## What is Mideo?

Join the thousands of Mideo users who already are using Mideo to record videos with music! Mideo is the must-have app for anyone who wants to listen to music and record video at the same time.

How it works:
Play music through any app, then open Mideo and start recording. The music won't pause, and you can record while it plays. You can easily use Control Center on your device to change the song that's playing while you record.

Mideo uses your device’s built-in high-quality video camera and instantly saves the videos you take straight to the Photos app.

Additional features:

• Supports front, back, portrait, landscape, flash, zoom, tap to focus, and grid lines. Just like the built-in camera app.

• Options to record video in 720p, 1080p, or 4K resolutions. (4K is available on supported devices only.)

• Displays how much video you can record based on your remaining device storage.

• An option to start recording whenever you open the app. No need to tap the record button!

• Easily access your Camera Roll with the press of a button.

2. Pause the music if you want, or keep it playing - it doesn't matter.

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2026-06-14, version 12.4*

Just installed it and it won’t work

### 1/5 — No no no

*2026-04-19, version 12.4*

The app works fine, but I HATE HATE HATE THE PRO FEATURE. What if my parents won’t let me pay? What if I can’t be bothered? It won’t even let me save ONE VIDEO. I hate it!!

### 4/5 — Why do I need to buy premium

*2026-04-03, version 12.4*

Wdym I have to buy premium or whatever when I was just trying to test record ONE video

### 1/5 — Ew rip off WARNING

*2026-01-25, version 12.4*

U have to pay to do a vid and it’s not fare because we just want to make a video I will delete the app they will get back to ME AND MAKE A CHANGE

### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2025-12-17, version 12.4*

Works as advertised

### 1/5 — 👎

*2025-11-24, version 12.4*

the description told me it would record without interruptions, but when i played my music and hit record, the video stopped and then  prompted me with a paywall stating my "first video was free" and i'd have to pay to record another one. it didn't even work 👎

### 1/5 — Just terrible

*2025-10-25, version 12.4*

Is possible in the camera app anyways, might need to turn on something in the settings. This one costs around 100€ per year which is completely crazy.

### 2/5 — $49.99/yr, $7.99/mo, $3.99/wk

*2025-08-22, version 12.4*

First video is free, then it’s quite expensive for what it does. It doesn’t appear to let you customize the sound input so that you can use your Bluetooth mic or adjust much else. ProMovie Recorder definitely has a more reasonable price and feature set (which doesn’t include playing music while recording)

### 1/5 — totalmente Pago

*2025-06-25, version 12.3*

nem da para usar

### 1/5 — U have to pay?!

*2025-06-20, version 12.3*

I used it the first time but I worked but then the second time I had to pay To use the app. It’s so annoying I just want to record!
