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.

Best recording app ever! I have it open on my phone all the time so it's right there if I need it in an emergency. You can't record VoIP or cell calls, but at home I record important calls on my landline speakerphone. Customer service has been very responsive to queries. The app is very easy to use and has all the options and features I need. I have tried 5 other recording apps, and this is the point at which I stop testing apps because so far (7 months) THIS one has been perfect.

I've had this app for years and I wouldn't keep it if I didn't appreciate it. I use it heavily at times, then I don't need it for a while. It works even smoother today than the old versions I started with. File sizes remain manageable, quality is great. That said, the one reason I started using this app was I needed a recorder that automatically paused when all was silent. I can no longer can find that option! I may have to change recorder apps soon if that functionality is truly gone.

I like it! The speakers on my laptop aren't working and the original version of Sound Recorder (which cannot be deleted since it's a permanent app) wasn't very good. I had to keep turning up the volume to listen to it very well, but it still wouldn't turn out. Smart Recorder is the best app to use to listen to your music and others sounds carefully without turning the volume all the way up. Thank you so much for this app! It totally rocks! 🤘
