### 2/5 — Peter and matti..

*2023-10-03*

I bought this because they advertised it in youtube. Great idea. Terrible development. No support.

### 1/5 — Great idea, unusable execution.

*2020-11-04, version 1.2.1*

Would love this app... if it worked. Incredibly buggy on my iPhone XR. Recorded playback is constantly jittery and not remotely smooth, even with a gimbal (definitely a software issue). Also, everytime you pan the camera, no matter how fast or slow, the app refocuses the video as soon as you stop loving. Every. Time. Unfortunately cannot use the app for anything in its current state, which is a shame because the idea is fantastic, and the controls are pretty intuitive.

### 5/5 — Grazie veramente

*2020-01-02*

Ho aspettato un sacco prima che diventasse gratis e finalmente adesso è mia. GRAZIE!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2019-09-06, version 1.2.1*

I follow this guy’s YouTube account and heard about this app. Very simple to use and can creat some great text on videos. 
For the future I hope they add more fonts and an option to edit and match colours rather than the colours already available, but considering this is free, it really is excellent.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2019-09-06*

Useful for IG stories!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2019-09-06, version 1.2.1*

It’s not working with IPhone XR

### 4/5 — Easy to use

*2019-09-04, version 1.2.1*

Very easy to use and responsive. Would like to see more typeface options in the future.

### 5/5 — Best

*2019-09-04*

Applications like these can help us make content anywhere anytime

### 4/5 — This is a awesome idea.

*2019-09-04, version 1.2.1*

I love the way this app makes something complex feel simple.  Tracking text can be time consuming but now you can basically just drag and drop.  I wish there was a way for this app to add track text in a prerecorded video. But it is still very cool

### 4/5 — Good App!!

*2019-09-04, version 1.2.1*

The AR tracking works really well and I can see plenty of potential for its uses. Also like that it records in a 2:1 ratio in landscape and it’s free! Be great to see a greater selection of fonts in future updates. Good job!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.1 — 2018-11-06

- Fixes iPhone X, XS, XS Max, XR
- Major performance optimizations
- New color palettes

### 1.2.0 — 2017-10-31

Making things look better all around including:
- 3D Text
- Updated design

### 1.1.0 — 2017-09-29

We performed open heart surgery on the app. We replaced the screen recorder. The new screen recorder saves straight to Photos much more reliably.

We also made the UX around initializing the AR scene a bit nicer.

### 1.0.2 — 2017-09-22

This version just updates meta data around the app to only allow certain devices to run the app. (iPhone 6s and above)

### 1.0.1 — 2017-09-20

The short of it: we've added a page which helps you get around a bug found in iOS11.

The long version:
There's a bug where when you hit "Save" in the video preview window after recording, it actually won't always save however hitting the Share button in the bottom left on the same page always works.

We believe this is a bug in iOS11. We've created a bug report and have added messaging to help guide users.
