ScreenPal Screen Recorder 4+

Great interchange between iPad and MacBook Pro

I used Screen-Cast-Omatic on my windows machines for years and was glad to find out that the rebranded ScreenPal works well on both my older iPad and my new MacBook Pro. Great experience so far and the upload to cloud works well too. The change-over to the Mac has been frustrating at times because I’m learning different ways of doing things so it’s nice to have a familiar screen capture and recording tool—looking forward to exploring the new features. Great job!

This recorder causes rage and depression

I cannot stress enough how AWFUL Screencast-O-Matic is. It has literally sent me into rage and depression because of how much time and work I’ve wasted trying to use it for school. It freezes constantly— just now I was recording an 8 minute video and had to shut down and force restart 3 separate times. On the off chance that the recorder doesn’t freeze, there is constant lag— each time I press record the video freezes for 5 seconds and then finally begins )meaning I have to edit out the 5 second of silence after each take). The support team is absolutely useless; they just tell you to uninstall and reinstall (even though that achieves nothing). I literally want to rage quit this app 100% of the time I use it. Hope I never have to see it again after this school year ends.

A poor excuse for a video editor

I have been a faithful Screen casto magic subscriber and daily user for 7 years now. I recently purchased a IPad Air and was excited to get the new ScreenPal app. When using screencastomatic it was practically flawless. The app is quirky and freezes up continusly. I can not resize text without throwing off letter alignment and constant freezing. I have not found any way to do transitions ( fades on text or videos) workflow is non existent without aggravation. A very poor product for the folks at screencastomatic, ScreenPal is a poor choice of a name because “pals” don’ t aggregate the crap out of you. I will be cancelling my 7 year subscription with them unless they can fix these problems. I don’t recommend this app. Sorry guys, you trashed your product .

Developer Response ,

Dave – I am sorry to hear this. We take pride in the products that we develop and it doesn’t sound like the app is living up to expectations. First, please update your app to the latest version. We did make some improvements to the text overlay tool. If you still continue to have freezing, please get in touch with our support team by tapping “Need help? Email support” so we can understand your device better and resolve this issue. Transitions are not currently available on the mobile app, but it is a great suggestion and we have been discussing with the product team. We do appreciate your feedback. It does make the product better, and we will continue to work to improve the experience.
