Pros & Cons:

Pros

  • Covertly record conversations
  • Schedule record times and lengths
  • Can email audio file

Cons

  • Features lack: Does not recording in-call voice conversations (however laws govern this feature)

Features:

Informant Android App is a stealthy way to record conversations using your Android phones. It does not record voice conversations while in a phone call, if you want that feature try Google Voice by pressing #4 on dial pad (limited to incoming calls only). This app is more for secretly recording a conversation speak-phone style. Note: if your recorded subject is far away, recording volume will reflect. You can set the app to record a specified amount of time during a set period of time, or record immediately. It works while the phone is sleep. Recordings can be played back and can be sent email. Even place a PIN code password in the case you get busted recording, the evidence would have to be locked.

Usefulness:

Most all use cases I can think of for the app seem to have some legal agenda attached (either that or busting your mate). If using the app for those purposes please check your state and Federal laws as the recording may not be permissible in court. I recently recommended it to a friend whose employer was harassing her behind closed doors.

Ease of Use:

Easy. Choose to either schedule recordings or record now.

    Good and VITAL advice. Here in PA, voice recording is NOT permitted unless BOTH parties are aware in advance. Violating this will result in fines and jail. I wholly support the need for an app like this but users, please follow the law.
