### 1/5 — Piece of crap app

*2020-07-02, version 7.2*

I paid $1.99 for a package in this app. The app doesn’t work like it should. I tried restoring purchases, but it didn’t work. Don’t waste your money with this app.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2020-03-12, version 7.1*

Great app, but little difficult to manage my way around it

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing

*2020-02-01, version 7.1*

upon any command I give the app, say to export a gif out or even try to turn it into video the app crashes. Sharing or any other attempts makes the app crash. They took my money but didn’t solve the issue. Hop on it please. Better review when the app works.

### 1/5 — Options are terrible...

*2019-12-10, version 7.1*

Bought it, not worth it. Editing anything is nearly impossible. Screens are a mess and it doesn’t allow for basic functions.

### 1/5 — The idea of the app is great

*2019-10-21, version 7.1*

The app itself though, not so much. I tried adding just words at first looked great. Saved it. And then words got distorted and blurry. So I purchased the app thinking it would solve the problem. This time I put a picture on a gif. Looked amazing UNTIL I saved it. It still turns blurry and messed up. 

Don’t waste your time downloading it and definitely don’t waste money on this app.

If the app developers could fix this problem I’d give it 5 stars

### 1/5 — Junk

*2019-09-09, version 7.1*

Crashes for no reason. Doesn’t allow anything without paying for it and then doesn’t unlock features after you do pay.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2019-08-22, version 7.1*

I love this app just wish the slideshow could go to an event slower speed

### 1/5 — Cheated

*2019-08-17, version 7.1*

I wanted to convert a GIF into a Video and I bought the option for doing it. It costed me 0,99$ and I still cannot concert the gif into a video. I was cheated. Don’t buy anything.

### 3/5 — Not bad

*2019-04-21, version 7.1*

Still trying to figure out

### 4/5 — Crashes

*2019-02-18, version 7.1*

The app crashes a lot, but that's really my only issue.
