5 Android Screen Recorder Apps (Topic)

Beginning with Android 5.0 Marshmallow, Google has added to the operating system the ability to record video actions performed by the user on the device screen.

However, this feature only works on Android OS: it is not intended to record mobile gameplay or app actions. However, there is nothing to worry about. Google Play offers a ton of solutions to help you record both YouTube videos and your own steps to set up your apps in high quality.

DU Recorder

Completely free application with powerful functionality and, importantly, no ads. DU Recorder records videos in HD quality at up to 60 fps with no limit on the length of the video . There are settings for resolution, bit rate and frame rate, the ability to pause recording, capture from the front camera, etc.

Also included are some tools for post-processing the finished video.

Pros:

• the application is free;
• user-friendly interface;
• no ads;
• has a built-in editor.

Cons:

• does not compress video to save space.

Mobizen Screen Recorder

Like the previous app, this one writes high quality 1080p HD video at 60 fps. Professional video makers will appreciate the ability to add background music, simultaneous recording from the front camera and screen, and the ability to create an intro and an ending. With the built-in editor, the finished video can be rotated, trimmed and accelerated.

By default, Mobizen leaves its own watermark on the video. You can remove it in the premium version.

Pros:

• HD recording without length limits;
• built-in editor;
• the ability to pause shooting.

Cons:

• there are ads and watermarks.

ADV Screen Recorder

Not a bad tool with a lot of unique features: edit video while shooting, pause, capture images from both cameras and add your own watermarks. The add text feature is useful for creating video tutorials.

Pros :

• for beginners there is a default mode with basic features, for advanced users - an advanced version;
• the ability to add your own logo or watermark to the video;
• when shooting, you can use the rear and front cameras of the device.

Cons :

• there is an advertisement;
• advanced mode costs money;
• limited post-processing capabilities.

Game Screen Recorder

No ads, no in-app purchases. The application knows how to detect that a game is running on the device and automatically start recording. There is a tool for adding an intro and outro to a video.

Unfortunately, Game Screen Recorder also captures the record button along with the video. If you forgot to turn it off in the settings, you will have to figure out how to close it during post-processing.

Pros :

• starts recording when the game starts;
• requires no money.

Cons :

• no built-in editor;
• does not record audio.

Google Play Games

Yes, Google offers its own production tool for mobile video makers. Although it is quite simple and unpretentious compared to other apps, it is worth trying if only because it is already installed on your smartphone.

Launch an application from Google Play Center, and through the widget you can start or stop recording at the desired time. The maximum video resolution is 720p.

Pros :

• you already have the application;
• it's extremely easy to use;
• completely free.

Cons :

• few settings;
• rather poor recording quality.
