Flipping sucks

Keep crashing won’t record audio worth a flip

awful sounds all of sudden

Idk what the hell they put in the new update, literally. Yesterday everything was fine and today when i open the project my sounds all sound muffle, as if I’m on a call or something. Close the app multiple times, even turn of microphone for DR and restart iPad, the issue still there. Even my spotify suddenly sound muffled whenever i open Davinci Resolve. How is this “low quality mdoe” still a thing in the big 2026.

Vertical Layout

Awesome! Many thanks for vertical layout support!

Not a tooltip in sight

Honestly you need to explain to AI how to help in you iPad version. Because I’ve had clips loose entire sections, zoom functions unable to use. Then when something doesn’t work - not even boo out of this app. Should have a browser button at the top so I don’t have to waste the extra clicks googling every aspect of this app. Better off not trying.

Was great…idk what happened

It seems to have randomly deleted the project that I was working on. I really liked how the app worked, but I don’t know if this is an issue with an update, or what, but I opened the app and now there’s nothing there.

Counter-intuitive software

Software that wastes your time and does not let you do simple tasks like dragging or dropping.

Keeps crashing

I’ve had the pc version for years now and wanted to edit on the go, all was well when I was using free but now that I paid it keeps crashing with the new *features. At this point I’d like a refund TBH.

They saved me

THEY GOT MY KIDS BACK FROM ROBLOX DUNGEON THANK YOU SO MUCH. In all seriousness this is a great app for editing, thank you!

Unreliable

I wouldn’t recommend using it for a client project, even for short-form content. It’s just too unreliable

Exceptional app… until AI arrived

I have been absolutely blown away with this app since I first downloaded it when it became available, roughly around DR 117/18. It worked SO well, never crashed, never had issues. That is until AI features arrived. This is to be said for the desktop and iPad version of the app. The last 3 builds have been riddled with bugs, which make the editing process superbly painful and I really am losing faith in the software, due to the addition of AI features. The errors surfaced as soon as DR 19, 20 and 21 introduced the mass AI features set, and to be honest I hate to leave a bad review, but seriously guys you are ruining this software something silly!! PLEASE please sort these bugs out :(

pls update

app keeps crashing after a minute, i’ve done one video in 4k early in june everything was good, but now i can’t even edit some slide show

Currently bugged

Currently unable to render projects, regardless of render settings the app freezes. Had to transfer everything to my pc which was a pain. New issue never used to happen

Love it!

The only thing missing is the ability to open X-OCN footage… I wonder if they will give us the update soon since they just did for desktop DaVinci.

Great but crashes on my device

I have a 9th generation ipad and it crashes frequintly but i love it besides that

Unable to import media

Can’t use it, takes forever to any media to be uploaded… disappointed

still better than capcut

works great except no fusion page and some fx missing that are on pc

Colour Grading

Beautiful and easy to work on it.

Crashes extremely often, unusable

I was happy to see that there was an app version of this software after using desktop version but this is so buggy it crashes every 4 seconds when you try to use it. Unusable and really disappointing.

Goo goo ga ga

It’s great… but it it keeps closing the app for some reason

Doesn’t work on iPad.

It's fine on Mac, but on iPad it just does not work. It will crash every two minutes or so no matter what. Extremely frustrating as a student.
