Comments on Background video recorder for Android

★★★★☆ 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.
★★★★★ Farrah Biba Kinanti Ayuningtias · Feb 28, 2026
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.

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.
★☆☆☆☆ JM · Nov 9, 2025
If you record a video longer than 20 seconds, chances are it will freeze the recording at one point. It can't be trusted. I've tried checking permissions, I've checked my phones available memory, battery restrictions, everything and anything, nothing changes. What a shame... EDIT from 2025: the update sucks!!! Now video recording takes ages to start after pressing the button. Updates are supposed to make things better, not worse. The issues I've described earlier are also worse......

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.
