I love this app as a math teacher because I can post to my class website examples relating to my lessons for kids to refer to as guides while completing assignments. I can also flip the classroom and have kids watch my lesson for homework and then spend the entire next class answering questions and practicing. It's also a life saver when I have a substitute who doesn't teach math. Because these videos have no time limit, I can record a whole lesson ahead of time for the sub to play for my class, and I don't lose a day of instruction time. As a private tutor, I also love this app. I can quickly and easily make tutorials for specific students and their learning styles that they can then add to their own library of math resources, and I can quickly draw out solutions to homework problems that they are stuck on and provide them with support via email and videos when we can't arrange times to meet. This is the only app I've found that so easily combines drawings and audio explanations.

Understand this is not a replacement for more advance editing software. However, this is hands down the fastest easiest app for quickly composing a tutorial video in a pinch!

I am a teacher just beginning to switch my classroom to a flipped classroom. I haven't played with all of the features, but this app is my favorite so far for quick 5-7 minute lesson videos.

i just did a quick video for a friend on describing an empathy map and was able to put the empty map in and then draw through it with my voice as overlay. I do wonder at why the screen is so easily shifted around.

Really liked the app. I am missing a simple whiteboard mode without recording. also, please add pinch to zoom

I love to use this app as a tool to tutor students. I have a lot more time to do a lesson than I did on the Educreations app. My only complaint is that I don't see wher the "share charm" is.

Crashes constantly and does not let you set up things. Suckered into buying Pro cause I needed images for lessons, but doesn't even work.

This app is great and works smoothly on my Surface Pro 3. The only thing I'm unhappy with is the quick recording modes versus base recording modes. What I really need is the ability to do a quick recording (record pen strokes and audio at the same time) but with all of the tools available in the base recording mode. I found no other way to contact the developers to request this so I put it here. Upgrading to this capability would get two additional stars from me... :)

I used this app for a personal project, and though with some wrong commands that I'd do it would crash, once I learned what not to do (for example, don't press the "-" on the Frame part many times, or else the app crashes), I was able to complete my project smoothly. I bought the Pro version right on this test run since I see SO much potential, so many things I can do both as a teacher and animator/producer. I would be able to make quick sketches like the ones in commercials, or I can do critiques and give feedback on certain aspects of a project, and I can teach certain things. It's great that it has voice support (have not tried it yet), as well as music support (haven't tried it yet). I was able to import many pictures and it worked great. The only thing I'd like better is for the UI to be more intuitive: right now it's way too confusing. Still give 5 stars since it's such a powerful little app. Should be polished and then should be on Featured Apps for sure!

I found this app by accident looking for a touch friendly mp4 player (did not find one that works). It's incredibly smooth and fast and touch friendly. And though the interface is very clean, it's surprisingly advanced and has all the features I need. Whoever did this knew exactly what he/she was doing, both in terms of recording lessons, and in terms of creating an app for tablet mode. The cleverness lies in the details that you discover along the way. Only thing is that it might be hard for people to figure out how it works and what you can do with it, but that's usually how it is when you've got a clean interface in a touch friendly app. No room for the clutter. Also it needs a paus button, and a laser pointer would be nice. I will definitely replace my powerpoint recording with this app. And will gladly pay for images, as soon as I figure out how Windows store works.
