### 4/5 — First call

*2024-02-15*

This app is new to me. My first call went very well. I’m sure there are nuances I will discover…. such as tapping the home button? Curious about the reason for this🙂, and I’m sure it’s straightforward. The synopsis  is, I followed “CR’s” direction upon receiving a call. After connecting to “CR’s” number, I received a loud confirmation I had connected. 
After merging the three numbers, I apologized to my caller briefly, mentioning how my memory recall wasn’t what it use to be. I didn’t know if she heard, the loud confirmation, or not. 
Also, I didn’t know if the quality of recorded sound would be understandable throughout the conversation. So, I still took notes. However, everything worked out great. The recording reminded me of listening to a Cassette player. 
I had asked a few questions,  and received an abundance of information. It will be so nice next time to relax during a call, without incessantly “writing to remember!” Thank you for this resourceful tool.

### 4/5 — Efficient and easy

*2023-01-16*

Use this every week

### 5/5 — Good app

*2022-11-27*

I purchased this app & experimenting with it. So far so good!

### 4/5 — It's the bomb!!!

*2022-11-16, version 1.7*

I love it!!! Works perfectly!!! Used it to catch my girl & a few others in straight out lies!!! Thank you for creating this app!!! My only complaints are I wish that instead of having to merge the calls the way that you have to, that you could just tap the button to make them connect instantly like on other versions & that it would connect quicker, like as soon as it starts dialing the number before they answer. The King 👑⚡️

### 5/5 — Very good

*2022-09-08*

I bought some credit few years ago and still on my account, easy to use and record

### 5/5 — The BEST Recording APP!

*2022-05-10, version 1.7*

I’ve had this app since 2016. It’s honestly one of the best apps. No hidden fees, no extra fees. Most importantly, compared to other apps, this one is not expensive and legit. Easy to use, records clearly and perfect, I have conversations saved from 2016 still. I never write reviews, but really feel that this app deserves a review. It’s awesome and I highly recommend it, super legit!

### 5/5 — Sounds great

*2022-04-23, version 1.7*

I hadn’t used this app in a while. I bought credits years ago and they sat for years. I now need to record calls and the sound has gotten much better. The app has also saved my recordings from years ago. I can’t remember how much I paid for the credits, but it must not have been that much or else I wouldn’t have bought them. Thanks for a great recorder.

### 5/5 — Haha

### 5/5 — General Maximus

*2022-02-05, version 1.7*

Simple to use and for the most basic functions like just recording the calls normally which is the primary purpose it actually is free unlike the 10 other apps I tried. Just be mindful I believe there is a 5 hour limit to recordings before u have to pay. 5 hours is way more than I need

### 5/5 — New User

This is a great app. Easy to use. Love it!!

### 5/5 — THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MY GRANDMOTHER’S VOICE

*2021-12-15, version 1.7*

7 years later and I still have access to a quality, hour-long audio recording of a phone call with my grandmother who has been passed away for several years now. This recording will be precious and valuable to many of my family members! I’m so impressed and thankful that I haven't lost access to a recording from that long ago on a free downloaded app. I’m a big fan!

Very useful

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2021-09-28, version 1.7*

It’s such a relief to have an app that can record phone calls that are very important to replay and or share with others later. Not only calls I dial but also incoming calls can be merged to be recorded. They even save my recorded calls for up to one year!. Awesome application!! I haven’t had one single dropped call or error dialing through this app. Perfectly clear  recorded calls on an easy to navigate app makes my life so much more convenient than before. If you don’t have this app: get it! Definitely a great invention🙂

### 5/5 — Love!

*2021-09-27, version 1.7*

Good sound quality. Buy credits and use only what you need. No subscription. What you don’t use stays in your account in the app foreverUntil you use it. Top off as needed. Have to figure out how to start recording, either during a call or before making a call. A little confusing to figure out at first. Easy to forget if you haven’t used the feature in a while. Great app Once you get the hang of that, in terms of sound quality and ability to store credits.

### 2/5 — Would be great if it didn’t drop calls

*2021-09-05, version 1.7*

I paid for 5 hours of recording… this app records with great sound and all of that, but it randomly hangs up during the call with no warning. The last 3 calls it hung up at exactly 3:01 minutes in. I’ve used it about 7 times total, and it hasn’t recorded an entire phone call even once. The longest it recorded was 9 minutes, and the actual phone call was 20 minutes. Really disappointed bc I need to keep my voice convos for court records. Find a different app if you really need it to work 100%

### 5/5 — So thankful for this app!!

*2021-08-30, version 1.7*

I used this app many years ago to record phone calls with my grandmother as we talked about her photo albums. I am so grateful for this app and that years later my files are still saved here. It’s super easy to use and very simple to share the files to yourself. In my case, I could just airdrop them to my Mac! Perfect. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2021-08-23*

I’ve only used it on a test call but it worked get!!

### 1/5 — Scam - don’t waste your time

*2024-05-15*

Unless you’re willing to pay $$ that is. Surprise surprise yet another app advertised as free that really is not. I recorded a phone call that was two hours long. I thought all went well. Finally a free version that was easy enough to use, or so I thought. It assigns you a phone number you 3 way conference call in addition to the phone number line you want recorded. But when it was time to listen to my recording.. it starts off fine just playing music as I was on hold a very long time. Then at the 60 second mark a pop up on screen holding my recording ransom. Demanding I pay now if I want access to the full recording. Scammy tactics. Also they have obvious fake reviews so that tells you what kind of company they are

### 1/5 — Scam

*2022-12-01*

You go to press the big red record button and it asks you to all of a sudden dial a number from England so I tried it with a friend of mine and the number that was dialled from England shows up as a English number so who you’re trying to record and they ask you what’s weird about your number well you’ve just been busted

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE….TERRIBLE…DO NOT GET!!!!

*2022-07-10, version 1.7*

This is the worst app ever and I really needed it for evidence in a custody case and it ended up hurting me because it did not pick up the recordings and yes, I used it right. I know I used it right because I did it the same way each time and it picked it up one time out of the 8 times I have tried to use it and that means they have charged me for it because I paid for the credits to be able to listen to the whole thing but instead I get nothing.  I would not get this app if you really need evidence on someone. I am now trying to find a different app so that way I can finally get what I need.  This is insane and they should refund my money at this point.  Truly disappointed that they would put something like this on the market when people need something reliable.  You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!

### 1/5 — surprise you with a pop up for 9.99 to listen to the rest of your recording

*2021-03-09, version 1.7*

I downloaded this app with intentions to try it out and see what I think. I was having a pretty serious conversation I needed to have document of so I thoughtThis will be the perfect time to try out the recording app I just downloaded. So I read the instructions press the record button it has me calling number then I called the other party and merge the calls. Yes it does involve a little bit of work but it wasn’t that bad I thought it was going pretty good , I hang up went back into the app to play my recording after a minute goes by a pop up saying upgrade for 9.99 ! Absolutely sneaky all this says about the developer is DISHONEST. Yes that’s a way to make someone pay you but it’s not right. Don’t download this app find another recording app that won’t lowball you.

### 1/5 — Never Used

*2021-01-21*

I never used and only downloaded app and is already asking me to purchase upgrade/credits. This is the worst app ever.

### 1/5 — Keep looking Hidden Fees - Credit Needed

*2021-01-15, version 1.7*

In any part tells you that you need to purchase credits (1 per recorded minute = $2 + tax per 1hr) in addition to the $9.99 + tax to unlock the recorded listening time. Lastly, you also have to pay extra for the recoding transcript $4 + tax per 2 minutes of recording was what I paid. 
At the end, all adds up and ended up being too expensive; keep looking, you are better with other app that doesn’t have hidden fees, unlimited recording time and the transcript are included and instantaneous (I have to wait for the transcript).

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-10-19*

All numbers have error codes come up when dialed or merged. Garbage app

### 1/5 — I have access to other people’s saved calls.

*2020-09-14*

The person who last had my phone number must of had the app and now I have access to all of their saved calls including conversions with their bank. 
If I was a criminal I could easily use this to my advantage.

### 1/5 — Not working properly

*2020-05-31, version 1.7*

Well since I can’t get an email address to send my complaint to them so they can can fix this problem which is the app won’t record after paying for time on my recordings I am having issues with it recording during a call my fiancé is calling me from Afghanistan and I was wanting to record him so that I can listen to it before bed because our hours are do different it’s hard to stay up all night and try to work with this corona thing  going on it’s hard on all of us. So if I don’t give positive feed back it won’t let me send my review.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-04-20, version 1.7*

Used to be a good app; now it’s worse than nothing. Not only will it fail to record the conversation, but it will also make it impossible even to have a conversation.

It used to work fine, so I purchased some credits. However, with the latest update, they seem to have added a “feature” wherein it just screams “PLEASE OPEN THE CALL RECORDER APP TO START RECORDING” over and over continuously. Once you do open the app, doesn’t matter, it’ll keep screaming that at whomever you’re trying to talk to anyway.

Worse than useless ; wish I could get my money back, and then some, for the embarrassment it’s caused me.

### 5/5 — One of the best app

*2024-09-30*

Love it

### 5/5 — Great call recording app😍

*2024-08-04*

Very easy to use with an iPhone creating a simple conference call. Voice quality is great, plus the time stamp and ability to save and share is perfect. Of course you can name each recording as saved files for easy identification.
I have been using this app for years and it has always worked well for me.
 Thanks

### 5/5 — Good

### 5/5 — Love the UpGrade !!!

*2023-12-14*

All of a sudden on my Apple iPhone titanium 15 Pro, Max, 2023 Christmas, the title names for Call recorder app have skyrocketed in length, and this one asked me to write by highlighting and read my title; I had included US 12 congressional seat in the naming do not know if that had anything to do with anything… But they keep adding features that keeps bringing me back– any professional can make this part of their documentation and due diligence.

### 5/5 — Nice application

*2023-10-03*

### 5/5 — Good Stuff!

Works perfectly!!! Thank you!😎

### 5/5 — YOU WILL BE VINDICATED!!!

*2023-08-01*

Have you ever been told by a customer service representative of a company that you would pay X amount of dollars for an item or service? Then when you called back to pay it’s not the price that you were quoted? Or in many other examples someone told you something that was incorrect or false? This app will record your conversations and vindicate you! I can’t count how many times someone told me something or gave me incorrect information! Airline flights, flight changes, insurance policy coverage info, instructions to arrive at a destination! Get this app and have peace of mind and ammunition to hold people accountable to their words and promises!
