One user writes "I recorded an event when the police were questioning me ... It seemed like because of the fact I was recording them they were acting nicer than usual. At one point 1 of the officers tried to grab my phone, but I warned him if he tried to damage the phone or stop the recording it will be uploaded to YouTube immediately, and then he stopped, LOL. It felt good like we are equals, as it should have always been."

Please note -- all recordings are securely uploaded to iCloud. At all times, you can control who, if anyone, can see your videos. Manage your uploaded videos at https://CopWatch.app

User Reviews

The app is praised for its concept and quick start, plus auto-upload to YouTube, making sharing easy. However, reliability is a major issue: uploads are often delayed or fail, support seems inactive, recording can have black screen or audio problems, and privacy concerns arise from linking YouTube/Google accounts. These recurring problems undermine usefulness in real-world scenarios.

Pros

Great idea for quick documentation and evidence capture.
App opens quickly and starts recording, enabling fast capture.
Auto-upload to YouTube simplifies sharing and archiving.

Cons

Unreliable uploads: delays of hours or uploads failing altogether.
App appears abandoned or poorly supported, with slow or no responses from the developer.
Recording can show a black screen or have the viewfinder/audio issues (sometimes no audio).
Privacy concerns due to requiring access to YouTube/Google account and external control (NEPV).
Locking/background recording is not supported, and on-screen prompts can interrupt use.

Recent reviews

I like the idea of this app and as I understand it was once useful, but it is clear that support has been dropped a long time ago, and those who still use it for uploading videos appear to be abusing this lack of oversight. When I clicked to see videos that others have been posted online it is literally just a long stream of people shaking their naked butts in front of the camera.

App will not upload videos to my cloud or their server. Useless with no records. Sent email request for assistance 3 weeks ago and no responses.

I installed it. It recorded 1 video, then no more would be saved. I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it saves all videos but randomly the videos have no audio! Complete price of crop. SCAM.
