I came here to write a 3 or 4* review, but then I saw a review from 2yrs ago complaining of all the same issues I have, and realised that the developers just don’t care. That lack of caring enough to improve, change or fix the myriad of annoying glitches and shortfalls in the app tells me that it’s not worth leaving an encouraging review in the trust that the feedback will be heeded, but more use in leaving a warning for anyone else tempted to use the app - caveat emptor, buyer beware, get ready to be frustrated!
For the record:
- Anything longer than a few minutes of video risks the app crashing randomly. Any work to that point is lost
- If they don’t crash, longer videos are a nightmare due to the haphazard and inaccurate scroll bar that you’re forced to use to navigate with (it’s the width of your screen whether the clip is 3 seconds or 3 hours!) Sure you could use the forwards and backwards arrows to go frame by frame, but that’s a lot on a 15 minute+ video
- No way to save an edit and come back to it later so if you shut down your phone for any reason (battery?) mid-edit, any work to that point is lost
- If you leave the app while editing, you run the risk of it forgetting what you were doing. Any work to that point is lost
- No undo/redo
- No warning when you hit the back arrow one too many times, back to load screen. Any work to that point is lost
There’s a pattern there if you look closely enough!
It’s a shame, because the blurring and other effects are well applied (some feathering around the zone would be nice to have), but the usability is so bad that I think I’m going to go back to having to do it on the desktop, even if it is less convenient.
Real wasted opportunity as I’d pay good money for a version of this app that worked the way it really ought to.
