Bonus points from me for not using aggregated data from users for your own purposes apart from with regards to the use of your own services. Most of the the other mobile analytics services seem to require that they get access to general aggregated data.<p>I wouldn&#x27;t record the video though except in a special mode where someone has temporarily opted in to show me how something doesn&#x27;t work though. It is a bit intrusive if the user inputs any data (even what they are reading and for how long seems a bit intrusive to me but lots of web analytics do this).

Awesome concept. Couple of issues&#x2F;questions:<p>-The gray text is hard to read on my screen. It does make the black text stand out more, but it&#x27;s at the expense of readability for the rest of the content.<p>-This looks like it&#x27;s solely for mobile, but you don&#x27;t mention that anywhere on the page (I suppose &quot;app&quot; sort of implies that).<p>-Is this opt-in for users? Is it even opt-out? That&#x27;s a big question I would want the answer to, and the &quot;See how Emulos protects users&#x27; privacy&quot; link appears to be broken.

Continuous video streaming in the background on a mobile device? Say goodbye to bandwidth and battery life!<p>Regardless, myself and many other app developers will still use this due to the tragedy of the commons.

Thought it was similar to Mixpanel, but then I watched the demos. You went full NSA! You never go full NSA. You&#x27;re basically streaming a full screen recording of user&#x27;s activity on their phones.

Seems very easy to just drop into your app. Although I&#x27;m worried about data usage. Doesn&#x27;t streaming video use a lot of bandwidth?

Interesting concept. Is this iOS or Android?
