Robert Felton (ID: 0000007ef25bb282) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 07/23/2021 IT is my favorite tool to use....when it works. Randomly it doesn't work and it ends up wasting so much time.

Syed Asad (ID: 000000a6f9435deb) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/31/2021 I recorded a video, took me an hour to record and when when it started uploading, went to 100%, the app crashed and my file was deleted. Without me ever pressing the delete button. Cherry on top of the cake is the fact that the file is unrecoverable, great! Excellent product smh. Absolutely loved you guys, but when I really needed the product, it dropped a deuce on my lap.

Craig Martin (ID: 0000008d18a49fa7) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 10/21/2020 I wish I could go lower than one star. This app works for like 30 seconds then crashes in the middle of my recording. Would not recommend.
