### 2/5 — GUI von gestern

*2026-08-19*

Trotz aktuellem Update ist der App das Alter anzusehen- automatischer Dark Mode funktioniert nicht- erbärmlich heutzutage.
Zudem sind einige Beschriftungen chinesisch.

### 2/5 — このアプリも動画に不具合がおきた

*2026-07-19*

基本的にiPhoneで画面録画はお勧めしません
録画した動画PCを移動したら何ならの不具合で画面固まりました

### 3/5 — Brauchbar

*2025-08-10*

…aber Luft nach oben. Immer noch kein DARK MODE, echtes Manko.

### 4/5 — しっかりしてる！

*2025-07-01*

ちゃんと動いて音もしっかりしてます！とても使いやすいです。利用仕方もとても簡単で録画ボタンを押して、録画したい画面をそのままにするだけです！

### 3/5 — Ja foi Bom, mas o suporte demora

*2024-11-29*

2 problemas crônicos se o MAC atualizar a versão, não atualize pois vai ter conflito espere uns meses. E 2 se vc usa muitas vezes o botão pause o arquivo vai corromper.

### 2/5 — I needed to use this as a trial, but cannot see the video location

*2024-05-10, version 2.2.0*

I tied to use this to record something for an hour, when I stopped it says I have to pay £35 to view it. I cannot check the video quality as I cannot find the file, and it only allows me to 'save' 1 min on the stream. I cannot tell if this app is good enough to pay £35 PER YEAR for my lectures. I wish it would said this when I clicked trail instead of at the end, holding the file hostage. What am I supposed to do now? Use a free one to screen record the screen record to see if the video and sound is actually good enough or is the file type is compatible... I've no idea at this point. I'm so annoyed.

### 1/5 — I gave up

*2023-07-30, version 1.0.6*

When I downloaded this app I thought it was gonna work like a charm I watched the tutorial and everything and i pressed start recording and it didn’t work for me. 👎🏻

### 1/5 — Scam

*2023-07-25, version 2.1.5*

It says on the website that this app will be free, but yet it is not. I don't understand because it also says you can record for unlimited time, but then it says you have to pay for vip or else you get oly one minute of recording.

### 1/5 — Vocês vão melhorar ou não?

*2023-07-02*

Eu tento apertar o começar a gravar mas não grava

### 1/5 — Can’t start record

*2023-05-29, version 1.0.6*

I followed instructions.  My iPhone 10 is not recording anything.  One star

### 3/5 — 「画面 録画:スクリーンレコード」より録音の失敗率は低い(絶対に失敗しないとは言ってない)

*2023-02-09*

iPhone XでIRIAMの配信を画録した所画面が横に少し伸ばされたような感じに録れてしまった
他の配信アプリ・機種による検証並びに修正を求む

### 2/5 — No sound videos

*2023-01-31, version 1.0.6*

Enregistre des vidéos sans son… pas utile

### 1/5 — Não funciona

*2023-01-25*

Não está funcionando, não tem como gravar até pq eu clico em “começar a gravar”, e não entra , parece travado . Já fiz o que pede na configuração e ainda não consigo gravar .

### 1/5 — trial version Not worthy

*2023-01-17*

trial version record all the video and save only first one minute. 

so dont waste time to use trial if you are looking for free.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2023-01-09, version 1.0.6*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — レビューを確認すべきだった

*2025-08-16*

VIPを購入しても動作しない。問い合わせてもなんの反応もない。Appleを通したソフトは安心だと思っていたが・・・確認すべきだった：（

### 1/5 — Diz que grava mais de um minuto na versão free

*2025-05-21*

Diz que grava mais de um minuto na versão gratuita mas é mentira....

### 1/5 — BOGUS!

*2025-04-13, version 2.2.3*

Don't let the word "free" fool you.  The INSTANT you try to do anything with this program, a pop-up appears saying you're on the "Trial Version."  And this free trial version won't allow you to do JACK SQUAT.  Highly deceptive.

### 1/5 — 狗屎app千万别下！！！

*2025-01-29, version 1.1.3*

狗屎app！！！千万别下！！！重要录屏录完才告诉你要冲VIP不然只给前一分钟，点了要解锁VIP结果app完全卡死最重要的录像全丢了！垃圾误事！！！什么狗屎玩意！千万别下！

### 1/5 — App changed for the worse

*2024-11-07, version 1.1.3*

Yes I know it crashed often and didn’t record sometimes but that’s worth it for the only recording app to separate sounds. I used to record in my car, and the sound from games or videos was controlled. Now it just records every sound regardless if I mute my car audio or phone audio.

### 1/5 — It messed up every recording

*2024-10-27, version 1.1.3*

I was trying to record lectures i had to watch but it fd up every single one.   Every single video i recorded the sound doesnt sync with the video but im sure the original material did.  F this app and f the horse it rode in on

### 1/5 — VIPを購入しても利用できない

*2024-08-04*

App Storeから支払いをしているが、実際に利用できるようにはならない。メーカーに問い合わせ中...

### 1/5 — 助けてください

*2023-12-03*

容量確保の為に動画を整理しようと思い開いたら動画が全てなくなっていました。アカウントも無かったことになっています。どうすればいいですかこれ

### 1/5 — I hate it don't get it

*2023-10-11, version 2.1.8*

It only records for a minute unless you pay and so you can only record for a short time.

### 1/5 — 金返せ

*2023-09-21*

VIP購入しないと保存できないと出てきたから購入したら、アプリ上は購入してない状態なのにAPPからはしっかり料金支払いましたと出てきやがった。

詐欺かよ！！
