Rotates too much and messes too much stuff up in landscape mode

When I am recording something(usually for orchestra) in landscape mode, if I want to delete a bad recording, I have to click on the delete button, then wait for it to try to bait me into clicking where it should be in landscape mode, only for it to go into portrait mode and turn everything sideways!!!
Additionally, when I am attempting to make a text cover image in landscape mode, the text squishes together and there are no ways to fix it, other than to switch into portrait mode.
As one can likely tell, this is immensely infuriating, and I frequently feel an immense amount of wrath prepare to emerge while recording things on this app. Please fix this. Also, please add in the countdown timer before starting a video that is available on the web version. It would save me some time by preventing me from having to delete around 1 second of footage of when I was preparing.

Not bad but i get insanely frustrated

I have to upload a video for a school project. The uploading process takes way too long and whenever my laptop closes or goes to sleep by itself the upload will say it's taking too long and I need to re-upload it and if the video has 1080p resolution with something like 60fps and high quality, it takes an insanely long amount of time to upload. My video was like that, but my video wouldn't upload at all it would just keep saying it took too long and you need to retry.
this is super frustrating to me because I'm trying to get the project in on time and the fact that this app takes this long to upload a four minute video is insane. Apps like TikTok or Snapchat do not take that long for videos to upload even if it's a 10 minute video like on TikTok. I I've uploaded 10 minute videos before and they did not take more than five minutes to upload that usually took 2 to 3 minutes but I've been waiting over seven minutes from a video to upload. I hope this is just a glitch or something wrong with the servers, but please fix it because I'm very frustrated with this.

Maybe I like filp grid maybe not it’s really bad.

Flip grid is really good app with emojis and any kind of stuff. I don’t like flip grid at all, because it has bugs and also needs to be re-fixed. The backgrounds are laggy they show the stuff behind you. I think that may has to be un-laggy, just in case nothing shows but just the background, I don’t like the cameras either, it chooses the time for you and I would like it if it had a minute timer chooser, like 10 minutes or 5 or 4 and hours or seconds, I also hate the vidoes, the videos that my class makes my friends there laggy the vidoes are super laggy, it goes like in sounds, and the items you like get to move and size won’t WORK AT ALL , when you try to size it doesn’t work that you have to use all your pressure in. The movement for the emoji doesn’t work either. I doesn’t have anything special about it either, LOL Sorry that you have to read this but I love your creativity but has to fixed,

Started out great and ended awful but not so bad

Hi I am Caylee and I am 7 in a half i really loved flipgrid❤️ it is so cool me and my step sister Raelynn made videos a couple times I had to delete flip grid because sometimes I had to refresh my iPad and it would sometimes take me right out so me and Raelynn were making a Barbie video a Elsa and Anna from frozen video and a baby video the next day I got hacked by someone when I had to delete it again and I was putting in my password and it said my password was changed 25 hours ago I am not sure if I got hacked but I think I did my grandmother told me that I had to be careful what I’m posting when I told her I got hacked on flip grid and my grandmother also told me to delete it

Not great, but not bad… Here’s why

; This was made an auto correct, So flip grid is spelled as in two words ;

OK, to be honest, flip grid is not that bad. There’s nothing really special about it so that’s why I’m writing this comment, just to tell you that there’s nothing special. There are some major and minor bug fixes but it’s not that bad, I just don’t like how the creator can like control everything, I understand they do that so a person doesn’t destruct everything, but if you need to, just delete them and undo what they did!!! Again, there are minor and major bug fixes which really annoys me. It’s not SUPER DUPER bad, but you can get extremely annoying at times. Sometimes, I just rage and exit the app. I like how you can make thumbnails and items like that when you post videos and you can name it and make a description! But, I really wish that The videos don’t have to be under a certain amount of time… it is also really hard to edit your video so please work on that flip grid! Overall, it’s an OK app, thank you so much for reading this if you’ve gotten all the way down here because I wrote so much, LOL! Have a great day.
