Rewound

Help & frequently asked questions

What the app does

Rewound records a sound and plays it backwards. It also has the reverse singing game: copy a phrase played backwards, and Rewound flips your attempt back and shows how close it sounds to the original.

Getting started

  1. Record. On the Record tab tap the big microphone button, say something, and tap it again to stop. The first time, iOS asks for the microphone.
  2. Play it backwards. The recording opens with Reversed selected. Tap the round play button. Tap or drag on the waveform to jump; choose Forward to hear it as recorded.
  3. Play the game. On the Game tab: say a short phrase, listen to it backwards, tap Copy it and record yourself making that backwards sound. Rewound reverses your attempt and plays it next to the original with a score out of 100. Save round keeps it in the Library.

Questions

The record button does nothing / "Microphone is off"

Rewound was not allowed to use the microphone. Open the iPhone Settings › Rewound and turn on Microphone. The microphone is only used while you are recording.

Why did my recording stop at 15 seconds?

Free recordings are up to 15 seconds. Pro records up to 5 minutes.

How is the game scored?

Rewound compares the rhythm (how loud each moment is) and the brightness (hissy sounds versus vowels) of the original phrase and your reversed attempt, on your device. Speaking a little faster or slower is not punished. It is a party score for fun, not a measurement of singing.

Tips for a better score

Choose a short phrase of two to four words, listen to the backwards version a few times, and copy the syllables in the same order and rhythm. A quiet room helps.

Where are my recordings?

In the Library tab. Swipe a row to delete it; touch and hold to rename. Settings has Delete all recordings.

Can I use a song or a video?

With Pro: on the Record tab tap Import and choose Audio from Files or Sound of a video (from your photo library). Up to 5 minutes are imported. Only use sounds you have the right to use.

Speed, pitch, loop, trim and export

With Pro, a recording's Effects change the speed (0.5× to 2×) and the pitch (up to 12 semitones up or down). Loop repeats the stretch between the two handles on the waveform; Trim keeps only that stretch. The share icon exports the reversed or forward sound as m4a (small file) or wav (lossless), with your speed and pitch.

What is free, and what is Pro?

Free: recordings up to 15 seconds, reversed and forward playback, the reverse singing game, and up to 5 recordings and rounds in the library. Pro is a one-time in-app purchase that adds 5-minute recordings, an unlimited library, import from Files and from videos, speed and pitch, loop and trim, and export. There are no ads and no subscription.

I paid but it is still locked

Open Settings (the gear) and tap Restore Purchase, signed in with the Apple Account you bought with.

Can I get a refund?

Refunds are handled by Apple: reportaproblem.apple.com.

What data is collected?

None. There is no account and no ads, and the app does not use the network apart from the App Store for the purchase. Your recordings stay inside the app on your device; deleting the app deletes them. A sound leaves your device only when you export it yourself through the share sheet. See the Privacy Policy.
