Upload to YouTube, not my camera roll and YouTube
Red bit studio
I love the app and it actually works and opens quick, but I am annoyed that I must allow access to my photos for the app to upload to YouTube. I would like to have them straight to YouTube and not sent to my camera roll where I must later go delete them and then delete from recently deleted, and it also wastes space. This is the one thing I would fix
Great app
AnCapDan
Every time I tested the app, the video uploaded just fine & within a minute of ending the recording. It’s crashed once since using it, but it worked just fine immediately afterwards when I reopened it. There is even a feature that makes it record as soon as the app opens. Definitely keep this on your iPhone’s dock or at least homepage so you can be ready to record the police or any other situation where you need quick video evidence that an aggressor couldn’t delete if they got your phone. If you’re not comfortable giving this app access to your YouTube account, simply make another YouTube account dedicated to using this app.
Good app but has a location bug
ColfaxT
Works well overall. I like how the video is automatically posted to youtube as soon as recording stops. My only complaint is that the app seems to constantly use location services, even after the app is shut down. Battery is draining faster since install. I disabled location services for the app which fixed the problem, though presumably video will no longer be tagged with the location; seems a shame to lose that feature. Hopefully a fix will be forthcoming.
Beware the privacy you give up
Paid by the hour
This is a great idea, and I'm glad I have it. However, I was not expecting to have to give control over my YouTube account to the Network for the Elimination of Police Violence. There on the last screen in setting up the app was a requirement that I allow the NEPV to be able to manage my YouTube account. New users of the app should be warned that they may want to set up a new Google account so as not to make their existing content subject to modification or deletion. While I doubt anyone in NEPV intends to do this, one never knows who might hack their data.
Misleading screen grab.

No Vimeo support - at least here in the US. You must have or create a YouBoob account to use this app - Pass.
Good idea, poorly implemented
Thompson Hill
The fact that the screen is locked in the opposite orientation that most people use for taking movies makes it awkward. The setting to lock screen makes no sense because the movie still comes in upside down on YouTube. Plus I don't like the idea that they can access my YouTube account if that's true so I have decided to delete this app
Great app but needs a few tweaks
HelloKitty^-^
This app is great and make sure to test it before you need it as it takes time to set up. Feature request would be the ability to either darken the screen or record while locked so police don't delete your recording.
Fatal flaw

This app would be great except it does not save video continuously. So if you are recording and something suddenly happens to your phone (smashed, confiscated, powered off), the video is gone. This app fails in its intended purpose.
