Premium user here. Phenomenal app! Truly does what it says it does. One small critique for dev. There can be "writing to disk" issues when nearing the end of a recording session, and the device runs out of disk space. Was able to retrieve and recover some of the media file with a third-party app. This can be device or scenario specific. Great app.

It frequently stops recording videos for no reason and the only way to see the part it did record is to use file recovery software. So I have to keep checking it's still recording which kinda defeats the whole "ninja" idea.
