Creating a screen recording on your iPhone has never been easier. Thanks to the built-in iOS feature, you can record your iPhone's screen with just a couple of taps. But maybe you’re trying to record a tutorial or capture some gameplay footage, so you might want to do a little more with your recordings than what’s natively available. We’re going to go over the 5 best screen recorder apps for iPhone, how they differ from one another, and hopefully help you figure out which will work for you.
Here are the best screen recorder apps for iPhone:
- Record it!
- Go Record
- DU Recorder
- TechSmith Capture
- Screen Recorderº
Record it!: iOS Screen recorder with commentary and reactions
If you want to capture your screen and add commentary or a reaction to the recording afterwards, then Record it! is the app you need. When you’re recording your screen, you get all the same functionality that you do natively. But after the screen record you can add an audio commentary or a picture-in-picture style reaction video.
Go Record: Screen Recorder with face cam
With the Go Record app, you can either record your screen or import screen recordings from your photo library. The nice thing about this is you can also import multiple screen recordings and merge them into one video. The app also offers some basic editing tools to help you create a cohesive video and provides a little more control over things like adjusting the face cam size. The one downside is that the free version of Go Record has ads, so be prepared to sit through one or two every time you make a video.
DU Recorder: Screen recording and live streaming app
DU Recorder’s screen capturing feature isn’t necessarily its strongest. It’s everything else DU Recorder can do that makes it impressive. Not only does it come with a full array of editing tools, but it will also allow you to live stream your screen to various platforms like YouTube, Twitch, or Facebook. The app does require an in-app purchase to get rid of the watermark though.
TechSmith Capture: Sync your screen recordings
TechSmith Capture is a powerful screen recording app that’s part of the Camtasia suite of video apps. If you want to eventually send the recording to your computer or a colleague’s, then this app will allow you to do it fairly seamlessly.
