Hold SAY. Say something stupid. Hit PLAY.
If it isn't doing that, here's what's usually wrong.
The app needs the microphone. Open Settings → YaK bAK! and switch Microphone on. If you tapped "Don't Allow" the first time, that's the only place to change it.
That's the toy. Every unit has a short, hard recording limit and it stops dead when it gets there — the real ones did exactly this. The limit isn't the same on every unit, so try a different one if you need a little longer.
Nowhere. There's one recording at a time and the next one replaces it, the same way a tape gets recorded over. Nothing is saved between sessions and there's no export — that's how the toy worked, and it's how this works.
Check the silent switch and the volume. If your phone is connected to headphones or a speaker, playback follows wherever the audio is going.
Correct. That's the entire point — the hiss, the pumping and the tiny speaker are modelled deliberately. If it sounded clean, something would be wrong.
Try deleting the app and installing it again. If that doesn't fix it, email me below and say which unit and which iPhone — it helps a lot.
Email me. A real person reads it.
