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.

Smart voice recorder is an easy access, easy to use app that has really helped me with studying and remembering things I would otherwise forget. the mechanics are simple enough that you don't struggle to use the app, but not so simple that it causes you to mess up a recording. 10/10. would recommend to anyone in need of a recorder on their phone.

Used to be great. Recently something happened with this, and caused it to lose most of my files that I've recorded. It has kept a few, and those that it kept, replaced all of the other files. For example, recording #100, has now replaced recording #40 through 60, (and so on). Also, I keep receiving a prompt stating, "Storage Location Unavailable". I've went through the options to rectify it (several times), but it's not being applied. Please fix the updated coding that you obviously messed up.

Fantastic app. It's capable of sounding great if you go into the settings and turn the quality up (resulting in large file sizes), or you can sacrifice some quality with lower settings to save space on your device. My phone's microphone sucks, so I also used the settings to make it a bit more sensitive. So now it can pick up sounds that used to be too quiet. Though beware, if you later use it in a situation with much louder sounds, it may result in clipping/distortion. If in doubt, leave on Auto
