For what?? You can only do 1 boomerang and save to your device or whatever but then you have to do a subscription for the next ones. Also if you try to screen record it will say nice try but it’ll let you screen record but once you go to the video it’ll js be blank and the video is not gonna be their!! That’s js dumb. ### 2/5 — Not a bad app *2022-10-09, version 2.0.6* I don’t love this game but you can make videos and pictures and stuff but to save them you have to pay the game money and some people do not have the money for a game like me. That is why I wrote this review for people to see. I do not recommend this app.😩 I will be deleting this app and never getting it again. ### 2/5 — Wonderful.. if it worked. *2021-08-14, version 1.08* I want to love this app so much. From what I can see, it seems like amazing. However ever anytime I try to use it, or edit with it, the app always crashes/ white screens. And I can not see or edit anything, let alone save. I see see how some things were purely for use only with a subscription which I’d also be interested in, but as mentioned I can’t even get the app to run. I’ve tried many hard and soft resets to the app and my iPhone, however nothing works. I am really bummed out. :( ### 5/5 — I just want to make my video longer *2021-05-01, version 1.06* Video longer ### 5/5 — User friendly *2021-04-29, version 1.06* Super cute videos and really user friendly! I use all the time for my content ### 5/5 — Convenient *2021-04-27, version 1.06* I always use boomerang on instagram but its always so hard to catch the right moment sometimes. So being able to use any video and turn it into a boomerang is so much easier ### 5/5 — They make you review the app to unlock features *2021-04-27, version 1.06* The title should tell you everything you need to know. ### 5/5 — forced to review *2021-04-27, version 1.06* the app is cool but i’ll tell you what’s not cool... forcing users to rate 5 stars in order to unlock more than 1 sec clips. Sheesh... could i use it to assess how i feel about the app before y’all force my hand ### 5/5 — Good *2021-04-27, version 1.06* Wish you didn’t have to pay for additional features though ### 5/5 — Had to do it *2021-04-26, version 1.06* Had to give the app 5 stars to unlock a feature that should be free. My actual review is 1 star. ### 5/5 — Bogus Rating *2021-04-25, version 1.06* The app makes you give a 5-star review to make boomerangs longer than a second. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I wanted *2021-04-24, version 1.06* I had a video my boyfriend briefly took of me that looked super cute and I wanted to capture it a certain way. This app did an excellent job!!! ### 5/5 — Forced rating *2021-04-20, version 1.06* Had to do this just to make my boomerang more than 1 second so here we are ### 5/5 — Doing this only to get the extra features *2021-04-20, version 1.06* I do t know how I feel about this app yet ### 5/5 — Boomerang *2021-04-20, version 1.06* Pretty smooth, the picture is clear and it’s easier to connect to my social media accounts. ### 5/5 — 5 stars for a service *2021-04-18, version 1.06* You know, apps shouldn’t be allowed to bribe their users with basic use of the app in exchange for a 5 star review ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not a very happy game *2023-05-13* You made a fun app but when I download it there were all of these horrible prices for a small app- ridiculous! And I was only able to make one video! The rest I tried to make had prices come up saying I had to pay to save it! Which makes it annoying and not very enjoyable. Now I have deleted the app. Hope there’s changes throughout the game soon.😉 ### 1/5 — Scummy app trying to sell the most simple edit ever. *2023-04-22* You're really going to block my screen when i screen record and make me pay for the automation of playing a video forwards then backwards? Theres websites that do what you do for free with no logo at all. I was using this for the EASE of access but i guess even the easiest things in the world need to be sold. I would put 0 stars if i could. Ridiculous 👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — expensive subscription ($6/WEEK!) *2023-02-15, version 2.0.7* Free 3 day trial (very limited version of the app) then it’ll cost you $312 a year. What a joke. This app preys on the stupid and/or lazy. You can make “boomerangs” using Videoshop and that app only costs $10 total, it’s a one time purchase. I got this app to do quick and easy boomerangs but I’ll spend the extra 30 seconds in Videoshop. ### 1/5 — Pay Us or you can’t do anything *2022-10-12, version 2.0.6* The process is simple. Make your video like before. Add your effects. Select your layout. get all the way to the end and click save. And suddenly you can’t do anything without purchasing a subscription. It says it’s saving. But it doesn’t save anything. So much for making one of these every few months. ### 1/5 — Worst experience ever *2021-04-17, version 1.06* After getting the app it somehow signed me up for a $53 subscription. I don’t even know what this app could offer that would cost $53. I have tried to contact them through the email provided on the app, but I’ve been ignored for a week now. I want a full refund. This is insane that no one from the company would even return my email. ### 1/5 — Paid subscription doesn’t work, deceptive practices *2021-04-06, version 1.06* I subscribed and the paid features still do not work. Couldn’t use a video any longer than 1SE. Also, the FIVE STAR REVIEWS ARE FAKE. The app bribed you to leave a five-star review to unlock features. I chose to pay I rather than lie, but paying does not work. In addition, once you select “Free” Trail, it states that the first month is 99 cents. ### 1/5 — Subscription based *2020-10-10, version 1.05* Was super excited to use this app since it was working great to make a loop from a video I had. BUT, when I went to save it, it opened up a page where I had to sign up for a three day free trial where it would then be 3.99 per month!!! I wouldn’t pay that in a million years. I wish they had either a simple pay once version or even a free one with ads. But 3.99 per month is ludicrous for a simple app with no advanced functionality. ### 1/5 — Scam *2020-10-02, version 1.05* This app is a total scam. Take it from someone who has downloaded it already, don’t waste your time and storage. All you do is choose your video, pick how many seconds you want it to be (I chose five since you can’t go higher than that), and it takes you to a “buy the membership” screen. Total waste of time and I will never be downloading this app again. ### 1/5 — Crashes before I can even try it. *2020-07-04, version 1.05* Downloaded this 3 times. Have a new iPhone 11 and restarted it. Every time I try to open this app, I get to the 1st screen asking to access my photos - I say yes, then it just freezes. If I close and reopen the app, I just get a blank white screen and can’t navigate further. Obviously there’s a big needing to be fixed. Guess I’ll just grab a different looping app. Bye! ### 1/5 — Misleading but seemingly functional *2019-11-15, version 1.05* This app provides nothing for free. I was disappointed to edit a video to perfection, then see I could only export if I signed up for $2/month subscription fee. I’d gladly pay per boomerang but I don’t make enough videos like this to join a subscription service. Instead of “try this for free for one month and give us your credit card so we can auto charge it once you forget,” a better strategy would be 2 or 3 free uses and then you have to start paying. I understand that companies and app developers have to make money somehow, but being dishonest and wasting my time until the end masquerading as free is not cool. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boomerang❤️ *2023-04-16* Boomerang can make things so funny and sometimes I take my videos and use my thumb to go back-and-forth to see if it will capture something really cute. If so, I transfer it to Boomerang, since it automatically makes it go forward and back… Love it. ### 5/5 — Fool proof *2022-10-30, version 2.0.6* This app is easy to use and makes it convenient to make a boomerang out of a video. I also like the option of making the boomerang in reverse too. ### 5/5 — Good options for free *2022-10-09, version 2.0.6* I appreciate that there is a decent amount I can do without paying for the app. Other apps require in app purchases to download but this app has been great for creating projects 😁😁 ### 5/5 — To unlock *2021-05-09, version 1.07* Had to rank with 5 stars to unlock the feature I needed. I literally haven’t even started with the app yet ### 5/5 — Going to delete this after I make my dang video *2021-05-07, version 1.07* They make you rate it to get access to days ### 5/5 — Boomerang *2021-05-04, version 1.06* Very happy with this new app, I just downloaded it today and having fun learning and figuring out how it works, seems very user friendly so far. ### 5/5 — So far so good! *2021-05-04, version 1.06* So far I’ve enjoyed the app. No major complaints (other than being required to write a 5 star review to increase the boomerang time) ### 5/5 — Just to unlock feature *2021-05-03, version 1.06* Had to do this to unlock feature ### 5/5 — “Rate 5 Stars to Unlock a Feature” *2021-05-03, version 1.06* Was asked to “Rate 5 Stars to Unlock a Feature” so now you know why this app has so many 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Unlock features *2021-05-02, version 1.06* If you want to use certain features, review as 5 stars to unlock.. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
