CovertCam FAQ
Is CovertCam free?
CovertCam is not free (it costs 39.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is CovertCam legit?
🤔 The CovertCam app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Its been years and users are asking for the same thing can you atleast consider removing the red dot in video mode? We would all appreciate it and then you’d have the perfect app for covert recording, if not can you atleast give me a reason? App is a 3.5 just because of the red dot man, other wise it’s absolutely perfect
Best app
Best app for candid photography!
Not a real black screen
It has a bright red dot on the screen when recording video.
Video
Swipe to the right and don’t let me use video I do same what instructions but the video not turn on
Live video instead of video?
When I try to take a video by double tapping while in video mode, it instead takes a live video. Am I doing something wrong or is the software just outdated?
This app is difficult to use
I was able to switch to video mode and also to settings, but return from setting to the black screen make it disappear the preview window from the bottom and I can’t make it reappear again until I close and reopen the app. I wish you could fix that
I use this app to record videos in a really private way
But having the red or green icon so big and on the top right side of the screen make it so obvious to everyone that it stops being private and can no longer use for mysterious recording as those big icons red dot , green square make everybody realices that I’m recording and can’t be hidden , private or a secret anymore
I wish you could fish that
I don’t think it’s necessary to have such huge icons it could be something really small and neat.
I wish you could fix it
Amazing simple and a smart idea but
If you could just at least minimize the size of the red dot then this app could be a 5 star as well if possible add backgrounds
Not completely black
Does't cover completely your screen! Theres a green light on top and you can see the picture you took on the bottom!
Stay away, there’s a bright green dot on the black screen
Not sure how this wasn’t fixed, but there’s a bright green dot in the upper right corner of the screen, letting anyone know that the phone is not of fact asleep. Save your $.99. Useless
Confusing
App works as advertised, only I noticed one ‘small’ problem.
After I take a picture or video, it does not save it to my device and I have no way to go back and look at what I recorded. Is this a bug or is there some kind of issue on my part? If I could get some help with this problem, that would be delightful.
