★☆☆☆☆ Muhammad · Oct 27, 2026
I don't have doubt on Samsung technology, but this is still mystery for me how to operate Samsung voice recorder for voice calling.
★★☆☆☆ Rob Hall · Sep 25, 2026
I've used this app for years, and it's always been OK, although it would fail to record several times when it was critical. Now it's doing it all the time. It stops recording if I turn the screen off, and I don't have power saver on, and it has full permissions. I can't seem to figure out how to keep it recording while the screen is off.
