User Reviews

Most reviews praise the app as good and capable, with some noting clear video quality. However, pervasive privacy concerns about background recording, potential data transfer, and spyware-like behavior dominate the negative feedback. Reliability issues—random stops, corrupted files, and startup delays—further hurt user experience, alongside playback/format problems and dubious 4K support. Overall sentiment is split: positive when it works, but significant privacy and stability concerns recur across many reviews.

Pros

General positive reception: reviewers frequently describe the app as good, amazing, or best.
Background recording capability is mentioned by multiple users (silent recording with the screen off).
When functioning, video quality is reported as clear with uninterrupted sound.

Cons

Major privacy and security concerns: reports of background recording without consent and potential data transfer/malware-like behavior.
Reliability and bugs: recordings stop unexpectedly, videos become corrupted, start delays occur, and timer/loop features often malfunction.
Playback/compatibility issues: cannot play saved videos, changes in aspect ratio (square), and inconsistent 4K performance on some devices.

Recent reviews

Issue : Recording stops even when Volume Down presses are far apart. Recording stops even when the two Volume Down presses are separated by a long interval (e.g., 30+ seconds). The first press remains pending indefinitely, so any later second press is treated as a valid double-press.
