## Review summary

DroidRec is praised for its ad-free, open-source nature and smooth, simple interface that works well offline. Users appreciate its privacy controls and ease of use. However, multiple users report problems with audio recording during screen capture, such as missing mic audio and glitches, and issues with recordings not saving correctly or resulting in zero-byte files. Other common concerns include limited bit rate flexibility, lack of convenient shortcuts for recording control, and sometimes large file sizes.

### Pros

- No ads, providing an uninterrupted user experience.
- Open source and free, promoting trust and accessibility.
- Simple and smooth user interface making it easy to use.
- Works offline with no lag or performance issues.
- Allows defining specific folder access for privacy control.

### Cons

- Audio recording issues, especially mic or internal audio not captured reliably during screen recording.
- Recorded videos sometimes have zero-byte file size or do not save properly.
- Limited options to change bit rate; falls back to default with no customization.
- Lacks convenient shortcuts or notification controls for starting/stopping recordings.
- Occasionally large file sizes for recordings without optimization.
