### 1/5 — Can no longer export video

*2026-08-20*

I used to love this app because I could export a video and save it to my phone but I cannot do that anymore. It seems like all I can do is send my message to a room?

**Developer response:** Hi there, this is Tim, one of the co-founders of Crosstalk. You can still export your videos, the location of the button has just moved. Once you create a post, you must tap the "Share Post" button and the export option is in the "More Options" list. There has been no change to export limits! Sorry for the confusion and thanks for using Crosstalk!

### 5/5 — Super funny

*2026-07-11*

This is popular over TikTok and this is the only free one

### 1/5 — Impossible

*2026-05-04*

The account button is right infront of the create button making it impossible to actually create a video it just takes you to account

**Developer response:** Hi there, this is Tim, one of the co-founders. I just wanted to apologise for the issue you experienced creating the video and thank you for reporting it. We have found the bug and fixed it in the latest version. If you have any further issues, please drop us an email at support@shorty.now and we'd be happy to help!
