    No specs.

    Too expensive and it under performs other screen recorders.

  • user·0256App Storev2.4.227d agoon the store ↗

    Bad experience

    Holds your data hostage 1 recording allowed

  • user·5636App Storev2.4.229d agoon the store ↗

    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.

  • user·047cApp Storev2.4.208 Oct 2026on the store ↗

    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.

  • user·9568App Storev2.4.220 Sept 2026on the store ↗

    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

  • user·86e3App Storev2.4.229 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    You have to pay for EVERYTHING but speed and volume, you can’t even export stuff without paying 10 bucks

  • user·c268App Storev2.4.223 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    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

  • user·c695App Storev2.4.214 Aug 2026on the store ↗

  • user·fcf8App Storev2.4.211 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    Worthless Scam

  • user·3541App Storev2.4.210 Aug 2026on the store ↗

    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.

    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 😭✌️

  • user·0bd5App Storev2.4.222 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    What a scam

  • user·29d9App Storev2.4.219 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    Misleading and horrible quality

  • user·4258App Storev2.4.215 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    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.

  • user·4b0cApp Storev2.4.208 Jul 2026on the store ↗

  • user·dd16App Storev2.4.204 Jul 2026on the store ↗

    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.

  • user·bea6App Storev2.4.227 Jun 2026on the store ↗

    This app sucks

    I can’t even rotate the camera and cannot even record content which is the reason I downloaded the app
