Comments on Voice Recorder in Background for Android
★★★★★MoSeZ App· Dec 23, 2025
This program is absolutely fantastic, especially the floating control bar. We just hope you'll add the mp3 extension.
★★★★★Paul O'Connell· Feb 10, 2025
The sound recorder works fantastic. It is like the dash cam app just without the dashcam. 1 thing I would love to see. Can you add geotagging like to you with the dashcam app on playback? Make it optional, of course, for people who feel they don't need it. That would be helpful for people dealing with those who cry wolf all the time.

Best option to record everything in the background and also sound quality is perfect
★★★★☆Margarita Rita· Apr 8, 2026
Could you pleeeease please make a visible sound wave during the playing of recorded audio? It is soooo convenient, and really would make this app even better. Thank you for the recording in the background feature, a lot!

Does not actually record in the background, though pretends to do so. When I leave the app and return to it, the recording seems to still be happening, but when I stop the recording, the file that gets saved stops at the moment I left the app.
★☆☆☆☆Tezzy Murphy· Nov 18, 2025
Not an in call recorder but voice recorder, uninstalled, it's possible that the law has changed here in UK, I've tried over 10 and none work. Horrible they don't want people being recorded it seems, sad to be honest with you.
★☆☆☆☆Pavan kumar· Sep 1, 2025
This is a very good app, but there is an issue, I have scheduled the recording to specific time but at the same time someone called and scheduled recording was started. After that it's not recorded voice it's recorded only calls till that scheduled time is over. So please fix this issue.
