No option to set amount of time. I used to use this all the time…I even bought the premium for it /: bring back the amount of seconds we’d like for the loop to be ### 3/5 — **MY TIME LOOP BAR IS COMPLETELY BLACK** *2022-11-09, version 1.2.0* This a great app, just could use some extra modifications, (especially for people paying for the “premium” versions). My MAIN concern atm, would he I cannot see the seconds bar that contort amount of time between loops. It’s been like this for a few months :/. “Note: I pay for the “premium version”. ### 2/5 — No Sound & Still water marked *2020-05-24, version 1.1.2* I Instantly liked the features of this app. The diversity of time frames, forward to backwards options and the ability to completely customize the view of the video. However after uploading and reviewing my footage there was NO SOUND and still a watermark even after purchasing pro. The sound really makes a big difference. And without that this app can’t compare to some other video apps featuring slow motion with sound. The boomerang is a good feature for sure- that’s why we’re are here, isn’t it? BUT, There are others with sound effects that have a boomerang ability. Which I found out only after purchasing, like Snapchat for instance. Keep your head on straight before making any purchases. One thing at a time. I hope the rest of you will make an educated evaluation after reviewing other apps before buying. ### 4/5 — BOUNCE Loops! *2019-11-24, version 1.1.2* I thought the videos and Live Photo’s would constantly loop in a forward motion. This creates a back-and-forth “bounce”. I would never want that effect; but if I did, Apple Photos does it for free. I don’t know what “boomerang” is, but it seems that’s what people want (very juvenile if you ask me) so I’ll give it 4 stars because that’s what it does. However, it’s not for me—deleting now. ### 4/5 — Loved it *2019-04-16, version 1.1.2* Loved it, and I just purchased pro. A bit confused if Pro is a subscription of 3 dollars per month which would be something unreasonable. My understanding it is that is a one time payment but want to double check. Thanks! ### 1/5 — Deceptive *2018-01-03, version 1.1.2* States that the in app purchase allow full resolution but videos are still cropped to square format. Wasted my money. ### 1/5 — Live Photos don’t work *2017-12-28, version 1.1.2* You said in a previous post to a customer that you were working in the issues c’mon! It’s not fixed. This was such a waste. Fix your Live Photos. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2017-12-17, version 1.1.1* Could not download unless I purchased the app, first issue. Then it says Pro is watermark free. IT IS NOT. This was a waste ### 1/5 — Exactly what I’ve been looking for—but it doesn’t work *2017-12-05, version 1.1.1* It works great on videos, but after paying $2.99 to be able do the same things with live photos, they still will not load. Where the photo should be turns white a second after I select a live photo. I’m hoping this is something that can be fixed; otherwise I’ve wasted my money. Logical Animal, please help! **Developer response:** Hi Lemondropped, we are sorry you are experiencing this issue loading Live Photos and we want to fix it as soon as possible. We see the problem you are referring to and will look into solving this. Thank you for writing in! ### 3/5 — No audio? *2017-11-15, version 1.1.1* Visually it looks and operates fine but I can’t save it it hear audio. Are these features available, especially the audio if I purchase it? **Developer response:** Hi Davidon, Rendering and playing audio clips forwards and backwards is a technical challenge we will will be working on for a future version of AvivA. Thank you for writing in. Hearing that you want audio helps us prioritize it! ### 1/5 — Crashing *2017-11-12, version 1.1.1* Just downloaded this and it keeps crashing. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-11-05, version 1.1.1* The app crashes every time I try to use it and I even paid for the upgrade!! ### 3/5 — Only works with vertical movies. *2017-09-26, version 1.1* Tried it and it wanted to work. I shot my original video horizontally and the app rotated and cropped the video on export. This left my video tuned sideways, cropped severely, and a large, black strip on the right side. **Developer response:** Hi littleblackdogs, Sorry to hear about your video rotation issue. While these issues are rare they can pop up for a number of reasons. We can help get your video exported correctly and fix the bug in the app for good if send us the original video to feedback@logicalanimal.com. ### 1/5 — Watermarked my video! *2017-08-19, version 1.1* I thought I was paying for pro for no watermark. Sorry I don't feel like advertising ur app on my Instagram 😡 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It freezes!! *2022-10-22, version 1.2.0* This app used to be cool, but as of the past three months, I can’t use the app more than a minute, trying to set my preference and where I want the video to start and the app just crashes before I can even save it. It’s become frustrating and he needs a fix ASAP. ### 1/5 — Freeze *2022-10-20, version 1.2.0* After the update, it just keeps loading… I can see my videos, but it won’t play… ### 1/5 — Nope *2021-08-06, version 1.1.2* I guess if u don’t pay the 2.99 you can’t really use it. I created a video six time. I want a 3 second video to loop for 15 seconds to post to Instagram. It keeps converting feom 3 seconds to two. Not user friendly. Gonna look for another app ### 1/5 — No audio but app asked for use of microphone *2019-08-08, version 1.1.2* Am I missing something? There’s no audio when creating a loop but the app asked for access to the microphone?!? ### 1/5 — NO AUDIO *2019-02-15, version 1.1.2* NO AUDIO should be CAPITALIZED in the app description before customers WASTE $2.99 going pro. You scammed me. Never again, a*holes. ### 1/5 — Crashed before first video *2019-01-31, version 1.1.2* Couldn’t even start to loop first video. Crashed 2 seconds into opening app. ### 1/5 — HAVE TO PAY to use relevant features! *2018-12-27, version 1.1.2* They advertise that you can make a video up to 4 or 5 seconds long – after downloading it was revealed that I would have to pay to have a video longer than 2 seconds! Bait and switch. ### 1/5 — I purchased the pro version *2018-10-02, version 1.1.2* The app changes the video quality and makes it blurry. I’m kinda disappointed ### 1/5 — Upset *2018-07-05, version 1.1.2* I downloaded this app and all of a sudden I got a purchase receipt email I want my money back ### 1/5 — Updating in free version and defrauded. *2018-02-26, version 1.1.2* Charged me twice for the full version app-purchase. Tried to update in the freeware version did not work, but they STILL got my money! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Perfect video loops *2019-08-03, version 1.1.2* Great app for making a “boomerang” with a video you already took. Super customizable with speed, crop, etc. ### 5/5 — Finally *2018-08-03, version 1.1.2* An awesome looping app ### 5/5 — The best!!!! *2018-03-28, version 1.1.2* I have a video of my friend throwing up 🤭🤭😂😂 and this app made it 1000x better!!!!! ### 5/5 — Only one that works right *2017-11-13, version 1.1.1* Allows you to pick the EXACT point at which the loop should start, lets you IMPORT VIDEOS and lets you VARY THE LENGTH of the loop. All for FREEEEE flawless work gentlemen. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2017-09-18, version 1.1* I was struggling for ages to find an app to do what I wanted it to. Figured it out with this one in a second. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2017-09-14, version 1.1* How have I existed without this app until now! ### 5/5 — Instantly hooked! *2017-07-26, version 1.1* Two seconds into playing with AvivA and it's an utter delight. ### 5/5 — Didn't know I needed this! *2017-07-26, version 1.1* This app is phenomenal! I often see quirky or interesting stuff while commuting, traveling or just hanging out with my kid. Sharing that with friends and family is a million times easier when I can take ten seconds of video and come back to loop it. The interface is incredibly easy to use and even with just a few options you can really easily find new ways to get the best out of a video loop. Excellent! ### 5/5 — Latest version is amazing! True underdog app! Blows all competitors out of the water. *2017-07-25, version 1.0.1* So stoked to be the first person to review this! Most fun you can have making all your videos and live photos come to life! This app makes up for everything that boomerang doesn't. You can loop videos at multiple speeds and from videos you've already taken. You can take videos in app or from your gallery. You finally get to choose the moments you want to make special and hilarious. Whether you've got a kid that does something cute, or an insane moment to capture ( or have captured ) this app is for you. So much props for Logical Animal and their big moment to shine! ### 5/5 — Great App *2017-07-25, version 1.1* Solid app, does what it says and does it well. Easy/fun design with much more freedom than what you can do with boomerang. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
