‘Vidyo!’ iOS Screen Recording App is Available Now

Update

…And it’s gone

If you’ve ever wanted to record gameplay videos on iOS, this is the app for you: screen recording app Vidyo is available on the App Store right now for $4.99. Act fast, because there is a very good chance Apple will remove this app by the end of the day.

Vidyo works by turning your device into an AirPlay receiver, then recording the video and audio signal. Simply activate the app, then choose it under your AirPlay option in Control Center. You get the familiar blue bar at the top of the screen, then you’re on your way. Quality seems as good as standard AirPlay – the app captures the full 60fps signal.

After recording, you can edit your videos, trim unnecessary parts, and even record additional audio commentary tracks. Very useful for “let’s play” aficionados.

If the idea of a screen recording app for iOS sounds appealing to you, download this one fast. Screen recorders, like emulators, don’t usually last long on the App Store before getting pulled by Apple. We all wish Apple would add this functionality natively, but until then, apps like Vidyo are as good as it gets.
