Apowersoft Android Recorder

Apowersoft Android Recorder is a streamlined and useful piece of software that acts as Chromecast-based receiver with simple screen recording features.
Simply put, with the help of this utility you can cast your activity (both video and audio) from your Android-based device directly to your computer's screen and perform recordings directly from the comforts of your desktop.

Straightforward installation and configuration process

Subsequent to its quick and surprise-free installation, before you start recording, there are a few things you should know. Before anything, you should make sure that both your Android device and your computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Furthermore, being a Chromecast-based receiver, evidently, you will need to make sure that an app with Chromecast streaming capabilities is installed on your Android device. For the record, we would like to point out that our tests were performed using the recommended mobile app, Apowersoft Screen Recorder, available in the Google Play Store.

Novice-accessible Chromecast receiver and screen recorder

Once you start the cast from your phone, the connection should be dealt with automatically, and you should be able to preview your activity from your Android phone on your computer's screen in real-time.
The workflow is as straightforward as it gets: you can start and stop recordings, capture instant snapshots and open the destination folder from the app's simplistic top toolbar.
Apart from this, the utility also offers you the possibility to choose the output directory and customize the resolution, quality (low, standard, high), audio output (system sound, microphone or combined) and the output video format (MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, GIF, just to name a few).

Sophisticated within, quite simple on the outside

Taking everything into consideration, Apowersoft Android Recorder is an efficient tool for streaming the activity from Android devices directly from the screen of computers, especially useful for users that want to create Android-related video tutorials.
While the overall look and feel of the app hardly impress, the application's under-the-hood technologies and inner-workings are what make this app worth your while.
