Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Echo

Unless saved, recordings are deleted on a rolling basis. record harassment and bullying (even when you didn't anticipated them) save important pieces of information (phone numbers / passwords / instructions) record cute/funny moments prove that someone said (or didn't say) something Limitations The app employs a range of tricks to reduce battery usage but it's still draining quite a bit. You'll have to check your device to see how it affects your battery. Battery drain is comparable to having constant audio playback.
