Non functioningDoesn’t work on my iPhone X can I have a refund please.Version: 3.1.1

No good full of errors!!!!!!Not happy!!! Errors galore, write errors blah blah plus other lingo, waste of money...... Grrr.Version: 1.3

This app is crapThis app is crap. Horrible background with visible preview window, no way to access any videos or pics you’ve taken. Thankfully only wasted one dollar..Version: 3.1.1

Does not workWill not work and camera does not work with it on iPhone?.Version: 3.1.1

Misleading - no black screenMisleading app. Expected the ability to record with a black screen. Even if this were possible, there is nothing “covert” about it, AS THERE IS A RED LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN WHEN RECORDING! Terrible waste of a dollar. Booooooo..Version: 3.1.1

KLCan’t get it to work. Keeps saying my device doesn’t give it access to app. It used to work on this same device..Version: 3.1.1

No longer worksApp previously worked, re-downloaded it, and it gives me a “user denied access”. unable to resolve this resetting phone, reinstalling app. would have contacted app support, bit there is none, its a blog..Version: 3.1.1

Used to workSays Tap To Restart Unable to resume. Deleted. Reinstalled. Still won’t work..Version: 4.0.2

Crashes and the default screen isn't blackYou can't covertly record because of the cheesy fake home screen.Version: 3.1.1

Live video instead of video?When I try to take a video by double tapping while in video mode, it instead takes a live video. Am I doing something wrong or is the software just outdated?.Version: 4.0.2

Doesn’t work with iPhone XSDoesn’t work with the new iPhone XS. There has been no updates to the app for a long time. It seems like a dead app. Such a shame since it was good app when it worked..Version: 3.1.1

Not working ??I can’t get the app to work????? It worked last week, But it doesn’t now?.Version: 4.0.1

Red dotNeed a way to get rid of the red dot/mini video in the corner but okay app.Version: 4.0.2

Not working properlyI can’t open the settings and can’t take videos..Version: 4.0.1

Used to be great but got worseThis app used to be cool as you could set the background to a screenshot of your desktop/wallpaper but alas this seems to have been removed so now as someone else pointed out, a red indicator on a black background is so obvious that ‘covert’ isn’t really correct anymore, real shame.Version: 4.0.2

Doesn’t workI jus paid for this and its not even letting me grant access to my camera or audio in my settings the ap doesnt even pop up in my settings so i cant use the app at all im only rating it 1 star because i have to i would love my 99 cents back.Version: 3.1.1

FailThe application would be perfect if it had the red dot when recording in the top right, it betrays when shooting.Version: 3.1.1

Does not workCan not seem to allow app permission to access to cam or microphone. It just isn’t there in the privacy settings . Asking for my money back. Don’t waste your time..Version: 3.1.1

Does not work on iPhoneXI was unable to make this app work on iPhoneX. It couldn’t record or take photos and provided an error instead..Version: 3.1.1

Don’t waste your moneyTerrible app.Version: 4.0.1

ConfusingApp works as advertised, only I noticed one ‘small’ problem. After I take a picture or video, it does not save it to my device and I have no way to go back and look at what I recorded. Is this a bug or is there some kind of issue on my part? If I could get some help with this problem, that would be delightful..Version: 4.0.2

Crashes immediatelyWould love to say it's great, but I can't use it at all! Bad job..Version: 2.0

No access to camera or photosComplete waste of money. It simply doesn’t work with modern iOS for iPhone 8 and above..Version: 3.1.1

Does not work!This app no longer works. The developer has not released any kind of updates in 5 years and that says it all..Version: 3.1.1

Not a real black screenIt has a bright red dot on the screen when recording video..Version: 4.0.2

Does Not Record VideoI have been scammed.Version: 4.0.2

Video doesn’t workOnly lets me take photos. Video doesn’t work. Non of the other instructions work. Hasn’t worked properly since iPhone 11.Version: 4.0.2

Not a black screenInstead of a black screen I’ve got a screen shot of a random menu total rip off.Version: 3.1.1

Doesn’t work anymoreInstalls, loads but “access denied to media” so wont take any photos or videos. This app no longer shows up in settings, photos settings and has no way to “allow” access. Disappointing that is hasn’t been updated for 3 years. Worked great on iOS10, I installed iOS 12, no longer working..Version: 3.1.1

Gets the job doneSave your money. Can't switch "fake" screen to all black or any other image. When taking photo and videos, displays green square or red dot, which defeats its covert purpose. If they add those functionalities, app is an easy 4/5 stars..Version: 3.1.1

Couldn’t get it to workFollowed the instructions and it just didn’t do what it was supposed to do. Camera wouldn’t change, had to restart phone too to get it to stop then no option but to delete it..Version: 3.1.1

Only one issueWorks great so far but that red recording light..... should disappear. If you folks don’t want to light when recording, go to general > acessablity > zoom. So when u record it zooms on black screen. No light God bless.Version: 3.1.1

Does not work!This app does not work! Acts like it’s taking video but then when you try to stop it and review the video, a message stating user access denied pops up and no video was recorded. Tried to contact the creator for assistance and received no response. Don’t bother wasting your time with it!!.Version: 3.1.1

VideoSwipe to the right and don’t let me use video I do same what instructions but the video not turn on.Version: 4.0.2

TrashYou can never record it would take pictures but not record and in the update. The red dot is to big people know they being recorded.Version: 4.0.2

Video doesn’t seem to work anymoreIOS 15, iPhone 13 Pro.Version: 4.0.2

Would be 5 if not for red recording lightNot sure, as mentioned, why this hasn’t been fixed yet. When recording video the red light stays on which negates the purpose of a “covert cam”. Would love it if it comes on for 3 or so seconds and then goes off or simply have a setting to toggle that on and off. 5 start app of that is fixed, other wise it literally isn’t a covert camera..Version: 4.0.2

Its been years can you consider?Its been years and users are asking for the same thing can you atleast consider removing the red dot in video mode? We would all appreciate it and then you’d have the perfect app for covert recording, if not can you atleast give me a reason? App is a 3.5 just because of the red dot man, other wise it’s absolutely perfect.Version: 4.0.2

No User AccessI cannot keep photos I take. It doesn’t allow me access to the settings. Stupid app and a rip off!.Version: 3.1.1

Vary bad!!!It doesn’t work gets installed but does nothing, doesn’t even show on settings to allow to modify something and make it work. Don’t bother paying.Version: 3.1.1

Not really hiddenBig red blob in the corner sooo it’s not covert at all.Version: 4.0.2

No VideoYou can take photos with the app from a black screen with a tiny viewer in the B R of screen. That’s when it hasn't crashed ten times before staying open. Even then it will eventually crash. Also, after much tapping here there and everywhere, if there’s a record vid button, swipe, secret mumble you have to do, I ain’t found it -NO VID. Yup, save your pennies!.Version: 4.0.2

It’s crap!I paid for the app but after installing it doesn’t work I want my money back..Version: 3.1.1

Not completely blackDoes't cover completely your screen! Theres a green light on top and you can see the picture you took on the bottom!.Version: 4.0.2

This app is difficult to useI was able to switch to video mode and also to settings, but return from setting to the black screen make it disappear the preview window from the bottom and I can’t make it reappear again until I close and reopen the app. I wish you could fix that I use this app to record videos in a really private way But having the red or green icon so big and on the top right side of the screen make it so obvious to everyone that it stops being private and can no longer use for mysterious recording as those big icons red dot , green square make everybody realices that I’m recording and can’t be hidden , private or a secret anymore I wish you could fish that I don’t think it’s necessary to have such huge icons it could be something really small and neat. I wish you could fix it.Version: 4.0.2

MartinDon’t buy doesn’t even work.Version: 3.1.1

Would have been great.It would have been good to use but when recording a video it has a red icon in the corner, which makes it to obvious that it is recording. If it could just have the sound to notify it is recording then that would make it much better..Version: 3.1.1

RefundI don’t like this app it won’t let me record or add anything to my media I absolutely dislike it. And I need immediate refund. It doesn’t even let me give it permission to use my camera or use the microphone thru the settings because my phone tells me it’s not in my phone 😳🙄.Version: 3.1.1

BadDoes not let you record while on another app.Version: 3.1.1

Idiotic red dotThe recording blinking red dot is a dead giveaway. Get rid of it and you have the perfect app. Now it's unfortunately totally worthless..Version: 3.1.1

Don’t buy doesn’t workDoesn’t actually save any pictures as it says it is denied access but you can’t enable access! Should’ve read reviews before wasting my money.Version: 3.1.1

Not covert at allAside from having a black screen. When I’m video mode, it shows a big red dot on the phone screen and a video preview. The video preview is discreetly hidden but that big red dot on the top right corner is a big Nono. Not really worth the 99 cents.Version: 4.0.2

As others have saidThis no longer works. It used to but doesn’t now. I switched to iPhone XR and maybe that is the problem or maybe it is iOS 12. Not sure, but it doesn’t matter because it doesn’t work. The app used to be great but as another has mentioned you can’t change parameters to make it write the photo to the phone so it is totally worthless..Version: 3.1.1

Stay away, there’s a bright green dot on the black screenNot sure how this wasn’t fixed, but there’s a bright green dot in the upper right corner of the screen, letting anyone know that the phone is not of fact asleep. Save your $.99. Useless.Version: 4.0.2

TrashEveryone of these spy apps Deletes any video recording that's more than 5 min long. Worthless!.Version: 3.1.1

Seems to work....but where are the pics and vids stored?!!! Can not find them anywhere....App seems to work just as the instructions say, but the stuff I record is so well hidden in the app or the phone that I can’t find it!!! Can anyone help?.Version: 3.1.1

DotBro I got caught because the red dot was showing when I was taking notes in class, can you please have an option to remove it and I can just memerise the pattern to record.Version: 4.0.2

Doesn’t workDid not work not once on my phone. Don’t waste your $1.Version: 3.1.1

Video troubleHi, I’m having trouble with the video. Double tap isn’t working. Thanks.Version: 4.0.1
