### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-07-31*

Epic! I use it for my Switch for my Mario Maker 2 levels!

### 5/5 — .

*2026-06-22*

긴 영상녹화가 한번씩 저장이 끊겨요

### 5/5 — lifetime版本

*2026-06-21*

亲，打赏的最高金额是对应lifetime版本吗？

### 1/5 — Nur für iPad

*2026-05-15*

Erkennt keine USB-Kameras mit iPhone 16 Pro. Nur mit einem iPad.

**Developer response:** Das ist eine Einschränkung von Apple/iOS und nicht von unserer App. USB-Kameras werden derzeit auf dem iPhone 16 Pro nicht unterstützt, nur auf kompatiblen iPads.

### 5/5 — 영상 저장이 안돼요!!

*2026-05-10*

이전버전은 잘 되었는데 업뎃되고 저장이 안돼요 ]… 빨리 수정해주세요

### 5/5 — MiniPCのモニターとして

*2026-05-02*

iPad ProにUSB type-Cハブを使い、手のひらサイズのミニPC（Windows）のHDMI出力から接続してます。特にトラブルもなく、快適に使えています。

### 1/5 — 最新アプデでゴミになった

*2026-04-28*

以前画面に表示された音量レベルと残りストレージ量が非表示になり、正確な録画ができなくなった
元々ストレージが少なくなると何の通知もなく結果的に録画ができない仕様だったにも関わらず、残りストレージ量を非表示にするという極めてゴミみたいなアプデには疑問が残る

2026/04/23
アプデで音量と残ストレージが表示されるようになった
利便性が少しだけ前の仕様に戻った

しかし保存場所が「写真」ではなく「ファイル」になっている点がゴミ
キャッシュファイルも見つけづらい

予告なく意味不明な仕様変更は使い慣れたユーザーの離脱率が上がるだけ

2026/04/28
撮影したデータをファイルアプリで完全に消去しても容量が増えずに減るばかり
再起動しないと治らない
クソカス仕様すぎる

**Developer response:** この問題は次回のアップデートで対応される予定です。

### 1/5 — アップデート後不具合

*2026-04-17*

数秒しか録画できない。長い録画は終了できないとアナウンス。フォルダ内には壊れたファイルが残ります

**Developer response:** 詳細については contact@touchbits.com までご連絡ください。この問題の解決に向けて対応いたします。

### 5/5 — 很棒

*2026-04-12, version 1.51*

免费无广，界面简洁没有花里胡哨的功能

### 3/5 — Do not work in iphone 15pro

*2026-04-12*

Yea

## Version history (last 5 of 5)

### 1.63 — 2026-08-11

• Low storage warnings — CamX checks free space before you record and warns you if it runs low mid-take, so a long recording no longer dies silently. Remaining space now shows in the HUD.
• Correct storage readings on external SD cards and USB drives.
• Fixed mirroring being applied inconsistently between the preview and the recorded video.
