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.

React to any video or photo and walk away with a clip that's ready to post — no editing afterwards. ReactShow records you with the front camera while a video or photos from your library play on screen. When you stop, the final file is already put together: both perfectly in sync, in the right shape for vertical short-form video. PICK YOUR LAYOUT • Split screen: you on top, the video below (or the other way around), with the divider wherever you want it. • Picture-in-picture (PiP): your camera in a small window over the video — drag it to any corner. • Background cutout: the app removes your background in real time and places you over the video. The green screen effect, without a green screen. • Dual camera: front and back cameras recording at the same time, so you can react to what's in front of you. • Switch layouts while recording: the final video repeats every change you made. RECORD WITH CONFIDENCE • Floating teleprompter: your script scrolls right next to the camera, so you keep looking at your audience. • Script library: save your scripts and reuse them anytime. • Photo slides: line up a sequence of images and comment on each one. FINISH IN SECONDS • Automatic pause removal: the app finds the silences and trims the dead air. Nothing is deleted from the original recording, so you can always undo. • 9:16, 4:5 and 16:9 formats, in 1080p or up to 4K. • Save straight to Photos and post anywhere. MADE FOR Reaction videos, news commentary, game and trailer breakdowns, product reviews, lessons, meme reactions, testimonials — any content where your face is part of the story. REACTSHOW PRO The ReactShow Pro subscription unlocks: • Real-time background cutout • Teleprompter and script library • Automatic pause removal • 4K export • No watermark Monthly and yearly plans are available, with a 1-week free trial for eligible new subscribers.
