Review summary

Top positives: effective background recording and a favorable one-time-purchase model with ad-free options, plus discreet operation for public use. Main drawbacks cited across reviews include unstable recording with occasional stops, inability to save or share videos to the phone (videos stay in-app), intrusive ads and unclear instructions, and limited photo capture and live preview features. Overall, the app covers the core function but reliability, media management, and UX issues limit its value for many users.

Pros

Core feature: background/continuous video recording in foreground or background with configurable settings.
One-time payment model with an ad-free premium option and modular feature purchases (no subscription).
Discreet operation suitable for public use (vlogging without drawing attention).
Generally reliable in everyday use and performs as described by several users.
Simple, straightforward basic recording for quick tasks.

Cons

Videos cannot be saved or exported to the phone/gallery; media stays within the app.
Recording can stop unexpectedly or exhibit bugs, reducing reliability.
Ads are frequent/intrusive and usage instructions are unclear.
Photo capture is difficult or non-functional (can't figure out how to take pictures).
No live preview during recording (black screen) limits monitoring of what’s being recorded.

2026-01-25	WH*****	perfectly made, exactly what I needed. AND ITS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION FEE BUT A ONE TIME PAYMENT. This application will record video perfectly in the background, or foreground on command and will do it continuously dependant upon the settings you choose. Also, the permium version is ad free and is somewhat modular meaning you can purchase just specific features if you so choose. very cool. very useful. one of my all time favorite app purchases ever. thank you dev! good work!

2025-10-01	Ma*****	Would've gave 5 stars (a couple/few months ago) but the app all of a sudden stopped saving the recordings to gallery/phone... Kind of a deal breaker. I will be searching for a new app... No, slow motion, no fastforward/rewind where you can see where you're at in the vid, ect. Makes the app trash as far as I'm concerned... Once I find an app that does the same but saves vids and pics to your phone/gallery, I will be uninstalling this app
