This wording led me to believe that I could record my screen while also choosing to either record audio or face cam at the same time. What it actually is a choice between screen recording (with mic on or off for audio), audio recording, or face cam recording in response to a pre-existing video. There are so many apps that do the same exact thing. Why would I pay a weekly, monthly or yearly subscription to an app when I can pay less (and only once in some cases) or nothing at all with other options that have a much nicer user interface and don’t take up extra space with unnecessary features like in app games. I was really hoping this would solve the dilemma of needing a Screen Recorder that allowed face cam recording at the same time in order to react to gameplay, etc., but here I am back to the hunt for a good app. ### 1/5 — what is the point of having this if you need to pay *2024-11-29, version 1.56* this is trash. 🚮 wast of my time. i just want to play and let people watch me. i thought my problems would be over. TAKE THIS DOWN ### 1/5 — Pay to use is ridiculous *2024-10-13, version 1.53* I never got to use it because you need to pay for everything to just use anything this thing provides. How is it iphones have free screen recorders for the absolute basic needs but on a computer you need to pay your way? It's ridiculous. I need to screen record because I need it for my assignments. It's honestly disappointing and now realizing how bad the reviews are I would hope the developers will eventually take the hint and improve themselves. ### 3/5 — Why *2024-10-12, version 2.14.36* I can’t live stream on yt. It says that I’m not ready to livestream even tho I have more than 50 subs and verified my channel. ### 1/5 — ??? *2024-09-22, version 2.14.35* What!?! You have to pay? I am poor and just wanted a free minimal feature share screen app, not a app where you have to pay for it! It’s not even forever, 3 bucks for a week is crazy. ### 1/5 — full buggy *2024-08-11, version 2.14.33* can go live in yt, cant record . no need to install this ### 2/5 — It won’t let me record *2024-08-07, version 2.14.33* So you see it keep telling me to get premium and I see no record button ### 1/5 — worst app i have ever used *2024-08-07, version 2.14.33* this app doesn’t even work! i keep on getting bombsrded with too many ads and premium things. it is stupid it is a scam! 10/10 would NOT i repeat WOULD NOT recommend ### 3/5 — I subscribed to see the application. It hasn't been 15 minutes and I want to cancel it, but there is *2024-07-11, version 1.49* Hello, I subscribed to see the application. It hasn't been 15 minutes and I want to cancel it, but there is no refund. Can you help me? ### 1/5 — Pésima *2024-06-29, version 2.14.31* Nunca pude iniciar sesión en Twitch ### 1/5 — Review *2024-05-31* All apps for screen recording are asking money recording ### 1/5 — Very bad app *2024-05-21, version 2.14.29* This app is very bad I waste my net in this this type of app ### 1/5 — doesn't work/impossible to cancel *2024-04-01, version 1.43* dont do it. still trying to figure out how to cancel. ### 1/5 — 😡 *2024-03-24, version 2.14.27* The game is making me pay for premium but I don’t want to and it won’t let me get of if that ### 1/5 — Disliked! *2024-03-12, version 2.14.27* I have seen lots of good reviews on this app but i have one BIG PROBLEM I do not want to buy your premium pass but i cannot do anything without buying it?!? All it says it “Premium” with the details but no X’s to exit or other buttons i can click without it saying premium. I in no way can use your app without buying premium. I do not know if this is a glitch or the app is just not free to use but either way I am un-downloading this app. Thank you for your time. ### 1/5 — App pago *2024-02-16* Não dá nem protestar de graça, só pagando **Developer response:** Agradecemos seu feedback.

It’s not free. ### 1/5 — The app doesn't work *2024-02-01, version 1.42* This app does not work at all. I paid 24.99 for the year but the app does not open and just keeps going in a loading loop whenever I open it. App support doesn't respoond at all. ### 3/5 — How do I use!? *2024-01-01, version 2.14.27* Can you tell me how to get pass the subscription part? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rubbish waste of time *2026-02-15, version 2.14.47* They offer free for basic use if you watch ads but the recordings for the free version, you are not allowed to use if you do not pay them. ### 1/5 — A terrible app *2026-01-13, version 1.67* Its very poor app, & wasted 3 days of my time trying to figure out how to make it work though I subscribed for the full version. Eventually I failed. Quality was super poor & no audio recorded. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-07-15, version 2.14.46* Every time i tried to click on something it pops me up with subscriptions I do not recommend this ### 1/5 — Yall pmo istg *2025-05-22, version 2.14.45* I cant find one app without subscription ong yall ngas pmo ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-05-16, version 2.14.45* The entire app is practically unusable because the core features you’d actually download this app for is locked behind a pay wall for their “premium” services. Developers shouldn’t have even made this app free if they were going to make it like this. Do not waste your time downloading, you will not be able to use it. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-03-12, version 2.14.44* I thought it was completely fine. I get in. It says it cost money and I think that’s fine but it says weekly monthly yearly and are horrible deals! ### 1/5 — Pay to play *2025-02-09, version 2.14.43* This is NOT a screen recorder I can’t record every tab I open says, “wanna subscribe for no ads?” I click X and after its keeps asking. I cant figure out how to record my screen with this app so please stop being greedy for money you have to pay to play ### 1/5 — it just doesn’t work *2025-01-04, version 2.14.41* I CANT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT PREMIUM ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-12-19, version 2.14.41* You can’t use it without paying and it only gives you a free day trial ### 1/5 — Just another bad screen recorder *2024-12-11, version 2.14.41* Basically, it’s just free three day trial or pay no in between nothing and if you’re gonna pay find a different app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Smooth screen recording excellence for mac users *2023-09-06* I recently tried out screen recorder for Mac, and I'm thoroughly impressed.
