### 3/5 — Problems

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.7*

One of my clips I have worked on for months disappeared out of no where.

### 3/5 — Clips

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.7*

It is okay but on one of my videos it only shows the poster that says the end so I cannot see what I am filming or on posters I can’t change the writing cause it just looks like the poster that says the end. But all the rest is ok

### 5/5 — Didn’t think I would use this

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.7*

As a YouTuber and not rlly having editing apps this helped a lot instead of imaging what I could be saying I can put a note saying what I’m saying

### 4/5 — For the people who want to know if it’s good:)

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.7*

It works no adds fun to mess around with takes up most of you storage space lol makes great videos really fun

### 5/5 — Bad

*2025-09-21, version 3.1.7*

Disappointing apple

### 5/5 — Great

*2025-09-20, version 3.1.7*

I just wish that we could have more effects and stuff

### 1/5 — Awful 🤮🤮🤮

*2025-09-20, version 3.1.7*

I was done recording and was going to upload it to notes and I couldn’t press the upload it to notes because I couldn’t press it, it just didn’t work, then I got kicked out so I went back on the app and all my progress was gone so I re-did it and it did let me press the upload button and while it was uploading it was at the end of uploading then it said failed to upload.

Don’t use this app for recording use FreeForm it is sooooo good

### 1/5 — No icon support

*2025-09-16, version 3.1.7*

There’s no dark or the new Liquid Glass support. There’s no background task to export these videos to files. Gets frustrating to keep the screen open for so long waiting for it to complete.

### 5/5 — WOW

*2025-09-16, version 3.1.7*

This editing software was how I made cringe mini movies with my plushies when I was younger! 10/10 would recommend 👌

This is amazing Apple you are literally COOKING 🧑‍🍳

### 3/5 — Eh.

*2025-09-16, version 3.1.7*

It’s not bad, but it’s also not that good. I don’t like how I have to hold my finger for the record button. Why can’t I just click record with keeping my finger there? Also, there’s very limited music. The music to choose from is not that great. There’s not enough effects and features. It’s fun for a quick video, but it’s kind of weird to use. If you’re looking for an app to make edits, this is definitely not the app. Use CapCut. But if you’re looking to make a simple and easy video for like a vacation trip or some nice pictures and stuff, use this.
