Given the vast tool set brought to our fingertips by the modern-day smartphone, we often completely overlook the bread-and-butter features such as the ability to make calls and sending SMS messages. But while we have an abundance of utilities and services allowing us to stay connected with each other in ways we could only have dreamt about a few years ago, most of us still commonly engage in the same voice calls we were making long before the likes of Facebook and Skype took over our lives. As such, apps extending the basic phone feature remain abundant, and the app we're featuring here today not only offers business-level call recording, but arrives complete with a number of great features.

Apple's next-generation iPhone is said to be just a few weeks shy of its official announcement, but even though the length of time between now and September 9th isn't particularly extensive, it's an age in blogosphere terms. If the purported date turns out to be true, then we'll certainly see a few dozen more leaks as that key date approaches, and having seen a number of schematic drawings in recent times, a new sketch apparently details the protruding nature of the rear-facing camera component.
Everybody likes a freebie, and on a daily basis, we strive to bring you the very best app deals for your iOS-running devices. Today, as ever, we're back with another cluster of paid apps and games gone completely free, and below, you'll find the download links.
As consumers, we tend to focus on the more obvious new features when assessing the improvements being made to a new device. In the case of the iPhone 6, we've mainly concentrated on the slicker, thinner form factor and larger display, but as per the sizeable pile of evidence relating to Apple's next handset, there's plenty else to look forward to besides. It has been mentioned on several occasions that the device will pack improved connectivity, with faster Wi-Fi and cellular, and a new tidbit of info may finally have offered some key details on the latter.
Google has just released Photo Sphere Camera app for iPhone, allowing users to capture panoramic, 360 degree snaps and share them with others. With Maps support permitting users to geo-tag their photos, others can then search for images of any destination around the globe just by placing a pin on the Big G's virtual map. More details, as ever, can be seen after the jump.
The higher echelons of the Android market were once completely dominated by Samsung, and after several marked failures, Taiwanese outfit HTC stopped being 'quietly' brilliant and actually delivered a device worthy of some fanfare. The HTC One M7 last year has since been followed up with the One M8, and with a slick design and great features, is a worthy competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S5. With Android fans having been catered to, HTC has decided to broaden its horizons, releasing a Windows Phone 8.1 edition exclusively to Verizon. Specs, pricing, and other such details can be seen below.
Apple's iPhone 6 is set to be announced early on next month, and although we've seen much of the 4.7-inch model, the supposedly delayed, 5.5-inch variant has continued to elude us. While not offering any direct evidence of the larger edition, a new leak does offer some clues as to how the larger form factor of the iPhone 6 will still be comfortable to use with one hand.
The Moto 360 smartwatch from Motorola is likely to ship next month, with the company having just sent out emails requesting shipping information from I/O attendees. As ever with Google's major developers' gathering, there was plenty of free stuff on hand for those who turned up, and with most having opted for the endearing aesthetics of Motorola's first ever smartwatch in the pick-and-mix of gadgets offered, we may now have a decent idea as to when it will roll out to consumers.
Amid the abundance of iPhone 6-related coverage, we've been unable to dispel the on-off rumor that the device's display will be laden in the tougher, albeit more expensive sapphire glass material. Not only would it be more robust, but also clearer, and with better scratch resistance than the current Gorilla Glass formula, would render the device much more rugged overall.
Motorola has sent out invitations to a special press event to be held on September 4th, and along with the impressive-looking Moto 360 smartwatch, the formerly Google-owned company will take the wraps off two new smartphones and some kind of head-mounted gadget. It's quite an exciting prospect, particularly given that Samsung is likely to take the wraps off the Note 4 and, in all likelihood, another addition to its 'Gear' smartwatch line-up the day before on September 3rd. Unlike Samsung's event, which will head off IFA in Berlin, Germany, Motorola's big announcements will take place in Chicago, United States, and as well as more info regarding the beautiful Moto 360, the successor to the heavily-lauded Moto X should also be on the agenda.
