Best app for screen recording

[Silly John Fatty]

I want to record gameplay and I can’t believe there’s so app that’s really suited for it. Most recording apps don’t record in 1080p (such as iOS’ inbuilt screen recording feature) and those that do, don’t record in 60 fps but only 30 fps. It makes a huge difference and I really want to record it in 60 fps. Also, the sound quality is often pretty bad.

The closest I’ve found to what I am looking for is TechSmith Capture, it records in 1080p but only 30 fps and crap audio. I’ve seen other solutions where you connect the iPad/iPhone to the Mac and record it on the Mac, but that’s not really an option because the cable would be in the way for me to play properly. I can’t hold the device properly with that cable, I know this experience from the lightning recharging cable.

Please anyone tell me I’ve missed an app that does exactly what I’m looking for! I can’t believe I haven’t found anything so far, it’s just ridiculous. What year are we, 2012? Thank you in advance for any advice.

Snagit 2019 will do a 4K capture, but 29 fps and 128 Kbps audio:

out the rich world of iOS screen recorder tools that are helpful to you that needs to capture the iPhone/iPad screen and don’t know what to use.



TechSmith Capture
iPad mini 2 or later
iPod touch (5th generation)
ScreenFlow iPhone 5, 6, 7 or later
AirShou Screen Recorder iOS 9 or later /iPad Full Version
DU Recorder iOS 11.0 or later Full Version
Record It! iPhone 5+ /iPad mini 2 Free Demo
iOS Built-in Screen Recorder All iPhone / iPad Full Version
BB Rec Screen Recorder All iPhone / iPad Free Trial
Vidyo Screen Recorder All iPhone, iPad, iPod Full Version

I know all of these but none of them do what I’m looking for.

I’ve seen this one as well, but like I said I am really looking for one that records in 60 fps. The game I want to record has a lot of action going on and thus it makes a huge difference.

So I tested recording with Quicktime Player. I basically connected my iPad to my Mac, launched QuickTime, selected the iPad as the audio and video source and started recording. The sound is high quality, the resolution is high quality too and it's more or less 60 fps. There are regular frame drops, however, and in the file information, it says the framerate is at 58. I guess that's an average, that includes these regular frame drops.

Do you people know what's responsible for that? Is it my Mac's graphics card? It's an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB, so not the best. Or is it possibly the lightning cable reaching some limits of some sort?

Also, when I select my iPad as the audio source in Quicktime, I can't hear the sound through the iPads speakers anymore.

I still can't believe there's no proper solution for this very basic thing, but I'll try to experiment with Quicktime now if I could just get to hear the sound on my iPad while playing somehow and fixing those regular frame drops. The ideal solution would, of course, be an app on the iPad.

Try Airshou and coolpixel would be helpful for you definitely, also you can try BBrecorder

BBrecorder

Yeah, for recording the screen of my phone I use either iphone screen record or as you have suggested BBrecorder. Both work well, but the BBrecorder has more recording options (I mean the sound, quality of the video, size and so on). I have recently also tried AZ Screen Recorder, found out about it here https://www.movavi.com/support/how-to/mp4-recorder.html, I liked it, especially because of the ability to draw on the screen while recording gameplay.
