### 2/5 — Great at first then stopped

*2026-08-05, version 8.0.54*

This app allowed to record some important calls 2 years ago for some legal stuff. It was my most trusted app. I tried using it again this year and now it’s not letting me even log in with my new phone. I tried using a a different app and it was a hassle. I tried going back to this app and it’s still not letting me log in. I wish it still worked for me. I was a loyal customer even during the months I wasn’t using it. Which saddens me because now that I need it I can’t even use it .

### 3/5 — Does what it’s supposed to.

*2026-07-24, version 8.0.54*

I like the practicality of it, very handy but expensive.

### 2/5 — Customer

*2026-07-15, version 8.0.54*

Sucks did do what I wanted which was to record recorded memos

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2026-05-25, version 8.0.54*

After much fumbling, it just didn’t work. Sorry folks

### 1/5 — Double charged

*2026-05-24, version 8.0.54*

Was charged twice and told ineligible for a refund. Don’t buy, you will be charged twice.

### 1/5 — I cannot update my phone   and they cannot help neither

*2026-05-21, version 8.0.54*

This is maybe the 19th time i send email to update my new phone # on file, and they never even tried to help. I cannot use the app anymore.

What kind of customer service is that?

The App Store is a nonsense to accept an app like this to be there. I guess, as long as they continue making money, who cares if the app is good or not.

You guys are a pathetic team. 
GO TO BLOODY HELL!

### 1/5 — Lost everything. Avoid.

*2026-05-15, version 8.0.54*

After using this app for over 10 years, I cannot sign back in and there is zero support outside of an AI machine. I will be looking for another app. Lost everything. Backing up is also extremely tedious. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Absolute garbage Scamy company !   I do not trust this company

*2026-05-09, version 8.0.54*

Don’t buy this service!  Rip off scam!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-05-04, version 8.0.54*

It didn’t record anything

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-04-16, version 8.0.53*

They bill you every week. By the time you figure it out, you’re $50 deep. Stay away

### 1/5 — One of the worst

*2026-04-03, version 8.0.53*

I’m writing this After fighting with their AI support as they keep telling me the features are listed in the paywall. On my version of phone they are not. They send me links to example.com domains to help. One of the worst most incompetent tech support help I’m ever experience. 

The asteroid shoul start here

### 1/5 — Police

*2026-04-01, version 8.0.53*

Ne dit pas qu’il faut payer avant d’avoir installé l’application, scam

### 1/5 — No Recording to be found

*2026-03-27, version 8.0.53*

I tested this, worked like a charm on the test. Then put it to work and recorded an extremely valuable call and guess what- the recording was nowhere to be found.

### 2/5 — Didn’t stop recording when call ended.

*2026-03-26, version 8.0.53*

The app started glitching out when I came sometime and got their voicemail. When I hung up it continued to record. I’m on an older iPhone 8s. But it recorded a call just fine earlier. Idk what’s up with this so I doubt it’s because I have an older phone. The time stamps are jumping around and it’s registering that it’s still recording the call so who knows what’s going on?  I might look into getting a different call recorder app. We’ll see.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-08-30, version 8.0.54*

DONT GET!!! You have it already built in to your iPhone. Tap the 3 dots while on a call.

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-08-30, version 8.0.54*

They stole thousands of dollars from my account without authorization. Beware!!

### 1/5 — Don’t purchase don’t do free trial use different app!

*2026-08-22, version 8.0.54*

They advertise all different pricing, but actually sign you up for $10 a week $40 a month without your knowledge do not use

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2026-08-21, version 8.0.54*

I use this app for years with no issues, all of a sudden now I can’t use it. They did something to change the app and I am no longer going to use it.

### 1/5 — Setup for AI Scams

*2026-08-02, version 8.0.54*

No way

### 1/5 — No instructions to cancel

*2026-07-26, version 8.0.54*

Unable to cancel the trial subscription

### 1/5 — Ripoff

*2026-07-15, version 8.0.54*

I got this on a two week free trial. I know that I would be charged after that but they charged me 9.99 a week.

### 1/5 — Bogus

*2026-07-09, version 8.0.54*

Ended up announcing in a robotic tone that it’s recording and I lost

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-06-26, version 8.0.54*

This app promised a free trial, and then tried to charge me $16.23. 

Nice try, jerk offs.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-06-14, version 8.0.54*

Had recordings that still show with time recorded. They were recorded and merged as instructed. I can no longer play the recordings. Submitted a request for assistance and only got information back that said I needed to make sure I merged my future calls

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great!

*2026-08-24, version 8.0.54*

I’ve had this for a long while and it has been beyond helpful to me! It is great! It’s the best!

### 5/5 — Tony

*2026-08-09, version 8.0.54*

Lower your prices 9.99 is a lot from 4.99

### 5/5 — 10 stars

*2026-06-28, version 8.0.54*

Perfection ☀️

### 5/5 — Very practical app

*2026-06-03, version 8.0.54*

In a world where companies over promising under deliver 
It's nice to have an app that does what it promises in a clean no learning curve way.

### 5/5 — Love TapeaCall

*2026-04-04, version 8.0.53*

This app makes my life so much easier and it always works 100% cindygrace.net

### 5/5 — Keeps you CMS compliant

*2026-03-30, version 8.0.53*

You can use this to complete enrollments to maintain CMS compliance if you are in Medicare or final expense so you have recorded calls. I have an iPhone, and I prefer this much more over the iPhone call recording.

### 5/5 — Exceptional app!

*2026-03-09, version 8.0.52*

It’s very helpful. It gets the job done and you can’t beat it. Even the upgraded version I’ve had and it helps tremendously when needed obviously.

### 5/5 — Comes in clutch

*2026-02-13, version 8.0.52*

Allows you to record any convo. Basically it gives you a 2nd line to merge with your call. The second line is recording it all . Very good if you need to catch a bad person

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-01-26, version 8.0.52*

I’m just learning to use your phone your phone site, but it does seem to be working well.
Thank You.

### 5/5 — Easy to use and organize your recordings

*2025-12-26, version 8.0.52*

This app has literally got me through a 3 year difficult messy divorce in one piece. I taped every single call - no more he said/she said nonsense and it’s usable in court (mine anyway) 
You can label and organize your recordings and this app has never glitched, never let me down and it’s easy and straightforward to use and it protected me when I needed it most. A+++
