Audio Recorder allows users to record audio from their Android smartphone. Most smartphones come with a built-in audio recording solution. Nonetheless, this particular app offers more customization options for capturing recordings than other solutions. A smooth design and sensible layout make the app pleasurable to use. Anyone that needs to record audio clips with any frequency should consider this app for download.

The app is ready to use after download and installation with no signup required. Pressing the Record button immediately starts a recording that's then saved to the device. Before getting started, users can customize the audio recording parameters. Settings include the overall quality of the recording and whether it's recorded in Stereo or Mono sound. Most audio recording apps don't offer these features, so they're a nice addition.

Within Audio Recorder, recordings are organized in a simple list format. They can be moved or deleted in bulk with ease. It's a basic organization system that works well for most users. However, Audio Recorder does come with certain flaws. The app is prone to freezing and crashing, whether it occurs during a recording or not. Users cannot convert their audio files into other formats with this app and will need another conversion app.

In the end, Audio Recorder gets the job done with quality recordings. Nothing is worse than the app crashing during a recording, though. Most users won't encounter this issue too frequently, and other recording apps suffer from similar issues. Without a doubt, Audio Recorder is worth a download for users that want more control over their recordings.
