Comments on Background video recorder for Android

★★★★☆ Sam Emeralds Olofu · Aug 30, 2026

This was the best of all the similar apps I've come across. I've used it for years, and one thing that made it quite outstanding was the video edit feature, which has been removed by the latest update. This app will continue to be the best if you can bring back the video edit feature to the new version.

★★★★☆ Abhijith · Jun 26, 2026

Issue : Recording stops even when Volume Down presses are far apart. Recording stops even when the two Volume Down presses are separated by a long interval (e.g., 30+ seconds). The first press remains pending indefinitely, so any later second press is treated as a valid double-press.

★★★★★ Parsa overseas · Jul 18, 2026

There are no options available and the Android's market without this super app to record background video, I'm using this app for many years. God bless you developers. 🙏 ❤️ 🙌 ♥️ 😘

★☆☆☆☆ David Smith · Jul 20, 2026

This app worked very really well on older phones. It is barely compatible with newer ones. It records videos longer than it is set to, leading to corrupt videos that only play partially. I now find this app useless, old and out of date without any modern updates to make it relevant.

★★☆☆☆ Jojo zu · Oct 1, 2026

On pixel 11 pro, sometimes you can't stop recording even when you push the stop button. Sometimes also stop recording when the phone asleep.

★☆☆☆☆ Shraddha Parihariya · Jun 18, 2026

Facing issues so many bugs the camera is not working can't see camera options can't record anything screen is white totally

★★☆☆☆ akhil kaushik · Apr 21, 2026

Facing an issue where after recording, two files appear—one normal and another named “null.” The null file seems like a leftover temp file and creates confusion also consumes a lot of space. Also, video quality has dropped; earlier recordings were much more crisp and clear. Please fix the file saving bug and restore the previous video quality.
