New 'Vidyo' iOS App Allows Users to Record Their iPhone Screens [Update: Pulled]

[Richdmoore]

Didn't get it on my iPad yet.. have it on the iPhone though. Time to back up to my Air.

Will that work due to app thinning? I thought you could no longer transfer from an iOS device to the iTunes Library. (You can download the full app directly from the App Store, if it is still available. You can also set iTunes to automatically download new app purchases, so it may already be in your library.)

Not sure honestly. Time to try it I guess. Sure hope I can, because my main use for this is on my iPad Air 2

It's still in the app store purchases section so you can download it through iTunes and reinstall on any of your other devices.

It only took 9 years...

And only a few hours for Apple to destroy a very useful app.

I really wanted this, and I must have just missed getting it (tried around noon eastern - 9 AM pacific - and it was gone). Is there currently any other way to do this (without using a mac or jailbreaking)?

crap, I put it on my wishlist last night. Should have downloaded it.

Yep, I was able to get it installed on my iPad Air 2 today.

Thanks, but these types of apps have a third-party server intercept the call to record it and I'd rather not have my recordings, even if it's just me fighting a local utility company, on someone else's system.

Agreed, just passing it along, I have only used it twice in a pinch, which was nice cause I got my money back from T-mobile after they tried some shady stuff on my bill. Wouldn't record any security sensitive calls with it though!!

Why must Apple approve things and then decide a week later that it goes against their rules. It's kind of annoying. Just review them properly the first time.

Maybe because the company that owns the Vidyo trademark (http://www.vidyo.com/) complained about trademark infringement.

Not sure this is worth buying just in case Apple pulls it...

App has been pulled.

Not surprising as you can record Streaming HD video/movies/TV - a major copyright issue...

Glad I got it before it was pulled - but no future updates though ;-(

Does this app record everything or just apps
[doublepost=1452171383][/doublepost]Like can we record the home and lock screen for example

Anything that can AirPlay

That wasn't why it was pulled - the developer was going to change the name.

Pulled out. just As expected.

It still shows up in my iTunes Purchased list on my Mac, so I can, and have, manually downloaded it to my iTunes library (even though it is no longer available in the App Store) for safe keeping or to install on any other device.

Did anybody notice that Vidyo is running constantly in the background? Spying?

It would be have to run in the background as it is running a virtual AirPlay server.

Yup, I was just told that Vidyo can record my iPhone 6 screen, but only found that it was already pulled from the App Store.

Lucky me, I found two additional ways to do this trick, one is by using AirPlay function to mirror iPhone screen to pc for direct recording, the other one is by using Shou, but it requires jailbreak before using. And Shou.TV must be installed before using its recorder.
