### 4/5 — Не корректно работают кисть и ластик

*2019-06-04*

После первого движения пальцем по экрану область выделения под пальцем смещается. Водишь пальцем в одном месте, выделение ниже миллиметров на 8. Работать крайне не удобно.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2019-05-04, version 1.1.1*

Very bad app, u can only use the Live Photos and once edited looks really rubbish, I regret purchasing not.

### 2/5 — Update needed!

*2019-04-18, version 1.1.1*

Developers, make this app I paid for work.

### 1/5 — Not what I thought

*2019-03-27, version 1.1.1*

Thought this was for animating still photos. 
Waste of £1.99

### 1/5 — !

*2019-03-02*

Крайне неудобное..... нужно специально создавать под него видеоролики. Сохранить на устройство сразу невозможно.... Полное «гавнище»,- извиняюсь за прямоту.... удаляю!

### 4/5 — Вполне хорошо

*2019-02-25*

Задачу выполняет неплохо, настроек хватает. Меня вполне устраивает. Тем более за эти деньги. Ближайший конкурент стоит 1200₽ в месяц. 
Было бы здорово ещё, если ребята добавят возможность накладывать картинку в картинке и экспортировать как LivePhoto
Иногда подвисает при очень активной работе, но после перезапуска программы, результат не теряет. Поэтому четверка ;)

### 1/5 — Şikayetçiyim

*2019-02-20, version 1.1.1*

Beş para etmez boşu boşuna param yandı göründüğü gibi asla değil fotoğraf kullanamıyorsun hiç bir özelliği yok şoktayım inanılır gibi değil yazık.
Zorlada yıldız istiyor ne vericem yıldız mecbur gönderim için 1yıldız yapıcam yoksa onu bile haketmiyorlar

### 3/5 — Проблема с работой!

*2019-02-07*

Почему у меня постоянно уезжает в сторону кисть? Не возможно более детально проработать!(

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-12-20, version 1.1.1*

Not worthy, just a crap

### 4/5 — Great but Confusing Description

*2018-12-15, version 1.1.1*

This app works like Cinemagraph. It enables you to freeze sections of your video or Live Photo. A very affordable alternative. However, unlike what the description indicates, you cannot animate photos. Photos cannot be imported into the app unless they are Live Photos.

The developers should update the description

### 4/5 — Super

*2018-12-05, version 1.1.1*

Schließe mich meinen Vorrednern an. Endlich eine bezahlbare App (vorallem kein Abomodell) , mit der man wunderschöne Cinemagraphs herstellen kann. Die App ist funktionsreich, jedoch fehlt mir die Möglichkeit einen frei wählbaren Frame von bspw. der Fotorolle auszusuchen und im Vorfeld das Video zu stabilisieren. Hoffentlich bessert der Hersteller nach, dann gibts auch den verdienten 5 Stern :).

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2023-02-26, version 1.1.1*

The description is misleading. This only works with videos or live photos. Not with still images.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2022-02-25*

Добавилось только одно видео. Больше ничего не могу добавить, чтоб работать с материалом! Почему так?

### 1/5 — THEY STOLE HUNDREDS FROM ME

*2021-06-03, version 1.1.1*

THIS APP IS A SCAM!!!!!! SAID IT WAS $2.99 AND HUNDREDS WAS TAKEN FROM MY BANK I WANT MY MONEY BACK YOU CROOKS??????!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Paid for it but won’t download 😣

*2021-06-01, version 1.1.1*

Paid for it but won’t download 😣 what now??

### 1/5 — Отвратительное приложение

*2021-01-19*

Вообще ничего не работает

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your $

*2020-07-21, version 1.1.1*

The tool doesn’t line up with where you’re drawing so you can never get an accurate effect. Don’t waste your money!

### 1/5 — Miserabel

*2019-12-06, version 1.1.1*

Ich wollte Fotos animieren und nicht Videos oder GIFs.Schade um das Geld.

### 1/5 — Suuuper buggy-  mask is way off

*2019-08-26, version 1.1.1*

Masking is way off.   Any try to mask the area results in a selection no where near the area I’m actually trying to isolate.  Super frustrating.  Refund please.

### 1/5 — Absolutely garbage

*2019-06-15, version 1.1.1*

Doesn’t work with photos . Deceptive crap

### 1/5 — Don’t work on iOS 12.2 iPhone X

*2019-05-15, version 1.1.1*

It needs a Update i import Videos and want to save it as Gif what i got is a normal Picture.

### 5/5 — Very good.

*2021-03-14, version 1.1.1*

Works very well. 
You ‘obviously’ need to start with a video or Live Photo first. 
Brilliant!
Thanks

### 5/5 — Don't waste your money on this. Here's why

*2021-02-21, version 1.1.1*

Update: for some reason, I don’t think there’s been an update, but it works perfect on my iPhone 11 Pro Max, so maybe there has been an update, but either way, great app, does what it’s suppose to, so that’s 5 stars from me now 

Old review: Don't waste your money on this until they come out with an update. They still have it to where the brush does not match up with your fingers so it makes it impossible to make what you want move without unintentionally making other things move as well. 

If you zoom in and try it you won't even be able to see what was marked until you zoom out because the brush does not match up with your finger 

Until they update their app to make the brush match with where you touch don't get this app. It's unusable. It should really be pulled from the App Store they're stealing from people

### 5/5 — Immer noch gut.🍎

*2020-06-18, version 1.1.1*

Die App funktioniert noch auf mein iPad Pro immer noch einwandfrei. Bin zufrieden damit.👍

### 5/5 — Мне все нравится

*2019-10-17*

главное доступно по отношению с аналогами

### 5/5 — Great App that cost only pennies

*2019-06-02, version 1.1.1*

I have been using this app on my iPhone XR with iOS 12.3.1 with no problem whatsoever. This app is amazing and cost only a tiny fraction of all other similar apps.

### 5/5 — Fits the bill perfectly

*2019-05-04, version 1.1.1*

Perfect for freezing parts of a video and creating seamless loops. I was really glad to see the adjustments (shadows/contrast/color cast/etc) are easy to use and make the videos really pop. Super simple, intuitive interface but not lacking any features. I am imagining the lower reviews are from before a lot of improvements. It is so totally worth the small price tag in my opinion!!

### 5/5 — Cinemagraphs!

*2019-03-26, version 1.1.1*

I was playing around with Cinemagraph Pro, another app on the App Store, who wants $99 a year minimum (up to $299!) to remove the watermarks. 

I read the reviews for this app, and several reviews claimed the app didn’t work, or that the “cursor” was off when painting movement layers. It made me wonder if I was wasting $2, and if I should just purchase the $15/month, $99/year expensive app. 

However, the brush alignment is perfect on my phone. I don’t know what’s going on with other people. I’m on the newest hardware too, an iPhone XS Max. 

I’m so glad I bought this one!  Yes the UI is a *little* clunkier, but it does all the same things that the expensive app does. 

Three hints:
1) use a tripod
2) record 4K video in the default camera app first
3) after you’ve imported the video into cinegraph, you can make Live Photos with another app called IntoLive (under $5) and now you have all the functionality of the $99 app!

### 5/5 — 👍🏻

*2019-02-25*

Приложение рабочее, свои задачи выполняет (если руки из плеч) и не требует подписки!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2019-02-23, version 1.1.1*

This app does what it says and is a lot more affordable than alternatives.

### 5/5 — Echt cinemagraph endlich und für wenig Geld

*2018-10-20, version 1.1.1*

cinemagraph erstellen geht Super gut 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
