Record it!: Unreliable screen recording and frequent app crashes
Users frequently experience critical technical failures during the recording process, including unexpected app crashes, recording interruptions, and persistent errors that prevent files from saving correctly. These performance issues are compounded by specific functional glitches, such as distorted screen displays, missing audio, and orientation errors, which render the application unreliable for consistent use.
15 different people have complained about this since 31 May 2021, most recently on 15 Oct 2026. 1 of them in the last 30 days.
- “This app is great but sometimes whenever I record somthing it puts a green block and I can only see half of the screen, which gets VERY annoying then I ahve to wait another 20-30 minutes for it to save.”
- “It’s a nice app but When I TRY to make it a short it just flips over and it’s SOOO ANNOYING AND I AM TIRED OF IT”
- “It’s pretty good but for some reason when I finish a recording it won’t let me and kicks me out and randomly doesn’t wrk songs not do good and it’s annoying when it happens”

Questions about this idea
- Is Unreliable screen recording and frequent app crashes 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?
- 15 different people described it independently, in 15 mentions, the earliest from 31 May 2021 and the most recent from 15 Oct 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 1 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.
