Some manufacturers include apps to record voice on Android, but not all. For example, it is not part of pure Android and therefore mobile phones with Android One such as Xiaomi Mi A2 and company do not include it. Luckily, Google Play comes to the rescue, as always.
Applications to record the voice there are tens and hundreds, but some of them have not been updated for years or do not work too well. In this list, you will find only the best apps to record voice on Android for free, at least in its basic version.
The best apps to record voice on Android
Sony Recorder
Sony is one of the manufacturers that has its own recorder and has the good work of sharing it with the rest of mortals (in part because it complements professional microphones of the brand). The application is very well polished, stable and with a nice design.
As for its functions, besides being compatible with stereo microphones, it is able to add filters to normalize the sound or reduce background noise, as well as cut and share the recordings easily.

Voice Recorder
The interface is a bit of a while ago, but the truth is that it is quite intuitive to use and keeps you well aware of both the duration of the recording and the size of the resulting file. There is no time limit, so you can record as much as it fits in the mobile memory.
The recording is of quality but keeping a small file size, because it records in MP3 or OGG, with a customizable sample rate, from 8 to 44 kHz. After recording, you can trim the result, share it with other applications or set the recording as a ringtone.

Easy voice recorder
Similar, although with a somewhat more polished interface, it is easy Voice Recorder. It has the advantage that you can choose the name of the file beforehand and otherwise, it is, as its name suggests, quite simple, with no buttons or other options that stand in your way.
However, it hides some powerful features. The magic wand icon hides the function of canceling echo and reducing noise, and from the settings, you can modify the sound quality, the coding (WAV, M4A or 3GP), as well as the sampling rate (from 8 kHz to 48 kHz).

Recordr
Recordr is one of the best applications to record voice on Android. The free version will surely be enough in most cases and comes loaded with customization options.
The strong point is the recording profiles, in which you can define the type of quality and compression that will be used in the recording. The application comes well loaded with predefined profiles, but you can also create your own ones. Before recording, you can easily choose a profile from the side panel.

Parrot
Parrot is another great favorite of the masses and the same thing is useful for recording an interview as a music session or a phone call: he dares everything, although some of these features are exclusive of the paid version, which requires a monthly subscription.
The interface allows you to easily choose the type of quality and if you want the recording to automatically cut the rests. Among the available effects are the suppression of noise, echo cancellation, and audio normalization.

SnipBack
SnipBack is a bit different from the previous ones: it is something like the time-shift of the TV, but for the voice recording. That is, the application is always listening, but not recording. The 10 sec, 30 sec and 5 min buttons allow you to go back in time to hear what was said 10 seconds ago, 30 seconds and 5 minutes.
When finished you can record the entire session in an audio file. It may be a little complicated to get hold of the handling at first, but if you need to quickly listen to what was said, it is a good option.

I took
Cogi is somewhat similar to SnipBack, but with more features. He also listens, but does not record until you tell him, and allows you to retrace your steps to capture only the most important.
It is specially designed to take notes, and has the curious -and useful- function of allowing you to attach photos (from the board, for example) and text notes to the sessions, to accompany the recordings.
