And when I make a video and it’s loading, it takes at least five minutes to finish loading and sometimes I doesn’t even load. I was so excited to get this because my siblings and I love making horror movies, but this just keeps crashing. it’s almost impossible please fix. ### 4/5 — Its cool *2026-03-07, version 1.14.0* Its a great app with cool special effects, but it always keeps crashing. DANG IT I HATE BUGS UUGHH ### 2/5 — What happened *2026-03-03, version 1.14.0* The app doesn’t make sounds any more and when I try to make a movie it crashes and restarts me🥺😭 ### 4/5 — Fx *2026-02-28, version 1.14.0* Need to update it has stopped working internally it used to be good ### 2/5 — Good vfx but somehow doesn’t work *2026-01-26, version 1.14.0* This app is absolutely goated but every time I go and actually make something the app shuts off and restarts my phone and I have to do my touchpad again. But I’d recommend checking it out if your iPad/phone works with it 😀👍🏻 ### 4/5 — Please update!!! *2025-12-05, version 1.14.0* This app is very good but please update it ### 3/5 — Issue You Should Fix *2025-08-20, version 1.14.0* Hello, I enjoy using your app, however, there are some issues for people who use newer devices is that sometimes, when after you finish recording the video, it does sometimes freeze and have some issues when you’re about to save your videos to camera roll, so can you fix these problems to newer devices that are on newest iOS updates please? ### 2/5 — Crash fest *2025-06-28, version 1.14.0* The app crashes every video, can’t adjust how far you need it. Most of it has to be done up close. Unable to put them in your own videos. You have to figure out what is the best distance and angle for each. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App closes *2026-08-27, version 1.14.0* Every time I try to record and play back the app closes itself down ### 1/5 — Abandonada *2026-08-19, version 1.14.0* Esta app era de las mejores en su época. Dejaron de actualizar y se Volvió anticuada. Deberían ponerla a funcionar nuevamente y mejorar las funciones con AI. ### 1/5 — Ficou Ruim *2026-01-08* Então o FXGuru trava quando ele gera um efeito especial… Peço que vocês corrigem o Bug do HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017, incluindo Breaking News ### 1/5 — Not working anymore *2025-12-30, version 1.14.0* It keeps on crashing ### 1/5 — Crashing *2025-09-15, version 1.14.0* Bruh it keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-07-25, version 1.14.0* App keeps crashing ### 1/5 — Bruh *2025-07-09, version 1.14.0* This thing has only stuff that you have to buy. The only thing that’s free is really a fallen satellite and can’t even do anything because when you’re done with your video, it really just crashes and will never actually make the video. ### 1/5 — Its not working *2025-06-15, version 1.14.0* It kicks me out of the program before I can watch the video I created ### 1/5 — Nel 2025 non va *2025-04-28, version 1.14.0* Non va ### 1/5 — Never Updated *2025-03-19, version 1.14.0* Never added new effects. They are very limited. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Nice work *2026-05-18, version 1.14.0* The app is great and the effects look really nice only a few look computer generated but the rest are pretty realistic. I do a lot of music production and use this app to add to my videos… never had a problem with it great app ### 5/5 — tragic *2026-05-01, version 1.14.0* no longer work’s ### 5/5 — PLEASE READ THIS. *2025-11-13, version 1.14.0* Okay, so Fx guru is a good editing app, although some of the effects are kind of strange, like the chive, or the bending spoon. The horror is also a little weird, but the truck crash, earthquake, tank, locust swarm, and other vehicle ones are really good effects, although the good effects you have to pay for. But could you guys please do an update! Like add some action, or vehicle, effects. ### 5/5 — So good but keeps glitching and five stars please give me super 82 for free because I'm broke *2025-10-27, version 1.14.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — C dawg *2025-10-01, version 1.14.0* Awesome app ### 5/5 — Nostalgic app *2025-08-22, version 1.14.0* I used to use this a lot back in the days but now that I’m trying this out In the biggest 25 it crashes every time I upload a video. Good app I really like it. ### 5/5 — FxGuru is the best editing app *2025-06-25, version 1.14.0* FxGuru is the best editing app and it’s so cool. It was updated 6 years ago but it’s still a really good app. I like the effects also, but whenever my video is loading my game always crashes and takes me to my Lock Screen. It still makes my video though so I just have to deal with it. Either than that best Fx app ever and when are you adding another update? ### 5/5 — ❤️ *2025-06-20, version 1.14.0* @‘ako ### 5/5 — Misil *2025-04-30, version 1.14.0* Puerto Rico ### 5/5 — FX Guru *2025-04-14, version 1.14.0* It’s the best app for FX effects! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
