GREED
Here we go again . You think I’m now going to pay £9.99 A WEEK??? No chance . Pure GREED. You have shocked me that to save my project I now have to pay. Greed . Well I’m not going to pay , and I’m going to delete Splice from my phone and reinstall iMovie.
I don’t buy it that you need £9.99 a week from everyone to keep the app afloat . Well done for alienating most of your loyal Splice users, I expect you’ll notice us leaving by the thousands now , but just make sure you give a big pat on the back to whoever persuaded you this was a good idea .
If I could give no stars , I would .
I’m shocked and appalled that you think users are willing to pay this- you think that because we use the app, and have been loyal Splice users (and recommenders to others ) that we need Splice THAT MUCH that we’ll just blindly pay weekly ?!?!
Splice is gone from my phone as of NOW, and frankly , I don’t care about projects I’ve lost , or the ones I now can’t save unless I pay you .
Forget it .
I’m sure you’ll give me a ‘developers response ‘ saying that you are sorry that the paywall you have inflicted on your loyal fan base wasn’t up to my expectations , but I think you’ll find nobody expected the pure GREED of £9.99 a week either.
With all the hard work put in over the years by your developers to make this app what it was , with such a base of loyal believers in Splice , you really have turned this into a Greek Tragedy , the lesson you will learn from it is about GREED.
Goodbye Splice.

GREED
Up to £10 for a week! Really. You’ve got to be kidding.
Use to be a good app. Now the developers have sucked out all the good stuff that was in there before and pushed it under the subscription model as all greedy developers are doing. All the updates now try and make you sign up for a subscription. Nothing more than GREED. These types of developers want their hand in our wallets and bank accounts forever as they bleed money from us each month. Should be a simple model of you purchase a software package and thats it. And you choose to update or upgrade if YOU wish. The subscription model is one where they try and prise more and more money from us. Even the updates do not inform you that if you update you will be taken to the subscription model. Even more unscrupulous GREED. So their app now lets you use the tools to create a video. Oh but then try and save it…. Wait you need a subscription to do that, that you could do BEFORE they implemented a subscription. Disgusting these developer practices. Oh and the new subscription app doesn't let you take YOUR videos out of it now, nor play properly… wait for it… unless you of course pay the subscription. You developers DO NOT have the RIGHT to force this on to us, let alone mine/our devices. You should be honest and tell us an update moves to a subscription. Just GREEDY DISGUSTING practices. Oh and notice that the subscriptions will cost customer more than it was to purchase a package in the first place.

Response from developer
Hi! Thank you for your feedback, we’re sorry to hear that the current subscription options didn’t live up to your expectations. Our developers put a lot of effort and hard work to continuously improve the quality of our service: that’s why we prefer to ask you to pay for a subscription rather than ruining your experience with unpleasant ads or limiting the offer. However, we believe it’s important to offer you a free trial useful for you to try out all the functionalities before committing to a subscription. If you decide not to keep using the app once the trial is over, you can easily cancel your subscription. We invite you to try it out and to let us know what you think by dropping an email to hello@spliceapp.com.
App has become unusable
I loved the app for its straightforward and intuitive video editing interface—enough that, for years, I overlooked issues like slow uploads and frequent errors forcing restarting the app. However, now it has become entirely unusable. I have spent hours over the last several days attempting to upload media to a new project, and the app continually gets stuck on a loading screen, never actually allowing me to select media to upload. This step was always slow and frequently required restarting the app before it worked, but now I let it sit for half an hour at a time and it still never loads. The two or three times my camera roll did actually load and I thought it might be working, I ran into an error once I selected media and could never successfully load it into a new project (and upon restarting the app, I was back to a never-ending loading screen). I attempted to contact support and received an automatically generated reply about app crashes that was not relevant to the issue I was having. I followed the instructions to supply a video of the issue I was having, and got no reply (which was no surprise, as past outreach to support has gone unanswered). At this point, after hours of wasted time, I have to conclude that this app is no longer just glitchy with poor support, but entirely unusable and a waste of time and money.
