Audibase from Sobytes; the new Iphone app that is changing the way we share information. Think Instagram, but with sound instead of photos and minus the incessant pictures of food.

Setting up on the Audibase network is insanely easy. The layout is so simple and straightforward that even someone as technology challenged as I am won’t have any difficulty in doing so, and for those who are worse than me, or have been living in a cave and missed the dawning of the smart phone era, there are a variety of you-tube videos to guide you step by step through any issues you may have.

With up to two hours of recording time Audibase is the perfect way to keep on top of discussions that have taken place in meetings or lectures. I highly doubt that I’m the only one thanking the higher powers profusely for the creation of an app like this. Gone are the days where assignments or work have been effected by Monday Morning Syndrome; where picking up a pen to take notes is an effort of Mount Everest proportions.

Audibase enables people to record an entire lecture or meeting, and for reasons other than general laziness. In a recording, a person won’t miss any details that they might have had they not been using the app. Audibase also allows you to set action points during the recording at anything you thought was particularly interesting or important, making your work easier over-all.

In a society where news travels fast, becomes old even faster and no-one leaves home without their phone, this app is an essential tool for people either in the media industry or those who are trying to break into it. The recordings are done in mp4 format which makes the uploading process is quick and simple, and with the ability to easily edit the recording on your phone there’s no need for a computer, saving you time and getting your audio file up online as soon as you want.

This app is also ideal for artists, such as musicians or writers who want to showcase their work. By posting a recording of a set or reading and sharing it on the Audibase network, Twitter or Facebook, they could generate a great deal of attention and followers than they would had they just used one social network.

Recording through the Audibase app is simple as the buttons are large and clear, and recordings are easily saved to the albums of your online account where you then have the option of sharing them immediately via social networks, email and text. The online streams that are posted by others can even be downloaded and saved to your phone so that they can be listened to even without an internet connection, giving you unlimited access to what interests you.

The over-all view of the Audibase app is that it is simple yet modern. It is effective in making some aspects of everyday life much less complicated and offering us unlimited access to events in society as and when they happen. It helps spread recognition, will undoubtedly become indispensable to people in academic or business environments, and is full of interesting streams, all contained in one small device that most people find is glued to their hands.
