  1. [R2] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 5/5 · US Maura Saracino: Cannot use the keypad of the phone to make needed selections for a phone tree. Please fix this! Cannot get back to my phone’s keypad and the sight doesn’t supply one.
  2. [R3] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 3/5 · US Issue: It looks like this app will not record calls coming in on WhatsApp.
  3. [R6] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 3/5 · US Need keypad!: So the only option that is given after you make a call is the button to hang up, but the keypad should become available, I was calling a business and needed to press numbers in order to be transferred and was unable to do so, I was then hung up on.
  4. [R8] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 4/5 · US This STINKS: Can’t use keypad during call.
  5. [R4] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Worst: This app is the worst! Why should I have to call a number first to record a number? The entire point of a call recorder is to capture dynamic situations. You can’t do that with some garbage like this. I want a refund!
  6. [R7] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US No discretion: This app makes you call another number while on the line with the actual person you’re talking to. They will probably notice it’s a three way call and if you have to call them while you’re on the phone they will also know. If you do buy this app by accident, you won’t be refunded. Stay away.
  7. [R10] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Too complicated: I immediately regretted buying this app the minute I tried to use it. The marketing copy made it sound easy but I didn’t realize it’s a third party number you have to call and the number of the person you are calling has to be in your contacts and there’s no way I could figure out to make sure it’s actually recording while recording. Tried to get a refund but no dice. Should have
  8. [R33] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Not a one button recorder: In the summary it says no more merging calls…… yeah right!!!! This is the lengthiest call recorder I have ever seen and they hang up by the time you even get half way thru all the stuff you gotta go into and hit after you ANSWER! False advertising of this call recorder app
  9. [R9] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 3/5 · US Good but issues: I like this recorder, but I’ve never had another one. There is only a hang-up bottom, no mute or anything else. It also has, 3 times now, not saved my recording after a phone call. Very frustrating.
  10. [R23] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Recording gone: I was on a call for a government procedure. It took around 3hours, it suddenly turned off, and there were no recordings left.
  11. [R24] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 2/5 · US Been Using Couple of Years - 5 Star downgrade to 2 Star!: Suddenly could not record inbound calls in past 90 days Since May 2025. I updated my paid service, still nothing. Also no iCloud backup or Dropbox. This good out calling only. Tried to email and online services and won’t email. Broken service for support. Please fix inbound calls and add backup service and email to service. Thanks.
  12. [R29] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US No funciona: Hice la grabación, en primer lugar no se oye y en segundo lugar trato de transcribirla y desde ayer se queda en 99%. Mande esta información y no contestan. Voy a eliminar mi suscripción.
  13. [R1] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Unacceptable, & misleading.: I’m trying to put my phone number in the app, but it won’t accept it. I don’t have any cash in international number, I have a personal phone. The app should’ve included information describing the need for an international phone before it requested my money. Now I’ve played for a service that I cannot use. I truthfully rate this app below the grading level offered.
  14. [R16] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Doesn’t work I requested a refund the next day.: It did not work the next day I requested a refund has not been refunded yet. I will dispute it with my credit card company and if I have to, I will file a court case have fun paying $5000 for corporate Lawyer.
  15. [R27] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US NO ES GRATIS: Descargue la app para probar , hice una llamada y luego recibí un mensaje de mi operador diciendo que mi factura por la llamada fue de 70€ 😤 ahora me toca pagar esa llamada que hice y que grabé
  16. [R30] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Price: Creating a program to record sound is incredibly easy. There is zero reason for this to cost 50$ a year when it’s completely free on android.
  17. [R26] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Vialisaseth: Customer service dies not respond. Not worth it.
  18. [R14] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US No keypad?: Really?
  19. [R73] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Too many scams on this app is not a good app for work search or even finding a job: There are too many scams on this app. This app have lost it ways. I would never download this app again. Only reason I downloaded it because my Professor made me ever since I downloaded this app. I received random scam emails from people with foreign accent. , the absolute worst app ever there’s no way anybody on t
  20. [R118] LinkedIn 1/5 · US Like there’s any choice: LinkedIn practically monopolizes the job market and gives heavy advantages to the employers rather than the employee. They spam you to pay for their premium services and yet can’t identified and verified a real person. The platform is crowded with so called ceos and job gurus. There’s no real authenticity to what these companies really are. They do not do anything about th
  21. [R37] Call Recorder for iPhone ㅤ 1/5 · US Scammers: I cancelled my subscription that was absolutely worthless. I hit cancel on the app it said that it was the last day to cancel it showed a confirmed cancellation. My account was charged $49 and my account was reactivated. Crooks . Recording does not work on automated calls . This app is a complete waist of money . Go buy a recording device on Amazon it will work for all your needs .
  22. [R92] LinkedIn 4/5 · US App concept and execution are great but the amount of notifications should be criminal: I could not understand why I was getting flooded with random summaries and updates constantly so I went to check- they had added several dozen individual controls for turning off notifications. It took me 15 to 20 minutes to turn them all off. That was a cheap trick I don’t appreciate.
  23. [R96] LinkedIn 3/5 · GB Does what it’s meant to: Absolutely fine for doing what LinkedIn is supposed to do but PLEASE stop sending 5 or 6 notifications, one for each individual game in LinkedIn. I want one notification, just one. Having one for each game come through at the exact same time is SO intrusive and annoying. Please fix. Edit: Thanks for the response LinkedIn, I know I can manage notifications. My options are
  24. [R113] LinkedIn 5/5 · GB -: LinkedIn app makes networking and learning from industry leaders so much effortless. I love how easy it is to connect, share ideas, and stay updated on trends, all from my phone. Notifications can be a lot sometimes, but overall it’s a must-have for any professional looking to grow and stay informed and connected
