FiRe audio recording app

One of FiRe's coolest tricks, though, is its ability to upload recordings directly to the online audio hosting service SoundCloud. Once a recording is uploaded, you can publicly share and embed the audio just like any other SoundCloud recording, or download the original file to your computer at a later time. It's a nifty trick, and the FiRe app is the first to pull it off.
