A great example of lightweight and user-friendly UI app. Everything you need is here and work flawlessly and even the paid one is very affordable at the time of posting. Just Two Missing Features: 1. Misses out on flash toggle switch (for front and back flash). In my case, front flash is available. 2. "No file size limit" feature is also needed like unlimited duration recording feature. Very nice app. Nice👍
