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.

In 2022, I think I used this app. I would definitely recommend it, it was great for me. The video quality was clear, and the sound was uninterrupted. And no one knew I was recording, even though my phone screen was off. So it was safe for me personally, but unfortunately... The memory capacity on my phone at the time wasn't sufficient, so I uninstalled it.

The app is good but only if you want to record the video for few minutes after it stops recording on his own, and also the loop feature the maximum timer doesn't work. No matter what you do in settings the recording will stop after few minutes.

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.

"I😓 am I reporting this app because it has started recording videos automatically in the background without my consent or interaction. While it is advertised as a manual background recorder, its unpredictable behavior of starting records on its own is a severe privacy violation and mimics spyware behavior. This could lead to the recording of sensitive information without the user's knowledge. Please investigate this app for potential malware or security breaches."😡🤬✊

Apk has some bugs, it creates null files with videos files that consumes space also, on strating the recording it takes 5-8 seconds to start and when we select video recorder duration for 30 min and after that re recording automatically starts after 15 sec this is really annoying. Earlier it was starting with in a second. Please look into it.
