### 1/5 — Can not Delete Videos

This App Does Not Have Delete Function

### 3/5 — Not saving

*2020-06-04, version 2.1*

Its not saving the videos i take anymore.

### 1/5 — Dizzy

### 2/5 — Not working

*2020-04-24*

It doesn’t work, it’s upside down

### 3/5 — Almost perfect

*2020-03-16*

I loved this app before it’s update! Now it only shoots upside down? I have to turn my head just to make sure I’m getting what I want in the frame properly 🤦🏽‍♀️

### 4/5 — Amazing but has some issues!!!

*2020-02-10, version 2.1*

I absolutely love the simplicity of this app, and how great the videos come out. There’s a few problems that I face every time I use the app;

The first being that when I try to take a video, it says it’s recording on the app, but when I go to see if it actually recorded there’s no video in my camera roll.

The second being whenever I try to record, usually the second time I record a video, the entire app crashes :(!

I would love to see these issues fixed, as I want to use this app more frequently!!

### 1/5 — Dissapointed

*2020-02-03, version 2.0*

The new update is so bad. The effect was better before and now is so lame.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all.

*2019-11-22, version 1.3*

Freezes, doesn't do anything, will delete.

### 2/5 — this app can’t compress videos

*2019-11-10*

hi! this app would be amazing if it simply could compress videos??? please fix this!

### 1/5 — Filming but no saving

*2019-06-06, version 1.3*

I do not get it. Every time I film a video it never saves and there’s no where that I can access them nor watch what I film. Whenever I upload a video it does not work either.
