Best Apps to Record Calls on iPhone

Recording telephone conversations has always been controversial, and in some countries, is still illegal. In Russia, for example, the secrecy of telephone conversations is protected by Article 138 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The consequences of violating this secret can be a fine of 80 thousand rubles and even correctional labor for up to one year.

However, if you and your interlocutor are both warned about the recording of the conversation and agree to it, this criminal article does not apply to you. The penalty applies only if you decide to record someone else’s conversation, whose interlocutor you are not, or your own call, without warning the interlocutor about the recording.

In any case, Apple has chosen to protect itself against using the call recording feature for purposes contrary to the laws of the user’s country, and decided to completely refuse to add call recording to the built-in iPhone functionality. Fortunately, app developers on the AppStore provide iPhone users with the ability to record phone conversations for a fee, and sometimes record calls for free with some restrictions.

Such applications work with the help of a conference call: the user dials the number of the interlocutor, then the service number of the application and merges the calls. You can install such applications only on your device, and often at the beginning of a conversation, the program informs both interlocutors about the recording of the current call, so recording a conversation using applications from the AppStore is legal in our country.

In this article, I’ll talk about how the popular iPhone recorders offered by developers in the App Store work, as well as their cost and additional features.

REKK – Call recording

The first app on our list from a Russian developer: REKK – Call Recorder. It should be noted right away that, like other recorders for iPhone, REKK records calls by creating a conference between the user, the interlocutor and the REKK service number.

The advantage of this application is the presence of several ways to record a call – REKK even has the ability to record a call without opening the application itself. If you are familiar with the process of creating a conference, you will have no problems recording conversations using REKK.

In addition, the application has step-by-step instructions with screenshots, as well as a video instruction on the developer’s website showing how to record incoming and outgoing calls.

Additional application features:

• automatic conversion of conversation into text;
• the ability to share a record in a messenger or via a link;
• quick search for an entry by number, entry name or keyword;
• the ability to leave notes for recorded conversations;
• no restrictions on the number and duration of entries.

To record calls to mobile numbers, you need to purchase a subscription for a week, month or year, while a subscription for a year (999 rubles) will be the most profitable for the user (about 20 rubles per week).

Recostar Pro App

Recostar is one of the few call recording apps on the AppStore that doesn’t require you to set up a conference call and merge calls. The application is supported only in Russia, since when making a recording, the user calls the access number to the call recording platform from the BMI Telecom operator (local number in Moscow). A call to this number is charged as a call to the capital in accordance with the tariffs of the user’s mobile operator.

Additional Recostar Features:

• saving records to the device;
• storage of records in the cloud;
• the ability to share the recorded conversation via email, instant messengers and social networks.

The application is paid, the subscription price ranges from 300 to 3400 rubles and depends on the duration of use and the selected functions.
