Ratings and reviews

To be fair, I think this is still the first version isn't it? I remember asking for a mobile app a while ago... That being said, right now it's much better to install scrcpy on your desktop, plug your phone to the PC via USB, turn on ADB debugging on your phone and mirror your phone into your desktop (their GitHub page explains how it works). Once there, you can use Loom on your desktop to record your phone. Scrcpy can also record video, but if you depend on Loom's platform, this is also a viable way to do it. The mirroring has great performance and video quality, so chances are the video will look even better if recorded from the desktop side instead of from the device itself. All of that out of the way, here is my actual review on this app: - After I started recording, I closed the app as an instinctive behaviour and couldn't then find the UI to stop recording, so I assumed it stopped. I opened the page and it said it was uploading. This was taking very long so then I assumed it might have not actually stopped and was stuck so I restarted my phone and that recording ceased to exist in the page as well - Add an icon to the quick settings to start recording - Add a non-UI based way to stop recording such as shaking the device - Edit: just lost another star because it seems you share uploads publicly. I've just seen a "Recent Videos" tab with videos from a person I don't know. I've been recording things that can't be publicly published. How can I know it's not being shown to random people in the app as well? I need the publishing link, but I want only the people I send the link to to be able to see it.

I have had a great experience recording meetings with Loom on my devices. I was especially pleased when I discovered I could record on my phone as well 👏👏👌 Pretty cool. Only downside is when there is a glitch while recording it no audio it would be helpful if there was a way to be notified that no audio is being recorded. It is disappointing to finish recording and discover there was no audio recording which defeats the purpose for recording 😕. Apart from that great application!

Wow, I detest this program. It really needs to provude a 10 second delay when you're recording a screen plus talking. Anything less than that does not provide enough time to get from the Loom screen to the document and set the phone down to record video, too. I am using the Android app and it sucks.
