iOS 7 and all previous iOS version comes with an inbuilt Screen Capture or Screenshot features, which let you take a screenshot of your screen and save it as .png format. Later you can view the same from iOS gallery. But what about recording the screen? Till now (up to iOS 7.1.1) Apple didn’t included any such features, may be apple will think about it with it upcoming iOS firmware but the thing is, iPad Screen Recorder is still missing on iOS 7.1.

However, that’s not the end, If you have jailbroken your iOS device then you can get this screen recorder app work on your iPad or iPhone. There are several such apps available on Cydia, but 90% of them either doesn’t work with iPad or work in such a way that will be too critical for you to handle. After doing a long search and installing almost all those iPad Screen Recorder App, we found one such cydia app which works good with iPad mini, iPad air and all other iPad model running iOS 6, iOS 7 or UP. (it may work with iOS 5 but we didn’t try yet)

While going through some iOS forum we found lots of people asking for such app, they are wondering if any such screen video recording application is available on iOS AppStore, if you think the same way then you should know that there is no such apps available on AppStore & the reason is quite transparent, Apple doesn’t allow such application which requires jailbroken device to work with. So we thought to make a complete guide on it, below you’ll find that mysterious app name, it features, how to download iPad screen recording app from cydia and how it use it efficiently.

  1. I always use Quicktime to record my iPhone 6 screen, it is near real-time, but there is some noticeable lag between performing an action on your device and seeing the action occur in the QuickTime window. To get better quality video, I will use acethinker iphone recorder.

  2. Upon starting the recording, it activates airplay. So while recording with sound on, it changes from the loud speaker to the default speaker that you have when you call someone.
    If I have headphones in, it drastically lowers the volume.

    How do I fix this?
