Reported bugs

The sound inside the phone overcome my voice; The recording sign was still on my screen and then I tried getting rid of it by pressing stop but it was still there and it still won't come of; Every time I record something it doesn't get saved into the videos at all; None of my videos recorded, and when I tried to hit the play button it just showed the play icon with a slash through it, and wouldn't show anything but a black screen.

SucksDon’t record long enough, they make it hard to cancel. This should be illegal to do this to people

Loads very slowly, slows down and lags.And the developers want to sell the subscription to earn money. what’s the point of paying for? for the slowing application?

quiximi123, Sep 4, 2026

No scamAll of the other apps were scammed at seen for money and pain, but this app you don’t have to pay to save it. I don’t even know if you know what I mean.
