Will it work for the iPod Touch Roger?
Will this record the user actions like "tap", "swipe", "pinch" etc.? Just yesterday I recorded an iOS session to show the developer an issue with a beta of an app I'm testing so I had to research this. It seems that user actions can currently only be added either by defining your own accessibilty gestures (very clumsy) or have to be added in a post-production step with an application like ScreenFlow on the Mac.
Really disappointed by not having AUDIO recording with the screen recording. Users are having a hard time capturing issues without verbally explaining things.
Still waiting for an easy to use, natively stored phone call recording capability. Would be tremendously satisfying when documenting crappy customer service calls.
