Too many ads for a simple app like this. it is quite strange that this app has too many advertisements despite it being a very ordinary app .
★★★★★ ToeJam 5/3/2026
I installed, opened wasn't able to use it for 30 seconds before an ad pops up and takes over my screen. it appeared to work during the 30 seconds I was able to try it, but geez. I uninstaller it.
★★★★★ Aaron Tippetts (ShadowFox85) 5/2/2026 v2.35
Calibrated way to high, and doesn't let you save your recording level like others.
