greatest gaming moments?

If you are a gaming fan then Kamcord is by far the better option for

recording your gaming and sharing it with friends. However, for general

useScreenRecorderisagoodoptionasKamcordisstucktorecording

only games. More effort has gone into the design of Kamcord too.

APP DESIGN

SET UP

Mobile gaming is now an enormous

industry with some games as elaborate

and involving as console titles.

Watching others game is huge as well

so we’ve pitted two

screen-recording apps

against each other to

see which is best.

Tapping on the games

controller icon at the top of

the app brings up the option

to record your game.

However, it will only record

games so it’s fairly limited.

A simple tap on the video

camera icon begins a

recording, so it’s really easy

to get started. It does slightly

cheekily advertise itself at

the start of each video.
