## What is Video Pause?

Video Pause simply allows you to record, pause, resume and stop video.

▸ No lengthy and tedious editing, splicing and combining of numerous clips when all you really needed was a pause button

▸ Capture your kids sports action sequences in one clip (Yes, soccer and little league parents, this app was made for you) and then easily re-watch that back on your Apple TV (item sold separately).

▸ Universal App: One price fits all (use for your iPad, iPhone and/or iPod Touch and pay only once)


▶ Some features include:

▸ Ability to snap photos while recording video

▸ Ability to Zoom while recording, paused or stopped (device must support video zooming)

▸ Square video capture support (Thanks for your patience Vine fans! See the 'Video Aspect Ratio' option under settings)

▸ Not only is Square (1:1 aspect ratio) supported, you are now able to record video holding device vertically (Portrait) but getting landscape (16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios) output! (Again, see the 'Video Aspect Ratio' option under settings)

▸ SWIPE UP to access photos library so you can view and play what you just recorded (Recording must be paused or stopped)

▸ SWIPE LEFT or RIGHT to access settings

▸ If you leave the app, get a phone call or turn off the device, you now have the options to automatically save, pause or discard the video when recording or in pause mode (See 'When Leaving app (Multicasting)' under settings)

▸ Video stabilization is automatically enabled but can also be disabled (Configurable under settings)

▸ To pause/resume video simply tap once anywhere on the screen (Also configurable)

### 4/5 — Works well, Flip camera needs fix

*2025-11-21*

The app is simple, clean, and works as advertised—especially the ability to pause and resume video recording. However, there’s one major problem: in landscape mode, when switching from the rear camera to the front selfie camera, the recording appears normal while filming but the saved selfie clip ends up upside down. This needs to be fixed.

### 5/5 — Remote button

*2022-11-08*

There are numerous remote buttons available for the default camera app on iPhone, but none that work with this particular camera pause application, or other similar products. Does anyone know if there is a button that will work with this?

### 1/5 — No sound

*2021-09-16*

Im aware toa free . It randomly saves videos WITHOUT sound . Avoid using it for important tasks.

Second loss of sound on critical footage. Very bad and Unreliable Indian app. We are abandoning it. If you prize your filing footage do NOT risk it here .

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2021-01-26, version 1.9.7*

Doesn’t work on iPhone 12. Videos not saved anywhere and gets itself in a state where you can’t do anything with it.

### 1/5 — DOES NOT SAVE AFTER RECORDING

*2020-10-19, version 1.9.7*

Very very frustrated.. I used this app believing that it would help record my online Q&A questions.
I recorded the questions and paused video to look at the answer and then continue to record..
Most clips where 25 min long.. As soon as I finished and went to press the Red button to save,it stops.. 
only seems to do it on longer clips..
Waste of Time spend..

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-09-18, version 1.9.7*

Hi! I really love this app, super easy to use. 

But i would really like some help I filmed a really important video yesterday and it didn’t save to my camera roll, I was wondering if you had anyways if locating the file and getting it to me? I would be forever grateful!

### 4/5 — Useful app for iPhones

*2020-05-16*

Many times I have to edit my iPhone videos, but you can only Trim front or back. There are times you cannot avoid unwanted subjects interrupting the event, so you put up with it. Not any more! I notice unwanted intruder... Pause... and Continue when intruder is passed.  The newer Setup avoids those bugs people encountered in the past. 
I do notice the Color with this app is warmer, than Apple.  Still, it is just fine for me.  The $$ is no problem. Thanks :)    - KSz

### 1/5 — This App is JUNK

*2020-01-12*

This app is junk.  It shows that video is stopped and restarted when proper button is pressed then press again to restart.  However videos are then accessed to view you might see a few frames but nothing else.  You might have taken 5 minutes of videos but all that shows is just 2 or 3 frames of the video.  Total waste of $1.99.  Can’t understand why Apple keeps it in the App Store.  Nd Fine

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2019-09-23*

I had to record myself for a project, but after I was done the video had no sound at all

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-07-04*

Don’t waste your time!
