the crippling fate of pocketvideo
honestly, despite the flaws that the older version of pocketvideo had, it was still completely usable. it had many features that other free apps didn’t have, and it was always fun to work with. things like greenscreen compatibility and whatnot made the app fun to use. When i opened the app again, however, i was definitely confused about what has changed. looking for the features i fell in love with, i realized how much content was removed in the app. the app itself has dumbed down into an obsolete video editing software that only supports video filters. it almost feels like a completely different app, which is most definitely worse. i don’t know why the previous features were removed, but it was probably one of the worst things to ever happen to this app. once a unique and resourceful video editing software, now a retarded one trick pony. how sad.Show less@koccyx

Dear User, We were forced to rebuild the app from the ground-up because the codebase was outdated. We are working hard to add back the Green screen, Music, and Sticker features. If you enjoyed the old app before, please show your support to our small team, it means a lot to us during this transition. We love you!why’d everything change?
I downloaded this app mostly because it was free and better than iMovie for editing on your phone. You could add text wherever you wanted on the screen, not just in the center or corners, like iMovie. It was great for making vine compilations and stuff like that. I even had videos on there that I was looking forward to finish editing, then when I opened the app, everything was different.
If you look at the reviews, no one likes the new version. People used this app for green screen, text on videos, layering and even making edits but now no one can do MORE THAN HALF of those things. I hope you’ll consider changing it back, because as you can see, a lot of people want you to.Show lessclarehamilton
It used to be good
I loved to use this app for editing, but when I went to edit with it today I found that it had completely changed and I could not longer do anything further than adding music and filters. What happened?! Now it can do pretty much the same thing as IMovie or the photos app on iPhone, which deems the app completely pointless and useless for me to use as what set it apart originally and made me want to get it was its ability to do different editing things. It has basically become a tik tok video editor, which can be done in the regular photos app or iMovie. Please change it back to the original as I loved it and thought it was very helpful and easy to use for video editing, while now the app has changed completely and is not very helpful for video editing at all.Show lessLilbug9

This app is what I used to use to edit but now you can’t even edit anymore? All you can do is export videos you already have. I’m not sure if this is a bug or what not but what’s the point of having this app if I can’t even edit with it. Uninstalled, I give it one star but I wish I could give it 0. I can’t edit at all like I used too, it screws up my video without me doing editing. Now all it is is a pathetic video saver. Change this now. Your performance is screwed up so badly that I can’t even edit. I fail to put out content because of this update. This app used to be my go to. Now all there is are bad apps with watermarks everywhere and paid trials. Fix your app please. EDIT: so I downloaded the most recent update and nothing changed at all. I’m disappointedShow lessFix this application
Please bring the old version back
I used to love video star. The editing and the green screens. Though what saddens me is that the new update you can let us put on green screens anymore nor can we do what we used to do. I love how you guys updated the app I really do but I wish you kept the old version and still added the update. It just isn’t the same with the green screens and other edits that where on the app before. So I do hope that one day you put it back to how it was before with the green screens and all.Show lessAnnanethlonglive
Worst update ever
This is just extremely disappointing. This app went from one of the best video editors on the app store to one of the worst in one update. I have no idea how you could possibly mess up this bad. Everyone loved Pocket Video before the update but now there are considerably less features and the new UI page is ridiculous. Very cluttered and hard to edit videos. Green screen effect, adding text, even cropping video capabilities are now gone?? This update completely ruined the app. I came onto the app just today to edit a video for Instagram which I have been using for years, but I come to the app to see that the features I wanted to use were gone and the UI menu is very bad. I ran here to write a review here and I see that nobody else is happy with this update. You messed up bad. Fix it.Show lessethano17
New updates have made the app difficult.
Hi! ive been using this app since 2015 so i could edit, but most importantly add music to my videos without the hinderance of the music being copyrighted, since im not uploading my videos anywhere that would make me profit. I haven’t used the app since February of this year, but the update to the app has made it incredibly difficult to use. the only thing that seems to be left editing wise is adding filters, and when i attempt to add the music from my library, the app immediately crashes. If possible, please consider returning back to the old format. It was much easier to use, had more editing options and didn’t crash when i added music!
Thank youShow lessAliaaa22D
What happened to the old style?
I was in so much shock when I opened the app, everything changed and I was in disbelief. There was no tutorial of the new features (well, there’s less now.) You couldn’t even put a text nor I couldn’t find the green screen button, stickers, ect. It was also hard to see since it was so zoomed in. I also miss the feature where you can change the width and the height of the box. I tried editing a video in it and it kept glitching when I played the video and also changed the color for absolutely no reason when I pressed nothing. I used to use this app when I was young and I loved it since there was so much features in it to edit. Sometimes when I play the video it makes the video really fast and short, which I think it’s a glitch. Even when I try to download the video it kicks me out of the app. Needless to say, I really miss the old one and would hope it would come back...Show lessDenesaur
Was once good
I was just using this app last week thinking that it was fantastic and there was nothing like this on the App Store, but then the new update came. I was just about to add text to my video when I realized I couldn’t. I can’t even edit at all with my iPad horizontally, it has to be vertical. And all I can do now is add music, and a bunch of different filters. This has just changed the app from one of the best editors on the App Store to one of the worst. This will no longer ever be useful to me in any way at all. It’s kind of sad considering all the time I have used pocket video, whether it was for school projects, or just making videos for fun. Now I was in utter shock when I saw what it had become. Nothing needed to change, no new interface was necessary, and I can assure you taking out all of the features was not necessary. Now I have no good way of editing videos, which is really sad because I had just gotten back to making videos. This has changed the app to quite possibly one of the worst apps on the App Store, and I would love if it were to change back to its original state, or at least gave us the option for us to go back to it. I can no longer seeing this app provide use to anyone at all. I am just really disappointed with it.Show lessGyfji uff GB j
