    I love how they say it’s updated for IOS 7 yet it still has the old keyboard which means it’s not optimized for IOS 7 *SMH*

    It litterally takes 4 taps to change the quality, and theres no way to so set 720p or highest quality as default.

      Why did you have to put literally in there? That trend is getting annoying. At least you used it correctly, however, unlike most people who use it.
