Free AppAbout Snagscope
Want to save Periscope broadcasts locally to your device? If so, then this app is for you. Snagscope lets you find, view, and record Periscope broadcasts from around the world. With Snagscope you can browse the most popular Periscope broadcasts and save them for offline viewing. Just copy the broadcast URL from Periscope and paste it into Snagscope. When the broadcast is done, save it as an MP4 file that can be viewed with any media player.
FEATURES:
• Download *live* Periscope videos (as well as replays).
• Capture multiple Periscope broadcasts at the same time.
• Stop and resume your recordings at any time.
• Thumbnail previews of Periscope downloads.
• Browse the most popular Periscope videos.
• Save files in MP4 or MPEG-TS format.
Unlike other Periscope downloaders, Snagscope lets you capture live broadcasts, as well as replays. Any URL that you can copy from Periscope, you can capture with Snagscope (private broadcasts do not offer a Copy URL option). It provides thumbnail previews for ongoing captures so that you can monitor progress, and you have the ability to stop and resume recordings at any time. If a Periscope broadcast is not interesting you can stop it, and then resume recording if it gets interesting again. Only the captured segments will be merged into the output file.
Snagscope also supports simultaneous capturing. You can capture multiple Periscope broadcasts at the same time. No need to wait for your capture to complete before starting a new capture. You'll never miss a broadcast because you were busy watching another. Snagscope also features trending Periscope videos, so you can find and watch the most viewed Periscope broadcasts from around the world, while they're happening. Don't miss another interesting moment on Periscope. Get Snagscope now!
HOW DO I USE IT?
1) Open Periscope and view a broadcast (or use the trending tab to view a Periscope broadcast).
2) From the slide up menu, click on "SHARE BROADCAST" and then select "Copy URL".
3) Return to Snagscope app and click on the "Paste URL" button, followed by "Snag It" button.
That's it! If the broadcast is still available, the capture will start in the "My Snags" tab. From there, you can click on the recording and save, stop, or resume it. Note that the output file will not be created until you select "Save Capture", so you can stop/resume the recording as much as you like, and then click "Save Capture" to produce the final output file when you're ready. You can also launch directly into Periscope to view the broadcast if you want to continue watching it. Or, if you decide you don't want to keep the recording, you can delete the capture.
To change the directory of where your output files are saved (default location is "Downloads" directory), just select Settings from the options menu and select the folder of your choice. From the settings menu, you can also change the output file format from MP4 to MPEG-TS if the MP4 encoder is slow or not available on your device.

Reply: Thanks for update IQtecture, you all are quick to reply/fix the issue! 5 stars for consumer services! I love the app, however Periscope changed their links from periscope.tv to pscp.tv so now the auto-capture feature doesn't work and you have to manually change the link name for DL. Hope this becomes a quick fix!

It sucks. Dont need this app if its going to show replays that arent even available because periscope does that and filters out ones that arent available. Waste of time. Fix or trash the app.

So far, this app has been amazing. If you enjoy Periscope and have a particular person you follow and you don't have time to take notes during a broadcast, this is for you. This has blew my mind since I can replay it well after the broadcast has expired. I am always on Periscope so my only suggestion will be to have this app available without ads even if it is a paying app. It will be worth it!

This app used to work but it seems everytime there is an update to either my cell software or the app updates, the app becomes more and more useless. Now it saves all clips for say an hour long broadcast but when u ask to save it, it only compiles half the files into a video and the delete feature will delete all compiled and uncompiled chunks.

Dude, if you could add some sort of overlay widget or something with buttons to play, pause, stop, save the most recent URL so we don't have to leave Peri, this app would be perfect. Similar to how screen recording apps have the buttons on the screen. 5 stars still. Because files are small and in MP4 rather than some shady TS format (Scopedown app).

Issues with saving different captures from the same streamer. It says "file with same name already exists, overwrite?" Streams are really different. Maybe it should add a number in this case.

I love this app. I stopped using scopedown because of this app. You have it all. Recording live streaming, multiple recording of streams, and your gui is simple and easy. I rate it 5 stars because you listen to the people suggestions and made the app better. Thank you for responding to me with actions and not just words.Thanks for such an awesome app.

To begin with, the Snagscope/Periscope combo was a massive resource hogger. Even after closing the apps, the phone ran very hot showing that they were still running in the background. That seems to have been fixed in the latest version (17th Dec), but the app now freezes when scrolling through the trending list... Please fix

Works great in saving live Periscope broadcasts. I have it set to monitor clipboard so when I watch in Periscope and share to copy URL it starts the Snag. Periscope changed the URL format so it stopped working but their tech support quickly released an update to address this. When an issue was found in the Trending tab that the URL change broke the listing of broadcasts, another update was issued. Their tech support was great to work with, very responsive in resolving the problems Periscope's change caused in the app.

Recent problem solved by new update thanks for keeping me updated back to 5 stars
