With Pre-Recorder, you have all the important moments on video! The app already records before you decided to do so. This takes no storage on your iPhone until you press the record button. This saves the pre-recorded video and continues to record as usual. This opens awesome possibilities: - Animal observations (Wait until the whale breaches …) - Sports events (Just point the camera into the direction while following the game. When a great scene happens, a klick is enough to save it forever) - Weather phenomena (The thunderstorm is really rolling? You have it on video after the flash!) - Stunts and Challenges (Your bottleflip needs 100 tries? No worries: let the app run and hit the button once you mastered the task) The best: you only record the scenes that you really want to have – without any post-editing and ready to share immediately on social media. No one is faster! Portrait or landscape format? It doesn't matter, the app adjusts to the current orientation of the device. Once the recording is started, there is no further switching between the orientations. The in-app purchase unlocks the full functionality of the app: - Up to 10 seconds of film before pressing the shutter button - Record in HD quality (1080p) - No watermark in the recorded video Need more features?
