The stability of the game is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent visual glitches, low resolution recording (360p), and audio issues, including cuts after a short duration. While some users find it somewhat usable, the overall consensus is that the experience is marred by significant technical problems, making it not worth the investment.
“Don't waste your $8; it records in 360p or not close to HD. The panel often glitches and shows the Steam logo, the audio cuts out after 10 minutes a lot, and there are very low frames.”
“Tons of visual glitches; nothing I do helps it. Not worth your money.”
“Video always glitches out and shows some random green stuff that wasn't in the recording.”
