It seems to continue recording but then only saves one hour of it...is that an android thing?? I disabled battery operation, lowered resolution, and kept phone plugged in. I'll change the stars if I get a fix on this. App still came in *really* handy even tho only for an hour! Edit: thanks for responding! I want to record all night as a security camera. It only saves 3 or 4 hour-long files but no more than that. I have plenty of storage on my phone. Updating from 2 stars to 3

Please contact support by email to provide more details about the issue. Does your phone have any settings that allow background activity for the app? For example, OPPO/realme devices have many background limitations. Possibly it is similar with Motorola. Also, please test with the latest version. We will try to test more Motorola devices as well.

The app seems to work very well. I use it as a security device to record and hopefully defuse a potentially dangerous situation. Just politely notifying someone that we are currently being recorded, reinforced by a repeating beep, can be enough to make someone rethink their behaviour.

Sometimes it works well and sometimes not. Had to install the app on a new device and it wants me to delete the Cache and data on playstore to show i had paid for the app. Not even a guess how to do this and sure of i want to delete playstores data.

What’s new

Fixes the following issues with time-lapse mode:
- Switching time-lapse mode from the main screen could cause normal recording to be incorrectly limited to 1 frame per second.
- When set to less than 1 second per frame, the app was still limited to recording no more than 1 frame per second.
