What is Record it! :: Screen Recorder?
Record it!: Screen Capture is a video screen recorder, editor, and organizer app.
Record it! is only available for iOS devices and is compatible with iOS 11+. Free to download and rated for users of all ages, the Record it! app features advertisements and offers in-app purchases to enhance the user’s experience.
Setup is simple for those users running the Record it! app on iOS 12, but users with iOS 11 will have a few additional steps to complete before beginning to capture their screen.
The first step is to set up the screen recorder on a user’s device, which is done going into their Settings menu. Once in the Settings menu, users will tap Control Center to bring up the menu and then select Customize Controls.
Users then scroll down the menu selections until they see Screen Recording. Users should then tap the + to the left of the Screen Recording option to add it to their Control Center popup menu. After adding Screen Recording to the Control Center, users are ready to exit out of their settings to proceed in the Record it! app.
Before users begin using the Record it! app to capture screen recordings, it’s important to note that the app really is a pay to play one. Those users who just want to fool around, make recordings, and review them within the Record it! app will have no problem using the free version.
However, to be able to share videos outside of the Record it! platform, users will need to cough up $3.99. By paying $3.99, users can share their videos outside of the Record it! app, can make unlimited recordings, have access to even more significant effects to create high-quality videos, add the “reaction cam,” and enjoy an ad-free interface.
In reality, Record it!: Screen Capture is an app that costs $3.99 because users won’t be able to do much without paying.
Is Record it! :: Screen Recorder safe for my kids?
Record it!: Screen Capture is an app designed to record a user’s iPhone screen and features the ability to capture the user’s reactions via selfie cam.
Record it! is especially useful for budding YouTubers and gamers who wish to create videos from app play, directly from their device screen. This app can be safe for teens with parental supervision.
However, Record it! is also great for recording iPhone conversations with loved ones to save for later. Where Record it! may become problematic is if it is used to record a FaceTime chat with someone without their knowledge, and then sharing the conversation and its contents with others.
For users just getting started with vlogging, the Record it! app is a great, low-cost entry point into screen recording, without having to invest in expensive apps.
While Record it!: Screen Capture is a great starter app for beginners, it’s not necessarily the app many parents will want their child to use. The ability to record screen interactions to a video file can be something that is used maliciously by teens and can be used to cyberbully peers.
Parents should review the implications of screen recording before allowing their child download and use the Record it! app.
