Questions about this idea

Is Frustrating technical glitches in screen recording apps a startup idea?
Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
How many people have this problem?
6 different people described it independently, in 6 mentions, the earliest from 04 Jun 2018 and the most recent from 11 Jul 2024. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
Is this problem getting worse?
Status: quiet — no new posts in the last 60 days. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 0 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
