Comments on Background Video Recorder for Android

★★★★★ Noob Gamer · Jul 26, 2024

App is god, but we want transh bin I have deleted this app for some reason I and download it after then is seen video is deleted plz and transh bin and recover, so I can recover my that video

★★★★☆ Aatif · Mar 24, 2026

I liked the app. It has potential. BUT, in the latest update, that sharp, loud noise (when you turn on/off recording) ruins the whole thing especially when we are indoor! Please remove that sound!!!

★★★★★ Mv · Dec 10, 2025

I use this app to keep myself safe from exploits from other people and to guarantee proof of things people do wrong with me and others: Whenever I am in an environment that I can't feel safe, that I don't know, or that I suspect there will be people with bad intent, or toxic tatics at work, school or bad household, neighborhood, etc... I turn on this app, and let it rest on my pocket, or casually use my phone like nothing is happening. It is a safe-net whenever I need it.

Allows high resolution video recording, didn't come across any advertisements yet, no upper limit of footage span, has option to transfer footage to sd card. Ticks all boxes. Good job app developers. Keep it up.

★☆☆☆☆ Jeremy Rhodes · Feb 4, 2025

Seems awesome, but I only can get the first video when I start app... records all the others you can see the others. Won't ever let you watch em says corrupt file every time sometimes says corrupt on first. Looks good I think it's broken and no one is fixing it.

★☆☆☆☆ Chris · Jan 24, 2026

DO NOT USE! I successfully recorded a serious crime with this but my phone storage ran out. No worries I thought, I'll move the recording to SD Card. GOODNESS, what a joke that turned out to be. It seems you can change directory from this app, but CANNOT move your recording (yet it still plays from this app's "gallery" 🤔). NO other gallery app could access it, & to top things off, I couldn't even move the default folder BACK from the memory card to phone. Had to uninstall, losing essential data

★☆☆☆☆ callanyonefrompc · Jan 28, 2025

Not good enough. This could be a good app, but it is missing an important feature. The ability to make a home screen shortcut that will start recording as soon as you click it without ever opening the app's main screen. Even better if you could also stop recording from the home screen as well.

★☆☆☆☆ Wes Virtue · Nov 28, 2025

Doesn't work on a pixel 8. The gear icon and the drop-down menu you can't access it because it's at the very top of the screen where the time and the icons are. It seemed to work recording Waze, but I can't find the video. I have no idea what the storage is cuz I have no access to the settings.
