You can set the buffer up to 100 seconds using the timer button. ### 5/5 — Very responsive! *2020-05-24* Great app. Contacted the developer with questions, got great response, problems solved in less than 24 hours. Michal takes pride in his work and cares about his customers. Check out his other great apps, like VideoReplaySportOfficials. ### 5/5 — Remote shutter control *2020-04-05* This is a great video capture app that will allow you to capture the video of an event before the shutter is activated. The prerecord time is adjustable up to 25 seconds, so you can do you own instant replay of an event. I am using it to capture the video of a trap operation just before the trap is tripped. The shutter control is operated by a simple standard Bluetooth selfie camera shutter button. This is the only app with this unique feature and it works perfectly. ### 5/5 — Awesome app especially for sports or kids! *2019-11-08* This is great for capturing those that great kick or shot or save when your kid is playing a sport. Works very smoothly and easily. Be sure to set the resolution you want. Only thing that would make it better is if you could choose the lens it uses or zoom in. ### 5/5 — Génialissime !! *2019-10-24* Franchement c’est très efficace. Le fait d’utiliser la mémoire tampon permet de déclencher l’enregistrement que lorsqu’on juge l’action intéressante. Du coup plus besoin de sélectionner ou de découper de longues séquences. De plus j’arrive à utiliser le mode avec 240fps sur mon iPhone et j’ai des images ralenties splendides. Merci pour cette appli. ### 5/5 — Good app for getting that thing you just missed! *2019-10-20* Great video app that allows you to clip that thing you just saw and capture it. I find that for referee education setting it to a 15 second delay is sufficient....you can always edit in iMovie afterwards! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This sucks *2026-08-12* This sucks its all a money grab ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2025-11-21* the app freezes when saving clips **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. I apologize for the inconvenience. Could you please provide more details about your issue using the “Contact Us” link in the Settings? Does the freezing occur every time, or only with a specific setup (such as save destination, frame rate, camera, buffer time, etc.)? The more information we have, the better we can assist you. Thank you! ### 1/5 — Expensive subscription for what? *2025-09-05* First feature I tried to use told me I need to sign up for a subscription to use it. $5 a WEEK!!! why?! You’re not storing my videos or providing any cloud type services. Why should I pay you weekly for this? Bye Felicia! **Developer response:** Thanks for sharing your thoughts. ### 1/5 — No 4K. Constantly tried to refocus. And video wobbles. *2022-05-05, version 2.1* I feel a little duped here. In the instructions it says any frame rate and resolution. However, it doesn’t do 4K. It didn’t mention that. And for £4.99 I feel duped. The video sometimes also wobbles badly, I mean really badly. It could have something to do with video stabilisation, not sure, but the result is unusable. Sometimes it does it, sometimes it doesnt. And the autofocus constantly tries to refocus every second or so. I’ve requested a refund as it’s unusable to me. ### 2/5 — 刚刚官方发售的防脱 *2026-08-20* 有风格阿瑟人官方公告大幅度的v发vv发v官方v个非常差！ ### 2/5 — No 4K. Doesn’t retain resolution frame rate settings. *2021-06-23* No 4K. Doesn’t retain resolution frame rate settings. **Developer response:** Please check out the latest version - there is 4K now! ### 3/5 — Could be good, but *2026-04-18* 4 seconds is WAY too short for the maximum free length. I would say 10 seconds would be a good amount. and as for the paid version, having a subscription is just unnecessary. I would not pay a weekly subscription of 6 euros. I would much rather just pay once for a lifetime access to all settings than a subscription. So in short, could be a good app, but the free version is just too limited and the paid version is just not worth buying. **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest review. I understand your concerns about the subscription model, but at this time, it's the only payment option that works for us as an indie developer. We appreciate your understanding. ### 3/5 — Price is too much. *2026-01-20* £29.99 every year is just far too much for most. You’re losing customers because we can’t afford it when similar apps (eg Dideye) do the same for waaaay less than this. Shame because yours is a great app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you think the app is great; it truly means a lot to us. Video Buffer is a niche app built for a specific use case, and we continuously improve it based on user feedback. Since we operate on a subscription-only pricing model, the cost reflects the expenses associated with ongoing development, maintenance, and support. We understand that the annual price may still seem high, but we believe the value you'll receive makes it worthwhile. We appreciate your support! ### 3/5 — Great Potential *2025-09-17, version 3.3* The idea is really good, but there are some opportunities to attend: 1. The applewatch feature doesn’t work consistently (sometimes it get stucked and other times it doesn’t appear as main page when viewing watch). 2. Sometimes the audio is delayed from the video. 3. It would be nice yo have multiple buttons on applewatch so one can decide to click 10s, 20s, 30s or 1min for example. ### 3/5 — Almost Pefect *2023-10-14* Best app of its kind. Unfortunately the app constantly takes up storage if you’re recording or not. The app should not keep gigabytes of data- everything should be saved to photos. I have to constantly delete and redownload the app to free up the space. Kinda defeats the whole purpose. This should be addressed, will be worth 5 stars once fixed. **Developer response:** Edit: Please check out the newest version, we fixed the storge problem. Thanks Hi! Thanks for your feedback. We will address it as soon as possible! Sorry for the issue. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app awesome for Vollyeball *2026-08-24* I’ve been using this app for years and have seen the developer really make progress with the product and tools. It’s fantastic for Vollyeball. I have literally thousands of clips of my daughters and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We’re glad our app can support your girls' volleyball journey! ### 5/5 — Best Volleyball Parent App *2026-05-17* This captures all the best moments while I can still enjoy watching the game. She can watch her highlights on the way home. I have already passed this app on to over 10 other parents. Must have if you are recording your kids. **Developer response:** Thank you for the five-star rating! We appreciate your support. Good luck on the volleyball court! ### 5/5 — This is my go to driver training app! *2025-11-27* Game changer for driver training. I use this app to capture both forward facing and in cab video so it looks just like a DriveCam event. The rolling buffer means I never miss a moment, wide turns, late signals, mirror misses, missed hazards, anything. It’s perfect for quick post trip coaching and has noticeably improved how fast new drivers pick up safe habits. Simple setup, huge impact. If you train drivers, get this app. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your detailed 5 star review!!! ### 5/5 — Great app for kids’ sports. Thank you *2024-09-30* Perfect for capturing key moments **Developer response:** Thank you for the lovely review :) ### 5/5 — Great app now with audio-only mode *2024-05-09* This is a great app and should get more attention. Super simple and effective. Great for catching those rates moments in video or audio that otherwise get lost in a huge recording. As a musician I use it during jams to capture snippets when something particularly interesting happens. Let's me review those without listening through a super long recording of the whole jam. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for the idea and the 5 star review! ### 5/5 — Capturing only the good moments *2024-03-21* I'm glad this app existed when I went looking for it! I like capturing my kids sports on video. We put them on our media server and they can be fun to watch back. But it's also a lot of games and a lot of disk space. And believe it or not, with kids sports, not all of its compelling viewing. :-) I've been wishing I had a way to easily save the highlights. VideoBuffer to the rescue. I can just tap the shutter after something "interesting" happens and save only that. The developer is also nice enough to list contact info in the app. When I reached out with a suggestion, he was receptive to my feedback and just generally really responsive. **Developer response:** We're thrilled Video Buffer met your needs. Thanks for sharing your feedback!!! We wish you many good moments to capture. Happy recording! ### 5/5 — perfect for kids sports. *2022-04-23* you won’t miss a thing! perfect to capture those golden moments. ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS *2022-02-05, version 2.0* I love this app, and my phone storage loves it also!!! Instead of keeping long videos of all the dull parts, this lets you trigger on only the pieces we want to keep. When you review your videos, you’ll have only the special moments! **Developer response:** Thanks a lot!!! ### 5/5 — Great app. *2021-03-30* Exactly what I needed. Using it to make a compilation of my dog sighing. ### 5/5 — Best tool *2020-12-25, version 1.19* I’ve looked for years for something like this that has a rolling video buffer. So glad I found it! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
