### 1/5 — Scam and just a bad app

*2026-08-09, version 1.6.3*

I redownloaded this app because I thought I had purchased it a while back but apparently I didn’t and now they say I owe them $3.27 but and I can’t download any other apps at all. Yeah, I NEVER intended on resubscribing and I DEFINITELY didn’t agree to resubscribe to anything!!!! I’ll be complaining as soon as I’m done here. Probably won’t do any good or this app wouldn’t even be allowed to scam people in the first place.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t work at all.

*2026-07-23, version 1.6.3*

Got the free trial but it just freezes. Useless.

### 1/5 — This app used to be good

*2026-07-10, version 1.6.3*

Seems as though focus has changed and now this app is too buggy.

### 1/5 — Terrible money trap

*2026-06-26, version 1.6.3*

Doesn’t let you do anything unless you pay don’t waste your time

### 5/5 — From a run and gun videographer

*2026-06-24, version 1.6.3*

In progress, but...nothing else is close, stands out from the crowd. Get it. With the iPhone 11 and 12, you can approximate true film results.  Bokeh is great. The only reason I cannot give this five stars is due to the lack of stabilization. This feature is available on a lot of other apps. Would love to see it implemented in this one as well. You can always go out and buy a stabilizer, but for a run and gun shooting straight off your iPhone, this would be an invaluable addition. Thumbs up to the creator!

### 2/5 — Awesome Video/Photo Editing App for the iPad but..

*2026-05-28, version 1.6.3*

This used to be an awesome app I mean it. It really allowed deep video editing, but then it ran into crashing issues on my iPhone. I did contact the company and they told me to do every step that I had already done to no avail I finally looked to my iPad, which I decided to factory reset and not reinstall all the apps so far I’ve just started using it again today after a hiatus of about 3 1/2 years and it’s been going OK.

### 5/5 — 動画編集にも最高のアプリ

*2026-05-25, version 1.6.3*

もはやこれしか使ってません

### 1/5 — Precios no adecuados a la realidad

*2026-05-12, version 1.6.3*

Han eliminado la suscripción mensual por un pago semanal. No tiene sentido.

### 1/5 — Looks like abandoned

*2026-04-14, version 1.6.3*

The app is clearly abandoned, the last update was 2 years ago and exporting a file hangs it up, it used to work on iOS 16 but on the newer versions it's a mess. Too bad, this used to be my favourite video editing app 😞

### 1/5 — Unlocked

*2026-04-12, version 1.6.3*

pro version
