5 Best & Free Screen Recorders for iPad (No Jailbreak)

Top 2: Screenflow

Other than iOS Screen Recorder, there is also Screenflow, another iPad screen recorder that does not require any jailbreak. Screenflow is an easy-to-use screen recorder iPad that simply records your video quickly. The best thing about this program is that it can take quality screen videos on the first try. To start using it, you will be needing a lightning-to USB cable to connect both your computer and handheld device. Once you've connected the two, you can boot up Screenflow and start recording.

Top 3: Apowersoft

Third on the list of useful screen recorders iPad is the Apowersoft iPhone/iPad screen recorder. The Apowersoft iPad screen recorder is a very simple recording program that easily allows you to record whatever you are doing in your iOS devices and your Mac devices. Check out the screenshot of the program below to get a better look at how it works.

Just like for iOS Screen Recorder, this program allows you to mirror iOS devices then record the content of the screen. It also works with Apple's Airplay feature which makes it really easy to connect your two devices. It can also record audio from your devices via microphones or even speakers. This is probably the second-best recorder on the list next to iOS Screen Recorder with the great functions that it can offer.

Top 4: Shou

Shou is also a very useful screen recorder iPad. Shou is a program that can be found in an app store that is known as Emu4iOS Store. Once you download Emu4iOS, you can easily find Shou and you can easily download it. Once you've downloaded it, everything becomes simple from then on. Upon booting up Shou, all you'll see is a recording option where you can start recording your content. Just click on the record button and you can record everything you're doing. Take a look at the screenshot below to know what it looks like.

Top 5: Quicktime

Lastly, we've got Quicktime Player. Although most people don't know that Quicktime can be used as a screen recorder iPad, it is actually one of the easiest to use since it's already built-in. However, the catch is that only devices with iOS 8 and computers that are OS X Yosemite can make use of the screen recorder iPad option. Also, you'll need a lightning-to USB cable to connect your two devices together. Once you've done that, you can boot your Quicktime player and look for the screen recorder iPad under the “Files” tab. Once you've clicked on the recorder, all you have to do is start recording your video and save it.

Comparison on these screen recorders

Those are 5 of the best screen recorders for iOS devices that are out in the market. So now the question is which one is the best? Well, the answer to that will definitely all depend on what you are looking for in a screen recording program.

If I were to rate the five, I'd definitely put iOS Screen Recorder at the top of my list because this program has the most features. It also allows for the easiest connection of devices through a Wifi connection and mirroring.

Second, on the list would most likely be Apowersoft as Apowersoft has a lot of similar features to iOS Screen Recorder including the ability to work with Airplay and the mirroring feature.

The third is Screenflow since Screenflow is one of the easier ones to use and still has some basic functions that allow you to optimize your screen capture video. It also allows you to record audio sounds clearly with high definition.

Fourth is Shou since Shou is one of the simplest to use. The mechanism for this program is so straightforward that even a person who is not very tech-savvy can make use of it. To record, all you have to do is press the record button and everything is done for you.

In the last place, we've got QuickTime since it does have the least features. I would say QuickTime is very useful if you don't want to download any more programs since the function is already built-in. However, you do have to possess lighting to USB cable and your devices have to fit the requirements that I've mentioned above.

Now that you know the top 5 best screen recorders out there, it's really up to you to choose which one you want. Your choice will all depend on your knowledge of the tech stuff as well as your needs. Choose wisely!
