DO NOT INSTALL
No updates in months and no polishing done whatsoever. Absolute trash. Do not install

Super convenient, user friendly app
There are no complex settings or menus, but it does the job perfectly. I love that I can record video with or without audio if needed while writing or drawing, and I can share or save my videos to my photos app directly from the app.
