Cube Call Recorder

An application with a pleasant interface and fairly broad capabilities for recording any calls. Made in the form of a small widget that works like a switch. The interface of the main part is detailed and rich in the finest settings.

The user is trained before starting work. By default, the app only supports recording phone conversations. But at the same time, you can activate a switch in the settings, which will allow you to try recording conversations through popular instant messengers. After providing all the necessary permissions, such a notification appears in the curtain.

The backup settings (item 'Backup and storage') will save you time and hassle. But most of the features are available in the premium version of the program.

Premium options: copying to Google Drive and Dropbox, automatic uploading to the cloud and deleting local files after the end of the backup. There is also a function that turns off the saving of short calls, also paid.

The Miscellaneous tab hides the geotagging settings and a few visual options like the widget display and the theme of the app itself.

  • Determines the beginning and end of a conversation well.
  • There are many settings, including a backup to the cloud (paid).
