### 2/5 — Fix bugs

*2023-11-19, version 1.0*

May you please fix the bugs I want to show it to my family but whenever I select the scene it just keeps spinning Thankyou

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2023-01-17, version 1.0*

There’s no sound the special effects are bad please do not get this app because it makes me want to say 🤬

### 3/5 — Bugs Won’t load just keeps spinning

*2022-12-20, version 1.0*

I really like this app but lately it has not been working. I select a scene and it just spins.

### 1/5 — The tokens are sooooo stupid

*2022-05-12, version 1.0*

I clicked on effects thinking it would save the effects for later because it took tokens. Little did I know that you have to spend tokens EVERY SINGLE TIME you want to use an effect. I’m not paying money to get those stupid tokens.

### 1/5 — Stealing Tokens

*2021-07-27, version 1.0*

I did not know that you use tokens to apply each effects. So, as I’m figuring things out, I kept applying effects to a picture and the app was saying that the picture format was not supported. However, instead of giving me back my tokens for a picture that will not work, it took my tokens every time I attempt to apply effects to a non working format.

I don’t care if it’s a token based or not, you should return the tokens if the picture is the wrong format. No different from stealing.

### 1/5 — Delete it

*2021-07-13, version 1.0*

You should Delete the tokens because I can not pay for it and it is just a waste of money

### 1/5 — Not very good

*2021-03-04, version 1.0*

I was making a film and this forced me to buy “tokens” to get more effects!!! Would not recommend!!! 🤮🤮🤮🤢

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2021-02-02, version 1.0*

This app is horrible...i thought you could just record stuff but you have to get those dumb tokens,I know there trying to be cool or something making currency but we don’t need it:[

### 2/5 — I know everyone is saying this but here it is again

*2020-12-22, version 1.0*

Ok so to start I will be honest that the videos are amazing but the fact that you can only make 7 ever without showering this app in money is stupid. If you got rid of tokens and made us spend like 1.50 for an fx and to use that fx forever all while giving us like 1 per catagory to start for free, that would be better but you literally have to pay to use the app for l5 seconds. If you had to buy the app it would be cheaper than using it now, it’s ridiculous

### 2/5 — this app is stingy

*2020-05-19, version 1.0*

i like the effects just fine, but you can only make 7 videos, and you have to pay 100 tokens to use the same effect twice. not to mention that sometimes the effects don't even work and you end up wasting tokens. the app also crashes. it just seems super stingy to charge 50 cents for every 20 second video. it's a great app, and it's super fun and useful to have these effects, but it shouldn't cost you that much money.
