This is an excerpt from a great E-mail Terrie A sent to another list.  Two 
really fun free apps for the IPhone.  I am dying to try out the recording app 
myself, and the game as well.  Jim, any thoughts on Quickvoice?

What's New in Version 2.5.3

Added Multitasking - Record while using other apps.
Fixed a crash bug when rotating iPad sideways.

Version2.5.3Free or PaidFreeCompatibilityThis is a universal app,
so works natively on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPadDevice(s) App
Was Tested OniPhone 4Accessibility CommentsAll buttons are
clearly labeled.  When you record it does not make any noise to
indicate that it is recording.  The screen will appear to have
frozen up until you double tap to stop the recording.  Your
recording do not show up other than a voice over saying click,
click, click and click when I swipe to the right when it is focus
in the center of the screen.
VoiceOver PerformanceVoiceOver reads a few page elements.Button
LabellingAll buttons are clearly labelled.UsabilityThere are some
accessibility issues with this app, but it can still be used if
you are willing to tolerate these issues and learn how to work
around them.
Other CommentsBit of an odd app to use.  It works
pretty well from what it advertised.  When you tap to record it
will appear that the app has locked up but indeed it is
recording.  There will be absolutely no noise if you swipe to the
left or right when it is in the recording mode.  Just simply
double tap to stop the recording and everything is back to
normal.  Each time you record it will make a new file and do your
recording.  Got a bit confused at first only to realize that
toward the center of the screen are the list of your recordings.
They will only have the voice over saying "click" for each
recording you have made.  So it does not read the file name what
so ever.  It is a free app.  There are no time limitations.

Description of AppThe Things That Go Bump In The Night - a text
adventure written by Tim Hamilton.
Night  security! How did you end up with this nine dollar an hour
job.  Oh well  at least you don't have to work that hard.  In fact,
this job is  actually quite boring.  Watching security cameras and
sometimes pressing a  button to open a gate or two.  You settle
into your chair in the  security office and settle down with a
book.  After several hours you  look up from your book and think
it's been really quiet tonight.  In fact  you don't think you have
heard any chatter on the radio for quite some  time.  And, come to
think of it, there has been no activity on the  cameras either.
Hmmm, that's odd.  Usually there are forklifts running  around and
people passing by.  You decide to put the book away and scan  the
cameras more closely to see if there is anything going on...
