With a straightforward and good-looking interface, you can set the app to record call easily. The app will delete old recordings automatically, but you can avoid this by marking a recording as important. Another interesting feature of the call recording app is that you can exclude a particular phone number from being recorded. ACR doesn’t allow you to record WiFi or VoIP calls, which means you can only record cellular calls.
