Has potential. However, as this app is designed to be at least somewhat secretive, it kind of makes that more difficult when you go to stop a recording and it starts blairing the add music. Even if you have your media volume all the way down, the app automatically turns it back up and blairs add music. So just be aware of that if you plan on using this app in a surreptitious manner.

DO NOT USE! I successfully recorded a serious crime with this but my phone storage ran out.. no worries I thought, I'll move the recording to SD Card. GOODNESS what a joke that turned out to be. It seems you can change directory from this app, but CANNOT move your recording (yet it still plays from this app's "gallery" 🤔). NO other gallery app could access it, & to top things off, I couldn't even move the default folder BACK from the memory card to phone. Had to uninstall, losing essential data

Gah! NEGATIVE 5 STARS! I got the evidence I needed to catch my husband and then he deleted the video while I was in the restroom! There isn't a trash bin and the video is gone! The evidence I NEED is freakin GONE! 2 videos didn't even continue recording either. It stops in like 20 seconds. The one that actually went longer is the one I need!😒 I tried reaching out to these people and not one person gets back to you!
