A significant number of recent reviews indicate the app frequently fails to record calls, has no sound, disconnects calls, or experiences merging issues. This contradicts the developer's notes about 'minor bug fixes'.R1R2R5R12
High Cost & Subscriptions negative
Users are highly dissatisfied with the pricing model, reporting high weekly or annual subscription fees (e.g., £6.99/week, £50/year, £363.48/year) that are often unexpected or taken without clear consent after a 'free trial.' Many feel it's a 'scam' or 'rip-off'.R6R7R10R16
Poor Customer Support negative
Numerous users report difficulty contacting customer support, receiving no response, or only automated replies when trying to resolve issues or request refunds.R2R11R31R53

Who it's for

This app is NOT for users who need a reliable, easy-to-use, or affordable call recording solution R1R7R14. It is also not for those who prioritize privacy, as it alerts the other party to recording R25R173R179.

Evidence note: The recent reviews are overwhelmingly negative, strongly contradicting the lifetime rating. The developer's notes mention 'minor bug fixes and performance improvements,' but recent user feedback indicates significant, unresolved functional issues, particularly with call recording and merging. Positive reviews are scarce and often lack detail, making it difficult to find strong counter-evidence.

  1. [R94] 3/5 · GB Good, for a few days: Great if you get the free trial. Not worth paying for
  2. [R173] 4/5 · CA Worked well to record but very loud beep: I’m not planning to keep this as I don’t need it long term, however it did work well the 2 times I did use it, but I’m taking off 2 stars because both times I used it, I wanted it to be confidential, but there was an extremely loud beep in the phone that the person on the other end could also hear right at first. It seems very ridiculous to me.
  3. [R100] 4/5 · GB Good App with great customer service support: I am paying for a regular 3 month subscription so it’s value for money in my opinion. I experienced a tech glitch recently and the tech team fixed it within 48 hours and gave great support. Problem was resolved as I received excellent tech support and the glitch was resolved leaving me a very happy customer. Great customer service is important in my o
  4. [R82] 5/5 · GB Voice Recorder effidence: Very good you can catch people out if they are not being nice or somebody is Threatening
  5. [R1] 1/5 · GB Complicated: Not easy to use long steps involved recording not working
  6. [R2] 1/5 · GB I do not reccomend: I purchased 1 years use of this app a few days ago. Used it straightaway. None of the telephone numbers that need to be dialled to access the service worked. Call immediately dropped on dialling. Contacted customer support requesting a refund and haven’t received a response. Would give zero stars if it was possible.
  7. [R5] 1/5 · GB AWFUL: The app doesn’t work, I followed all of the steps and the “recording” has no sound. Don’t bother waste of time effort and money
  8. [R12] 1/5 · GB Call merge does not work: Does not work
  9. [R6] 1/5 · GB Have to subscribe: You will not get the option of getting this without subscribing, be aware
  10. [R7] 1/5 · GB Not free: Another scam that wants a subscription don’t support this
  11. [R10] 1/5 · GB Scam DONT DOWNLOAD: I selected free trial and it charged my account for 1 year subscription
  12. [R16] 1/5 · GB A joke: I’ve paid 50.00 for a service that doesn’t work
  13. [R11] 1/5 · GB Don’t waste your money. Con artists: Never worked since day one. Have contacted the con artists to be told I can’t have my money back. I followed every instruction to the letter but still didn’t work. The company not interested in the fact you can’t get it to work. These companies need to be regulated as they are behind a screen and you can’t talk to anyone.
  14. [R31] 1/5 · GB DOES NOT WORK.: Emailed customer services to say it does not work and asked for a refund. Never heard back. Poor service.
  15. [R53] 1/5 · GB Not working at all - scam - I want my money back!: I purchased this app to record some phone meetings. Every single time I dial the provided service number/s, I get a message that “This person’s phone is currently unavailable.” I tried going through the channels to get a refund but have heard nothing back. So if you are thinking of getting this, don’t. £40 thrown in the water. Apple should vet the
  16. [R14] 1/5 · GB DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS APP: This call recording system is cumbersome and difficult to use. It does not start recording for some 15 seconds after you set it up to record meaning you will miss some of the call. It is a waste of money and I advise you do not buy it.
  17. [R24] 1/5 · GB Not easy to use: Very hard to use it 10min still not able to do what I needed!
  18. [R28] 1/5 · GB My biggest mistake: Accidentally bought the 1 year subscription instead of the 3-day trial. Requested a refund but was told it was not there policy. Too many touch points before you actually use the feature which one would have thought it would be done with a click of a button. You also have to call another in parallel so will incur further costs.
  19. [R54] 1/5 · GB Can’t use it. Support is non existent: SMS validation code hasn’t come through since purchasing for £40 weeks ago. No response from support email. Completely stuck and useless. Waste of a lot of money.
  20. [R58] 1/5 · GB Don’t pay for this App ITS A SCAM: I downloaded the app and paid for an annual subscription….and it asked me to confirm my mobile number, and said it would send a 6 digit code to verify the account It has never sent me a code. I keep refreshing, asking it to re-send. The code never gets sent I can’t use the app. I have tried to contact their Support on the App. Multiple messages. No satisfactory
  21. [R59] 1/5 · GB Code not getting sent: I’m going through the process of setting up the app, putting my phone number in when you press send code it’s not sending the code through to my text messages. This has been going on for the past hour and I’ve tried it at least eight times and still getting no codes through to let the app work. Can you please advise
  22. [R60] 1/5 · GB App is useless: Downloaded the appBut they wouldn’t send me a verification code to use the app after they decided to take money from my account so stay clear of this app is no good.
  23. [R17] 1/5 · GB Basim: It’s a scam app u can’t cancel ur subscription any where
  24. [R51] 1/5 · GB can i cancel my subscription: hi there I’ve recently started the free trial on this app and I would like to cancel it as I don’t want it anymore I would like to cancel my subscription but it won’t let me so can you please sort this out other wise it’s going to take money out of my account and I wouldn’t like that at all
  25. [R62] 1/5 · GB Impossible to cancel: Tried using the app never worked Tried to cancel Seem almost impossible to do that seems like a bit of a scam as everything is So awaiting obviously I bill to come now
  26. [R75] 1/5 · GB Can’t cancel: Easy to sign up but makes it hard to cancel subscription
  27. [R25] 1/5 · GB Alerts the other party to recording: When you go to merge the calls, the other party hears a suspicious “PLEASE HOLD”.
  28. [R179] 3/5 · CA Not very convenient: When you get a call, it take quite some time to be able to record . Also it make a huge noise when it starts recording . So the other person in the call will surely notice it …
  29. [R27] 1/5 · GB 40mins of missing audio: Downloaded this to record a very important phone call, recorded 25mins…… went blank for 40mins then audio came back in for the final 8mins. Words can’t express how gutted and angry I am. Don’t use this app for anything important.
  30. [R29] 1/5 · GB Expensive rubbish: Call quality is really bad
  31. [R52] 1/5 · GB Useless: Stated this was one of if not the best app to use to record a teams meeting that I had and was vital I had evidence and proof to go on but end the call to find it had a 12 second blank no sound recording, just as well it was free trial period before subscription payments weekly as absolutely no use for teams meetings , it had access to my microphone etc followed the instructions as it was
  32. [R19] 1/5 · GB Recording calls: I’m not able to merge calls So calls are not recorded Network provider EE don’t allow emerge calls I think
  33. [R40] 1/5 · GB No stars! Crap doesn’t work.: Not with three anyway. Waste of time and effort. Try to connect to the recording service it just hangs up. Before you can add caller or anything. Worthless 3 days trial. Cancelled subscription and still 3 days to go! Pathetic total disappointment.
  34. [R49] 1/5 · GB Only works if you have extra cost features enabled: You conference calling enabled, most standard carriers don’t and even if they support it they will often charge for it as it’s considered a “business” feature.
  35. [R168] 4/5 · CA Review: Worked , but not on all calls??? I dime that is the issue with my cellphone provider: other than that it appears to be a quality item !
  36. [R26] 1/5 · GB False adv: In responding to your response: the adv was saying the app permits to record for free. But it does not, so it was misleading advertising, and you are paying for it
