These are the best audio recording apps for iOS and Android that offer what others don't. They allow you to save in different formats, export to cloud services and even record phone calls.

Available for iOS and Android

Let's be clear: there are tons of apps for recording meetings and interviews. Some even let you bookmark important parts of recordings.

For example, let's say you're recording a conference call and the presenter is talking about things you don't care about. Once you get to the interesting part, you can tap your iPhone screen to add a bookmark.

Five minutes later, he says nonsense again. It's time to tap the screen again to add another exit marker.

When you proceed to listen, the app will start with the interesting parts instead of making you listen to the whole session. You can use this app to send the complete recordings to Dropbox or Google Drive.

Bookmarked audio tracks are saved as individual .m4a files, although the full recording is also available. In addition, you can classify recordings using project folders.

Conclusion: If you record a lot of audio, some apps can save you a lot of time and frustration.

Call Recording - ACR

Call recording - ACR is a very useful call recording app that automatically starts recording when you receive a call (ACR stands for "Automatic Call Recording").

It also gives you, among other things, the possibility to save the recordings in the cloud (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, WebDAV, FTP, WebHooks, email), add bookmarks and protect them with a password.

The application is free, which means that from time to time you will get an advertisement. If you prefer not to have advertising, you will have to pay €1.99 for the premium version.

Call Recorder - Cube ACR

Call Recorder - Cube ACR is one of the few apps that can also record conversations via VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) services, Hangouts (limited time), WhatsApp, Skype, Viber, Facebook, Line, Slack, Telegram , among others.

This feature doesn't work on all devices, so please install and test the app first.

This application is different from the others in another aspect, because it has no ads and that makes it completely free.

VoiceRecord Pro

A good audio recording app for iOS is Voice Record Pro (free, but you can pay €2.99 for the version without ads), ideal for storing audio and music.

You can record in various formats (including MP3 and WAV) and share your files on Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Box and SoundCloud. This app also has a bookmark feature.

Easy Voice Recorder Pro

For Android users, Easy Voice Recorder Pro ($3.99) is an excellent quality option that also allows you to record in multiple formats, raise the input volume, and automatically skip moments of silence.

However, for many users the free version will be more than enough, but don't expect advanced features like bookmarks or phone call recording.

The free version is perfect for simply recording the sound from the microphone and clearly displays the incoming signal. Among other things, you have the option to set the recorded audio as a ringtone.

TapeACall

Unfortunately, none of the above three apps to record phone calls work. If this is your main goal, try TapeACall Pro ($10/year).

You will be able to record an unlimited number of incoming and outgoing calls without having to pay extra per call or per minute as other similar applications do.

You will need to make some configuration changes and you have to keep in mind that your calls will be stored on a server. From there you can download them to your iPhone. Luckily, the processing doesn't take long.

Don't get confused with the other app of the same name on this list. Call Recorder for Android is a good app that allows you to save the recordings to Dropbox and Google Drive.

In addition, you can protect access to the app and recordings with a PIN code.

This is the most popular phone call recording app. Call Recorder is completely free and can record your conversations in high quality without too much configuration.
