Spec score 7.9 #15 of 26 in Presentation Recording Software

What it is

ShowCam records presentation material, a camera bubble, and narration together in one video on iOS. It supports photo slideshows, videos, interactive web pages, PDFs, Markdown files, and text files. During recording, you can move through slides, scrub videos, tap links, scroll web pages, and use a laser pointer. The camera bubble can use either camera, while narration is mixed with app audio in sync. Recordings remain in the app library, can be saved automatically to Photos, and can be shared. The free plan permits 30 minutes of recording per day, resetting at midnight, and includes all listed presentation sources, both cameras, laser pointer, saving and sharing, and no watermark. Pro adds unlimited recording, markup tools, background effects, camera styling, and no ads. Pro costs $4.99 a month billed weekly, $24.99 a year, or $29.99, paid once. ShowCam records only content opened inside it, not other apps.
