Comments on Proximity Camera for Android

★★★★☆ Juno Mars · Apr 3, 2021
It works, but I need front camera also.
★★★★★ Joseph Feliciano · Jan 3, 2016
Thank you, fits my current need on Android. Since Beme is obviously not available on Android I decided to see if there was any alternative available. This app fits my need perfectly. A direct and simple tool with no social aspect. I'd like to thank the developer for giving us an option on our platform.
★★★★☆ Shilajit DC · Jan 21, 2021
Simple, lightweight and completely ad free. I loved the simplicity of the app and quite surely reminded me of the Beme app by Casey Neistat. Rather than experiencing the world through a camera view finder, this app simple let you experience the world as it should be and at the same time record the situation for future reference. Suggestions: Completely turn off-screen while recording. Keeps on stopping recording due to minor handshake. Need manual stop recording. Nevertheless, good job!
★☆☆☆☆ Twan Jaarsveld · Sep 13, 2015
They ripped off the Beme app It's a 1 on 1 copy from the Beme app just wait till the Beme app will be for Android
★★☆☆☆ Daniel Postoronka · Aug 20, 2016
No options The proximity sensor is too sensitive; it starts to record when the device is 1 inch close to my chest.... why? While this app is the most functional app in the store compared to the rest, it lacks features. If the other apps were NOT so crappy to the point it's not usable, this app would be an instant 1 star.

Description by James OBrien Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
Inspired by Beme, this application allows you to record short videos by holding the phone to your chest.

The app uses your phone's proximity sensor to detect when the front of the phone is covered, and starts recording. Recording stops when you stop covering the phone's screen.

Videos are saved to your memory card and can be managed from within the app.
