I expect not to decrease the quality of the original videos. I’ve purchased it for a couples of years but i’m not satisfied. Can not it be improved? I’ve written to you before and explained that I had purchased this app, but the “Restore Purchase” option still doesn’t work for me. ### 2/5 — QUALITY *2025-08-22, version 10.0.0* Hi It’s good to separate videos into several parts but the quality is terrible!

It’s not worth the money ### 5/5 — Thanks *2021-12-05, version 3.8.0* Awesome loving the app ### 5/5 — Easy peasy lemon squeezy *2021-11-25, version 3.8.0* Just like that 👆🏼 turns my longer video clips into intervals to be shared on social media. 🤯🤯🤯 ### 5/5 — Excellent *2021-11-16, version 3.8.0* ❤️ ### 5/5 — Wow *2021-10-01* Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Súper cool *2021-09-23, version 3.8.0* Great app ### 5/5 — Nice one *2021-07-21, version 3.8.0* Thank you ### 5/5 — Time saver *2021-07-14, version 3.8.0* This is an awesome app. Its a real time saver.

Love! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Be Aware of Severe Compression in Exports *2023-01-01, version 4.0* I regret purchasing this App… it’s going to seriously compress your beautiful iPhone video to look utterly useless. Do not use this app if you have clients depending on the video to be of quality. ### 1/5 — Fake *2022-12-21, version 4.0* So bad ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work and must pay twice! *2022-06-03, version 3.9.0* First, you have to pay for the app and then pay another fee when you open it. Secondly, when trying the feature to cut a video into thirty second or minute long videos, they aren’t transferred to my gallery. I choose a video it says “compressing” then “transporting” then confirms completion. However, when I open my photos the videos are not in there. I have tried several times. I’ve even deleted and reinstalled the app. I’ve deleted many things off my phone to ensure I have enough space. The app simply is a bunk app.! ### 1/5 — Not splicing the whole video *2022-03-04, version 3.9.0* Ugh. I paid. It’s just not working. ### 1/5 — yoyo *2021-09-06, version 3.8.0* 😑😑😑 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-07-16, version 3.8.0* Just splits videos into 15s of black nothingness. What’s the point of that? ### 1/5 — doesn't work in 1min ! *2020-06-10, version 3.1.0* doesn't work ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2020-04-19, version 3.0.0* I tried it twice, and both times it did not save all of the video clips. Some segments were simply cut out and disappeared. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — Failed to create continuous. Skips Clips *2020-02-29, version 2.1* Not working as I thought ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-01-18, version 2.1* Paid to unlock all video lengths. But the videos don’t export. It says they are exporting. But they never appear in camera roll or anywhere else. Sad. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-11-22, version 7.0.0* This app does what it’s meant to do.And does it good ### 5/5 — Cool app helps me edit my art videos *2024-10-05, version 7.0.0* My videos are always too long. But this app cuts them into 15 second sections making it easier to edit out the boring parts and bloopers. ### 5/5 — Videos the right length *2024-09-02, version 7.0.0* I love how Continual Story cuts my video to just the right length so I can post my daily clips. ### 5/5 — Solid App *2024-06-24, version 6.0.0* Does what it says. Point blank period. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2024-01-20, version 6.0.0* Very good ### 5/5 — Intuitive & Effective *2024-01-11, version 6.0.0* I’ve used this app for years! It’s easy to use, never a glitch, and it does the job quickly. ### 5/5 — It worked! *2023-12-23, version 6.0.0* I paid for the $5 a year because it's not much and I'm thanking the developper with my money. Just took at 5 min video and clipped it into 1 min chunks to put on my story on fb, and it worked seemlessly. Takes a few minutes to compress and extract BUT it beats the headache of remembering what the last word that was said in the first clip was and trying to line it up perfectly for the second clip. Perfect, thank you! ### 5/5 — Saves so much time! Super easy to use *2022-07-04, version 3.9.0* Saves so much time! Super easy to use. I’m so glad that I found this. ### 5/5 — So easy to use! *2022-04-09, version 3.9.0* Love this app for getting videos onto my stories! ### 5/5 — Reliable *2022-02-11, version 3.8.0* I have the paid version and love using it for sharing longer videos on my Instagram stories (without the 1 minute interruption!). I also love using the 10 second setting when I want to add more detailed captions. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
