### 3/5 — Solved a challenge but needs improvements

*2025-10-25, version 1.7*

It solved a big challenge of parsing iPhone videos into Camtasia Windows desktop app. However, many times the video fails to share and pretends as if it did not find the device. It doesn’t have proper error messaging. The problem resolves if i update iOS /Windows version or ensure i am on same network. But now i am facing this issue despite both conditions being true and I am clueless!

### 4/5 — TechSmith Capture

Je to OK

### 5/5 — 简单好用

*2025-04-25, version 1.7*

录制屏幕非常好用，它可以录制你屏幕上的一切，非常稳定，UI界面也非常的简单低调。

### 5/5 — Ipad Instructions

*2025-03-11, version 1.7*

The video says swipe up, actually you have to swipe from the top right. I think the video also is incorrect and it shows a red bar at the top. I can make a video of how it actually works on my iPad if you wish.

### 2/5 — Not Lekka

*2025-02-19, version 1.7*

There aren’t any setting to change how it records the screen. Advertises that it shows where you tap on screen but does not

### 4/5 — I love this app but

*2025-02-08, version 1.7*

The app has not been letting me record recroom and I am a YouTuber it stops every like 15 seconds and it does not save so like I don’t know why it’s happening it’s working with other apps though

### 4/5 — Great piece of software

### 5/5 — Free, works well enough

*2024-11-03, version 1.7*

What more do you want for free really?

### 5/5 — Can’t be without it

*2024-11-02, version 1.7*

TechSmith has been my absolute go-to for the last 20+ years, helping me with all facets of communication. I can’t imagine trying to manage the many screen captures, walk-throughs, training manuals, and just general “here’s how to” that I do every day. Being able to quickly locate past screen captures through their incredible library has keep things organized for years. Thank you!!!

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-10-09, version 1.7*

Garbage app. What’s the point of this terrible and pointless app? I can already capture my screen in iOS with native apps and features. The only reason why I’d want this particular application is because it would hook up to my screen cast.com account so I could upload my captures directly there, however, this ridiculous app doesn’t allow that and instead forces me to connect to my computer and send the screen capture over there, requiring me to then get on my computer and send the screen capture to screencast.com. What kind of ridiculous set up is this? The whole point for the iOS capture is to be able to bypass my computer if I’m on my iOS device only. Why then would I have an extra step needed to turn on my computer and then send a video from there instead of directly from my iOS device where it originated? Absolutely pointless, and stupid and ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2025-08-23, version 1.7*

Unfortunately, this app is very glitchy. The audio messes up. Sometimes it doesn’t record. It’s just like their desktop version. I might have to seek another option.

### 1/5 — Basically useless

*2025-03-26, version 1.7*

Idk exactly what the limit is, but it can’t record more than a few minutes at a time. There’s no option to extend, no setting to change the limit, nothing. They just shut your recording down due to a “risk” of losing the recording. Well, maybe I’d like to take that risk, but nope. No choice. Because if it’s not a risk and WILL happen, then techsmith’s a bunch of flying ducks. Just admit the limitation instead of being so sketchy about everything. And if you’ve ever dealt with their personnel, then you understand why they’re sketchy about EVERYTHING.

### 1/5 — I have a concern

*2024-12-24, version 1.7*

I love how the app records and all, but when I recorded a song with the microphone on it sounded choppy, and you couldn’t hear anything except a choppy noise. And I’m disappointed because it doesn’t need an update , and it has been like this for ever since I got it. I thought at first it was the background noise but recently when I do it it’s quite. Please do look into why this is happening. But other then that glitch it’s a amazing app.  Or sometimes when I record, IT DOESNT EVEN RECORD THE SOUND AT ALL!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect to Snaggit

*2024-12-16, version 1.7*

I tried connecting to me paid up Snaggit account but I receive a message “cannot establish a connection”.

### 1/5 — Update

*2024-11-11, version 1.7*

Please Update the app.

### 1/5 — Recording stops

*2024-11-07*

Recording stops after 20 mins and the reason displayed is recording is stopping because of recording length

### 1/5 — D oesn’t support Zoom recording.

*2024-04-22*

It works like the screen recorder in iOS, and doesn’t support Zoom recording.

### 1/5 — Best, but not that good

*2024-02-27, version 1.7*

No audio while recording and neither have sounds, music and/nor anything. Anything is nothing. Only to enable sound is to turn the mic on so it can record voice, sound, music and etc, but can interfare the other sounds in environment surrondings. I wouldn’t not recommend this tool 😞

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2024-02-14, version 1.7*

It was good and up n running until a thing popped up on my screen that said that it unexpectedly stopped recording, so please fix that

### 5/5 — Muito bom ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2025-07-04, version 1.7*

Muito bom! Super recomendo! A qualidade é sensacional, o único ponto negativo é que ele não grava som interno, mas fora isso, muito bom mesmo! Estou a um tempão tentando achar um bom gravador de tela, e eu acho que eu achei❤️.
