Rev Call Recorder 4+

Best FREE Recorder App I’ve Used So Far

There could be some improvements, as in any app, but overall, I haven’t had any issues using it. I can always hear both I and the other person clearly. Only thing I think would be an improvement is how long it takes the recorder phone number to answer and merge the call you want to record and the recorder line together. Also, I think you should have the option to go to settings and turn ON the recorder notice/warning/message that plays loudly when you start a call in the Rev app itself as opposed to already being on a phone call then merging the Rev recorder phone line and the call you’re already on. I had an attempt to record someone, who I and my department were investigating for murder, be destroyed and my cover blown because of the Rev app loudly stating the call was being recorded as SOON as the other party, who was under investigation, answered the phone. 🤦🏾‍♀️🙄🤬 I live in a state where only one party has to know of and consent to having a call be recorded. Because of the variations in recording laws in different states, I feel like the Rev app should ask the user if they want the recording notification on or off during initial download and setup of the app and user account details. Other than that, it’s a good call recording app.

Hi there, thank you for your review. You can also head to the Settings section of the app to find options for 1-party states regarding the announcement.

Good recordings, slightly confusing process

The recordings from this app are good enough quality for what I need. The only reason I’m not rating 5 stars is because the process of actually recording the call is a little complicated. The instructions it gives on the app weren’t exactly right.
When I select the button to start a new outgoing call, it prompts me to type in the number I want to call, then it prompts me to call Rev. but after I call the app, it doesn’t automatically put in the number I said I was calling; instead I had to click “add call” and type the number in again. Then once the person picked up, I clicked “merge calls” like it says to. After all that, I usually have about 30 seconds of no audio, which I then trim using the app.
For incoming calls, this was even more difficult because I had to pick up the incoming call and quickly get into the app and select the button to record an incoming call. The after merging the calls, I had to ask the person on the other line to repeat what they said.
Since I’m mostly recording outgoing calls, and don’t mind the process now that I know how to do it, it’s all fine. I just wish the app was a little less complicated

Great app!

This app is a lifesaver! I am the type of person that gets overwhelmed, stressed out, and easily forgets conversations, almost immediately after hanging up the phone. Since I usually allow my feelings get the best of me, it is hard for me to remember, verbatim, what subject matters are covered during each call. Because details or even 1 small word, like “yes” or “no”, is so detrimentally crucial, during these phone calls, I have to remember, verbatim, what is is said, how it’s said, the context it’s said in, etc., this app is a lifesaver!!

This app is beneficial in so many different ways...I.E.: lawsuits of any kind, making verbal agreements, listing details via phone when there’s no pen or paper handy, etc., this app can be used for anything! So far, in the past three years, this is the best way I’ve found to reference my conversations and any details that I need to be concrete!

I recommend this app to everyone & anyone who suffers from anxiety, gets overwhelmed easily, or just flat out cant remember 1 conversation to next. This app will keep your story straight, it will remind you of the smallest detail, it will remind you of the largest detail, it improves the quality of the way you repeat things to others…
