What is Threema. The Secure Messenger?
The DU Recorder app is a mobile screen recorder with a built-in video editor.
Rated for users of all ages, the DU Recorder app is free to download and use, but does feature in-app advertisements. This app is available in both the App Store and the Google Play Store.
For users just getting started with vlogging, the DU Recorder app is a great, free entry point into screen recording without having to invest in expensive apps.
With a 4.8 user rating, the DU Recorder app is a favorite because it’s offered for free and features an unlimited recording time. It’s important to note that the DU Recorder app is available for free because it’s ad-supported, so users will encounter advertisements throughout the app.
In addition to recording a user’s screen, the DU Recorder app also allows users to edit video, merge videos, stitch images, blur images, and crop images without having to leave the app and use multiple video editing programs.
The Settings menu in DU Recorder is pretty extensive and allows for significant user customization.
Under the Settings menu users can adjust video resolution and video quality, set frames per second (FPS), hide the record window during recording, set the app to stop recording when the user’s phone is shaken, record audio, show touch points and brush (draw) on screen (especially helpful for tutorial videos), add a watermark, set a countdown for recording, set the video storage location on device, invert video color and set the preferred language.
While the Settings menu can be overwhelming with options, the DU Recorder is actually quite simple to use.
When users tap the DU Recorder icon on their device’s screen, the recording menu appears to the right of the screen with quick navigate buttons for Pause, Stop, Tools and run time.
For those users who opt to remove the menu pop-up during recordings, a video camera icon appears in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, indicating that the DU Recorder app is actively recording their screen
