About this app

Free and easy to use audio recorder for Android, designed for high-quality and long-time recording with a clean and simple user interface.

With a skipping silence on-the-fly feature, recordings could be shortened by omitting relative silence. It allows you, for example, to catch night sleep talks or maybe some snoring, whatever comes first. 😴 By the way, it is how the idea to make this app was born: my spouse wanted to prove that I talk at night. It turns out, I do. 🤔

Since 2012 this app has been installed on more than 50 million devices worldwide and proven to be a reliable everyday tool.

Regarding phone calls: 📲
This app is not designed explicitly for recording phone calls. Some manufacturers block the ability to record the other party of a phone call for privacy or legal reasons. Therefore recordings will be paused during phone calls by default. Remember to be responsible and comply with your local laws.

More features:
• Automatic and manual sensitivity control for Skip silence mode (Beta)
• Live audio spectrum analyzer
• Wave/PCM encoding with adjustable sample rate (8-44 kHz)
• Recording in the background (even when a display is off)
• Save/pause/resume/cancel recording process control
• Efficient and easy on the battery
• Recording time limited only by available storage along with a 2GB limit per file
• Straightforward recordings list and many sharing options
• Launcher shortcut to start recording in one tap
• Microphone gain calibration tool.

I've been using this app for years, by far the best recording app i've ever used. I'm a musician/audio engineer professionally, and this is the best way to quickly record an idea to work on later, record some cool sounds while you're out and about, or even capture the moment in a jam session/show. You can choose the sample rate too which is a big plus (higher or lower quality recordings depending on your needs). Fantastic app. All i could ask for is auto-sync to google drive.

I tried many different recording apps on the Google Play Store and was always dissatisfied by their features and performance. Then I found smart voice recorder and have been using the app for nearly 10 years. My personal opinion is smart voice recorder is the best voice recording app on the Google Play Store par none. Give it a test drive and see for yourself. Once you test drive smart voice recorder you will never go back to using another voice recording app.

I love this app so much; Because it's SIMPLY, FAST to OPEN and USE, when you need it (to document anything happening: positive, neutral or negative, around you). It's so useful; that I have the App's. Icon on EVERY one of my home screens… in the exact SAME POSITION (so I can open it VERY QUICKLY) to document ANYTHING That needs to be. It's simple enough to use; but also has enough features, to make it meet your specific needs.
