Voice Recorder Pro allows you to perform an advanced search for audio files, as well as offers a number of bitrate options which is perfect for those who do not have much space on their smartphone's internal storage. The bitrate ranges from 48 to 256 kbps, and the app is set at 128 kbps by default.
The tool also allows you to record voice in stereo and mono channels, as well as in M4A, WAV and 3GP formats. In addition, it also offers DVD (48 kHz) and CD (44.1 kHz) quality sampling rates, among others.
Using the app is a very intuitive experience. You get controls such as start, pause, and end for the recording right on the screen.

Voice Recorder Pro offers the option to open third-party audio files, but you would miss out on some basic editing options like removing the beginning and end of an interview or selecting and separating specific excerpts from the files, for example. In order to be able to do that, you will need to use a different app.
On the Google Play Store, the number of reviews is still small but so far it has garnered some rather positive comments. With a rating of 4.4 stars from just slightly less than 150 votes, there is some feedback such as the lack of dark mode in Voice Recorder Pro and the lack of support for other languages apart from English.
