Comments on Background Video Recorder for Android

★★★★★ Dinesh Yadav · Mar 10, 2026

A great app for BVR, I'm just waiting for the update which add the option through which I can disguise the main screen of this app because as of now either it's shows previews or just black after turning off preview, im giving 5 star because no others' app can match usability of this app and that for free, almost every feature are available except that disguise-able main page., thanks team Hedge for creating this masterpiece, I'm ready to buy premium but not before that update

★★★★★ BasiL C. · Feb 2, 2026

This is the only BVR app that lets you choose wide angle lens for recording.

★★★★★ Anthony Garrett · Feb 2, 2026

This is an awesome app. Record front or back camera without anyone knowing and continue to use phone normally while recording. I think there might be a couple of ads but nothing major

★★☆☆☆ The Heavyassaulter · Apr 17, 2026

It stopped recording at 5 minutes while the settings were all allowing it to run for as long as I had memory which I had way more than 5 hours of recording to do...

★☆☆☆☆ malik mudassar · May 14, 2026

Many details are missing during video recording specialy in artificial light. Also, the latest updated app Missing the HDR option

★★☆☆☆ Matt H · Jan 13, 2026

Would be good but the zoom is incredibly annoying if you accidentally do it without realizing. Most of my footage stuffed. Needs a lock of some sort. Or just allow disabling it altogether. Otherwise, a decent app. Edit: Unable to disable pinch zoom due to an unfixed bug
