Hi, your app seems great! I am however having trouble understanding how it works - does it upload the recording after an arbitrary period of time or does it stream it from the start of the recording process? Just recently I have had an unfortunate adventure with the police when they were clearly abusing their power, and when I told them I would record it with my phone the cop told me to better not try it or he'd smash my cellphone on the wall and do the same with me. I wish there was an app with constant streaming so this kind of stuff would be less likely to happen in the future.

I was actually thinking about this the other day - It'd be awesome to have an app designed specifically for that use case. So it'd stream a version that's as high res as your connection can support to the server, broadcasting it live to anyone on the site/app who could tag it, share etc. Meanwhile, it's saving the full res to the phone and also trying to backfill with that as the connection allows, you could even have it use wifi direct or bluetooth to stream to other devices in the area. That way someone could have their phone inconspicuously in their pocket, backing up and uploading the content from the people recording. It'd also keep recording with the screen locked, record the location, maybe even integrate remote wiping.
