Due to the limited power of some devices, applying image effects - on taken pictures - may take more than a few seconds depending on the selected resolution. This does not affect to the video recording.
The recorded videos are encoded with the H.264 codec. Some devices can not play these files. For this, I recommend the free "MX Player" or for playback on the PC the free "VLC Player". The internet connection is required only for the first start for the license check. After that, the app can be easily used without an internet connection.
If you like the app, please take the time and rate it. Thank you for your support!
I originally love this app. It does a good job of taking horizontal pics, BUT when taking videos there appears a strange flash of noisegreenish light. Overall the app is good but not at all for videos.
Lots of frame drop while video recording. Note II GT-N7100
I've been searching for an app like horicam for years! Thanks. It works great on my note3. I have one request though. Can you please allow background recording? I have 2 purposes for this. When I go to an event or festival, I'd like to be able to record from my shirt pocket. I noticed that when I turn off the screen, it stops and doesn't save what was recorded. And the other is, as a dashcam. I prefer to mount my phone vertically for maps. I've been using svr pro, but it doesn't do vertical the same way.
Photos doesn't show on albums. My sugestion is to add a option to select preferred folder to be saved. You're close to perfection. Congrats!!!
It works
Congratulations your app record in a different way than the stock camera i mean different area is covered which looks good Also please correct this Preview option is not working Can you add different aspect ratio to record a video into.
