Dangerous to use

Does not save the video you just recorded, if you close the app while it is still recording. Whereas, the built in camera app does save the video even if the app is suddenly closed.

Furthermore, if you stop the recording, and then shut down the app within a few seconds, the video will not be saved because it wasn’t finished saving it. There’s no way to know when it is or isn’t finished saving, so you just have to give it plenty of time and hope it finished, before you close the app. If you close the app too soon, the video is lost forever.

Also it does not save the setting for “torch” to be on during video capture. Every time I start the app, I have to turn torch on.

Also it isn’t my preference that it always opens to the settings page. I’d rather it open straight to the camera, so I can start recording more quickly, even if that was an optional feature I had to activate in settings.

I will fix the torch not saving immediately. Thanks for letting me know. I'll also add the option to start with the settings closed. Good idea! I'm really sorry to hear that the recording wasn't saved when the app was closed. On the devices I have, it saves it just like the camera app. I will look into this because not saving would be a big problem.

Good, but....

Good for candid camera, but it doesn’t save you’re settings

Finally everything is saved 😊

Very useful app

I used this app to turn my ipad into a hidden camera to make a funny video with my friends. It was fun, thanks.
