Take overlapping screenshots. Double-tap the back of your iPhone. Find your long image in Photos. Set up the included shortcut once, then use Back Tap to stitch a small batch without opening LongShot. No dragging images into order or adjusting seams by hand. SET UP BACK TAP 1. Open LongShot once and allow Full Photos Access for automatic screenshot detection. 2. In About, open the Back Tap guide and add the shared shortcut. Confirm Add Shortcut in Shortcuts, then run it once to finish any permission prompts. 3. Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap. Choose Double Tap or Triple Tap and select your saved shortcut. 4. Take two or three consecutive screenshots of the same scrolling view, leaving recognizable overlap. Keep your iPhone unlocked, use the gesture, then check the result in Photos. WHY LONGSHOT β’ Back Tap to stitch. A gesture starts the shortcut; a reliable small batch is stitched and saved in the background. Your original screenshots stay in Photos. β’ Checked overlap. LongShot verifies how neighboring screenshots connect before automatic stitching. Uncertain matches may need another try or a quick check in the app. Inspect the joins before sharing. β’ Your screenshots stay private. Image processing happens on your iPhone. Screenshots are not uploaded. No ads and no LongShot account to create. Apple and RevenueCat process purchase information and entitlement checks; they do not receive your screenshots. β’ Original-width PNG. Keep the original pixels in one long image. Share it from the app or save it to Photos. GOOD FOR Chat conversations, comment threads, articles, receipts, orders, notes and other scrolling content. Take screenshots yourself; LongShot joins them. It does not record your screen or scroll other apps for you. PREFER TO OPEN THE APP? LongShot checks recent screenshots and shows a preview when it finds a reliable match. You can also select images yourself. Full Photos Access enables automatic detection; manual selection is available with limited access. Optional source cleanup requires your confirmation in iOS. Back Tap works best for small batches. Larger tasks, limited photo access, uncertain matches, low device resources or an exhausted allowance may require the app. In-app capacity adapts to available resources, up to 100 screenshots. FREE TO START Your first 10 successful stitches per calendar month are free. After that, you can still preview a result; saving, sharing and shortcut export require an optional one-time Lifetime Unlock. No subscription. Your local price is shown before purchase. Restore Purchases is available in the app. People whose verified first App Store download was before October 1, 2026 (UTC+8) keep unlimited access. Requires iOS 16 or later. Back Tap also requires a compatible iPhone, Shortcuts and the one-time setup above. Questions or ideas: longshotapp@163.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: LongShot at weekly against GetVideoFrames's every 2 months. LongShot also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
