Mideo: Record Video With Music Reviews

by Bdhdhjsusid

got Mideo because i FIGURED it would work better than others SINCE you have to pay for it... learned my lesson... had glitches when i used it.. music would stop.. worked after about 3 attempts(for each recording!!!) recorded a few vids.. the first short one took forever to “save itself” (after you record it has to save ITSELF- if it doesnt do this-BOOM!!! your vid is GONE!!) DONT refresh either.. your vid will be GONE!! The other vid i made wasnt downloading.. it was taking tooo long- error message would appear- many times- apparently it had trouble downloading.. and then suddenly it was BOOM.. GONE FOREVER... AGHHHHHH!!! and when you look for answers.... the FAQ will already have a response to this issue.. “its NOT Mideo ...its YOUR PHONE...” Hmmmm.. they even have a “refund” quick guide... GO FIGURE.. seriously!!! STAY AWAY.. i imagine the good reviews on here are from the excited first time users who couldnt wait to review this before they actually got to work with it?? idk... THIEVES!!! I REGRET buying this crap..

The idea behind Mideo is wonderful but the reality is it isn’t consistent and will not always save your videos. The only thing consistent about Mideo is knowing it won’t save all of your videos! There is nothing like getting a new PR and going back to discover it randomly decided which videos it did or didn’t wanna save! If I had the energy to check my camera roll after every set or email the videos to myself each time to ensure I got them, sure, it would be worth it. But Mideo is supposed to make things easier and it has done the exact opposite.

So, I d/l this after reading reviews thinking it could work. I was looking to sing and record myself at the same time over an instrumental. It wouldn’t work if I had the camera facing me using the button to flip the camera, but instead I had to manually turn my phone around to face me. I played the music on my phone and then would begin recording, seemed to work fine, but when I played it back each time all I could hear was myself sing and no music. I ended up using my own camera on my iPhone to record myself by propping it up on my laptop to face me, played the instrumental from my laptop as well and used an iRig Pre and Shure microphone plugged into my iPhone to successfully do what I was hoping to do.

While Mideo tried to provide a way to do this, unfortunately it didn’t work. I don’t think there should be a charge unless it’s doing what it says it will do.

So I bought Mideo only because I’m so tired of pausing my music in order to record video (probably like most of users). Anyways, I’m recording video with music on the background, when done and trying to tap use this video it keeps showing me bug (error saving. There is insufficient free disk space to cope asset file. ) like c’mon I don’t even care for music in my video, just want to listen to my playlist and record video.
Very disappointed right now.

I love Mideo so much when it works... but this week alone I’ve lost so many videos due to insufficient space (I have plenty - I checked before recording and regularly clear out old texts, apps, and videos/photos). Now it won’t even attempt to record despite rebooting my phone and clearing out even more space. It just goes immediately to a black screen. When it’s good, it’s an amazing app and so helpful, but it’s been very unreliable lately.

Hi there

I bought Mideo specifically so I could listen to my music on my headphones and be able to record music to video. Your description very clearly says it works for headphones, but then your FAQ states that Apple doesn’t allow that for privacy reasons. Though I understand this reasoning, I did specifically buy this for that function. I also noticed you’re really great about responding to people and trying to rectify any issues so that was another reason I chose to support Mideo so I’m sure we’ll chat! All good, just thought I’d mention it.

App is sometimes slow and there have been a few many cases where it does not actually save my video. Other than that it works as advertised.

Edit: had an issue when switching to a new phone where it did not recognize that I had previously paid for Mideo . Emailed the developer and got a refund for purchasing Mideo again. Super fast response and very helpful guy!

Would recommend Mideo over other competitors!

by Malachi Ledbetter

I use it so I can listen to music while recording my lifts so I can analyze my form and for that I works great. However I wish I was able to record in slow motion so I could get a better look at some of the explosive movements like power cleans. Other than that Mideo works well for its intended purpose. With the slow mo option would easily be 5 stars.

This is my go to recording app for hosting sports activities. I play music and take videos so that participants can see it on our Instagram after the games. After the latest update, I can’t Zoom and I can no longer choose not to use clips…those were features I used constantly. People didn’t always make a good play and choosing not to save it was great. Then i could simply clear the cache to get rid of the memory. Please bring back those features

I bought Mideo to record and watch my dance videos b/c snapchat had the same feature but had a cap of 50 seconds per video. It’s a really good app overall i can imagine it could be used for multiple purposes. JUST ONE SUGGESTION. if you guys could have a way to record audio coming from the airpod connected to the iphone. Because i tried playing music with airpods on then recorded using Mideo , and realized after that the video only played audio from my surroundings and not the music that was playing into my airpods at the time. This would be a pretty dope feature thanks!

I bought this to record videos of me working for a video training catalog for my cleaning company. I like to listen to podcasts while I clean, and I am also working on making our training more efficient, so this gives me the option to record training clips while I work, while also not interrupting my podcasts or music, so it doesn’t add time to my shift while adding efficiency! 👍

I am an Olympic weightlifter that lifts alone on a military installation and required to use headphones. I have to record my videos for my coach and whenever I would record my music would stop and I wanted music. Mideo helped. At first it didn’t seem to work with my Fit Rafio account but with the quick response and effort from will he figured it out in no time. Super fast responses.

Bought Mideo when it was paid to install back then and had to reinstall so the Pro didn’t get applied. He e-mailed me back right away and repaid me to just repurchase Mideo for less hassle. He’s offering to pay those who gets double charged (if they paid for Mideo before when it was pay-to-install and had to reinstall with the updated version) Thanks Will!

by BosPower

I love Mideo. I like to crank music during my sets to stay in the zone. If I want to record my form to check for imbalances and not having music always threw me off. My only problem with Mideo is if you go to stop recording and accidentally hit record again, the set you just recorded doesn’t get saved. Is there a way the developers can prevent this from happening? Maybe an alert can pop up asking if you want to save the previous recording before recording a new one? Or, how about something in settings where you can choose to always save a video once you finish recording without always having to tap ‘use video’ at the end of every set.

Ok, this does exactly what it says, but here is what earns it the 5 stars. I messaged the dev, Will Said, and his response was quick and to the point. Part of what makes an app great is how well the developer listens AND responds. Without response, people are left wondering if their questions & comments had been heard. I think it’s important to reward good developers as I most certainly chastise the ones who don’t care. If you have suggestions, if there is something you don’t like, let Will know. I’m not saying he will make those changes, but I’m pretty sure that he will respond to you one wY or the other. Take care and enjoy. I hope my review is helpful.

I recently came here after deleting Mideo because of a feature that apparently auto records when you open Mideo . Just reinstalled it again after seeing they turn that option to default. Great job, pretty happy to see an issue fix so fast 🤙🏼

Mideo is great! I am a drummer using an iRig2 to record drumming with music. Mideo allows me to record my drumming with a song playing simultaneously with a click of a button.

I had an error saving videos, emailed Mideo creator, and he fixed it with an update in just a day!

Only drawback is that the song needs to be playing already when you start the video. You can’t start the video and then exit to play the song.

I’m a powerlifter and I downloaded Mideo so I could listen to my music and record my sets, which it lets me do and that’s great, but I have lost 2 videos because when I try to save it to my camera roll it says saved to camera roll and I go there and their is no video, please get this fixed, if that is fixed then Mideo would be perfect, would be 5 stars.

by Brehit

Very helpful, just two suggestions: an option to only record the music playing in my headphones, and moving the trimming feature from the top of the screen. On iPhones it’s frustrating when the notifications keep getting pulled down when you’re editing.
Otherwise, GREAT APP, AND IT NEVER LOSES YOUR VIDS like other apps (shade intended). Also, it reports how much space your phone has left. KEYS.

I needed an app that wouldn’t conflict with my music for training. It’s helped me see my individual technique and get better without being in complete silence. Super easy to use.

I had an error this morning saving my videos. I contacted help and received an email within an hour. The new update fixed the issue and I got my videos saved that I thought I had lost.

Worth the purchase!

I purchased for a simple video to send amidst COVID-19 quarantine. The forward facing camera kept cutting out of the audio and causing me to exit Mideo and restart my music. I eventually gave up because it was such a hassle to use. When I went to report this to Apple and get a refund for my $2.99, they indicated this wasn’t eligible for a refund even though the tech did not work for me.

Not impressed with product or service. Strong encourage you to consider another app.

by Jdkxjndjwnfjrn

Will plugged his app in a few online questions about adding background music to videos (on Quora and the like). He said specifically, "I made this app so you can put background music in a video." I get to Mideo and discover in the FAQs that Apple doesn't allow you to add the background music to the video for privacy reasons.

One star for false advertising, honesty is the best policy. I'll be refunding. Seems like a pretty cool app for powerlifters who still want their hype music while they record their workout though.

PLEASE make videos automatically save through Mideo !!! There has been a few times I recorded videos and if I don’t have space on my phone Mideo will tell me I don’t have sufficient space and automatically delete without giving me the option to delete photos/videos on my phone😭😭 I know you have the confirmation of a retake, but sometimes it doesn’t give me that option. That would make Mideo soo perfect!

by Baheas

Mideo wasn’t trimming my videos initially, so I reached out to the developer who immediately got back to me and walked me through some troubleshooting steps. Ended up just needing to restart my phone to get the trimming to save. Fantastic app that fills an important gap in the iPhone’s capabilities!

by Swole Na

Def a game changer in my workouts. No more having to choose between listening to your music or recording your gym progress with your phone! You can do both with his easy-to-use app. High quality recording too!

by Dr. Cupcakes

Works as advertise, no issues experienced thus far. Does drain the battery quite a bit but considering all it’s doing isn’t surprising. Just make sure to have an ample charge before a recording session. All in all, great app. Appreciate it 🤝

by Jared Eatfresh

Mideo does as it’s intended, but know it does record from your microphone. Video is clear, unlike Snapchats. But you cannot choose 1080 or 4K. I will say I use Mideo more now when I’m wanting to record then import to Snapchat then I did when I wrote my first review.

Anyways, I hope this review helps.

Im always trying to record videos in the gym or outside while playing sports and now I can finally do it. It didn’t work the first time but ever since it has worked perfectly with no hiccups.
