Recurring themes

Recording Stability negative
Many users report that recordings frequently stop unexpectedly, fail to save, or are lost entirely, directly contradicting the developer's recent update notes about improved stability and recovery.R8R11R13R16
Pricing & Subscriptions negative
A significant number of recent reviews highlight unexpected, high, and often weekly subscription charges, with users feeling scammed or misled about the 'free' nature of the app or trial periods. Some basic features like voice recording or removing watermarks are paywalled.R12R41R58R61
Ads & User Experience negative
Users are frustrated by frequent and unskippable ads that appear after recordings or when navigating the app. The app is also criticized for being slow, having limited features, and sometimes causing other apps to malfunction.R5R21R22R45
Audio & Video Quality negative
Issues with audio recording are common, including no sound, delayed audio, or unclear sound. Video quality can also be poor, with reports of pixelation, glitching, or incorrect orientation.R14R38R49R54
Ease of Use & Features mixed
While many users initially find the app easy to use for basic screen recording, common complaints include the lack of a pause button during recording, difficulty saving videos to the camera roll, and limited editing features for free users.R1R4R5R18

Who it's for

This app might be for users who need a simple, free screen recorder for short, non-critical recordings and are willing to tolerate ads and potential bugs R1R4R20R23. It is not for users who need reliable recording, consistent audio quality, advanced editing features without payment, or those who want to avoid unexpected subscription charges R8R12R13R22.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily negative, with many recurring issues reported across multiple users and regions. The developer's notes for the latest update directly contradict a significant portion of the recent negative feedback regarding recording stability and recovery, suggesting the update either failed to address these issues or introduced new problems.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · GB Very helpful: Great and easy to use never regretted installing it
  2. [R4] 5/5 · GB Good but some things: I love V recorder it is really helpful with recording and easy to use. It makes good quality videos and isn’t very blurry. It’s better than the standard recording app! 1 thing I’d really like you to add, is being able to pause during recording because I find it hard to edit out all of the cuts and it would be easier to have a pause button at the side.(Hope this helps!) But ov

  13. [R11] 3/5 · GB I’m angry: I was making a video,30 mins in, it just stops,all the footage gone pls fix this 🙏
  14. [R13] 1/5 · GB Don’t get if you have anger issues: I recorded a video of me playing Roblox games for YouTube and it didn’t pop up in my camera roll so I tried to get the video in the app and edit it but it kept kicking me out of the app and my screen went frozen and I almost threw my phone because I spent almost an hour filming it
  15. [R16] 2/5 · GB Kinda good: It won’t like me see the videos l took a very long video and when l went to the app it wasn’t there pls fix this
  16. [R29] 3/5 · GB It's ok I guess: It never let's you pause the video but it's easy to understand to log on but everytime I'm filming it would kick me off and I would have to say sorry it's not working so I tried to find a better one but then it was hard to log on and I didint get how to recorded so it's not the best but you can try it out I'm not stopping you
  17.

  18. [R62] 2/5 · GB Good but…: The actual recording is good, but the editing keeps crashing, and I know it’s not just me, because it happened to my friend too, I wouldn’t recommend this as it takes a while to learn how to edit and keeps crashing, hoping they will be able to fix it.
  19. [R12] 1/5 · GB Scam read this beware: Insane £6.99 per week they must have switched it out. I paid monthly at first and then i look at my bill and they had charged me £6.99 per week for months.
  20. [R61] 1/5 · GB Piece of junk app-money trap-asking credit card info-be aware: Piece of junk app-useless-money trap-asking credit card info-be aware,
  21. [R78] 1/5 · GB Ridiculously Over Priced: Over priced, plenty of better and free alternatives; and sneaky way of charging
  22. [R83] 1/5 · GB Buyer Beware: Downloaded app and cancelled immediately when I realised it was not what I was after. Was still charged for a year’s subscription. It seems that the three day trial is not active.
  23. [R21] 1/5 · GB This app is a piece of garbage: So when making a video when I was editing the whole video went black only the words that i put were there it took me 15 minutes to record and it took me 1 hour to edit for absolute nothing adverts don’t stop popping up all the time i think there should be a little more features for the ones who don’t like spending money
  24. [R22] 1/5 · GB ADVERTS: All I have seen is and advert you finish the recording and it puts you on a random page then when you click to leave and go to the home screen an ad then I go onto my gallery and get another unskippable ad and I’m so sick of it they’re lucky I’m desperate
  25. [R45] 5/5 · GB Amazing please read and respond: It’s good and fun and honestly so easy, sure ads get annoying but the amount of things I can make is just wow!!! I can make easy videos and it works with YouTube so 8 give it 5 stars pls read and respond
  26. [R14] 4/5 · GB …: Audio has a slight delay, gd gameplay greatly diminished
  27. [R49] 1/5 · GB Wasted: 5 hours of recording wasted because of no sound
  28. [R60] 1/5 · GB It does not record voice while doing a video call: I am not sure if the app is defective but after switching it on, I started recording a WhatsApp video call. It just recorded the screen and video but the sound (conversation) is missing
  29. [R72] 1/5 · GB Garbage 🗑: Can I just say wooooow terrible app u have to pay for the volume to the same as the video like whaaaaaat terrible app I would not recommend this
  30. [R38] 1/5 · GB Screen: When i play my vid It’s Upside Down!!?
  31. [R54] 3/5 · GB Okay recorder, but this is a issue.: Hello V Recorder, I am a youtuber “EntriachtFabian” and i make football edits, i recently recorded a video, it went all squished, i tried redoing but it wouldnt save.
  32. [R56] 3/5 · GB The update: For some reason you've updated the app and now it won't do what it sued to do it would kick me off everytime and I can't record my videos and plus- if I manage to record it, it would end with a fatcor skinny video
  33. [R74] 1/5 · GB I don’t recommend: After I recorded, I decided to check what the quality of the video was like , it was absolutely terrible! I couldn’t even tell what I had just recorded, it was so glitchy! Even the timing of the sound was off!
  34. [R127] 3/5 · CA BRO what: So it’s a really good thing and all BUT I CANT PAUSE IT AND GOTO THE THING I NEED please add that to the game
  35. [R24] 4/5 · GB 4.5: I think it works really well but the fact that you have to upload it onto your device is a bit annoying. It would be better if it was already saved onto the device, but other why's it's an amazing app
  36. [R25] 2/5 · GB This is confusing: How do you save a screen recording to your camera roll? There’s no option at all for it. Normally there’s a button for share which says save to camera roll but it doesn’t? I’m very confused because what’s the point in this app for screen recording if you can’t even save it to your camera roll.
  37. [R51] 4/5 · GB It’s GOOD but..: It’s good but it won’t let me download my clips like I’m trying to make a video so please fix For this I’m giving it a four and em i don’t like how it just go in ur gallery what if u Annan see what 8t look. Like
  38. [R110] 2/5 · CA Export: It would be a 5 if I get one free export
  39. [R41] 2/5 · GB THIS IS THE WORST: Yes you can screen record when you have a voice but you have to pay!!!! This is the worst app ever made AHHHHH I WISH I NEVER GOT IT
  40. [R106] 4/5 · CA Good: But y u have to pay for basic functions??
  41. [R123] 1/5 · CA Takes money to remove watermark: E
  42. [R68] 1/5 · GB Causes GPU Bugs: After installing this app, I noticed that SnapChat videos were only coming up as pictures. Then I noticed that all apps were unable to play videos (including the standard photo viewer/video player for videos saved to my phone). Whenever I tried to play a video, the first frame would come up as a picture and it would be stuck like that. I tried restarting my phone as well as unins
  43. [R58] 3/5 · GB Good Video Type: Very good, but I don’t like when I have to pay
  44. [R5] 4/5 · GB Amazing but…: This app is amazing but… it’s not the best it doesn’t have many features and that’s what really annoys me. It also is just kinda slow. It’s not just that’s it’s also that it’s not the best app for stuff like this, the best app for this type of stuff is “screen recorder” or any other app. Now I am no saying that this app is bad, but I’m also not saying it’s good. It’s around the middl
  45. [R20] 5/5 · GB It's so good: It's free to record it make me sooo happyy tysm
  46. [R23] 5/5 · GB Really good: Really good app the only screen recorder that doesn’t cost money
  47. [R33] 2/5 · GB Free?: I haven’t installed it but is it free👁👅👁
