressed during playback. * Localizations 1.0.3 10/25/2011 * On iPhone 4, plays through the (loud) lower speaker instead of the ear piece. * Record buttons can now be held instead of just tapped. Tapping a record button toggles it, while holding it down records until release. 1.0.2 10/18/2011 1.0 10/14/2011
