Reverse Audio review
A mobile clip editor for reversed audio and character-style voice effects.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Reverse Audio turns recorded clips into backward playback and voice effects on iPhone and Android. Users can record audio or import a file, then apply presets including Demon, Chipmunk, Helium, Giant, Robot, Echo and Underwater. Custom pitch and speed controls add room to shape a clip beyond the presets. It suits people looking for straightforward mobile transformations for saved audio, rather than a voice changer that alters speech during a live conversation.
The workflow centers on listening and adjusting: waveform scrubbing helps navigate a recording, and original/reversed A/B comparison makes it possible to compare the transformation with the source. Finished recordings can be saved and shared. Processing takes place on the device, and the app does not require an account. These features make the app a focused fit for short creative edits, reactions or playful voice effects. It is less suited to workflows that depend on live microphone output or a virtual microphone, which are not among its described capabilities.
Reverse Audio has a free plan and three premium options: Weekly Premium, Annual Premium and Lifetime Plan. Each unlocks voice presets and effects; the Lifetime Plan is described as a one-time purchase. The published plan information does not provide enough detail here to compare the paid options beyond their names and stated benefits. Choose it if mobile recording, reversal and effect-based clip transformations are the goal. Choose another type of tool if real-time voice changing is essential, or if the workflow requires a verified audio-file export feature.
