### 1/5 — No effects

*2026-06-26, version 1.1.5*

I had a problem getting the effects to download only 2 effects showed up. Just recently updated and nothing loads

### 5/5 — Effects won’t download

*2026-06-18*

Hi, I recently installed the app to go and use this one video effect I liked, and when the app comes up, it shows the controls, and interface, on a black screen though a pop up box shows up and says: “Can’t download Effects now!” Please check your Internet connection! 

When given the option to press retry, it doesn’t! do and the pop up still reappears. I hope that this issue can be fixed in another update, I love this app!

### 5/5 — retail

*2026-03-08, version 1.1.5*

Retail eeeeeee

### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-03-05, version 1.1.5*

Nice effects and lots of them. Both vid and photo. Awesomeness

### 4/5 — Fun for video style modding

*2026-02-10, version 1.0.6*

Does what it says well

### 5/5 — vhs

*2025-12-04, version 1.1.4*

vhs damaged tv

### 1/5 — Conned

*2025-08-14, version 1.1.4*

First, I downloaded the free version, then after a short while I upgraded and paid money for the limitations and watermarks to be removed permanently. Or so it told me… recently I was prompted to update the app which I did. Now it’s covered in adverts and I can’t use a lot of the effects. 

Basically, it’s reset to the free version again and is almost unusable. Bit cheeky really. Very disappointed.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2025-06-20, version 1.1.3*

Love using this app! Great variety of glitch effects

### 2/5 — Great effects, no settings, major issues

*2025-04-19*

This app has amazing effects but has major issues. The save functionality of this app is just about broken and the quality of the rendered video is much lower than that of the live preview. Therefore screen recording the live preview is the best way to to get the most quality out of this app which is very unfortunate because the effects are so good despite not having any knobs or properties to tailor the effects. And there are ui elements over the live preview.

### 5/5 — Love this!

*2025-03-21, version 1.1.3*

This is awesome
