Review summary

Users broadly praise Recap for being easy to use, fast, and capable of professional captions, with strong teleprompter integration and cross-platform efficiency. However, several reviews note stability/loading problems and a desire for more features (e.g., caption box sizing, logo overlays, stroke shadows, and multi-area placement). Overall, it’s a popular, fast-captioning tool with ongoing improvements.

Pros

Easy-to-use, polished UI that makes captioning feel straightforward.
Very fast and accurate captioning with robust word-by-word editing.
Strong teleprompter integration and smooth cross-app workflow.
Saves time by producing captions that work across multiple social platforms without redoing.
Rich styling and layout options that give videos a professional look.

Cons

Stability and loading issues: some videos fail to load or process, with long waits and little or no error or progress feedback.
Feature gaps repeatedly requested by users: adjustable caption box size.
Requests for logo overlays to appear in videos.
Requests for stroke shadow/border effects on captions.
Requests for multi-area caption placement within the frame.

2026-07-03	ma*****	I opened to use it and suddenly my account is no longer pro when it was “supposed” to be lifetime. Quite basic application. Luckily FCP just got a captions add on (just in time!). He also has the feedback feed, but not sure if really works on the suggestions or not.

2026-06-12	Ma*****	Ok I just started making captioned videos so maybe I’m only a good reviewer for newbs but this app is SOOO easy AND intuitive. I have the pro version as an early adopter and I’m sold! Definitely worth trying for simple BUT elegant options.

2026-05-16	vi*****	I’m so glad I downloaded this app! It’s completely changed the way I create videos. What used to take forever—adding captions, formatting everything, and making it look polished—is now fast and effortless. It’s saved me a ton of time and honestly made me excited to create more content again. If you make videos regularly, this app is an absolute game changer. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

2026-04-21	Cl*****	Particularly if you are already a Teleprompter user. So many features of this are made easy, and easy to sensibly design. Especially if presets work for you. I tend not to use them but in a time crunch, amazing and we'll considered. Not sure if I have a personal favorite, but I would have to say that a seemingly simple thing for the spell checker/editor in me does it; being able to edit individual words for spelling or emphasis (adding an exclamation point, for instance, to match my intonation, or change to all caps) while scrolling the captions (quickly, and with haptics, excellent!). Seems simple but for me, it's perfect. A BUNCH of nice little touches like this in the interface. Ability to color for definition from background and scene as well as to place for this is excellent. And the best thing is, they will just keep updating with useful small touches as time goes on. Very responsive team. Being able to place different sections of the captions in different areas of the frame as the frame changes is my big ask, but they may be working on that already, or I maybe just haven't found it yet. Still exploring. If that is in, it's my forever app.

2026-04-16	Ma*****	This app is so helpful because I don’t have to redo the captions on every social media platform for my video. The only issue I have with it is that it won’t let me change the size of the caption box. I want to make my caption box a little small smaller, so it doesn’t get covered up by other parts of the video, but it looks it can be only one size.
