    Excellent App.. Good to get it on discount finally

    Been using this for years and has worked perfectly, very good app, even better at this price

    This would be handy if I didn't let all my calls go to voicemail then get sent to me in an sms.

    Drupe Dialer is a good alternative that does call recording as just one of its features. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it's pretty slick once you use it for a few days. It handles dual SIM phones well too, like the Motorola G4 Plus I'm writing this on, courtesy of the Good Guys deal posted here the other day.

      I stopped using Drupe Dialer a while ago. The call recording must be a new feature - I'll have to look into it. Thanks for bringing it up.

  • Is recording phone calls legal?

    • +22

      For coaching and monitoring purposes only

      • Some places don't have PABX recording setup and they only say that to make you behave on the phone call. :)

        • That makes sense… I once told a courier company that I didn't want the call to be recorded and the operator said that they didn't know how to stop the recording, even though the announcement stated that I could make the request.

        • @Hahnski: They don't stop it, basically if someone needs to pull the record and there was an objection they just don't pull it

    • +2

      Yes it is legal. As long as one party is aware they are being recorded it is a-ok.

      • -3

        Lol, you mean both parties. Yes, it's only illegal if they aren't aware.

        • +8

          Nope in QLD the other person doesn't have to know you're recording them as long as you are a part of the conversation.

          @R3XNebular: I down-voted you, but turns out you're right.

        • @R3XNebular:

          I did not know that… So if someone from WA calls you, do you think that the QLD law holds?

          @simmo1985:

          Any chance you could share the link or info on this discovery?

        • @R3XNebular:

          Only if your are using an external recording device. Using an app such as this is NOT LEGAL in QLD without the other parties knowledge.

          @Andoes:http://www.lawyersforemployers.com.au/recording-private-conversations/

          According to this a smartphone is considered an external device so using this app is legal for recording conversations.

      Always seek legal advice - the following is my interpretation of what I have read and heard. My understanding is that if one party has announced that the call will be recorded then both parties are okay to record the call. For example, you call the help desk for your ISP and they announce "this call will be recorded for coaching purposes etc…" then you are free to also record and don't need to tell them (as jelko was probably trying to say in his/her reply which is as long as one party has announced it and made all parties in the call aware of the recording). Otherwise, if no announcement is made then the recording must and always has to remain private and never broadcast, published, played back to anyone etc., except for your own personal use. Once again, always seek legal advice on such matters. I am in no way qualified to give advice.

      So how do I use this app?… if I am on the road and call someone and am given a reference code, phone number or a piece of information then I will be able to replay the call and retrieve the data when I get home and write it down. Then I will delete the recording.

      And finally, I'll say it one more time… always seek legal advice on such matters. Never take anyone's advice on such matters unless they are qualified (and I am not qualified).

        What if i want to play it in court as evidence? :S

      I believe it Varies by state, for example in QLD it is legal to secretly record a phone call to an external device (such as a dictaphone), it is illegal to do the same thing using a device physically attached to the phone including an app

      • I should have read further comments before I replied to OP saying this. You are 100% correct.

        • Yes, I agree. We do need to be careful. There are both state laws and federal laws and they cover different things. "Directly Tapping" phone conversations via the telecommunications medium falls under federal laws.

          Use of a telecommunication medium to bug a room ("infinity bugs")also falls under federal law.

          "Air gapped" recording (including hidden cameras, same room conversations and telephone outside of the medium) are covered by state laws.

          Now I will throw in a disclaimer here, I am not a lawyer so anyone with concerns needs proper legal advice.

      • *The TIA prohibits the recording of a telephone conversation if a device that is physically attached to the telephone is used to record the conversation. Therefore if the telephone had an external bugging device attached, it is illegal to record the conversation in Queensland.

        However, the IPA allows the recording of a telephone conversation by a device that is not attached to a telephone. For example, if a Smartphone is used this would be considered an external device and it would be legal to record the conversation under the ipa*

        According to this site a smartphone app would be fine? Sounds like the legislation is referring to actual physical devices being attached to the phone internally or externally.

  • Wish there was something similar for ios.

    • There is, or was, a JailBreak app that allows you to do this for iPhone 5 onwards (apparently won't work on iPhone 4S and previous models due to hardware differences). I think I read about it on iClarified.com

    I use Galaxy Call Recorder. It is the only one I have found that lets you play and delete recordings from the notification bar which is an essential feature for me. It works on non-Samsung devices too, I've used it on G4 and an Xperia Z5 Compact.

  • Does this work on Nexus 5X? Recording apps don't work for this phone

    • +2

      Yes if you flash a third party kernel.

      Usually third party Android kernels are less stable than stock but nowhere near as bad as third party ROMs as far as stability.

    Be warned guys, this is a good app and I've used it for years but it stopped working when I upgraded my Motorola G4 Plus to Nougat (Android 7.0) last weekend. A bit of googling and reading help forums reveals that Android 7 doesn't allow call recording, even on rooted phones apparently. Thanks Google.

    But I can say ACR worked very well on Android 5 and Android 6, but no call recorder will work on Android 7 apparently. Note that ACR don't mention this on their website, but if you dig deep on help forums you can find some info deeply buried in there. Well hidden info if you ask me, gotta wonder if it's deliberate and the ACR developers are making a last desparate grab for your cash before the word gets out there.

    • +2

      Well then, they can shove Android 7 then.

      Every time they upgrade Android they add features I don't want or need, and remove ones I do. I wonder if you do a factory reset, does it go back to the first Android version installed when you first bought the phone?

      • Most of the time an upgrade replaces the restore partition with the new OS.

        • Are you saying day one of each new Android version becomes the new "factory reset point"? If so, I might check if my warranty is expired and root instead. (Would love to remove some of HTC's apps.)

        • @GregMonarch:

          That's what happened on my Nexus 5. It reverted back to the current OS installed and the user partition was nuked when restored.

    • Maybe that's just a moto thing? My LG g5 records calls fine, though I use automatic call recorder app instead.

    • My Sony Z5 has Android 7, this app works on it.

    • Yes extremely dodgy . Obviously a last ditch effort to get some cash in before their revenue stream dissapeared

  • I currently have a call (person left a message) on my phone which I'd like to get onto my pc— is there any way to do that?

    • Voice recorder on Pc, use speakerphone on the mobile?

      • Yeah, I tried Audacity & the mic from my headset— it's "ok". I can't boost the mic w/o feedback & the call is faint. I was hoping there was some other way to extract it as some sort of file.

        Thanks for the suggestion.

        • If you listen to the message and record it using this app - or the native call record function on earlier versions of android, the file will be saved in Audio folder on the phone.

          I realise I'm making pretty obvious suggestions here…

    • use this app, then dial up your voicemail line?

  • Great app. I use it to record all my conversations at (and with) work.
