Ratings and reviews

The main idea is excellent but there are many work to do in this app yet. Examples: - it should list video config only supported by device. You have to try & error to discover what your phone supports. In my case, for example, I don't understand why the config doesn't work with UHD 60fps if my device does. - could be an option to export the video with the map, speed, date and other info as overlay in the video.

This would actually be a really decent BodyCam recorder but for a few issues: 1. its not been updated for 5 years! 2. Focus just does not work, regardless of settings, its always fuzzy 3. Auto exposure for dark/night recording is too dark 4. the lat/lon & other data does not appear to be overlaid into the captured video. Very unfortunate issues, as otherwise this would be an excellent BodyCam app worthy of 5 stars.

With help of Automate (another application similar to Tasker) I created a condition to start the background recording after plugging my phone into the holder so that it won't start taking video provided only with power. The recording starts itself, there's no need even to light the screen up and search for any shortcuts. However.. For the condition to work free version of Automate isn't enough (as number of elements in the condition exceeds free limit). So I had to spend few $ on it myself. But now it works as required. I've built this condition myself. Here goo.gl/DNwQj4 is a link to Automate right to the condition. All the rest is handled by Road Recorder without significant issues.
