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. ### 4/5 — Great effects, no settings *2025-03-14* This app has some great looking effects, however the level of effect is not manageable by settings. Also, if it matters, the app stays in portrait orientation at all times so if you are screen sharing the visual it will only show in portrait. Really good effects though. ### 3/5 — Low quality when exported *2025-02-16, version 1.1.3* The app is cool but the quality becomes terrible when the video/photo is exported ### 4/5 — Nice *2024-11-13, version 1.1.3* Nice effects ### 2/5 — Images *2024-10-14, version 1.1.3* Crashes on image import now on ios18 ### 2/5 — Can’t import photos *2024-07-07, version 1.1.3* Whenever I try to add a photo from my album the app just close. Also the effect 1980’s VHS instead of text is just 3 white squares I wish they fixed this ### 4/5 — This app brings what it says. *2024-07-01, version 1.1.3* Are you looking for vhs? Yes. This app brings it. As far as other things? No. The quality is amazing for the price and is very simple/easy to use. I only wish I could edit the filter a bit by myself which it doesn’t give you the option to do so. Nonetheless. This app brings what it says. ### 2/5 — Broken *2023-11-16* Imported videos use the wrong orientation so they’re very warped. Didn’t notice this until after I bought it, kinda bummed out **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, We'll update the App and release new version soon, Best Regards. ### 3/5 — Almost perfect *2023-10-16, version 1.1.2* The app has and does everything I want it to, except the bugs makes it so that some files can’t be saved or edited properly. I paid to unlock all the features, and yet it’s a hit or miss with certain files. ### 3/5 — Video time is limited. It should be at least 90 seconds. *2023-07-25, version 1.1.2* You can’t even choose a video that is the link of an Instagram reel. Why? ### 5/5 — Stellar *2023-07-03, version 1.1.2* Like putting whipped cream on top of a sundae. Glitch allows you to up your project from ok to A+. Great ready to hear, “how did you do that?” cuz you are going to get asked that constantly. I love Glitch! A top notch tool in my toolbox. ### 4/5 — Question *2023-05-28, version 1.1.2* How do you unselect ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-04-03, version 1.1.2* Does exerting I wanted in an app like this. ### 5/5 — Filters-Toon *2023-03-30, version 1.1.2* Love this app highly recommend ### 5/5 — Enjoying Glitch *2023-02-22, version 1.1.2* Just started using Glitch,really enjoying the different effects- thanks! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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. ### 1/5 — Downloads in HD only *2023-01-06, version 1.1.2* Makes my videos literally glitch and lowers the reso from 4k to 720p ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-12-21, version 1.1.2* No matter what I upload and whatever filter I use it cuts the image in half and cants it sideways. ### 1/5 — Ruined it *2022-10-28, version 1.1.2* Was good at first now they completely RUINED IT! ### 1/5 — Was great. Now deleted *2022-10-26, version 1.1.2* Was a great app. Could remove the watermark by watching an ad now you have to purchase to remove. Also there are certain ones only available with premium that used to be free. Just like the other glitch apps I had before. Too bad I really loved it too 😢👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Good app but ruined by ads *2022-09-25, version 1.1.1* Ruined by ads ### 1/5 — Shuts down *2022-09-20, version 1.1.1* Doesn't let you choose how you want your photo to face ### 1/5 — Unusable *2022-09-09, version 1.1.1* The app is stuck in a mode where it will overlay a black and white stretched effect by default. When you select any other effect, it will just combine the two, so you get this useless amalgamation of effects that look terrible. I deleted the app, but it still is like this after redownloading. It was glitchy before, but it would fix itself after restarting before ### 1/5 — Does not remove Watermark, even after you watch the ad. *2022-07-08, version 1.1.1* Gives you an option to remove watermark if you watch the ad but this is not true. It Forces you to watch the ad & does not remove it. In another review from 5+ months ago they said they will fix the bug & it is still not fixed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Effects won’t download *2026-06-18, version 1.1.5* 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.
