Decent call recording software for Android.

[cashmax]

Did it exist? Used to have a free app the worked ok on my Galaxy S7, but now only records one side of the conversation. Happy to pay for a decent app, but all the reviews seem to suggest they are mostly crap?

Security changes on Android drastically reduced the effectiveness of many of these apps a few years back.
That's not to say there aren't examples which work out there somewhere.
One option to try is to take the call via loudspeaker or an external speaker and see if it records both sides that way. Or via loudspeaker/external speaker and record on another device using a voice recorder app etc

If you have Android 9 then it's not going to happen, as it blocks call recordings unless you go the unlock and root route... Which is a pita etc. If you don't have Android 9 then boldbeast works very well, check the forum for your phone to see what others say about comparability.

As a side note, I have a Oneplus6 with Android 9 and even though the inbuilt call recorder was disabled by Android 9, there is an easy work around to get it working.

Can you please explain how?

Get this from the play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net....
Turn on call recording and service
Turn off battery optimisation for it in the battery settings.
Once installed, go into your phone dialler then settings and enable call recording..
To find your recorded calls, goto the built in recorded app on the phone and swipe left for the recordings.
