### 4/5 — Not bad but can use improvement

*2024-06-21*

Interface isn’t that bad to learn but would help if you could render clips at 16:9 and not all just in square fov

**Developer response:** Thanks for the idea! We will put that on the list for an update

### 4/5 — so far so good

*2023-01-21*

i just downloaded this app yesterday and seems to work very well. definitely a useful tool to use when making videos for my music. out of the gate one feature that would be very helpful would be support for using audioshare to import audio files. other than that pretty happy with the app.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Glad you find the app useful and good idea with AudioShare we will definitely   Put that on our update list. Thanks for the idea!

### 4/5 — not working

*2022-10-09, version 1.2*

love this app but on my 13 pro, it’s not working. app opens and shuts down right away

### 4/5 — Wicked Rad

*2022-10-03*

Killer work. The effects are so nostalgic and awesome. Please give us a widescreen option like your other app has. I’d even pay for the option. Great job.

**Developer response:** Awesome! We will add that to the list glad you like the app :) It is a great feature request.

### 4/5 — Needs work but still cool

*2022-07-25*

Update App still isn’t working on iPhone 13 but I am happy to say it works on the new iPad Air just like it should Maybe an update will fix the iPhone version   once I navigate to the color mixer page there is no way to navigate back to the previous screen with all the effects the buttons under the mixer are not working I am on iPhone 13 iOS 15.5 I have reached out to the developer and was contacted via email  I have since tried on my iPad Air and it works just fine hopefully an update will fix the iPhone version. Otherwise great app I would just get more use out of it on my phone.

**Developer response:** Hello there! Sorry but you didn’t contact us or you wrote to the wrong email. 

Not sure what you mean “second broken app” or “needs work” means. Non of our apps are broken. There is a close button that will take you back under the EQ. We haven’t received anything from you. Not sure if you are emailing the right address. Can you please email us at 
ohhihello@destroyallcircuits.com and we can walk you through the app! Thank you  DAC

P.S. We have a walkthrough on 
our YouTube channel. There is also a FAQ built into both apps.

**As an update you didn’t email us after we wrote this

### 3/5 — Good, but not there yet

*2022-01-27, version 1.1*

The ideas here are really great, and when you take the time figure out the controls you’re def rewarded with a pretty cool editing tool. But there’s a pretty big glitch in that when you give it access to your camera roll nothing shows up, footage only shows up in your files. I’ve tried deleting and redownloading and it didn’t help, so with that in mind idk if it’s worth the £5. Still needs some updates maybe until it gets there.

### 3/5 — Awesome app!

*2022-01-14*

Awesome app, i really enjoy messing around with this thing. Im hoping in the future a feature could be added where you can pause or slow down or scrub while the video is rolling so you could “fine tune” effects where youd like them placed, or some kind of way to make transitions smoother from video to video but that could possibly fall into the pause/play, or even fast forward or rewind thing i mentioned. If that would be possible i would rerate 5 stars and refer this to as many people possible, this app has alot of potential.

**Developer response:** Hi Glitchkitty thanks for the ideas! We have taken notes for future updates :) anymore ideas don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you 
DAS

### 3/5 — Fun but needs work

*2022-01-14*

Really love the concept of this app; however, I find it challenging to navigate the import process. It’s also not very intuitive from beginning to end. If you import one videos no want to edit, you have to close the app and start over unless I’m missing something. 

Nice start to an app with great potential.

**Developer response:** PaulS124 thank you for the idea! We will add a load button next update :) Stay tuned! DAS

### 5/5 — Awesome effects, not a fan of the interface

*2022-01-11*

The effects you can get in this app are awesome, really fun and easy to use. 
I understand the vintage aesthetics of the app, but I am not a big fan of the interface. wish you could turn the orientation in portrait mode, have a button to start recording (instead of just start recording in load), and showing the files with the little vhs tapes is fun, but sometimes can be difficult to see the little video thumbnail.
Other than that the app is really good and fun, great job 👏🏼

**Developer response:** Hi Joseph thanks for the ideas :) We are going to put them on our list for future updates! If you have any other ideas please email us. We would love to hear them!

### 5/5 — Data to brain interface

*2021-12-24*

I don’t know how these app developers have managed to tap directly into my brain, but I will let them harvest all of the data they want because I’m having so much fun using this!

### 1/5 — Does not work on iPhone 14 Pro

*2023-08-23*

I bought this app a few days ago and to this day I don't know that it does. It gets stuck at "encoding" the green line reaches 100% and then nothing happens. The screen just stays the same.  I think I'll just ask for my money back.

**Developer response:** Why don’t you actually write to tech-support? Why write a negative review and not actually try to work with us to fix the issue with your phone? Saying it does not work with the iPhone 14 is ridiculous . There are hundreds of people using this app with no issues.

### 1/5 — Want a refund. Misleading IG ad.

*2023-01-03, version 1.2*

Nothing like the IG Ad says. No effects that are on IG ad. Heavily disappointed. Will be getting refund.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-11-13*

The app freezes at the second step.

**Developer response:** We need way more info. Please email us. 

Update : never heard from you

### 2/5 — Does Not Respond to Audio As Advertised

*2023-08-26*

The effects are really cool but I bought this because they advertised that it responds to audio. Not sure if I’m missing something but I tried a few different songs and the visuals look identical for each one. The interface is also clunky and the lack of support for different aspect ratios makes it borderline unusable for me. I recommend Glitch Studio. EDIT: the devs responded that data mosh deluxe is the one that automatically reacts to audio but I came here directly from an Instagram as that said it was the only glitch app that reacts to audio, and it was an ad for THIS app not the deluxe one. Highly misleading.

**Developer response:** Hey there, your questions definitely point to the fact that you didn’t do the tutorial. Like I said, they both react to audio in different ways. You’re comparing a program that is completely different than our program. Why wouldn’t you actually contact us?  We could’ve helped you out with the program or even switched programs for you if you felt that it didn’t meet your expectations. I’m not really sure why it’s so easy to complain, trash and not give a small business a chance. It’s called working together to make the product better. Sigh 😔

**Developer response:** Hello there a DataMoshReactive allows you to DataMosh in time to the audio datamosh. Deluxe is automatic hope that makes sense. Any other questions feel free to email us or DM on Instagram

### 2/5 — Bastante pobre, pero buenos efectos, util

*2022-08-06, version 1.1*

No hay opcion de exportar en 4k, ni tampoco FHD. Tampoco 9:16 ni 16:9, sólo 4:3. Mala compra si necesitas tener esas cosas en cuenta.

### 2/5 — Tried to use. Failed to import from camera roll +

*2022-02-04*

Can only load through files. 

Files get stuck at encoding and time out a bunch too. 

Was excited for the app but too many bugs.

**Developer response:** I’m not sure why you wouldn’t email us and you would rather give us a bad review. There are so many reasons why this could be not related to the app itself. We need more information please to make this the best program it can be. Write to us ohhihello@destroyallcircuits. Thank you

### 3/5 — The concept is cool

*2023-03-16*

Way too buggy. The videos always get stuck during the encoding process but the two times I did to use it were pretty cool. But buy at your own risk

**Developer response:** If you write a review that our app is buggy and to buy at your own risk you should email support first to see if it is our app, your videos, your OS etc…

These kind of comments hurt small developers, and there are many reasons why it could be buggy not related to our app, as we have had many many users purchase our app with no bugs.

If you truly like the app and you want to sort this out, please email support we are here to help :)

### 3/5 — Brilliant app but doesn’t display/output correctly on IPhone XR

*2022-10-17, version 1.2*

Seems to be a bug where the UI is all cropped and the outputted videos have the top and bottom chopped off.
I really love this app, (5 star if fixed!) but it isn’t usable on this phone at the moment unfortunately

### 3/5 — Cannot upload or save video from camera roll

*2022-04-13, version 1.1*

The only way to get a video to load is through files and the only way to save is to files. The camera roll does not work. Please fix as this is a major annoyance & issue. Ty

(Update 4-13-22)

I got the app to work with camera roll after deleting and reuploading two times. I do like the app but there are some hangup issues, and the UI is not that intuitive when dealing with importing files and starting a new file to play with. I am giving it an extra star for the effort and uniqueness of the app.

I am on the latest iPhone 13 Pro with the latest software build.

### 5/5 — Love it but….

*2025-02-06*

Is it possible to get different aspect ratio outputs? Either way I love it. It’s worth it.

**Developer response:** Hey there, thanks so much! ;) That’s a tricky one. I’ll put it in the list and we can see if we can make it work!

### 5/5 — Slept On

*2024-08-22, version 1.2*

This app is good, I’m using it for a music video visualizer. I’m sure there’s different ways to get better results datamoshing but if you’re a beginner and just want to jump into creating easy. This is worth it. Don’t let all the bad reviews turn you away easy. 
September 19th 2024 I drop mixtape.
MXRX - hikikomori on YouTube if you want to see what I come up with to use as a reference. This app is really simple, hope there’s other stuff like this on the App Store somewhere. Thank y’all ✨🫡🙂‍↕️

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2024-01-30, version 1.2*

This is madness, I love it

### 5/5 — Rad!

*2024-01-03*

I saw an Instagram advertisement regarding DAC’s datamoshing apps and I was extremely interested because I love the visuals of vintage, VHS-styled glitching and weird pixel manipulation. The app is easy to navigate, guides the user in the right direction, and always has a brief tutorial available to jog the user’s memory on what the buttons do. The reactive app, with its extensive effects and their controls, is a tool for users to create various unique videos. Being a beginner in this realm of editing, I look foward to learning and further utilizing this app for future (music) videos and edits.

### 5/5 — Maintain Original Aspect Ratio !!!

*2023-01-21*

I understand resizing the video to fit the UI, but can we please have the ability to maintain aspect ratio of source footage upon export?

So many cool professional uses for this but I don’t wanna have to restretch exported video in post!! Thanks

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words! We put this on our list of updates! Thanks for the suggestions :)

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-12-16*

It goes well with live synth music

**Developer response:** Thanks so much Alexandre! 🙏

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2022-11-28*

This app is so cool, I wish you guys had more apps out there for other types of visuals like synthesizer and crt emulation though!

**Developer response:** So glad you like the app! Those are great ideas :) Definitely putting those on the list thank you!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-06-18*

I bought this app a little while ago because I love love the original  DAC app and just now started playing with it. The ONLY thing I wish was different is the ability to choose aspect ratios. I love the default aspect ratio, but unfortunately everything media related is geared towards portrait mode. Which I personally hate, but times have changed and having the choice to switch it would be amazing.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much! Makes us very happy when people love the app. Also we have put your suggestion on the list for the next update :) Thank you for supporting us and send over any dope videos you have made!

### 5/5 — fantastic and creative

*2022-03-17*

i worked for a long time with „datomosh deluxe“ and i realy like it.
so i expected a wonderfull experience with „datamosh reactve“
and so it is. playing around like in a game and creating experimental videos on the way - great.
this app is a „singularity“

- and: good support by the developer, thanks

**Developer response:** Hello sorry I don’t speak German I had to translate. The issue is you need to fix the apple permissions. Apple made changes to the latest OS. Please write us and we can help you. Also thanks for purchasing DataMosh Deluxe!

### 5/5 — I have been looking for an app like this since 2017.

*2022-03-13, version 1.1*

Hi, I’m into glitch art and experimentation. And I must say, I’m excited for what is going to be the future for artists, especially for the community who’s into glitch and a lot of your potential work, you guys never fail. Always keep up the GREAT WORK.

Two things I would like to address, starting with that, the reason I gave a 5 stars is because the app is gonna so much to expand on! You can create anything. I did watch the tutorial, which did catch my eye to purchase the app, a week later.

After I purchased the app, I went through the app, I can import videos, though, after I had imported audio either from camera roll, or to “skip audio”, a screen loads with the thumbnails of my videos, in a photo loop, in this square box, and in the middle the word “cancel” displays there, and it does nothing else for a long time.

I remember watching the tutorial on YouTube and it was supposed to display “rendering” though that didn’t happen. 

Nothing was happening. So, I went done some research even tried to reach out to you guys, about the issue though I messaged a wrong email. I thought that maybe this app takes alot of Ram to use, or that I need a stronger device, or that I need to restart it. Possibly install a latest software update from the App Store on my computer using my device via USB. 

The device I use and own is a iPhone 6s, if you guys know anything about this. I’ll wait for an update until the bugs are fixed.

If you guys know anything that I would need required for using this app, let me know. My storage is great and it’s been frustrating getting the app to work for many days since I purchased it, though, I have high hopes this app will last a lifetime, thank you, you have created a masterpiece I’ve once been seeking.

Thank you for your incredible development/work!!
