I’m an investigator and this app has helped consolidate some tools that I previously carried. It works well and picks up great audio. Investigators at my agency are not assigned body cameras so when doing high risk things I run video and mount it to my vest. For typical voice recording and body camera stuff it works well. External controls would be a nice touch but I understand that is limited by the functionality of the phone. This app would be five stars but when using the front/face camera in landscape mode, the video is flipped upside down. Also, you cannot black out the screen without stopping the video. It will look like it’s still recording but in all my tests the video stops when the screen is blacked out. Being able to black out the screen would be extremely useful for conducting interviews, specifically in a car.

The app UI is simple to use. The biggest problem with the app is the fact you cannot choose multiple pictures from your library at once to upload to the app. The multi select works once you have the pictures in the app to add categories and case numbers. It becomes tiresome and time consuming when you add one picture from your library at a time. Please add the fix!

This is a great way to upload photos when I have a small amount to add to a case. However, the recent update where ID and Category fields are required for each photo before being allowed to save it to the upload queue is a hassle. It was much easier in the past to quickly title each photo and move to the next, then batch edit the ID and Category for all in the upload queue, then uploading. Not allowing photos or other items to be uploaded until they have the required fields seems like a better option. Also, the return of auto-capitalization after hitting the spacebar each time would be appreciated.
