Not as described
They fail to mention that the purchase of one of their devices is necessary to use the app. Lame.
Additional device for call rec!
Where does it says that you need a special external device to record calls? Without it the app is useless.
I did not buy that additional crap so I could not even try the app.
Not recommending!!

Device purchase required
The app description didn’t mention that you have to buy a separate device in order to use the app. It’s very misleading.
Don't waste your time, app does not work
does not work
Bait n switch
After downloading THEN says you have to buy hardware to make work.

Hardware needed also!
I installed the app, and only when I tried to run it did it show me a photo of how to install a device into the headphone jack and use it with the software.
The app Description should make clear that this app is intended for use with hardware that must be acquired separately.

Not good enough
The app is really bad, does not even support Apple wireless AirPod, you need to constantly carry a headset with you. Not practical for impromptu call recording :(
Not trustworthy at this hefty price
I bought this device (photofast call recorder) to conduct interviews after watching its video on YouTube. The biggest flaws are:
(1) While recording if light of screen goes off (as usually people set time to 1 min auto-lock), the devise stops recording and sometimes files are saved automatically and sometimes not. When you will unlock phone again (while call is on) and go to the app, it is not recording anymore. Sometimes it allows that time to press “red circle” to start recording again but sometimes it shows message that device is not connected (even though device was connected because that’s why you started recording).
When light of screen is off while recording, sometimes the light on screen still blinks which gives an illusion that it is still recording. But when you unlock phone (while recording) and go to app it stops recording and sometimes it states displaying message that device is not connected.
So the advice is don't let screen go off while recording. For this you can change settings of display.
(2) I started listening previous recordings and app got crashed.
(3) I was recording and app got crashed. So recording was lost.
(4) This device works only with original Apple earphones. I tried original Samsung earphones and it didn’t work. But on the packing box it says that Apple original earphones are recommended for better recording. The reality is it doesn’t work with others.
(5) If this was designed for iPhones only then why they gave 3.5 mm jack. Because the future is not that for iPhones. This forced me to borrow earphones from friend. But I have to return those to him. So this is forcing me to spend another 25 quids to buy original Apple earphones though I have which I got with iphone 7.
In a nutshell, can’t trust.
The advantages:
(1) Voice is very clear in recordings.
(2) Very easy to use.
