If somebody sends me a link with the URL "app.getclick.co", there's roughly zero chance I'm clicking on that. Not to dissuade you from your chosen branding, but would it be possible to make your links appear a bit less spammy?

Hmm that’s good. We have been looking at some more straightforward dot coms. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi, I'm the maker! I would love any feedback or ideas that you guys have.

How does this differ from Apple's native "Copy iCloud Link" feature?

Good question, I would say the biggest difference is the vine-like recording interface that lets you record multiple clips and merged them together. It also never requires you to save it on your phone. Not sure if the icloud feature allows you to record direct to the cloud but that may be an advantage as well.

1. The app reliably crashes if I just tap on the screen and then click Done. 2. Why does it need registration? At this point I don't see any benefit from it. 3. Is there a way to delete videos? Or the whole account? Do the videos get deleted automatically after some time? 4. Is anything uploaded before the Done button is clicked?

Sorry to hear that it's behaving badly for you. Happy to delete your account manually since we don't have any of that built in at the moment. Feel free to email me at george [at] stilllife [dot] studio with the email address. Registration is useful for future features (like having an index of all your videos for example if you wanted to delete some of them) Videos are supposed to get uploaded before hitting done to i…

If they are being uploaded show a progress bar immedietly. Make it obvious to the user what is happening. Magical applications that do things silently usually tend to fail silently in non obvious ways. At least with a graph you have a point of reference.

How do you view prior clips? Once I start a new clip I don't see a way to go back (it could be I'm missing something that's colored as I keep my iPhone SE in black and white mode)

What is the use case?

How much is too much video for internal storage? 1 GB? Why an app is needed if default camera apps have single clicking sharing to Google Drive?

And if the storage is the problem how is streaming 1 GB over wi-fi or 4G?
