Call Recorder
Call Recorder from Cube Apps Ltd is the most installed app here, with 50 million installs and a 4.1 rating on Google Play. Version 2.4.289 was updated on November 3, 2026. It is free to download but shows ads and has in-app purchases, so read the listing to see what sits behind them. The developer says it records calls and VoIP automatically.
Call Recorder Automatic
Call Recorder Automatic has 10 million installs and a 3.9 rating on Google Play. Version 1.11 arrived on October 31, 2026. It shows ads but lists no in-app purchases, so the cost is attention rather than money. The store text repeats keywords and says little about specific features. Its stated aim is recording incoming and outgoing calls automatically.
Call Recorder Pro
Call Recorder Pro from MARGOAPPS LLC shows no ads, but it runs on subscriptions: weekly with a 3-day free trial, monthly and yearly. The listing warns that a trial renews into a paid plan unless you cancel in time. Google Play shows a 3.8 rating and 1 million installs. Version 5.80 was updated on October 9, 2026.
Switch-Readable call recording
Switch from Atlas Guide, Inc. uses AI to turn recorded calls into chat-style text, so you can read a call and replay only the parts you need. It also offers a web app, Switch Connect, and sharing by link. It has no ads and no in-app purchases.

Before installing any of these, open the Google Play page and read the permissions and data sections. Make one short test call with a friend who agrees to be recorded, then play it back to check that both voices come through. If you pick Call Recorder Pro, find the cancel route in your Google Play subscriptions before the 3-day trial ends. Also look at how often the developer ships updates. Version 1.11 and version 5.80 say little by themselves, but a recent date suggests the app is still maintained.
