CovertCam 4+

Absolute rubbish!

Ok so I gave it a bad review, because I couldn’t get it to it function properly. The developer responded right away, which is excellent. I was given some pointers on the correct way to use it and now this is my review: Upon launching the app Live Photo is on, despite it being off in settings. However if you swipe into video mode you can take normal photos by single tapping or videos by double tapping. I am now giving it 4/5 because in video mode the big red blob that indicates it is recording means it’s no longer as covert as it could be. If it were my app I would greatly reduce the size of the blob and move it to the bottom right, so it’s next to the preview window. Kudos to the developer tho!

Developer Response ,

Hi,

Thanks for the review update! I’ll certainly take your feedback into account, really appreciate it.

I’ve noticed there are a few bugs which need to be fixed, one being the toggle for Live Photo!

Thanks again!

In or­der to take video you need to be in 'video mode' - Swipe right and you toggle between pho­to and video mode. An in­dic­a­tion that you are in 'video mode' will be that the view find­er will slightly en­large. Once in 'video mode' you can double tap to start the video.

This will allow you to take video or photo.

Red dot

What’s the point of the big red dot if is over a black background it’s even more noticeable lol.

Too bad that there is no way to hide the red dot or at least be super small to not be noticeable.

Anyway, getting a refund, I hope they update it with this option to turn off the red dot showing it’s working.

It is against iOS De­veloper Pro­gram Li­cense Agree­ment to not have in­dic­a­tions on the screen when tak­ing a pho­to and/or video.

This is clearly stated in the App description.

Well...

What can I say, this sneaky little app is great for doing the things you shouldn't do... The first time you load it up you might think its broke but watch out for the little dot in the top right and check your camera roll.. New version is more stable than before. :)
