Review Summary
Users appreciate Hippo Video for its good video quality, ease of use, and helpful Gmail integration. However, many report critical issues such as failure to save user settings, tabs closing unexpectedly during recording, frequent bugs causing recording and saving failures, and mandatory sign-ups. Numerous users are frustrated by the paywall for core features that are advertised as unlimited. The recent update has degraded user experience, leading some to recommend alternative software like OBS Studio instead.
