Very focussed on EdTech ### 2/5 — It lags. I loose files! *2025-10-17, version 3.0.9* It lags and doesn’t play back or upload constantly. I loose files. And I pay over $100 a year ### 4/5 — Great App but missing a few things that could be improved *2025-10-11, version 3.0.9* I gave it four stars because like other apps that do recordings it does not allow you to use any avatars or your own picture to add text to make videos from. Even without AI involved, I would expect to at least have a place to be able to put your speech so I telepower can run so it doesn’t look like you’re looking off screen constantly. That would be a great improvement here. ### 4/5 — GOOD RECORDING *2025-09-21, version 3.0.9* Recording is good but editing is bit mid ALTHOUGH IT IS A GOOD SCREENRECORDER APP FOR FREE ### 2/5 — Mic doesn’t work *2025-08-24, version 3.0.9* Why it doesn’t pick up the wireless mic I have connected to the phone? All apps work apart from this one ### 5/5 — Da don *2025-08-16, version 3.0.9* Great ### 5/5 — Great product *2025-08-12, version 3.0.9* Easy to use ### 5/5 — ScreenPal *2025-07-17, version 3.0.9* Easy to operate, good quality, quick ### 5/5 — Good app *2025-07-04, version 3.0.8* A well performing app. Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Great service *2025-06-10, version 3.0.8* Great service at a great price! Love it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SOO BADDD *2026-07-17, version 3.0.13* I can’t even get record my screen and it always makes me try deluxe ### 1/5 — Did not work *2026-06-16, version 3.0.12* First minute I started recording and I saw the I’m countdown activated,I tried to screen Record,I was unable to find the red bottom to stop video.. nowhere on the app screen.Tried several times, frustrated I decided to uninstall app.no good for me…👎☹️ ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-06, version 3.0.12* The app charged me 50$ for the annual membership, then after said it didn’t work so I neither got the membership, nor wanted to make this purchase in the first place, especially because I wanted to test if this app could actually screen record if I have my mic on which it looks like that doesn’t even work. And yes despite not getting the membership, that I didn’t actually want to purchase in the first place, it shows on my App store purchases. ### 1/5 — Stole my money *2026-03-14, version 3.0.12* I got fed up with the pop ups so i paid for the deluxe version. App doesn’t register that I paid and is keeping my profile as a “free user”. Reached out to support and didn’t hear back. And Apple Store is being useless and is refusing to give me a refund. So cool how companies can just steal your money 🙃 ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-07, version 3.0.12* I hate this app ### 1/5 — Very hard to use. *2025-07-22, version 3.0.9* My professor wanted me to use this app to record two presentations but every time I have tried it says it’s not apple compatible even though it allows me to download it.. it is very hard to use and I had to use a different way to record it. I wish this app was Apple friendly… ### 1/5 — horrible use on ipad *2025-06-18, version 3.0.8* My professor recommended using screencast-o-matic, now screen pal to record presentations for our online class and using this app has been the most frustrating experience i’ve ever had. My screen recording only took once, during my draft video, and did not save any other time after that after constantly re-recording my presentation. The app would claim it was processing my video for minutes but would never save anything. It only kept reuploading my draft video that I had deleted three times after requesting full access to my gallery to save videos? ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-06-08, version 3.0.8* This is the worst least user friendly app ever! ### 1/5 — Can't save my videos *2025-03-31, version 3.0.6* Like in the title I cannot save my videos I want to join a fake collab so I record but it isn't saving looking at another review it seems like it doesn't work or apple product it only worked for a little bit I was only able to record 4 VIDEOS as it worked perfectly fine on my Samsung but if you use a Samsung get it if you use apple then DO NOT ### 1/5 — Sound problem *2025-02-22, version 3.0.5* So I use this app for recording YouTube videos but whenever I record something the sound of my game is just not there and I turn my volume up it’s still quiet I even try to turn the game volume up and it’s just quiet. So can you please fix this so when I record I hear what I’m playing please and thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ScreenPal — a key partner in multidimensional teaching *2026-06-17, version 3.0.12* Combining online educational initiatives and face-to-face interaction with students can take the educational process to a new level of effectiveness from the point of view of the students’ learning challenges, and in my work ScreenPal has become an indispensable partner in the combination. It’s flexibility, power in capturing all dimensions of a communication, and stability produce a very satisfying user experience from my point of view. Congratulations to your developers. ### 5/5 — W *2026-06-03, version 3.0.12* Love it so far! ### 5/5 — Ticks all boxes *2026-05-28, version 3.0.12* Amazing innovation helping social bloggers produce great videos ### 5/5 — Trial *2026-05-26, version 3.0.12* Good and easy to use ### 5/5 — Registered Nurse *2026-04-17, version 3.0.12* Excellent ### 5/5 — Best screen recorder yet! *2026-04-15, version 3.0.12* This one is the go-to for teachers. Whether you use it free or pay, the ease of use and clarity of videos is fantastic. You have everything you need for basic use at free level, but I wanted extra options for creating instructional videos and being able to create more of them. I found it valuable to have the choice of sharing with or without audio. You can also have a live window of your face, like with Zoom. There are filters and other cool editing tools with the paid version. P.S. It was a lifesaver when I forgot to send home picture day fliers with my 7th graders. I created an instructional video to send through Remind.com (parent communication tool at the time) about how to go to the website and order online, including all the payment options, etc. Thankfully most parents got notifications on their phone, some through email, many through both. They were grateful to me for the information. Thank goodness for this technology! Whew! 😰 I would’ve had some unhappy parents otherwise. ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2026-04-11, version 3.0.12* It’s easy to use and well priced! Thank you. ### 5/5 — I love this app so much I recommend buying it *2026-03-27, version 3.0.12* Good if you’re trying to make short videos like me ### 5/5 — Good *2026-02-05, version 3.0.12* Jizz ### 5/5 — 5 stars! *2026-01-13, version 3.0.11* You don’t have to pay to record videos or save them on your phone now thanks to screen pal. I’m able to make videos on my YouTube channel. Thank you ScreenPal! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
