Reviews for TapeACall: Call Recorder

Response to the response: So pretty much, the "free" tag on the play store is a lie. I know why you guys won't list it as a paid app for a one time purchase as well. It's just following the trend of modern society where you have to subscribe to everything. There should at least be an option when you download it to buy it outright, alongside the subscription model. It would probably cost the user more to buy, but would pay off in the long run as that's one less subscription draining their money.

The app worked well. I just didn't need it any longer. Cancelled but the subscription renewal went through anyway. Not only that it was 3 times the original amount. So they charged my Paypal $149.59. I complained to Paypal who agreed and gave me a refund. Unfortunately, due to a typo in my complaint they only refunded the .59. So I paid for a full year essentially and my subscription is cancelled and the app is unusable. Reaching TapACall impossible. A rip off.

I was offered the option of the $5.99+tax plan or the 7-day fee trial for $39.99+tax, so I picked the $5.99 package. It was supposed to be a one time fee. Over two days I used it three times and found out i was getting charged each time. I contacted customer care and they quoted me two different prices. They never mentioned the $5.99 deal that was listed on their app. The quotes I got were for either $39.99 or $59.99. This really sucks because the app does work like it's supposed to.

Always try the free trial first. I installed the app, paid for the yearly service, allowed all the permissions. However, it never works on a call. I just get a notification on the bottom of my phone to check my subscription... I may contest with my bank if support doesn't reach out with a solution (I did email support).

Scam. Downloaded fine. And that was the end of anything useful. App won't let me past the "optional" subscription. You have to sign up for at least a "free" trial period and give them cc details. But of course you can't unsubscribe, so good luck ever canceling. I can't review the app itself, bulecuase I couldn't use it.

It worked well at first, but now my calls don't merge properly half of the time. I rely on phone call recordings for parts of my job, so it's a huge inconvenience if I don't know whether the call will work or not. I know other people who use it without issues, so I'm not sure what the problem is. I have checked and my issues aren't caused by my cell provider.

I'm very frustrated. I canceled during my free trial, yet was still charged 40 dollars for a year's subscription. I've reached out several times at this point and was told weeks ago that I'd be refunded and nothing ever came. So, folks, if you're fine with paying this scam of an app, try it out. But expect to be fleeced by a company with zero customer service. It's a scam.

I really enjoy this phone recorder. The audio has exceptional sound and easy to use also. Great audio/ phone recorder for any phone, incoming calls or outgoing calls. I haven't had any problems at all with this app. Try it! It looks complicated at first, but it's so easy to use....Just try it, you'll be pleased how easy this Tape A Call is. It's the way to go if you're in need for taping phone calls. Enjoy, because I have for many years. jrh

Very, very glitchy, sometimes I cannot merge call for some unknown reason. Then, I read a review that it alerts someone that they're on a conference call. Why? I'm paying for this. Utter waste of money. Also, I'm not seeing the inbound call on my call record. Why not? Don't waste your money on this. If the call started automatically without the announcement, it'd probably be a five star review. But this app really deserves 1-2 stars at best.

Not suitable for discreet recording, unless the other caller is on an Apple device. Needs better description. You conference call to a third number and then press record. I have an Android phone and the other person, if Android, is alerted on their phone that it is a conference call. There are several steps, including pausing the incoming call, in order to record so practice is necessary. I like how it doesn't record all calls and doesn't need.a separate dialing app, though.

It never worked on my phone. Never used it. Not one time. Couldn't get any reply from technical support or anyone else. Still had to pay the subscription since I didn't cancel within 7 days. I never tried to use tapeacall after the first day and uninstalled it but still had to pay the full year subscription. I would never do business with these people again!

I've been using this app for three years and it works pretty well. If the person you are speaking with does not speak up clearly and directly into their phone the app can struggle to understand what they are saying. It also struggles with some industry jargon. The app is easy to use and it is easy to export the audio to another app I use for transcription.

I'm happy with this app! I can hear both callers loud and clear on the recording, and it's really cool that the call can be transcribed! The only thing is sometimes the transcriber gets the callers confused, and I couldn't figure out how to restart the recording on the same call once I ended the recording. Also, I feel like I should mention that the transcription can be EDITED, so maybe not totally reliable to just go by the transcription.

I'm puzzled by all of the one star reviews. This app works great with my LG Stylo 6. I've tried so many recorders only to be disappointed when they didn't work with Android 10. The voices on both ends are extremly clear. The steps you have to go through in order to record are simple, even a child can do it. They offer you a 7-day free trial. After the trial ends the cost will be under $20 annually or under $3 monthly. A small price to pay when you want good recordings. I will continue to use it.

This App needs work I want to ask for a refund but I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or not. The call recording needs to be automated. I don't have time to click and wait for the call to merge the the other number that is linked to our account. Also the other person that called thinks I hung up on them. The merge takes too many step. I should recorded every call and transcript on demand the calls you choose. I want a refund my subscription is paused because of the problems I am having with this app. They need to fix it is doesn't work like it was promoted. Four steps to record every call is too many. Too mush time wasted.

it works better than any other app that you can get for free. the problem with the free apps is that they only work if you put the phone call on speaker, if you don't have it on speaker it's still manages to pick up the call on most apps but you have to edit the audio in boost the volume like crazy or else you can't hear the other side of the call. the main problem I have with this app is that you have to call another "access line" and that take some time. which makes it frustrating.

Awful!!! Not user friendly and they want access to everything on my phone! Not only did not record my call it didn't even transcribe it. You have to agree to a 7 day trial and go e them credit card info. before they even let you through to a screen to verify your phone number. I sent an email to cancel subscription. I hope they don't charge me. Unsubscribing!!!

Please avoid this app. Wouldn't let me past the "optional" paid subscription page to use the app. Also, first asked for my phone number for a "verification" code to use the app, but when I went to enter it, it went straight to the "optional" paid subscription page and wouldn't let me navigate away. The back button doesn't work. The X at the top right of the screen doesn't work.

It's a scam. I downloaded the app, and there was no free option. You must select a monthly or weekly prescription, or do a "free trial" meaning you will get charged after 7 days and in order to keep using it you must subscribe. I chose to do the trial, and test to see if it works and it does not actually do anything. Once you subscribe and go to call someone it says "check your subscription". This is not a technical issue, it's a scam to make you pay to subscribe instead of doing the free trial

The app works on Samsung A-14. It recorded both people alright. If you don't subscribe, you only hear your own voice on the recordings. Very user unfriendly, trying to connect to the app when making or receiving calls. It alerts the other party that they are on a conference call. In short, it snitches you out. Unusable as far as I'm concerned.
