### 1/5 — Incompleto

*2025-03-27, version 1.1.2*

No funciona regresen el dinero

### 2/5 — Great, if only…

*2024-09-10*

It has one terrible flaw. You can’t open any of your photo albums. There is just one select screen, listing ALL your videos/photos. You have to scroll through all your content. You can’t choose any photo albums. No other app has such a terrible, useless selector.

### 5/5 — Simple

I wanted to buy the full version, but it turned out you don't have a project export in 4K. Very sad

### 5/5 — Beautiful

*2023-07-06*

### 5/5 — Love ‘ya(!)

*2022-01-03*

There isn’t much I would add to this app other than key frame feature for tuning the effects.

Good job Ralph Hubner. Thank you for putting this together. The UI is easy to understand and the effects are making sens.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2021-05-25*

I love that it allows me to choose the quality/size on export. I would like to see an export as gif option in the future. Really great quality effects at a good price. Definitely recommended!
