The idea of ​​recording phone calls may sound like spy movies, but there are times in every person's life when it needs to be done. For example, journalists to insert accurate quotes in articles and television programs, and businessmen during important negotiations. The record can also serve as proof of work with the client or verbal agreements..

The Google Play Market has a large number of applications for such tasks. In this roundup, we'll take a look at the best ones! Most of them are completely free, so test some of them and pick one as they can conflict with each other. Please note that many of them are similar in name, so be careful when looking for them in the Play Market.

Another Call Recorder

Another Call Recorder  is a decent app for any Android smartphone that stands out from the competition for its compatibility with a wide range of devices. In terms of characteristics, it resembles Automatic Call Recorder: it is also possible to record incoming and outgoing calls in automatic mode..

You can also record conversations only from certain numbers. If desired, you can turn on the manual recording mode, as well as set a password for listening. A large number of audio formats are supported: AMR, MP4, OGG, FLAC, WAV, M4A, 3GP.

ACR allows you to group calls by date to make it easier to find the conversation you want. The paid version of the app supports syncing with cloud storage services such as Dropbox and Google Drive, and also lets you upload files to an FTP server and send them to email. You can set up automatic deletion of old entries to free up phone memory..

Call Recorder can record all incoming and outgoing calls, and if necessary, quickly enable or disable recording. The application can be configured to automatically delete records older than the specified number of days, while the previously marked files will not be deleted. With the built-in player, you can listen to recorded conversations, while hiding them from the standard Android OS media player.

Overall, this is a very decent app. If it records the interlocutor very quietly, then try playing with the settings, they work differently on all phones. The paid version has synchronization with Dropbox or Google Drive.

Callbox

Previously, the Callbox application  had two versions - paid and free, but recently the developers specifically closed the paid version in order to make all additional functionality free. Let's take a closer look at what the program can do.

Callbox has a unique feature - enabling manual recording when you shake the phone, without pressing additional buttons, and the built-in filtering option will only record calls from certain subscribers.

Now you do not need to worry about having to take notes during a conversation, because the desired moments can be marked by shaking the phone. If necessary, the conversation history can be password protected. It is also possible to hide the application icon so that no one knows that you are using it.

Automatic Call Recorder

Automatic Call Recorder  is a powerful application for high-quality recording of both interlocutors and identification of numbers. There are 5 recording modes, including automatic selection of the best one for your device. Now only four audio formats are supported: AMR, WAV, AAC, MP3, but the developers promise to add a few more new ones.

You can add important conversations to your favorites so that you can quickly find the one you need later, if necessary. And to protect the recordings from eavesdropping by unauthorized people, you can set a password on them. For greater reliability, you can set up automatic file backups to the cloud storage. Records deleted by mistake can be restored from the built-in "Recycle Bin".

Automatic Caller ID works in real time. Now you will know who is calling you, even if this number is not in your phone book. Thanks to a database of more than 1 million scammers, you will receive a corresponding warning if one of them decides to call you.

Switch on the Native recording mode and activate the speaker if you cannot hear the interlocutor's voice. Also, some applications, such as Clean Master, App Manager, Task Manager, Battery Optimizer, Greenify and Privacy Guard, block the application, due to which calls cannot be recorded. Usually it is enough to add Automatic Call Recorder to their "White List" for everything to work.

Truecaller

Most smartphone owners know Truecaller as applications for detecting unknown numbers and blocking unwanted calls . However, one should not lose sight of another important function of it - automatic call recording, which is available in the paid version. For 14 days, you can use it for free to decide whether to upgrade to the paid version or choose another application from our review.

Automatic Call Recorder Pro

The Automatic Call Recorder Pro app  is paid and costs 269 rubles, but there is a possibility of a money back with a 100% guarantee if it does not work properly. Let's try to find out what the developers are asking for money for.

As usual, you can record all incoming and outgoing calls automatically, or manually specify who needs to be recorded and who not. You can listen to the finished files right in the application, share them on social networks and cut off the necessary moments from the conversation (this is not the case for most competitors). If it was an important conversation, then it can be saved in a special category so that it does not get lost among many others.

When GPS is on, you can view the location where the recording was made. The list of files can be sorted by time or by the name of the interlocutor. If you have especially confidential conversations, you can set a password to listen to them.

Automatic Call Recorder

Automatic Call Recorder has a high rating on Google Play and was personally tested by me on a number of devices, showing a decent result. In uninterrupted mode, it can record an unlimited number of calls of any quality in one of the audio formats: mp3, 3gp or mp4.

The user is given three modes of operation to choose from: recording all incoming calls, only those that are in the phone book, or absolutely all calls. Conversation recording starts automatically - no need to press any buttons or perform other actions to activate it.

The application supports synchronization with Dropbox and Google Drive, and it is also possible to move audio files to the phone's SD card or send it to email. Therefore, you do not have to worry about the lack of memory on your smartphone.

Cube Call Recorder ACR

Cube Call Recorder ACR  allows you to not only record standard phone calls, but also save conversations from VoIP programs such as Skype, Viber, WhatsApp, as well as Hangouts, Slack and Telegram. The program is absolutely free and does not contain ads, which is good news.

The app has a built-in audio player for playing or deleting recordings. You can create a list of subscribers, during a conversation with whom the recording will take place, or, conversely, with whom you do not need to do this.

It is possible to mark important calls in order to quickly find them in the future. A particularly cool feature is the ability to mark an important part of the conversation right during the call. To do this, you need to shake the phone and the application will mark the current moment of the dialogue so that you can quickly find it, and not listen to the entire dialogue anew in search of the right moment. After the call ends, you can choose what to do with the recording: play it back, send it to a friend, or delete it.

If you find an interesting conversation and want to talk to this person again, then you do not need to open Contacts and look for him - you can call directly from Cube ACR. The paid version has Google Drive backup, SD card storage and password protection.

If you have trouble hearing yourself or your interlocutor, then try changing the recording source in the application settings or use the speakerphone.

Record my call

Record My Call  is one of the most feature-rich options among all automatic call recording apps found on the Play Store. In the settings, you can select: recording mode (mono or stereo), sampling rate, bit rate, and also restrict the recording of calls from familiar and unfamiliar numbers. Audio formats such as MP3, WAV, AMR, MP4 and 3GP are supported.

The program automatically sorts calls by directories and allows you to quickly search for conversations in the call history. After recording a conversation, you can save it to one of the cloud storage - Dropbox or Google Drive. Also, to save memory, recordings can be saved to an SD card, and for privacy - set a password for listening. If necessary, you can create a special folder to save important conversations in the phone's memory.

Smart Call Recorder

With Smart Call Recorder , you can record all incoming and outgoing calls in high quality in one of the formats: mp3, amr or wav. Naturally, it is possible to configure which calls will be recorded and which will not. This is done using a whitelist and blacklist.

Important conversations can be flagged and stored in a separate category. There is a sorting of files by time or subscriber name. When GPS is on, the location where the recording was made will be recorded. To protect against eavesdropping on conversations by unauthorized people, you can set a password for the application.
