### 2/5 — Sehr ausbaufähig

*2026-08-14*

Die App hält sich nur begrenzt an Anweisungen. Vor allem bei der Länge. Sie schneidet wie sie möchte. Wenn ich Ausgangsmaterial von fünf Minuten hochlade und ein drei Minuten Best of möchte, liefert sie nur eine Minute oder so. Das ist schon nervig. Egal wie gut oder ausführlich meine Prompts sind.

**Developer response:** Danke für dein Feedback. Wenn du Elva nach einem „Best-of“ fragst, sucht der Agent gezielt nach starken Emotionen, besonderen Momenten und Szenen, die aus dem restlichen Material herausstechen. Ähnlich wie bei den Highlights eines Fußballspiels: Aus einem ganzen Match werden am Ende oft nur wenige Minuten ausgewählt.

Deshalb ist es bei fünf Minuten Ausgangsmaterial meist nicht realistisch, daraus drei Minuten echtes „Best-of“ zu erstellen. Wenn dir bestimmte Szenen wichtig sind, kannst du sie im Prompt gezielt nennen und Elva anweisen, sie beizubehalten. Eine feste Länge und gleichzeitig eine sehr strenge Auswahl der besten Momente können sich allerdings widersprechen.

Wenn du möchtest, schreib uns gerne an [support@elvalabs.ai](mailto:support@elvalabs.ai). Wir helfen dir dabei, die passenden Prompts für deinen konkreten Anwendungsfall zu formulieren.

### 4/5 — 予想外に良い

*2026-08-09*

とりあえず一本作ってもらいました。想像以上に良かった。よくある変な動画編集AIではなく、真面目に編集してくれるAIアプリです。細かいところはまだみてませんが、誠意のあるアプリだと感じました。

**Developer response:** Elvaをお試しいただき、素敵なフィードバックをありがとうございます。最初の動画が期待以上の仕上がりだったとのことで、とても嬉しいです。

一つひとつの編集が自然で、きちんと意図を感じられるものになるよう大切に作っているので、そう感じていただけたことが本当に励みになります。

これからElvaを使っていく中で、気づいたことやご意見があれば、ぜひお聞かせください！

### 1/5 — Awful!!!

*2026-08-02*

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-02*

I paid for this excited by the ad and each time when selecting to add videos and photos, it only asks you to subscribe for more vs actually starting a project

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for sharing your feedback. This is a bug. Sometimes if there is a connection problem the purchase can not get processed properly. Please tap on the "Restore" button on the bottom of the paywall & your subscription will get reactivated manually.

### 1/5 — Poor Editing features.

*2026-08-01*

Does capture the entire photo and doesn't give you an option to do so.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for sharing your feedback. The photo editing is not yet available in Elva. The team is working hard on adding the feature & we plan to have it available soo. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us improve Elva for you and everyone else creating videos with it.

### 1/5 — Too slow

*2026-08-01*

To slow to render and not enough functionality

### 1/5 — STOP DOWNLOADING THIS APP

*2026-07-28*

Please don't download this app, besides, it is expensive, and it doesn't do what it says it does would. Will not allow you to upload more than 2 pictures and will not follow the request of how you want the video done. The only thing it will do is will add music to your pictures and that's something you can do it yourself without paying money.

**Developer response:** We’re sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for sharing your feedback. This definitely sounds like a bug, and we’d really like to investigate it properly.

### 1/5 — Vey bad

*2026-07-27*

It froze to much. You have to keeping download the videos or pics several times due to the malfunction and frozen data. I thought it was my cell phone but not. It happened with my home wifi and neighbor WiFi too. So , it’s the app is not working appropriately. You have to wait 30-40 mins for something can be done in 1-2mins.

**Developer response:** Thank you for reporting this, and we’re sorry about the freezes and long processing times. Your feedback helped us identify the issue, and our team is already working on a fix. It will be included in the next app release. We'll let you know when the fix is available. Thank you for choosing Elva & helping us to make the product better!

### 1/5 — Direkt wieder deinstalliert

*2026-07-25*

Auf Instagram immer wieder gesehen, gedacht: ok - seh ich mir an.
Runtergeladen.
Ergebnis: keinerlei Möglichkeit es zu probieren.
Weder Gratisgenerierungen, noch mit Wasserzeichen oder gar 1 Testtag.
Einfach gar nichts. 89 Euro, wenn du’s wegklickst die Hälfte und du hast keine Idee, ob das Tool hält, was es verspricht.
-> direkt gelöscht.
5 Minuten Lebenszeit verplempert.

**Developer response:** Danke, dass du dein Feedback mit uns geteilt hast. Aktuell bieten wir keine kostenlosen Generierungen oder eine Testphase an, und wir verstehen, dass dieses Modell nicht für alle passt. In Zukunft planen wir jedoch, mehr Funktionen kostenlos verfügbar zu machen. Schade, dass die App dieses Mal nicht das Richtige für dich war.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2026-07-20*

Wouldn’t recommend, it took me hours to make a video. It would not use all 50 images as selected.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we’re sorry the user experience wasn't perfect for you. Photo issue sounds like a bug and we’ll investigate is ASAP.

### 2/5 — First AI app I try out

*2026-07-15*

Not sure how new this app is but when I ask for a specific type of music and it doesn’t do it, then when I add the 50 pics that’s it’s capable of it keeps giving me an error message and won’t create the story. I’ll give it a bit more time otherwise I’m canceling the prescription.

**Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share this, and we’re sorry the music options didn’t meet your needs. We’re working on expanding the music library in 2-3 weeks.

### 1/5 — Beware!

*2026-07-15*

I hope someone reads this before they make the mistake and purchase this app like I had did..

### 1/5 — Terrible app. Not worth the time

*2026-08-07*

First off the company should offer a free trial of even just one day so you can play with it to see if you’ll even like it next once you got suckered into a $25 app for one month purchase you soon find out that the AI doesn’t even work properly. Spending two hours with the AI that does nothing is very frustrating and a complete waste of my time. This app needs massive improvement to have any value at all.

### 1/5 — Not very effective

*2026-08-05*

Subscription Cancellation Request - Hello,

I would like to request the cancellation of my subscription, effective immediately.

The app has not been able to perform the edits I need—specifically, I’ve been unable to get it to show the whole image rather than a zoomed-in/cropped version. Since this core functionality isn’t working for my use case, I no longer wish to continue the subscription.

Please confirm once the cancellation has been processed and I am refunded,and let me know if any further steps are needed on my end.

Thank you,

Richard Ferdinand
