Comments on Recorder for Android

★★★★☆ KentBeattyMusic · Oct 30, 2026

Handy app for quick recording, oddly it was missing the stereo toggle yesterday, now it's back (?) I like it not being too bloated, but please add simple quality (low, med, high). Exporting to M4A is kinda weird but it works. Please, less AI and more simple audio, and less opting in to services without user knowledge and insisting on backups. Happy to use it offline like a field recorder.

★★★★☆ ES · Jun 12, 2026

Good for speech-focused recordings (audio quality and absence of other controls and features makes it irrelevant for music recordings). I have a Google Pixel and I love it... But, for Google and Google Android Users, it would have been better if this app was not a Pixel-exclusive.

★★★★☆ Dushan Chanuka · Aug 14, 2026

App is good, but there's a small issue. If you can find a way to stop notification sounds (SMS sounds, Ringtones etc.) while recording that would be great.

Impossible to get a recorded file out of the app into phone storage. Every other recorder, hardware and software, stores a file of the recording. This one says it stored your file on the device, but it cannot be Found in the Recordings folder. Or anywhere else for that matter. I had to press Share to send the audio file to myself via another app to download it to the phone where it was recorded. Will be disabling this until a normal basic record to file is more intuitive to use

★☆☆☆☆ Dog/* · Aug 20, 2026

Cannot view my own recordings in a file app. Look, I understand you want us to use the online functionality, but why are you taking away features from people who don't want that? Why do I need root access to the files that I've personally recorded? Why do I need to select every single recording (max 100) to "export" just so I can "access" the recording file? This app works great with my pixel and has a transcript function on that works device, why can't I access these files on device then?

Recorded files are nowhere to be found, so it's a useless app, another fail by google...
