An extremely simple yet unbelievably capable video recording and editing app!

Whether you have an iPhone 4S, or an iPhone 11 Pro, you will never miss a moment that is worth being captured on video. Just launch the app and recording is already in progress, no need to swipe or press additional buttons. Easily pause and resume the recording, or switch between front and back cameras while filming. When you are done, simply close the app and the video will be waiting for you in the Camera Roll.

MAIN FEATURES:
• Record instantly as soon as you launch the app.
• Automatically save the video upon exit, either to the Camera Roll (by default), or to the app documents folder (for additional privacy).
• Record in 4K at 60 frames per second. Or film a slow motion video in 1080p at 240 fps. It is all up to you. Simply choose the resolution and frame rate that you prefer.
