Thanks! Ya, I love it for concerts especially. If I use the default camera app I end up spending half the time swiping over to the video section and then finding the red button to start recording, by that time I missed the part of the song I wanted to record ;p

I can take a video on mine without even looking at my phone.

It has zero dependencies, not even tracking any analytics haha
