TapeACall: Call Recorder
gamed ratingCall recording via a three-way merge with the TapeACall server. Transcription is available but does not link speakers to phone numbers, only Speaker 1 and Speaker 2. Recording is unreliable on critical calls: the app gives no error signal and simply does not save. Was relevant before iOS 18 but now competes with Apple's built-in call recording.

Strengths
What users love
- Recordings are stored in the cloud without taking up phone storage. Interface is simple. Transcription appears automatically after the call.
Weak spots
What users hate
- Transcription does not link speakers to their phone numbers. Recording an incoming call requires several steps
- Causing the first part of the conversation to be missed. Recording sometimes does not trigger with no error signal. Renaming a file does not save.
Who it is for
Users who occasionally need to record important calls and are willing to pay for cloud storage. Journalists for phone interviews.
