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. ### 3/5 — No sound *2019-03-27, version 1.0* There is no sound and most of the effects are bad. ### 1/5 — Those stupid tokens!!! Make me want to say 🤬🤬🤬 *2018-12-27, version 1.0* I loooovvvvvveeeee the app but haaaaaaaaaaaattttttteeeeee TOKENZ I hated them because I had to buy them again or reinstall the app please fix that you can make adds to get money 💰 but don’t take it out of our pockets. Apparently the app saves so I can’t reinstall it 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 ### 1/5 — AWFUL really Bad *2018-11-11, version 1.0* What a waste of money!!!! So angry it doesn’t reflect what it advertises 😡😡😡 you can’t properly edit it to fit into anything it’s a complete joke and waste of money AVOID ### 1/5 — Highly disappointed *2018-09-09, version 1.0* I am so mad.

I am now deleting this app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 🤬 ### 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:[ ### 1/5 — Why tokens? *2020-04-30, version 1.0* I really want to play with it but the tokens ruin it and I dont like it please remove the token currency ### 1/5 — No tokens left *2019-12-26, version 1.0* I like the App little bit but when you use tokens you cannot do anymore even if you restart the app ### 1/5 — Bad app *2019-11-20, version 1.0* Before i was practicing making movies with this app included but now i ran out of tokens im not paying lm not allowed to so maybe don’t waste your time they won’t let you watch ads for tokens ### 1/5 — Seriously!? What Just Happened!? *2019-05-27, version 1.0* I liked the app but how do you even import a video!? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Major Update *2020-04-24, version 1.0* The Rocket Luncher video is not working The Mech Attack dose not have a target HUD please Fix This ### 5/5 — I love it! *2019-09-21, version 1.0* Love it! ### 5/5 — New animals *2018-08-23, version 1.0* Lion Tiger Monkey Bear Elehant Seal Wahle Jellyfish Car Labster Sea lion Sea horse Blue horizons Dog Aillator Cat Dog ### 4/5 — Nice *2019-03-03, version 1.0* I love the app very much very fun but I hate when you run out of tokens you have to pay please make it free ### 4/5 — Awesome but *2019-01-05, version 1.0* I like all of it but I HATE the tokens can you please remove them so we can make effects without having to pay please make a update ### 4/5 — Great *2018-12-31* This app is awesome and I was able to make some cool videos but running out of tokens is annoying because you have to delete and re-download it if you don’t have the money. Overall it’s actually a really great app and it’s definitely worth your time! ### 4/5 — Awesome app, but it needs a glitchfix. *2018-07-09, version 1.0* Pros: -You can use tokens to buy awesome animations. -The animations are good for movies and stuff... -Good for pretend FPS Games! -Will give Cute Things Exploding some TRUELY SAVAGE IDEAS!!! Cons: -You pay iTunes credit for tokens. -The Animations And Sounds are a little off. -You use tokens to buy Animations, and it forgets you even bought it. Fixing cons = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ BONUS: 🔥 👿 👕 👖 Just for the heck of it. ### 4/5 — Nice edition to the Visual FX apps collections. *2017-11-12, version 1.0* The effects are pretty good. But I have one thing I wanna request, could you remove the watermark/symbol that shows up at the bottom right of your saved videos whenever you save them into Camera Roll please? Also could you insert an explanation on the ‘tokens’ you need to buy? As I’m puzzled on it’s presents. ### 4/5 — I love this *2017-09-03, version 1.0* The only problem is that it crashes a lot when I try to insert my own video it crashes so please fix this because I really love this app so please make the next update better and also please add more awesome effects thanks ### 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
