## What is Instant Camo?

An extremely simple yet unbelievably capable video recording and editing app!

Whether you have an iPhone 4S, or an iPhone 11 Pro, you will never miss a moment that is worth being captured on video. Just launch the app and recording is already in progress, no need to swipe or press additional buttons. Easily pause and resume the recording, or switch between front and back cameras while filming. When you are done, simply close the app and the video will be waiting for you in the Camera Roll. 

MAIN FEATURES:
• Record instantly as soon as you launch the app.
• Automatically save the video upon exit, either to the Camera Roll (by default), or to the app documents folder (for additional privacy).
• Record in 4K at 60 frames per second. Or film a slow motion video in 1080p at 240 fps. It is all up to you. Simply choose the resolution and frame rate that you prefer.
• Create vlog style videos with no effort.
• Pause and resume the recording - just press and hold the record button or tap the video duration indicator.
• Resume recording your last saved video.
• Switch between front and back cameras while recording.
• Easily select the desired camera using the Today Screen Widget straight from the lock screen and recording will start immediately.
• Select a different recording screen for extra privacy.
• Edit your recording from within the app - rotate, trim, cut and rearrange selected parts of the video. You can also zoom into any given area in the video for a selected period of time.

PREMIUM FEATURES (available via an In-App Purchase):
• No limit on the recording duration.

• Record in HEVC format for reduced video file size. In addition, you can also adjust the video bitrate in order to fine-tune the quality and file size of your recording.
• Zoom while recording up to 99.9x (depends on the actual device) using either Pinch to Zoom, or Swipe Up/Down gestures. If your device has a telephoto camera, you can use it to achieve a higher quality zoom effect.
• Adjust zoom level directly or have it gradually ramp up to the desired level.
• Use the flashlight while recording with either front or back camera.
• Set (and lock) focus and exposure using a Tap gesture.
• Manually adjust focus and exposure using Swipe gestures.
• Add a 3x3 grid layer over the camera view while recording.

### 2/5 — I could only use it for 30 seconds!

*2025-11-06, version 1.19.0*

WHAT!?!? I thought I found the perfect app because I have been looking forever and finally found an app I thought I would like. BUT I HATE IT!!!!!! Whenever I was doing my first recording I was talking and then it said I COULD ONLY RECORD FOR 30 SECONDS! 

 I do like this app but it is so annoying I uninstalled it right away. I would not suggest this app!
 
I really want to use it more but I could barely do anything. 
 
Can you please fix this!

### 3/5 — Okay

*2025-03-06, version 1.19.0*

This app is good but you have to pay to record for longer than 30 seconds. The camera is good quality and the pause and stop camera is great!

### 1/5 — Entire recording didn’t work

*2024-11-02, version 1.19.0*

A stupid advert stopped my recording of an interesting once in a lifetime phenomena and I’ve lost it. You get 1*. Zero stars if possible. I don’t care about your ‘irrelevant or relevant ads’.

### 5/5 — Very cool

*2024-08-08, version 1.19.0*

I’ve got premium if you don’t have it trust me it’s no use!!! I’ve unlocked both

### 1/5 — Junk

*2024-04-07, version 1.19.0*

Often it looks like it’s recording but when you review the file, it’s just white. Moment missed.

### 3/5 — Ok, But…

*2023-11-13, version 1.19.0*

It’s good but I sometimes catch my phone Auto Turning on and recording me. Plz fix this.

### 4/5 — randomly ends video

*2023-07-14, version 1.19.0*

its great i paid for the pro version only 5$ but it randomly ends the video for some reason. it could have to do with my storage though

### 4/5 — Wow

*2023-07-08, version 1.19.0*

Absolutely flawless. I was using pause cam but now that I have this and loving it

### 1/5 — Could be awesome 🙄

*2023-05-26, version 1.19.0*

I think this would be a absolute wonderful app if only you were allowed to record longer that 30 SECONDS!! 

It was very aggravating/ irritating to find out the app only was allowed to record to this amount of time. When I was super excited to start recording, Only to experience this.

Also, you need to make it easier to understand how to merge clips.

If you were to take action on these issues I guarantee you that your sales will double the rate and double the 💵going into your pocket/ bank account 

Lastly, I am now not going to be using this app any longer and is having trouble deleting this app off of my iPhone.

Please try to correct/act on these issues.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2023-05-15, version 1.19.0*

I love this app but IT ONLY GIVES YOU 30 SECONDS!!!! I am mad at that and will tell every body I know to stop using this app!!!
