Camera Recorder Lite 4+

Until recently, it was promising— useful within its limitations, and the author seemed to be improving it.
I used the app often to record short instructional video clips for my music students. iMovie seemed like overkill for the task, and Camera Recorder did the job very simply and tolerably well (at lower resolutions, at least..)

The latest version, though, is plagued by terribly bad audio-video sync, sometimes a second or more off… ( Yosemite, 3 GHz core i3 iMac )

Back to iMovie..

I've just downloaded this free app. I tried to record a few seconds. The camera doesn’t show up, the screen is black. It’s telling me i need to record less than 600 seconds in the lite version and I didn’t try to record more than 5 seconds. I’m also getting a pop up thats telling me to pay for the full version….umm, NO! I planned to, if this would have worked. But, since it doesn’t I am not going to even try to full version.

The app stays open in the dock. I cannot quit the app, move to trash or uninstall the app. I cannot do Safari software updates because the software updates will not run as long as the app is open. App support is in Chinese. If I could give it a 0 star rating, I would.
