React to a video, commentate on it, or explain it: record yourself over any clip, photo or set of slides, and pause, scrub back or draw on it without ever stopping the take. Or talk straight to camera with a teleprompter scrolling your script. Reacts is a facecam recorder and video editor for anyone who talks over video: reaction creators, commentators, experts, coaches, teachers and tutorial makers. Record it, caption it and edit it in one app. REACT & COMMENTATE - Play a video or photo and record your face beside it, over it, or anywhere you like - Pause and scrub the clip while recording: freeze on the moment, replay it, talk over it - Pause the clip hands-free with your headphones' button or a keyboard's Space bar - Draw on screen mid-take in six colors, and clear it with a tap - Mute the clip while you talk, or keep it under your voice - Pause your own take with the shutter, delete the last bit if you fluffed it, and carry on. It all ends up as one clip EXPLAIN & TEACH - Line up several photos, screenshots or clips as slides, then step through them while you talk - Reorder, add or remove slides right on the camera screen - Circle the detail that matters with the pen, freeze the frame, rewind and go again - Put yourself in front of your material with Green Screen.

Some moments need two views: the thing being watched, and the face watching it. ReactCam plays a video on your phone while the front camera records the reaction — or rolls both cameras at once, so you keep what you pointed at and your own face seeing it. One take, in sync, nothing missed. HOW IT WORKS 1. Choose what they'll react to — a video from your Camera Roll or Files — or just roll both cameras live. 2. Hit record. ReactCam captures their face and the source video together, in sync. 3. Lay the two videos out however you like, balance the sound, and save straight to Photos. RECORD BOTH SIDES AT ONCE Dual Camera runs the front and back cameras together, so you catch what happened and who saw it in a single take. REACT TO ANY VIDEO Import from your Camera Roll or Files and react while it plays. The video and the reaction land in sync, every time. LAY IT OUT YOUR WAY Drag to move, pinch to resize. Put their face where it belongs, at the size it deserves. Works in portrait and landscape. BALANCE THE SOUND Independent volume for each track, so the reaction never gets buried under the video — or the other way round. KEEP EVERY REACTION Projects holds on to your recordings, so you can come back later, change the layout, and export again. Nothing is locked to the first version you made. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything happens on your iPhone. No account. No uploads. No tracking. No data collected, ever. Your videos never leave your device — which is exactly what you want from an app you point at your family. REACTCAM PRO Free to try, with 5 exports and 5 saved projects included. Unlock unlimited exports and projects with a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no ads, no watermarks.
