The Loop isn’t really an app or product review site. But occasionally, I run across a product that really clicks for me, enough so that I feel the need to share.

Just Press Record just hit version 2.0, and with this new version has really hit its stride. With versions for the Mac ($4.99) and iOS ($2.99), Just Press Record lets you quickly record messages for later retrieval.

Recording is one-tap simple (with widgets for the lock screen and notifications center), you get easily sharable speech to text transcriptions of your recordings, you can search your transcripts and, best of all, recordings are iCloud shareable across all your devices.

Fantastic.
