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.

I've had this app for many years and I keep it because I so 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, audio quality is great, it is easy to use. The one reason I chose this app was I needed a recorder that automatically paused when all was silent. I still find that very useful.

Update: it's 2025, only a year after my previous edit but 10yrs since my first, and I just want to ask the developer: Can I give you money!?! SVR is entirely the best recorder. I love love love it!! I don't have much $$ becausemy job was outsourced (last day is 7/31, but can I at least send you $20 for a lunch? :) Edit: Still using this app in 2024. Love this so much. So easy to use and picks up sound very clearly. Original review from 2015: No complaints. Does what I need it to.

So there AREN'T ADS EVERY FIVE SECONDS. I open this when i have song ideas. I record my guitar, and it picks up REALLY WELL. I'll be at work and randomly get a song idea. BOOM. This app is literally my stim shot. Keeps all of your recordings in a folder so you DONT LOSE THEM. Would give this a 10 star if i could. This beats most apps out there... by a LONG mile.
