Your app is awesome, works perfectly but the lack of menu of calls/contacts history the only issue that makes this app much inconvenient than others. Is it possible to wait for that feature in next updates?

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a good idea, but I probably won't implement it because I want to keep BCR as simple as possible.

I'll leave this issue open in case I change my mind in the future.

That will definitely make your app best of call recorders for android 9+

All the recording apps I know have a mass of options, have a list of recorded calls, require multiple permissions, unfortunately most can't record calls from Android 10 or 11.
BCR is minimal and works, it's a huge advantage and it's the best.

This module is best, i think it is better to keep it this way because it is minimal and works flawlessly.

I do agree that this app is the best one available nowadays, and it works without any issue but... 😂 a very minimal and simple list of recordings would be appreciated.

It'll be useful to keep the recordings folder clean in an easy way, no need to use a file manager.

Well, also being able to play recordings straight from the list will be a plus 🙄

I also believe that a minimal approach is better because call history is already in the phone app. The problem being, is if you have a list of historic calls in bcr, what naturally comes next is the ability to play these recordings from that list, which adds complexity if the user has already deleted a file behind the scenes etc.

Suggestion If BCR outputs some kind of database/json file, a "call logs viewer" app could be built separately

At this point, I'm going to close this issue because it's unlikely I'll ever implement it, in the spirit of keeping the code as simple as possible.

I might add a shortcut within BCR to directly open a file manager to the output directory, but I won't be adding a recording list to BCR itself.

I like this idea and it's simple to implement, so I've opened #380 for this. It'd be useful for other use cases too.

Long pressing the output directory preference will open the file
manager. This normally uses DocumentsUI, but if any 3rd party file
manager supports receiving intents with the
`vnd.android.document/directory` type, then the user will be able to
choose from the system or 3rd party file manager.

Issue: #135

In the next version of BCR, if you long press the output directory, BCR will open it in the system file manager (#383). Hopefully this makes it at least a little bit easier to access the recordings 🙂

Here you are: BCR-GUI
