No specs.
Too expensive and it under performs other screen recorders.
Bad experience
Holds your data hostage 1 recording allowed
Can’t record screen and face cam at the same time
The screenshots make it seem like you can record the screen and face cam at the same time… You cannot do that. Wasted $10 on this garbage.
I hate it
So apparently, I downloaded this app to just like make fun little videos when I play Roblox and show my face but it had said you have to pay like $10 a month too so I just didn’t do that when I did the regular one they want it like tells me like I did and stuff you know and then I try to save it. It says I have to pay $10 a month again to do it so this app is mainly a scam unless you wanna spend $10 a month to do this I would recommend iMovie. It’s way better than this stupid app.
This is broken
When I try to make a video about Toca world it instead of looking normal the video was up side down and when try to fix it want me to buy the flip button to use it. I hope this app get banned from here or remove
I hate this app
You have to pay for EVERYTHING but speed and volume, you can’t even export stuff without paying 10 bucks
DO NOT BUY THIS APP
THIS IS THE WORST APP EVER!!!!!! You have to pay to do anything. I don’t want to spend ten dollars on a YouTube channel. I would rate this 0 Stars if I could
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS
SO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO DOWNLOAD VIDS AND THE TOOLS ARENT THAT GREAT
What is this???
This app takes up so much space for me and doesn't let me record at a tablet angle only a phone angle when i deleted this i had so much more space 😒
Worthless Scam
You have to pay to save, post, edit, use facecam and like everything else.
Overpriced and underfeatured
Very basic functionality. You can’t even crop videos, and all tools (such as they are) are in the paid version. Wish I hadn’t paid for the full version.
Stupid
I have to pay to just upload a video this is a scam
Horrible
What the hell do you mean you have to pay to download it like are you just money hungry or something?
WORST APP EVER READ THIS NOW!!
You have to PAY for certain videos and even though I haven’t used it, it’s takes up 2GB of my ICLOUD STORAGE!! Like I said, I haven’t even used the app yet as it DIDNT EVEN SAVE?? Just use the iPhone built in screen recorder at this point bro 😭✌️
What a scam
You download it and then it says it’s for free and then if you try to use any of the features, it says that it charges you $10 in my opinion don’t download this
Misleading and horrible quality
This app doesn’t warn that you have to pay for something and I recorded recently… the video was stretched. Don’t download
Useless
What is the point in letting people record videos and not even let them save it to there camera roll or share it without paying money. Massive money grab app.
U would have to pay me to use it
Terrible. Any other recording app would be better. This one spams you with its payment bs which surprises me considering there’s ones out there way better and free so don’t waste your time on this garbage
In my opinion
I don’t like how you have to pay to download it trim it or make the volume up like it’s just you have to pay for everything I get it. You’re trying to make money all that stuff. I’m not saying a broken. None of that. It’s just I don’t think you need to pay for all of that.
This app sucks
I can’t even rotate the camera and cannot even record content which is the reason I downloaded the app
Bad thing
When I started using the app for recording, recording was going smooth. But I can’t export they are demanding $10 for everything.
Don’t buy This app
This terrible, the recording process is normal until you HAVE TO PAY 9.99 DOLLARS TO JUST TO DOWNLOAD AND EDIT THE VIDEO! I need better work from you guys…….😡😡🤬🤬
Now it’s just bad
It was going good until it just stopped loading for some reason and it was after I choose to not put review plus my mom paid money sooooo they should explain this
This app kinda sucks and glitched my screen
When I was trying to make another video, it didn’t work plus when I closed the app and I was about to delete it it started glitching my wallpaper. It made it green in the normal green and the normal green and then normal and then when I deleted it, the glitching stopped. Please fix that.
Can’t buy subscription
I can’t download my videos because you need Premium, but when I get to the subscription page I get a pop up that says “Product not available.” Wasted a good hour on this app.
WORST. APP. EVER.
so basically I downloaded it screenrecorded what I needed and then it said I had to pay a butt ton of money if I wanted to save the recording! So save ur stupid time.
Saving to camera roll is locked behind a pay wall
TEN DOLLARS TO SAVE A VIDEO. This app used to be good but that’s total trash now. I’ll save my ten dollars to buy a gallon of milk thanks
Hate it
I’ll give it a one just because but I expected a facecam and screen recording but you have to pay for a facecam effect and to screen record all you have to do is turn it on in the settings so don’t waste your time why do I have to pay 10 dollars to do a picture In picture effects that’s stupid
scam
recorded a long video just for it to say at the end, when i went to export it, that it couldn’t be exported without paying $13… yeah no
Do not download
This app can only be used if you pay for pro. Don’t waste your time
This sucks gng
The fact that you get shoved in the face with a pro subscription when you try to export is so annoying just make it free and maybe your app will actually get more people
Everything cost money!
U can’t even use half the features cuz pretty much everything cost money and I recorded a 48 SECOND video and I had to pay to export it like excuse me it’s not even a minute this app is horrible and if the creator/s see this please make some features free like extending the record time to like 5 mins and making u able to trim and rotate the recording for free otherwise the app is horrible don’t waste ur time on this app it’s horrible and useless
I HATE YOU I HATE YOU IHATE YOU!!!
I TRIED TO EDIT MY VIDEO IT COST PREMIUM I TRIED TO PUBLISH MY VIDEO IT COST PREMIUM I TRIED TO MAKE A VIDEO ITS VIRTICAL NOT HORIZONTA AND I CANT ROTATE IT BECAUSE IT COST MONEY EVERYTHING COST MONEY EXCEPT RECORDING but the video is smooth unlike the other ones I used BUT I HATE YOU!!! YOU YOU JUST WANT MONEY I HATE YOU but when I record the video it was smooth BUT STILL NO PREMIUMMMMMMM
DON’T DOWNLOAD !!!!!
This app is a terrible app you have limits on what you can save to Camera roll I literally don’t get the point of this if you can’t save the video to your camera roll because isn’t that the whole reason why your downloading it? It’s only let you if you go pro which is £9.99 a month !!!!Don’t download app it won’t let me write zero stars to write a review so just pretend it says a zero because it’s terrible app!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡I repeat DON’T DOWNLOAD!!!
Terrible!
I asked google for free screen recorders and this was the top one. Lies about being free completely, wants 9.99 a month! Scam app!
Not worth it
It was good at first, I made about 2 videos but then I filmed another and I tried to save it but it made me pay (I didn’t pay ) so now I’ve deleted it and I don’t really recommend getting this app sorry
Uhm ye no
Is it just me or when it comes to apps you already saw that were free like ✨inshot✨ and you find one that you have to pay for that is 10x more useless.🥲please tell me you didn’t see the only edit tools there that were speed, trim or crop/rotate cuz why was that the only tools..🤨 plus they cost 12$..😔 cuz why did I record a vid and I tried editing it.. but don’t worry I jst needed to share it to my camera roll or whatever else was there but no that costs money to😭 I honestly don’t know if I’ll ever get that vid back.. especially if I can’t even edit it.. ty that was it..
Bad
It was not the worst thing but hear is my I was just watching my video when the voice was bad and like saying it over and over again and the first time I watched it the screen was black so please stop that and you have to pay for everything can you make some thing free like saving it to your iPad or whatever please thank you but it did the I need so I will give you a 3 star.
