Ratings and reviews

It seems to continue recording but then only saves one hour of it...is that an android thing?? I disabled battery operation, lowered resolution, and kept phone plugged in. I'll change the stars if I get a fix on this. App still came in *really* handy even tho only for an hour! Edit: thanks for responding! I want to record all night as a security camera. It only saves 3 or 4 hour-long files but no more than that. I have plenty of storage on my phone. Updating from 2 stars to 3

Excellent app. There are no full screen ads or pop-ups. Just unobtrusive overlays. You can easily choose any lens for both cameras . I had a bug where the widget wouldn't start recording and it said because I didn't allow it to display over top of other apps. But I did have it allowed. After I closed the Uber Driver app which also displays over top other apps, this issue went away. Even with Uber Driver open the issue has not come back. Not sure if that was the cause/fix of the bug.

Works well with zero ads so far. Only been using it for a couple days. It does drain the battery fast though, because it's always running in the background, even when you're not recording a video.
