Call Recorder (No Ads)

A Google user

I used this in Android versions below 8 and it was perfect. Now I'm up to v10 on Pixel XL, and I've had to root the phone and deny many other apps permission to access the microphone, for instance WhatsApp and Google Assistant. I know those issues are caused by Google trying to lock down the operating system, so cannot blame the developer. I still find Bold Beast randomly turning itself off every few days, regardless of battery settings, so I have to check the notification icon frequently.

Truly a great app. It has always worked for me the first time after a quick test and setup. The only thing that doesn't work is switching audio output between ear piece/speaker/headphone. Switching the stream will break the recording but other than, as long as I don't switch the stream, it has worked really well for me. I use it often to take notes or to simply have a reference for details that I may have missed during a live call. Thank you devs this app is awesome and very helpful

This is a great app. I have a Moto G5S plus with Android 8.1 and tried at least six other recorder app and all failed. This is working right out of the box. No fuss. Thank you Boldbeast team.... I had an issue where my side would quit recording about 40 seconds into the conversation. With a little experimenting, I found that recording mode 7 restored full recording.

This program appears deceptively simple. It's actually very powerful and it reliably records phone calls with a minimum of fuss. If your hardware needs adjustments for it to work, many tweaks are available, and documentation is very good.. The only "failing" is not being able to record WiFi calling, more an Android restriction than BoldBeast. I'd really like to own Pro, but $9.99 is a little steep. Nonetheless, it's a very competent app.

This Call recorder is amazing and works so, so well. Unfortunately I have an issue that has brought my attention to this app being the common denominator. It switches my call to speaker on its own and this is frustrating in every call. It happened to my note 8, and now it is happening to my s10+ Please fix this bug, issue, glitch!! **Edit: This was the "Should I pick up" App and not the recording app. So, 5 stars and my continued loyalty. Stay awesome l!**

Never able to get it to work properly. I tested every preset and the most I could record is the ringing before the call is answered. Please note that I have not rooted my phone, so the advanced option was not tested. Phone: Galaxy S9+. This is another app in a long list that doesn't work properly or requires speakerphone to work. I have also gone through the FAQs to ensure I haven't missed anything.

I love the Boldbeast Call Recorder App. It is the BEST at what it does. However, this app and all other call recorder apps were crippled by Google when it released Android Pie (version 9) operating system. Until Google allows phones that are on the Pie OS to record calls, Boldbeast and all other call recorder apps will not work as intended (if at all). There is a way to get around Android Pie and fix these call recorder issues but that requires you to root your phone. For those who own Samsung phones using the Snapdragon CPU here in the USA, you will not be able to root your phone. As a result, you will not be able to use ANY call recorder apps as intended by their developers.

Good free app. Love the no-ads and the tiny indicator that lets me know its awake and on standby. Can't give 5 stars because I'm not loving the huge standby notification stripe that also appears in the drop-down; that type of notification should be reserved for things that require attention. It would be great to turn off notifications and still get the standby indicator. But you have to take both or nothing at all.
