Many Issues with Android App

Wow, where do I begin?

Many people that listen to the recordings are happy with the sound, but recording them is a hassle. I rarely ever get it the first time. I usually need to record boos again due to app issues. Some of them are:

Unexpected stopping of the recording
Unexpected resuming of the recording after it stops
Crashes (albeit very few)
After stopping recording and resuming shortly after, it erases the recording and I'm forced to start all over again.

There are a few design issues that need addressing, such as:

Countdown timer is not needed (and certainly with the vibralert)
Buttons to preview recording are too small. Additionally, the volume slider is too small also and hard to move once it is at the full right position.

The first thing I noticed (and I'm sure it wasn't intentionally left out) is the abrupt stopping of the preview when the phone locks. When I unlock the screen, the app still is showing. However, when I resume the preview, the recording starts all over again without the ability to fast-forward to the part where the app stopped preview.

This app has great audio quality, but I would much rather see a app with function rather than eye candy. In as such, the fancy bar graph denoting sound input could be reduced to just a simple single bar meter. The battery usage is horrible because of the vibralert, so if I do more than a few of these between charges, the battery is nearly drained.
