*2020-11-11, version 1.2*

I bought this app on my daughters phone and my sons phone. On my sons phone it worked perfectly fine but on my daughters phone I pressed on it and it took me back to her Home Screen.  I am giving you a warning so you don’t give your hopes up.

If the creator of this app see’s this review please try and fix this problem.

### 1/5 — Terrible, won’t open

*2020-09-19, version 1.2*

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

This app looked really cool, but does not open up and let me play.

### 2/5 — Dissatisfaction

*2019-05-25, version 1.2*

It was fun to make and view the video, however when it was time to Scherret which is what I made it for, it says the system (?ever play)used to share it , is no longer working. So now I can't share it with the people I made it for

### 3/5 — So bad it’s hilarious

*2019-04-29, version 1.2*

Tries to be like Jib Jab way too hard. The app is never updated (hence the year round holiday themes).
