Never Miss a Moment

Capturing candid moments just got a whole lot easier! No more storing minutes or hours of video because you’re afraid of missing a highlight. Decide how much to save after the highlight has already happened.

How many times do we stop recording because of storage limitations or time wasted clipping and cutting large amounts of footage? Ever miss capturing a highlight because of that?

When you open the app a recording loop begins immediately. Wait for the highlight to happen and then choose the amount of time you want saved to your camera roll. The app immediately saves the chosen amount and begins recording again.

Capturing everything from a sports highlight to a baby’s first words. Your camera roll is about to be full with only highlights!

User Reviews

Only Highlights Camera is praised for its simple, easy-to-use design and its ability to record continuously while saving only highlights, making it a time-saver for sports and family moments. Reviewers love not editing and not filling storage, and the option to capture photos too. Common downsides center on output quality and reliability: compression limits, update-related bugs (orientation/saving), and occasional device-specific stability issues. Overall, it’s convenient but quality and reliability depend on version and device.

Pros

Extremely easy to use with a simple, intuitive interface.
Saves a lot of time by continuously recording and only keeping the highlights.
Keeps long footage off the device, reducing storage and editing needs.
Excellent for sports and kids' events; helps capture key moments.
Allows taking pictures as well, adding versatility and convenience.

Cons

Video output quality is compressed and not as good as the default camera app; limited high-resolution options.
Update-related reliability issues (e.g., orientation changes to vertical video after updates and reports of unreliable saves).
Some device-specific stability problems (e.g., iPad landscape crashes and Apple Watch instability) that affect usability on certain hardware.
Lack of advanced video settings (no option to adjust resolution or frame rate).

Recent reviews

This app is extremely simple and easy to use. It does well what it says it does. However, I have used it for a week or two, and noticed that the video quality is not as well as the default camera app. It’s heavily compressed and you can clearly see some artifacts from the compression. That’s fine for casual use, but I would not use the app for precious moments like your baby’s first steps. The quality is not good enough for once-in-a-lifetime moments. Update: there is a new issue after the latest update. This app now shoots only vertical videos. This may be OK for some people, but it is a deal breaker for the rest of us.

This was an amazing app, but a recent update makes me abandon it and go back to my camera. Please bring back the timer. The majority of the time it does not save the videos. Disappointing because it was our go to for a long time.
