## Review summary

Overall, reviewers praise the app for its good look and usefulness, and its stealth features for discreet recording. However, multiple reviews report reliability and stability issues on certain devices, including start failures and crashes, plus problems with scheduling recordings. Users also want stronger secrecy options (hiding the app) and clearer error feedback. The app has strong appeal but needs fixes for compatibility, reliability, and stealth features.

### Pros

- Stealth/secretive recording features (discreet start via voice, hiding the app)
- Looks good / polished UI with a positive first impression
- Generally useful and easy to use

### Cons

- Reliability issues: cannot start recording or recording fails on some devices
- Compatibility and stability problems on certain devices (e.g., Samsung Z Fold 4, Vivo TX4) including crashes when opening settings
- Scheduling feature often fails and lacks clear error logging or feedback
- Secrecy improvements needed: more options to hide/keep the app stealthy
