There are times when you feel the need to record a conversation and sadly, iPhones don’t have the call recording feature built right into the operating system. We cannot blame Apple here, as recording calls is illegal in several countries including the US.
But there are times when we feel the need to record a conversation and as with every other missing feature on iOS, we go ahead and look in the App Store for apps that might meet our need. Well, there are a plethora of apps for everything you need on the Apple App Store and call recording is no exception. You will find a number of apps that bring the ability to record calls but how to choose the best out of them.Well, fret not, as we tell you the top 10 call recording apps for your iPhone.
1. TapeACall Pro
TapeACall Pro is by far the best call recording app on iPhone. Sure it’s not free, in fact it’s very pricey but if you need a good and working call recorder on your iPhone, TapeACall Pro might be the best option. You can record unlimited incoming and outgoing calls with TapeACall Pro. Recordings are available to the user in an instant and there are various sharing options for the recording. You can share recordings via text, Facebook or Twitter or you can upload your recordings to Dropbox, Google Drive etc.. There’s also an option to send it to yourself as an email.
TapeACall Lite lets you record your calls limit-lessly but you can only hear the first 60 seconds of the recording. With the Pro version, you have no such costs and you can use the app for any period you want.
The TapeACall Pro version is priced at $9.99, which is certainly pricey but the app is the best you can get on an iPhone. The app is available for iOS 6 and later.
2. Call Recorder – IntCall
Call Recorder – IntCall is another good automatic call recording app for the iPhone. You will need to dial a number from within the app to record calls and calls will be placed under Call Recorder – IntCall’s VOIP servers. There’s ability to play your recordings right from your phone. You can share the recordings via email or you can sync them with iTunes on your PC. You can also set a title for the recordings, so that they are easy to find.
The app is free to download from the Apple App Store but you will need to purchase credits to dial more numbers from the app. The app is available for iOS 4.3 or later.

3. Call Log Pro
Call Log Pro is another call recording app for the iPhone. It has the ability to record outgoing calls made from the app. The app is said to work better when WiFi is on board although you can use it when you are offline as well. The call recorder is free for the first two minutes of your call but after that you’ll need to pay as an in-app purchase to record more. All your recordings are saved in the call log section of the app.
The call recordings are saved on the developer’s private server, which is secured, so you don’t have to worry about your recordings coming out in the public. Overall, Call Log Pro is a pretty satisfactory call recording app for the iPhone. Call Log Pro is available for iOS 4.3 or later over at the App Store for free.

4. Call Recorder FREE
Call Recorder FREE is an app that lets you record both the incoming and outgoing calls. When you’re on a call, you can tap the record button on the app and the app will dial its recording number, then you’ll have to merge the calls to start recording. For outgoing calls also, you’ll need to dial the recording number first and then dial the person you want to talk to and merge these calls for recording. You can also Download and share recordings via Email, iMessage, Twitter, Facebook, and Dropbox.

5. Call Recorder Plus
Call Recorder Plus is a credit based call recorder for the iPhone where you pay for what you record. There’s no subscription fee within the app but you will need to pay for credits and 10 credits = 10 recordings up to 60 minutes each. This is a good call recorder for people who do want to record a call for just once or want to pay when they need it. You can record incoming and outgoing calls with the app.
The app is available for $3.99 on the App Store and the app is available for iPhones running iOS 6 and higher.

6. Edigin Call Recorder
Edigin Call Recorder is a cloud based call recorder for the Apple iPhone that records your incoming and outgoing calls on the cloud. The app uses cloud based services to route your mobile calls through its data centers, so that your calls can be recorded. Once the call is recorded on the cloud, you can go ahead and search, play and download the recording.
Note: Sadly, you will need an Edigin account before you can use the app. We guess since it’s illegal in some countries, the app wants you to sign a contract. Anyways, if you are willing to do that, the app is available for free on the App Store and it requires iOS 7 or later.

8. Call Recorder – VoIP phone calls & recorder
With all the call recorders for iPhone featuring the same call recorder moniker, you can be easily confused. Well, this is another call recording app but it only records outgoing calls made over its VoIP server. The recording feature is free but you’ll be needed to pay for the VoIP calls you make. Good for an occasional prank, don’t you think?
The calls made are best when you have a WiFi or a 3G connection. The app also features ability to backup all the recordings on iTunes. It is available for free on the App Store and it requires iOS 5.1.1 or later.

10. Google Voice
This might have hit you by surprise, as most of the people aren’t aware that the Google Voice app lets you record your calls.

Once you enable the feature, you will be able to record incoming calls on your iPhone by pressing 4 and you can stop the recording by pressing 4 again.
Since, the app is brought to you by Google, there’s a lot of stability here. Sadly, you can only record incoming calls with the app.

So, here they are! These are the top 10 call recorder apps you can get on your iPhone. We agree that not a single app is perfect and they all come with their own limitations but you have to keep in mind that iOS is a pretty secure OS and call recording is illegal in several countries, thus so many limited apps for the feature.

Well, do tell us if you know of any call recording app for iPhone we might have missed out.
iPhone is CRAP. Total crap. Such a usefull think and it cant doit. Thats why many years im using Android phones. We are talking about PHONES stupid Apple.
It is legal to keep this record when the “threat crime” is made by telephone call, and it makes it difficult for us to make a voice record, which is the only prostitution on the phone.
Why are there no truly “automatic” call recorders. In order to record a incoming or outgoing call numbers have to be dialed in to or buttons need to be pressed. I want one that just records, preferably to the phone itself and not to a cloud.
Because it’s against the law in some countries
It is against the law to memorize my own phone calls, so I can later listen to them and write down any details I maybe forgot after few days? I am a business user so for me, it is the most important, to be able to listen my calls with my clients and hear again exactly what I prommised to them. By recording my private phone calls and keeping them private for ever, is agains the law? I won’t share them. My recordings are ment for personal notes only. Sadly, this is the main reason I will never use iOS and will stick to Android which has no issues with such a stupid law interpretation. How Apple then allows public phone calls, where everybody on a bus hears what I talk?

I have a LG K7 phone and have installed several automatic call recorder. When I play them, I cannot hear the call. My friend has an older phone and has the automatic caller (the icon that has the cassette tape in black and gold). His works fine. Is there one I can download that works for my phone.
Yes
