Hi All,
I’ve been using Pocket for ~4 weeks now and have been very impressed. My only ‘complaint’ would be that there are too many options for formatting the notes, and I haven’t found the right fit for me yet.
Today, I experienced several issues and I hope to capture them in the same order they actually occurred.
09:30: I recorded my first meeting. As soon as I was done with this meeting I went right into my next meeting.
10:00: Meeting #2 was recorded.
10:30: I open the App to Sync meetings and the first thing I noticed was that there was an update available. No worries, I’ll download the update first and then I’ll sync the meetings next. No issues with the download, but as soon as I tried to sync the meetings, it was stuck on 0% for quite some time while using the WiFi Sync. After many minutes, I exited the Sync, and tried again, only this time I flipped my phone face down while I went for a coffee and completed a couple more tasks. Twenty minutes later I go to pick up my phone and the first thing I note is that my phone was HOT to the touch and the battery had dropped from 98% almost 50%. I noticed that the screen had not timed out and it was still open to the Pocket App, still with 0% status on my Sync.
11:00: My next meeting. I press the record button, felt the confirmation vibration and see the light turn from blue to yellow/green. About 15 minutes into the meeting, I noticed the light had turned back to blue, so I pressed the button again, felt the vibration and the indicator light changed again to yellow/green. After several more minutes, another check, and the light was blue again. I gave up on this meeting.
11:30: My last meeting ends early. Back to my office to try syncing all of these meetings again, only this time, I decided to do the Bluetooth Sync. Only this time, now I can see that there is only one 4 Second clip to be Synced. After three meetings, it only picked up a single 4 second clip. This is so disappointing.
12:00: Next meeting. This time I decide to record using the Record button in the App. This allows me to Name it and Sync right after I stop recording.
13:30: Same as the 12:00 meeting, I recorded from the App and was able to Rename the file and Sync right away.
For those keeping score, I only successfully Synced 3 of 5 meetings, which is not acceptable in my line of work (likely not your’s either). I’m wondering what caused my iPhone 16 ProMax to overheat and drain like it did (it’s never done this under any other scenario), and I’m disappointed with the Pocket and skeptical of using it moving forward.
Any feedback from anyone else about this would be appreciated.
