Very sad ### 3/5 — But my photos? *2021-04-08, version 1.1.2* Wish this app would let me edit and save regular photos without turning them to videos. ### 3/5 — Doesn’t output 4k...... *2020-11-05, version 1.1.2* I went ahead and bought all the iap’s....it has a lot of features and effects, but sadly it doesn’t export 4k video, and it renders slow even at 1080. I could deal with the slow render time but I shoot 4k and edit in 4k, so this won’t get used much tbh. ### 5/5 — Top App !!! *2020-06-04* Excellent tool to add The Kick to videos, intros, extros etc. (Works best for me in combination with IntroMate and MovieDrops...) Huge number of effects, filters and layers even for text elements you can place in the video. Access to video footage from pixabay comes in very handy. High quality video output in Full HD possible... ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-03-11, version 1.0.7* It’s a great app and I would recommend it. It would be nice if the app let you save the filters you make for later use and to add number values to the slides so you know how much of something your using. It’s still a nice app though! ### 5/5 — Very realistic app but... *2019-11-03* Landscape view is not switchable to when the app is used on an iPad... and this is a pain. Otherwise great app ! ### 4/5 — Best glitch app *2019-10-15, version 1.0.7* The best glitch app for video that I’ve found (and i think I’ve tried them all..) Interface isn’t really (some darker colours would be nice) fancy. Filters are high quality, and the range covers just about every conceivable kind of glitch... Nice work. Paid version was a good price (loads of extra filters), with no subscription. Nice! Please can you add the ability to ‘mute’ an effect that has been activated, without clearing it or setting its strength to 0. This would make it much easier to audition different combinations. Thank you! ### 2/5 — 5 stars is a lie. *2019-07-23, version 1.0.7* The effects they let you tweak with are mediocre at best. 95% of all the effects are blocked by the “pro” paywall, which I understand... But I hate that every single app labels as a free app when clearly it’s all a giant paywall. The thing that cracked me up most about this app is if you do not pay and you save an edited image, they slap a giant watermark. Annoying af. ### 5/5 — Eca *2019-05-22* Eca ### 5/5 — Does the job *2019-05-05* i loved using it ### 5/5 — I LUV LUV LUV dis! *2019-04-10, version 1.0.7* Man, I just..IDK....guess I just luv this!!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incompleto *2025-03-27, version 1.1.2* No funciona regresen el dinero ### 1/5 — I can’t play any of my videos *2022-04-22, version 1.1.2* they are F 6 o 3 a 9 n ### 1/5 — Cambiaron el nombre y no encontraba la app *2020-07-30, version 1.1.2* Pague por la app y no la encontraba por ningún lado y busque en los recibos que me llegan cuando hago un pago encontré el nombre antiguo y encontré una liga que te manda a esta nueva aplicación ¿como porque cambiaron el nombre? ### 1/5 — No save but share ? *2020-01-26* Where i suppose to share my privat videos ? 😶 i want to save them back to iphone ! I paid already and there is NO save future ??!!! ### 1/5 — Freezes at launch *2019-04-01, version 1.0.7* Couldn’t use it.. it freezes at launch ### 1/5 — Too sloe *2019-03-17, version 1.0.6* You can not save your videos, unless you want to wait an hour, the editor is GREAT and AMAZING but saving, pfft, nope ### 1/5 — paid but still wont wont let me access pro features *2019-02-06, version 1.0.4* paid 3.99 still couldnt even use the features ripoff ### 2/5 — Great, if only… *2024-09-10, version 1.1.2* 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. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work great for photos *2020-07-08, version 1.1.2* Saving a photo results in a very different image to what is shown in the video location preview.. Also it seems you can’t save just a photo without also saving a video version?? ### 2/5 — Here we go.... *2020-06-29, version 1.1.2* TLDR: The free stuff costs $$ now and there’s nothing new to justify it... Great, here comes the paid features that have been free for YEARS. This app was better when it was called glitch. I’m gonna go ahead and buy it because I do use it. (once a week, literally🙄) but I’m not changing my rating. That’s a wack move and the developers know it. They didn’t even add any new features, nothing is different. It just costs $4 to use that I’ve been using for free for years now. 👎 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple *2024-06-07, version 1.1.2* Best app out of the 5 I’ve tried for glitch effects ### 5/5 — Mrs *2024-03-04, version 1.1.2* Lineberger ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2023-07-06, version 1.1.2* Very good ### 5/5 — Love ‘ya(!) *2022-01-03, version 1.1.2* 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 — tres bonne app *2021-07-11* merci ✌🏻 ### 5/5 — Great App *2021-05-25, version 1.1.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Buenísima app *2021-01-28, version 1.1.2* Me gusta mucho por eso la compré ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-12-31* This app is really hot , perfect for adding fx to video making ### 5/5 — Mind blown! Great to play with or for graphic artists and marketing presentations.... love it! *2020-12-28, version 1.1.2* The easy way to technological art ### 5/5 — Echt cool *2020-10-11* Macht was es soll und das echt gut --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
