### "Simple but effective "

September 13, 2018

5.0

GoPlay is great because it is a simple program that still feels like it has enough features to fulfill all my needs. GoPlay has allowed me to easily get gameplay footage from Steam games for reviews and demo videos

Pros

The keyboard shortcuts were fantastic, especially if I’m recording a game while playing it

Cons

This may be my computer, but I often experienced slowdown in some of my games while I was recording

### "App Is Amazing For Youtube Gamers!"

March 30, 2020

5.0

Over all this app is ok, not what I was looking for in the beginning due to a monthly fee, but if you don't mind paying monthly you should choose this one for YouTube or Vimeo

Pros

If your a YouTuber trying to find a good recorder and video editor! Try this App out! I'm only using the free trial but it really is a helpful app! Not many video editing software come with screen record which is nice. Renders out in high quality, a library of music and pictures to use. Because it comes with a screen recorder best for your YouTube videos then you can edited after words.

Cons

I wish you didn't have to pay monthly for it, I wish it was a one time pay. If I could I would totally buy the full version and see for my self all the options I have.

### "Great software for screen recorder"

December 26, 2018

3.0

Pros

Go play is a screen recording and video editing tool. Apart from recording and editing it also has features like audio mixer ,noise removal and more. Using go player we can edit and sync subtitles for you tube videos quickly. In the projects done in university sometimes we are asked to submit video presentations dubbed with our own voice. In such a case Go player is the best choice to do the task easily and efficiently as it contains both recording ,editing features in the same tool.

Cons

Go player does not support all the file formats. Sometimes it is bit difficult to use go player as the interfaces are also not much user friendly.

### "All-in-one, easy to use and best mobile software for video editing and screen recording"

June 2, 2019

5.0

Pros

This is the first ever mobile app I found when I was searching for a screen recorder to record my gameplays and make a movie out of it. This the best and basic screen recording app for every newbies and also for those who want to record their screen for a quick purpose. This app also provides all basic features needed to edit a video like video Trimming, Cropping, adding some effects like lightnings etc. This app also provides a feature by which we can easily upload a recorded or edited Video to YouTube in a simple and quick way. With this app, we can easily add some music or songs of our choice into our videos which is the main thing to do with a video editing app. There's an effect store from where we can get additional Video effects to add in our videos. The most impressive thing is its Filter feature. We can add Texts in our video whuch is basic feature every Video Editor should provide. At last when the video editing is over, we can export it to the mobile Gallery or share it to social media sites like Facebook and Instagram and also to Youtube. This app doesn't take so much storage space unlike other video editors, which makes it best, all-in-one, featured and easy to use video maker, Editor, recorder in a single, optimized and low size app. There's also a feature where we can make VLog(Video Blog) but I never tried it.

Cons

Almost everything in this video editor is perfect but there's a little problem with the Screen recorder and that is it can't record the Internal Audio because of which the surrounding noise also gets recorded when using mic, though the noise could be removed with one of its features but still we can feel the bad noise recorded with mic. So, Internal Audio recording feature should be there.

### "Okay video edition "

September 27, 2020

5.0

It was fair. It would not be my primary software to edit videos.

Pros

It can be fairly easy to edit videos and there are some good features for the ones that are starting.

Cons

You still have to invest some time chasing features. Don't get me wrong, it's great to have additional features and exciting to find them but I have seen better ones.

### "GoPlay Video Editor"

July 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

I actually found GoPlay Video Editor by searching for Reviews on Capterra - and I can say the reviews are true! I use it to screen record and edit together cosmetic videos I make for my Instagram page. The software is easily laid out and the options are basic but powerful. For a free program, there is a ton of features to use.

Cons

I have basically no complaints, although a few times I have run into problems when trying to screen record. Simply closing out of the software and relaunching it solved the problems though.

Pros

It is very user friendly and obtaining the pro version was just as easy. I followed the steps to upgrade from the free version to the pro version and it worked. I have recommended this software to multiple people.

Cons

In order to record the entire screen, I had a second monitor installed.

### "GoPlay Video Editor Lifetime Review"

September 17, 2018

5.0

Aside from these pros and cons, GoPlay Video Editor is a really great and versatile software to use. One of the most recommended ones to buy in PRO version. All beginners and experienced alike can simply make high-quality videos with little efforts and easy how-to-use. As one of the long-time users (a high-school student), I have this program all the time when editing and recording videos for nearly two years and will still stick to this one. This software really has a lot of potential and it can get a great deal of popularity in the future, I guess. :))

Pros

Mostly comes from the editor part. It's easy to use, has a reasonable editing time and the recording filesize is low. There are a lof of essential features like Youtube/Twitter upload, sound effects, filters, transitions, pre-installed intros, etc. All of them contributes to a good software like GoPlay Video Editor. What about recording? It's OK enough, if the recorded screen is not too large. Although a lot of tools (camera, audio recording and many options...) are not completely perfect, these features still work good in most cases.

Cons

A good video editor also has some limitations. For example: \*Huge memory consumption: Not a significant one with high-end computers, but cannot record CPU-intensive games in low-end ones. \*Inconveniences in recording full-screen videos: Yeah, like Warcraft III, I had to open the program some time before playing the game since the record screen will show up during recording. An option to hide the recorder would probably make it better. And more, but that's all I can suffice to say. \*Unneccesary files: Something that's not used anymore still exists inside the software. Removing them would give the software better optimization and cleaniness.

### "Useful for Screenshots!"

August 25, 2019

5.0

My overall experience with GoPlay Video Editor has been very positive and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to be able to take screen recordings of my computer. This is one feature that I know many people are always on the look for and so I would highly reccomend this for that.

Pros

GoPlay Video Editor can come in handy for a variety of different purposes. However, what I like the most about this software is how I can use it to take a screen recording of my computer. This has been helpful for one project where we wanted to highlight a tracking tool that our nonprofit organization uses. This is a feature that many video editors do not have and so I will continually turn to GoPlay Video Editor for whenever I need to use this feature.

Cons

What I liked the least about this software is that sometimes I find that some formats of videos may not be supported and so I will be unable to import them on to here. This can be an inconvenience at times and I will be forced to use external converters to convert my video into the right format so that I can import them into GoPlay Video Editor. I hope that in the future, there are updates that allow for more types of video files to be supported.

### "Average video recorder, easy to use"

October 11, 2018

3.0

I used Goplay editor for almost a year as a PRO user. In general it works well for recording and editing if you do not have mixed audio (computer audio + user microphone). This means that recording games, business webinars, video presentations and similar use cases (where you have only computer audio) works well. But when I started trying to record business and in-game video conferences (inside browsers or inside tools like Discord) it did not work well recording audio. This is very unfortunate, because the tool is easy to use and in general works well.

Pros

The tool is very easy to use. Recording is quick and painless. Editing is reasonable and editor has all the normal features expected in video editors.

Cons

First it has bugs that are very difficult to live with. For example the "track your mouse" checkbox has to be deselected when recording browser sessions which have Flash running, or else the whole browser will freeze. Also, recording a session with a conference software like Discord or even a browser conference window, you will get problems with the volume of the audio. The audio coming from the conference tool will be recorded in a very low level, no matter what setting you use. Second support is almost non-existent for PRO users. They take forever to get back and when they do it is with a generic answer.

### "Great software for quick and easy vid capture"

September 13, 2018

4.0

I needed to create IT training videos to help my Service Desk resolve issues faster. The quality recording controls and layout of the software enabled me to record quality content.

Pros

It was easy to setup and get started capturing video with quality features, an intuitive layout, and good customization.

Cons

While it's primarily driven to gaming, I would like to see some sort of options or store that can be accessed to download community content - like openings or endings, sounds, etc. to give editors more creative freedom. I primarily purchased the software as a cheap solution to capture training videos that I could distribute to my company's end users. As a gamer, I like the options they start you off with, but I would like to see more content for creative freedom and direct uploads to popular sites like Twitch or Mixer

### "GoPlay Video Editor - ‘is an useful combination of video editing and screen recording’"

September 28, 2020

4.0

My overall experience with GoPlay Video Editor is very good. As I stated, this tool is a dynamic platform and anyone can finish any task with efficiency.

Pros

GoPlay is packed with a lot of important features and I absolutely like that fact. I am using this to create different types of content for my clients and they are happy with those. Screen recording and subtitles edition to video option is great and makes it easy to finish some tasks. As we know this tool a next-generation 3-in one video editor that allows you to create amazing features on a super easy interface. I must agree that the audio quality is very clear. I think anyone can be very efficient with this tool.

Cons

I didn’t like that, GoPlay does not support all the file formats and I felt this is an obligation to finish any project quickly. The interface is not always user-friendly.

### "Solid software for editing and screen recording"

December 3, 2019

5.0

I wanted to screen record business meetings so I could capture what was displayed and discussed. While probably not the original use case (I assume gaming capture is), I find the simplicity of the tool to accomplish my purpose outstanding. I have a collection of meeting videos that I have trimmed to keep only the important parts. An excellent simple tool.

Pros

GoPlay Video Editor is easy to use for video editing and on top of that, does excellent screen recording. The basic features needed to edit a video including video trimming, cropping are easy to learn and easy to use. The screen recordings make it easy to track through a meeting and provide the substance of what was shown and discussed.

Cons

This simple program does not provide much to dislike. I do find it is a memory suck sometimes when live screen recording but my computer can usually handle it.

### "A great Video Capture/Editing software for a great price."

September 13, 2018

4.0

I wanted software to record, edit, and upload videos of me playing computer games, and I didn't want to spend a whole lot. GoPlay met my needs, and I have reccommended it to friends.

Pros

This software is very easy and intuitive to use and has a lot of features.

Cons

I just wish it had more built-in fonts, wipes, things like that. Then again, I'm probably just being entitled here, because it already has plenty.
