Useful but needs tweaking
Review in 2 parts:
1. Video grab
A useful app but for anyone with half a 👉serious usage intent👈 it needs
- access to Ultrawide camera
- qualification when you’ve exceeded the x2 optical zoom, and are using digital zoom
2. Photo grab
Users beware that the photos are at “frame grab” resolution- losing about 1/3 in quality and size (ouch!)
ie. from 12mp camera resolution down to 8mp in-app
(Native camera app vs. SnipBack on iPhone 11 Pro, with SnipBack record resolution set at 4K 60FPS)
These are still fab for personal use, possibly Social Media but that’s where it ends.
Definitely potential though!

Response from developer
Gentle whisper - thanks for the input. It’s exactly what we’re looking for. I’ve forwarded to our dev team, and expect both your suggestions will be implemented within 4 weeks. That includes access to ultra wide lens and qualification when beyond 2x optical zoom. Both great suggestions. And we agree 100% on image quality...we feel our approach will cover the vast majority of people’s needs, but certainly give up some quality in favor of capture convenience. If you’re open to it, please email me any other suggestions directly at Masud@hipoint.io.
Awesome for special baby moments
I have a 2 year old, and like so many, I want to capture some of those special baby moments for the future. But I found myself recording too much video and not capturing what I wanted. SnipBack is a great solution. I just hold it up and wait. If something happens, I just swipe left or down on the screen...it goes back in time and gets it. Better yet, if I want just a picture, I swipe right and can scan the last 10 seconds for the best pics! And most importantly, if nothing happens, I just put the phone away and don’t have any useless video in my library. Love it!

Pics and Selfie’s
The video recording is great, but I really don’t take a lot of videos. The features to add effects like slow motion are appealing as well, but again not sure how much I’m going to use it. That being said, the picture taking features are AWESOME! I wish I had this for our family vacation in Colorado. Trying to catch the perfect pics on winding roads, not knowing what’s around the bend, was tough. We take many road trips and having this really helps capture the unexpected and cool things on the drive. Also, a great distraction to play with on LONG DRIVES with four kids!!!

Love it
I can’t believe how easy and useful this app is. I have two grandchildren, one 4 and one 4 months. I don’t want to miss any moment of their growth. Love that I can capture the missed moments and save only what I want. Amazing.
Wish I had this long ago!
So simple. This certainly is the future. Just a matter of time. Great job.
