Get your utility apps from fdroid. All open source and actually do what you want them to.

Is it more or less a replacement for Play Store?

If possible, F-Droid could/should be used as your first stop for looking for a particular app or type of app. Obviously you won’t find Tumblr on there, but it’s got you covered for replacement apps for things like SMS messages, a photo gallery, a calculator, flashlight, notepad, file editor… You get the idea.

It’s a fully open sourced app store for android. The code of all apps in the F-Droid repository are reviewed before being made available. So this is why the F-Droid version wont have these settings, as it’ll be an older version.

Simplest path is probably to use the old simple mobile tools recorder app on fdroid, which won’t be getting any updates. Fossify will likely release their recorder app very shortly, which will essentially be the next update for the smt recorder app.
It is already under active development, they just haven’t gotten the first release yet.

Edit:
Another interesting one is DroidRec. It is usually used and seen as a screen recorder, but it has three simple toggles for screen video, device audio, and microphone. If you turn off screen and device audio, it becomes a very nice voice recorder.

I just tried that app and every time I try to record from mic only the app just closes when hitting the record button and it creates a 0 byte file. Does this actually work for anyone else?

Is a good advice but for the ‘Simple’ apps doesn’t make difference, all ‘Simple’ apps listed in the f-droid will not receive updates.

Didn’t “simple” recently get acquired and is no longer to be trusted? Correct if wrong but isn’t Fossify the new preferred fork?
