Voice Control

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost important footage because of a notification popping up like low power or something else interrupting recording.

The swipe lock was a nice addition, but it’s still kind of useless because you can still swipe if you really want to. I hate that recording doesn’t auto save. If you accidentally lock your phone it should auto save as soon as interruption occurs.

It would be nice to have a feature where the app is completely controlled by voice. So that you don’t have to worry about pressing a button to start anything or pressing a button to stop something or tapping anything.

We should be able to create custom commands with our voice that tell it to start recording/stop recording or even a pause feature would be nice. A way to pause the record recording, and restart when ready.

Just some thoughts. For what the app is, it’s great, but very unreliable sometimes.

Almost 5 stars

For a discreet camera app - a camera as the logo AND splash screen just seems… not smart.

Also the wallpaper pictures have a 0 in front of the digits which makes it look obviously fake.

Those are my only two gripes - 5 star app outside of that!!

Great app!!

Record video without generating heat from the screen being on! Use it to document interactions where you may later need proof of what actually happened. Easy to use!!

Image selection

Improve image selection and how to export to camera roll (same as iPhone )
