App summary

Free and easy to use audio recorder for Android, designed for high-quality and long-time recording with a clean and simple user interface.

With a skipping silence on-the-fly feature, recordings could be shortened by omitting relative silence. It allows you, for example, to catch night sleep talks or maybe some snoring, whatever comes first. 😴 By the way, it is how the idea to make this app was born: my spouse wanted to prove that I talk at night. It turns out, I do. 🤔

Since 2012 this app has been installed on more than 50 million devices worldwide and proven to be a reliable everyday tool.

Regarding phone calls: 📲
This app is not designed explicitly for recording phone calls. Some manufacturers block the ability to record the other party of a phone call for privacy or legal reasons. Therefore recordings will be paused during phone calls by default. Remember to be responsible and comply with your local laws.

More features:
• Automatic and manual sensitivity control for Skip silence mode (Beta)
• Live audio spectrum analyzer
• Wave/PCM encoding with adjustable sample rate (8-44 kHz)
• Recording in the background (even when a display is off)
• Save/pause/resume/cancel recording process control
• Efficient and easy on the battery
• Recording time limited only by available storage along with a 2GB limit per file
• Straightforward recordings list and many sharing options
• Launcher shortcut to start recording in one tap
• Microphone gain calibration tool.

Best I've tried for what I needed. The only down side is how sensitive it is. My belly growling even activated it so the recs just ended up longer than expected. Would be cool to be able to have a low volumed tv in the background (kinda continual) as low baseline and anything increasing from THAT point would activate the recorder, that woulda been perfect! Still tho, countless times I thought I missed something then would remember the app and it caught it every time!! Was SO relieved I had it!

Pretty damn sweet recoding app! I especially like that it can record the audio from a video files AND audio from online videos... without canceling out the video players, like so many other recoding apps do. The only improvement or suggestion I can offer is... it would be awesome to be able to edit the audio by trimming or selecting sections of a recoding. I have to convert the file and then import it into a separate audio editing app for that, but overall, very versatile with sound quality.

Been using this app for years and love it. Audio quality is amazing. Friends of mine and I record our farts and poops audio and send them to each other. (No BS, we actually do this) Mine sounds better than the other guys who are using something else to record with. On top of that, the ability to share with each other is easy as is renaming the files. I also use it for work.voice notes.
