I can just rerecord them! By the way, the music audio works amazing for me (It connects to my spotify easily) and i have little to no issues with this app <3 ### 4/5 — Good but has issues. *2025-12-20* I’m not one to leave reviews usually but there seems to only be 1 star reviews and I don’t agree with that. It’s been functional for what I’m doing for the most part. If you’re looking to record a video past 4-5 minutes you might have some issues. Around that time the screen will gradually start to go black over a few seconds. If it does go fully black then you lose the recording no matter what you do after. So you either have to react to the screen going gray and click it before it goes black or you lose your video. It does have some other little bugs that some of the other reviews have mentioned but I don’t think it’s a bad product at all overall. In conclusion it does everything it says it will with some limitations. ### 1/5 — Vum doesn’t work *2024-11-30* I have used this app multiple times and almost every time it doesn’t record what I’m doing so I’ll take a video and then it doesn’t save to camera role or the app! I have given it multiple chances and some of the time it works but most of the time it doesn’t! This is why I have you this rating! You have to fix this or else I’ll post this on insta and saying why it’s a bad app! ### 1/5 — Same issue videos not always saving *2024-08-25* Title and other reviews say enough 1 star till obvious issue is fixed. Workaround: uninstall and reinstall app after EACH video saved. ### 1/5 — Same issue videos not always saving *2024-07-03* Title and other reviews say enough 1 star till obvious issue is fixed. Workaround: uninstall and reinstall app after EACH video saved. ### 3/5 — Same issue videos not always saving *2024-06-03* Title and other reviews say enough ### 1/5 — Lost recording and times out *2024-03-06* I used your app today and i was highly disappointed in it. You claim you can record and listen to music at the same time while using your app. First off the app kept timing it and going black while recording. The app said it was recording but then the only thing in my camera roll was 6 accidental pictures i took when using it and nothing recorded even tho the app said it was. When the screen timed out the music stopped for a minute and then the app didn’t record as well even when the screen was on it didn’t record. If it’s timing out that means the phone doesn’t register it’s doing anything and then i set my phone to leave the screen on and still the app didn’t record so i lost roughly an hour of recording while i was trying to use both my hands pushing a rollater and listen to music. let alone i delete the app and letting you know it doesn’t work the way you advertised it to work. ### 3/5 — Video just doesn’t save? *2023-12-28* It’s free and it works... except for when my five minute drum recording just miraculously disappears and doesn’t save to my photos as if it wasn’t even taking video? This needs to be fixed. ### 5/5 — This is actually free and works *2023-11-13* Wow ## Frequently asked questions about Vum ### Does Vum have ads? No, Vum does not contain advertisements.
