Other than that, it's a very nice app! ### 3/5 — Downsides *2019-12-16* A couple downsides to this app are; frequent crashes, some effects don’t work, and is also advertised differently than how it actually is. ### 5/5 — thank you fam *2019-07-30* We need that undo button but it’s still love ### 4/5 — Outstanding with some Crashing *2019-07-13* To me, Glitch Wizard, is better than any other similar app out there. Though, I'm not even sure if there are any other applications in this brilliant genre that can even compete with the results that Glitch Wizard offers. I would have given this app a rating a five-stars, but, it has been crashing quite a bit recently. It's happened a few times when I was searching for and importing animated gifs from, Giphy. Yet, I've also had the app crash to my home screen just during normal editing operations as well. I'm running Glitch Wizard on an iPhone 8 Plus, using iOS 12.3.2, if that helps the developer at all in determining why the crashes are occurring. If you wouldn't mind please looking into this issue and releasing a update that would curtail the crashes on my iPhone, I'd be very grateful to you, thank you. Still, even with the crashes, I would easily recommend to the fullest extent that others check out Glitch Wizard. It's completely bonkers in my opinion what this app can do to photos and video and I just love the program so much. My sincere thanks and gratitude to the developer for such an amazing application. I fin. it to be one thousand percent worth the asking price too. And, I am excited to see where they take this program next. But, in the mean time I'll be having a glitchy blast with it for sure 🤪. ### 4/5 — Is great for glitched and non glitched gifs and videos but it’s going poof *2019-06-06* After I invest my time! It’s very frustrating ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-05-25* There are a lot of options and they all look so cool. Only wishes to save presets, undo buttons, and higher resolutions. VHS would be a nice touch too. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Wizardry at its finest *2019-05-11, version 2.702* This app is awesome, so nice quality is great. ### 4/5 — Much Better Before *2019-04-29* The random chances you took with the older version produce better results. Now there too many features, too much control. ### 5/5 — Love it but ... *2019-02-16* Great and easy to use app. However, it would be greatly improved if I could save my images in higher quality resolutions. ### 5/5 — Yes *2019-02-04* Yes brøther what an exquisite app ### 3/5 — Upset *2019-01-31, version 2.702* I feel the exact same as the other reviewer. It keeps crashing on me. Please fix, I love this app so much. ### 5/5 — Good app for short videos *2019-01-30, version 2.702* Good app for short videos however will not let you edit longer ones. This would be good considering the app costs money. Short videos should be free - longer paid. ### 5/5 — Y *2019-01-28* I love this. It’s opening my eyes to new possibilities. ### 5/5 — タイトル *2018-11-02, version 2.702* もんくなし つかいこなせれば じゅうぶん ### 4/5 — Excellent, BUT *2018-10-24* Love the effects. Only problem is I get an error when I try to save in photo extension. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Do not pay for this app *2022-01-16* Horrible app does not have more than 12 filters and effects… an absolute joke ### 1/5 — 壊れた *2020-11-20, version 2.702* 強制終了なる ### 1/5 — Audio *2020-07-01, version 2.702* This does not playback any audio when you import you’re music video into the app... so useless for me! ### 1/5 — Вращение импортируемых фото на 90 градусов. *2018-03-08, version 2.702* Точно не могу сказать с какого момента (после какого обновления) появился баг- запускаю приложение, открываю фотку. Посредством tools>import загружаю другое фото для следующего кадра и это фото загружается повернутым. Телефон конечно старичек (4s), но раньше вполне успешно монтировал нужные мне гифки/видео. ### 1/5 — Won't open. *2017-02-24, version 2.600* Crashes directly after opening the app. Can't use it. ### 1/5 — これは *2016-08-16, version 2.600* あまりいみがないかなぁと。 説明見てなかったのがわるいのですがGIFにしか対応していないのは辛いです せっかく加工しても早すぎて見れません ### 1/5 — Constant crashing *2016-04-28, version 2.600* DO NOT GET THIS APP, it does nothing but crashes and when you email the creators to let them know they get an attitude and STILL have fixed NOTHING. DO NOT GET ### 1/5 — Шлак *2016-04-22, version 2.600* Не качайте! Бесполезное и тупое приложение! ### 2/5 — erro *2020-11-29* desde ontem está tendo erro quando vou entrar no app, clico pra abrir e nem abre o aplicativo. ### 2/5 — cool!.. *2016-11-23, version 2.600* i thought this was for video... not just gif and stills. i am a little disappointed in that. maybe make an update please? :) cool fx nontheless! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Just wonderful *2026-06-26* So many unique settings . Forever in love with this app ### 5/5 — My boy *2025-03-06* Been using this bad boy for like, 10 years of spicing up my projects. Thank Mr Wizard ### 5/5 — PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE GLITCH WIZARD!!!! *2023-02-18* I’ve had this app for 5 years now and I think there was one update a few years ago, but don’t quote me on that. I also sadly saw the website domain is now up for sale. :( I absolutely love this app and love all of the different things I can do with it. Don’t be afraid to experiment with layering the filters on top of each other and it’s nice because once you save it, you can actually go back to the editing part and add more filters and make the project even more bizarre. Be careful though, because you can’t undo one filter after you add it… which would be a nice addition if the creator actually did anything to the app anymore. I think he must have moved on or something to different projects? I just really wish they would update it with some new filters and/or new features…. Nothing else really comes close to this app for me, but its limits are very frustrating and the owner needs to add some new features. PLEASE UPDATE THIS APP!!!!! ### 5/5 — UPDATE YOUR DAMNED APP PLEASE! *2022-12-18, version 2.702* I’ve had this app for 5 years now and haven’t seen an update since I downloaded it. I absolutely love this app and love all of the different things I can do with it. I just really wish they would update it with some new filters and/or new features…. Nothing else really comes close to this app for me, but it’s limits are very frustrating and the owner needs to add some new features. ### 5/5 — Update please!!!! *2022-09-09, version 2.702* Very nice app. Update!!! ### 5/5 — Best glitch app by far *2021-07-02* So any great ways to control and animate glitches and colors. Shame it feels like this app as abandoned 3 years go ### 5/5 — Melanie’s review *2021-04-18* I wish this app were available as a SaaS with ability to upload over a thousand images, basically a more robust version... ### 5/5 — Pokras Lampas *2021-02-22, version 2.702* Amazing app, highly recommended ### 5/5 — La mejor *2020-05-26, version 2.702* Durante años la mejor aplicación glitch ### 5/5 — My favorite photo editor for iOS *2019-11-18* Tons of customization and power.
