The app opened and displayed a "Save to this location" window.
I selected the Downloads folder, clicked the "New Folder" button and...the app froze.
I force quit and reopened. This time the "save to" dialog was not displayed. I went to the menu icon and chose Preferences>Save to this location. Again it froze when I clicked the "New Folder" button.
I went ahead and tried recording a phone call made through Google Hangouts in Safari.
When finished it asked for a save location, so I was able to choose a folder for that one file.
But it recorded NOTHING - just silence.
I record phone calls with Audio Hijack all the time, and am able to tell it WHAT to record.
To record calls in Safari I had to add GoogleTalkPlugin as the source.
Maybe the in-app or "external module purchases" would allow recording other sources, but I’m not about to pay to find out.
You get what you pay for.
Audio Hijack is expensive at $49, but it WORKS, and doesn’t require additional purchases.
