Pros and cons of Precorder: Video Camera for Unforgettable Moments app for iPhone and iPad

Precorder: Video Camera for Unforgettable Moments app good for

Especially if have cats that never do stuff on queue! I wouldnt have thought it, but this is a keeper!
This thing works great so far. Admittedly I havent used it a whole bunch yet but to be able to record up to TEN seconds in the past, well thats golden! One thing that would be great is if it had an "audio only" mode for when you hear something really funny and want to record it.
Prerecords footage so you can start recording what youre waiting for when it happens. Without missing anything
One of the killer features of some camcorders on the market is exactly the ability to "pre-record". This app removes one more difference between the iPhone cam vs dedicated camcorders. For those who record sports and kids, this is a must buy! It totally helps keeping the video clip small and filled with only highlights. So far I had no problems with this. Works well! Look forward to more updates to make it even better!
Any camera with pre-record you still have to switch it on and have the right settings AND AIM before it works! This is an add on so it takes an extra step ! Great app
I always fumbled around hitting native camera app, swiping video then record. This is a one stop GO! The pre record is a cool bonus. Good job.

Some bad moments

useless because it doesnt reliably save your vids! This started to occur after the last "update". Missed some good video because of it. 3 strikes, and promptly deleted after the third offense. WASTE OF MONEY
Waste my money on this. Who know the same precorder option, but record also on slow motion?
Brilliant idea for a long time problem. Forget missing spontaneous moments or recording for hours only to capture a few epic sections of video. Makes recording the best clips a breeze. Worth the buy!
Terrific idea; deceiving hype. Records extremely low quality video. Fix that and itll be worth 5 stars despite the very high price.
What a great idea – and just in time! Been playing around with the app this morning and can’t wait to take it home to record my baby Kevin’s first steps … it’s taking him a while to get the hang of it … now it won’t be at the expense of extra footage and edit time. Thanks!
I can finally get great footage of my cat doing tricks without having to edit through tons of footage. Made a video worthy of sending Mother on a first take!
