The last update changed what is advertised. The preview window on the black screen can no longer be removed. Defeats the purpose of the whole app. There is also now an issue with video mode. App is freezing after the first video. I paid for the app and I want what I paid for. It was good in the beginning but the most recent update is making me not recommend it due to not working as advertised. Please fix it to what it should be.

Initially this app was amazing, and it did wonders in both free version and the paid one. However, as of the most recent update, they removed some of the most useful features, like the ability to enable previews or change the image that’s on the camera. Now there’s no option regarding the preview, there’s always a preview now, and there’s no option to change the image on the camera either. Their most recent update regarding apples policies might’ve had something to do with it, still, it’s ridiculous. It’s now not as discreet as it should be. It’s unfortunate because it’s a great app as well.

This app WOULD be excellent for capturing domestic violence situations without alerting your abusive family member that you are recording. Unfortunately the gesture for turning video recording on and off is the same (tap the screen once to begin recording and once again to end recording) so it’s impossible to know whether you are recording or not as the tense situation unfolds. In such a situation is just not possible to take your eyes off the situation and check your screen. To be useful, the gesture for turning the recording on and off needs to be different; perhaps swiping up over 2/3rds of the screen would turn the recording on and swiping down would turn it off, and repeat swiping in the same direction would have no effect so you could swipe up several times and be assured that it is recording. Otherwise as I have unfortunately experienced, the whole situation can be over and you find that the only part you recorded was a few seconds that didn’t even matter.
I found a way to contact the app author, and he may be able to address my concern… if so, I will change my review to a full 5 stars.
