## Review summary

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.
