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

Wanted to use this as a 'BodyCam' which keeps recording when the screen is off. But the 'subtitles' section doesn't seem to allow recording GPS data onto the video (ideally a map with street address lookup would be useful). I tried "Droid Dashcam" app, it's pretty good but lacks a small map with 'breadcrumb' track embedded into the video.

The application is really great, I ride a motorcycle and the feature really suits my need. I used it as my dashcam and secret recorder for my security during my ride. Recording while having google on my screen. One question though. Using my default camera the video recorded on my night vision lense is smooth while the a bit grainy in this app. It is using the IR LED. I could not find any setting to improved it. Is there a plan for updates? My phone is oukitel wp39.
