Too many steps to record incoming calls
After answering calll you have 1) open app. 2) click button 3) click again to merge. Which means you have already missed a minute of recording. I had an app on my android that automatically recorded every inbound/outbound call. Zero action. Don’t have to remember to record call. I gave this app a try because it said 1 tap to record, easiest recording app. Not true. Don’t waste your money.

Don’t steal from me
You already charge me $6.24 when there’s a three day free trial and it already went through my bank account. I’m gonna have this site shut down.
Hangs up after pressing numbers in call
I just noticed after upgrading to iOS 17, and I’m not certain it’s only affecting this version of iOS. However, if I make a call and then press any keys as a touch tone response (e.g., automated menu), I notice that the Recorder’s service number drops from the 3-way call. Only the original number appears. This is useless now. My ticket has been ignored. Time to find a new solution!
Update (07-Dec-2023): Issue persists well into iOS 17.1.2.

Terrible call recorder
It’s absolutely horrible.. terrible to use.. it’s virtually impossible to use to record.. it doesn’t work to record the conversation when you press call record .. it only records a few secs of your call.. this is a hack!!!
I can’t believe they can get away with submitting an app to the AppStore without verification that it’s accessible for use or no issues operating! Pls tell me why I couldn’t record for longer than 5 sec.. that’s absurdly ridiculous and that’s following every step that’s stated how to use !

Terrible app
Steals personal info
Says it’s free; isn’t free, all these apps do this
The app is only free to download, you can’t record without a subscription. Waste of space on my phone and misleading. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I’ve been looking for an actual free app but there isn’t any. I’ve downloaded like 15 of these apps hoping at least statistically one would be free and it doesn’t look like it.
Did not work.
Followed every step recommended. Did a test call. There was a recording logged. Did a real phone call. Just static… what a nightmare. This was an important phone call for legal reasons.
Thanks for screwing that up.

4.99 unlimited call option is not available once i download the app
I am happy to delete this review once this is resolved. However, I took a lot of time to choose you based on comparing many reviews and pricing. It is disappointing to then download the app and not be shown any of the options listed in your pricing other than a 5.99 weekly option any 7.99 with the option, neither of which I am interested in. If someone can quickly provide me with the option that I want, that you offer, I will update my review.
No customer service… it is impossible to close the service .. do not contact .. do not recommend ..

Not reliable
This app is not easy to use and you lose time having to go through the recording process. It’s a waste of money. Do not purchase it unless you want to give your money away.
I want this removed now
Block
Do not download
You will get charged.
Bad connection method
Statistics and reconnecting the call delay the recording. I don’t like it. Ps. They charge you on the 3 rd day more than subscription costs.
Garbage
Didn’t work. Charged me anyway. Look elsewhere.
Not free
Literally nothing, a button to get a paid version
Terrible
It has taken money from my account two times I can no longer link my debit card to my phone. It keeps trying to take money off it!
A joke
Used this app to record one thing and never used it again. Charged me $5.99 a week for three months without informing me or asking.
Does not work properly
This does not work like it promised
Terrible
This app doesn’t do anything like it states.
Worthless
I needed to record a phone call with an airlines that had canceled one of my flights, and I wanted to get it on record so they couldn't back out on what they were promising me. I found this app, downloaded it, and paid for a one week subscription. I initiated the call, as instructed in the app, called the airlines, and then merged the calls. After approximately ten minutes on the call I received a notification from this app saying that my recording was ready, which was weird because I was still on the call. I figured that maybe it had started a new recording, or something, so I finished the phone call with the airlines and hung up. I immediately went to the app and it showed only one recording - the initial ten minutes of the call. The recording was worthless and didn't record the part of the phone call that I really needed recorded. So, thanks for nothing "Call Recorder," and thanks for wasting my time and money.
This app is a scam.
I have no idea how this app stole my financial information. I did not sign up, insert my phone number, or input any financial information. I have sent three messages to their support email and no response. Please refund me my money. This is unacceptable.
Not reliable
Will record the he first few seconds and stop.
Thumbs down
I can’t even find where to unsubscribe!!
Useless
Absolutely useless. Stops recording after ~10 seconds of silence.
It doesn’t works
I need my money back
App doesn’t give an option to cancel subscription
I downloaded the app and activated the 3 days free trial. I tried it once and didn’t work for me. So need to cancel my subscription right away. Sadly, the app do not let you unsubscribe! Is this a trap?
App failed recording witnesses in daughter’s death
We were devastated to find that the recorded witnesses statement in our daughter’s death did not open.
“It’s A Trap”
The app is easy to sign up for, but no clear way to cancel.
Call Recorder not impressed
This app is bunk. The directions provided do not work. Recommend passing the app up and selecting a different app.
That do no let me cancel my suscribcion
I need to cancel my susbcribcion and the app do not let me do it, and not body from customer services let me do it too
A little too extra
Shouldn’t have to do anything
but dial a number or answer a call to record calls. I’ve used call cube for androids for years just got a iPhone and nothing is free or simple.

Inconvenient & frustrating
You can’t just press a button to record a call. It’s a super weird frustrating & inconvenient process.
You need to open the app, then call the special phone number on the app, THEN add the person you want to record with to the call, THEN once the person answers, you have to merge the call turning it into what looks like a group call between you, the person you’re recording with, and the special phone number on the app (which looks very suspicious)- that’s when the recording starts.
On top of that, it only works half the time. Once you merge the calls, the call with the special phone number will either drop right away or half way through the conversation, therefore ending the recording before it even starts or cutting half of it off.
The app is buggy, and will delete the labels you put on your recorded conversations.
For someone like myself who’s in sales & makes a lot of phone calls, it is not ideal and more of a headache than it is helpful. Wouldn’t use it even if it was free.
