Congrats on the launch, looks impressive and very nice.<p>What caught my attention was how you managed to snap the keyboard and status bar and get the app past approval (which is what I assumed from the demo). But after giving it a go, it seems that your SDK doesn&#x27;t actually capture the kbd and status bar.<p>Being curious, I did some further digging into your SDK and UIKit. I presume for the demo, you must have used a custom SDK build so that you could tap into some private APIs? You can get the UIWindow for the keyboard via public APIs (UIApplication&#x27;s -windows) but the status bar is private (_statusBar ivar on UIApplication; easily accessible with -valueForKey:@&quot;_statusBar&quot;]). Note that _statusBar is a subclass of UIView (direct subclass of _UIScrollToTopInitiatorView which is a subclass of UIView).<p>So for anyone else wondering how they capture the full screen, that&#x27;s the way it seems to be done :)<p>Oh, by the way, if anyone&#x27;s doing screen &#x2F; view capturing, I highly recommend looking into the new iOS7 APIs (-drawViewHierarchyInRect:afterScreenUpdates: and -snapshotViewAfterScreenUpdates:).

I must have missed the info on their website, but are users being notified that they are being recorded?

Doesn&#x27;t work in FireFox at all.

It looks interesting.<p>On a presentation note:<p>1. Use a tripod for your camera. 2. please fix your lights! You probably aren&#x27;t hung over, but the lighting suggests baggy eyes. Lighting is easy. Use window light. Heck, you are even shooting with with a front-facing camera on your phone, so it should be easy to pick some lighting that works nicely :-)<p>Both of these things are cheap or free, and will drastically improve your presentation, IMO.<p>Cheers!

Nicely done! The automatic logging of custom view names in the timeline is a nice touch. Are you planning browser&#x2F;web(app) support as well?<p>I&#x27;m currently using Reflector to record the screen, along with a separate camera to record the user&#x27;s face and hands. It&#x27;s a more complex setup that makes remote testing significantly more difficult, so there is definitely value in this, if the price is right.

Does the user need to approve the recording of your face and screen? If not this could be a serious problem when someone with a mildly-nsfw app (but acceptable to app store) decides the record all the naughty stuff their users do and blackmail them.<p><i>puts on tinfoil hat</i>

I don&#x27;t get it: it&#x27;s beta but it&#x27;s already been used by companies. Should I be in doubt when I see this in a landing page? It looks like they bought the theme with that and decided to keep it.

Been trying Lookback for the test phase of the latest version of our app and the feedback there is good, but seeing users using your app and interacting with it is priceless!

Wow. This is fantastic to get that much feedback on how users are using an app. Are there any other tools like this on the market currently?

This looks pretty good, I could imagine using this to do preliminary user tests or even full blown studies.

Nitpicky: but please don&#x27;t have video auto play. Eek.

I wonder if this can be used with Phonegap?
