Google Voice
by Google
Google Voice needs no introduction, its features and uses are well known, but one feature that not many know exists in Google Voice is the ability to record calls. This can be achieved by pressing the number four while in a received call. With the price of free and no hidden fees, Google Voice is a winner. If you really want to get a lot of features for phone calls that happen to include recording then go with Google Voice, you will not regret it.

Recorder
by Retronyms
Recorder is a great app for recording outgoing calls. Although you have to pay for the time you record, the price is not much and the app overall works as expected. You can even edit the recordings when you are finished. If you are looking to record outgoing phone calls, then look no further; Recorder will do the job.

EonPhone - VOIP
by Discover Calling, Inc
EonPhone is not so much a call recorder as it is a full VOIP client. The advantage to this is that you can record incoming and outgoing calls. Another benefit is that the app integrated with the contacts app built in the iPhone itself. With that comes another number that you can use for other purposes. EonPhone charges a reasonable flat $10 a month price for their service and is, overall, a decent option for recording calls. However, if you do not need all of the VOIP features, then you may want to skip this one.

Call Recording
by TPS Games
Call Recording is a different type of recording app that can record incoming and outgoing calls. The way it works is that before making or receiving a call, you go to the app and press record. The app will then make another call which you must merge with the call you want to record. The service costs ten dollars a month and is a decent option for those who want to record calls.

CallRec.me
by MotionApps
CallRec.me is a good and bad call recording app. On the surface, the app works great, it does exactly what you would expect it to do and it even tries to transcribe your recorder audio into text. Unfortunately, there are many cons that keep the app from being a number one choice. For starters, while the app is free, it costs a bit more than other apps for its use. Also there are are times where the app does not record an entire conversation which is a huge problem for an app that has the single task of recording a call. Overall, this app is not well supported and is a bit overpriced as well.

FNB Connect Phone
by FNB Connect
FNB Connect Phone is another VOIP solution that can record calls of up to 100 minutes. The app has many features that are useful for those who are interested in the voice functionality however, if you are looking to record conversations then this may not be the ideal app for you due to its recording time limit.

PhoneTap
by Clever Panda LLC
There is not much to say about PhoneTap except that it doesn’t work. While it seems like it records conversation like its supposed to, in actuality nothing is happening. I had a hard time finding the recordings and some recordings just didn't record at all. Stay away from this app if you actually need your recordings to work.
