This requires a root, which, to my understanding, voids the insurance plan you have on a cellphone. If this app finds a way to not make me need to root my phone I would re-rate this app. PS: This app honestly makes me feel like it wants to make you to root the phone and advertises rooting apps when you click on the link explaining what rooting is.
For everyone's information this thing needs you to root your phone all screen recorder needs rooted device except for if you are using Lollipop. The problem is its not good, it changes the color of the video but it runs smoothly in the video, this demo is so short only for about a minute.
Works well, though on hi res can record 16 fps max (skips frames otherwise) and slows system down significantly. I've got large memory card, that would be great if it will be possible to record uncompressed video instead.
Kindle Fire 1st gen running CM10 with 4.2 Gapps. All I get is a black screen with my pointer option on the overlay. I went to the developer's page first, and contacted him that way, but he never got back. 3 days ago, I emailed him using what was provided here and I still haven't gotten a response! Poor quality, which is unfortunate, because I thought this sounded amazing. I would have loved for this to work.
Works fine on a rooted Note II. Not sure why the other user said it does not. I would suggest ensuring the video resolution is set to high rather than normal. Not sure about the WiFi vs data issue that's been mentioned, as I'm not near WiFi at the moment, but it works fine on data. Also stop complaining about the root requirement. Root provides extra permissions to the device that the developer would not have required if they were not necessary.
Quality is terrible, 30sec for free users? Not much use. You'd not only get more people doing 2-3 mins but having this limitation to have people pay $5 for the full version is s bit much for a simple screen recorder is a bit much. Plus you loose a lot of people which is sad. Maybe $1 will increase users for the full.
Hey it's a demo. It did its job which is letting me try the app fully to make sure it 1.) works on my device, 2.) performs well on my device, 3.) fills my needs, 4.) is worth the price. In this case the answer was yes on all 4 counts so I forked over the 4 bucks. A bargain for what it does and the time it will save me.
I don't know how to root my device so I can't record anything. Shame that I really wanted to record my tutorials... I still will give a two stars because the only problem is the root. Except for that, it's perfect. Please get a reply soon. Thank you.
I really want to buy the full version but on this demo version the screen goes negative on the video. Also I can't stand 20 seconds of video only to be able to decide if we want the full version or not. Maybe make it a little longer like 40 seconds instead of 20? Thnx on my ellipsis 7 tablet. Also, it doesn't record everything. For example I'll switch through my multiple screens on the home screen and only the first screen pops up. Then I'll open an app and only one image will pop up. :/ I've decided to try a different app
I installed the demo on my shiny new RK3288 box,having tried all others that either locked the machine, had awful quality or had lousy frame rates. This worked just about perfectly. It has one very important feature missing though and that is the ability to record the sound from the device itself and not just from a microphone. This one feature addition would make the app perfect. Please add it soon.
Huawei valient slight lag but overall did what I expected and all of the people complaining bout stuff going wrong is cuz of two most likely reasons the majority of complaints are coming from people with phones that are clearly stated not to be compatible with or they did something wrong while rooting there phone or installing certain software ( my 29$ huawei valient runs it fine)
Pls. Extend the limit this is the only screen recorder that works for me.., i bought the full version but it keeps saying i need better connection :( please extend the limit to atleast 1 hour i will rate 5 stars
The app is very good function wise but the recorded video on my Micromax A116 has weird faded type colors. I wanted to buy the app but just due to this problem could not. Update: I found that actually the colors are inverted. Please add a option "fix inverted colors" like that present in SCR Screen Recorder. I read on various forums that this happens with custom ROMs, but this is also happening with me in stock 4.2 ROM.
WILL NOT WORK on WIFI. Th:s app wants a final license check everytime u use it...and wont approve on wifi. Bought the paid version, works maybe 10% of the time. If u have a GNEX ur just F'ed Itll never work. Dev won't return emails,issue refunds do anything for that matter. Hold tight peoples I got a dev making an app that'll bury this pos...and btw u can DL a cracked version of this paid app free and not get 5000 licence checks
To everybody who is complaining about how this app requires root access, you're an idiot. The developer didn't require root access to discriminate against you, he did it because it was necessary for the app to work. Right now it is not working on android 4.2.2. If he can fix this it would be a great app.
A so called unnecessary and unacceptable security patch done by jcase to enable criminal vandalism and harrassment, invasion of privacy, and espionage. I don't recommend this app.
...to all those who are stupid, and don't know what root is... don't install if you have no knowledge of you're phone. I'm 12, rooted my phone, running a custom rom AND kernel. AND IM, 12. ARE U KIDDING ME. Dev, I feel bad for all the pointless emails u have to read. I Ignore those who are ignorant. Root is safe also, as long as you don't screw up the process. H8 noobs tht transver to android from apple. Mainstream
Save your money! The dev. doesn't even respond on his own website anymore. Some people bought this app after the dev. said that "the team" was working on Tegra support. That was months ago. Now no questions are being answered at all anymore. So, if you do buy this app, don't expect support if something doesn't work! You have been warned!!
Wow. The quality surprised me. Sure there was little lag but not as bad as other recorders. Running TouchWiz ROM
A wonderful app to use to record your screen but the only flaw that is really irritating me is the timing. 20 seconds for one shot. If people are trying to do YouTube videos then how are they going to record it. Other than that, it works perfectly fine. For this app you need to get your phone rooted on a laptop or computer, use the kingo app
