I would recommend getting adobe after effects instead it’s better and cheaper ### 3/5 — Can it be a one time payment *2026-07-25, version 7.6.1* I love this app I use it for my movies all the time but, I always waste my time animating blood and laser effects on my computer, and I really want to use the blood and laser’s on this app but I don’t want to pay for the monthly subscription, so please make a one time payment, please 🙏 ### 3/5 — Bad *2026-07-13, version 7.6.1* Disappointed because you have to pay for all the effects and my mum won’t let me so I’m sad ### 2/5 — Fix it *2026-05-03, version 7.6.1* Files keep being not being able to load up even the ones that were created an hour ago some were a week old went I couldn’t get access to them fix this issue ### 3/5 — Error purchase failed *2026-04-04, version 7.6.1* Whenever I try to make a in app purchase it says error purchase failed please fix ### 1/5 — Mittelmäßig,weil: *2026-03-03* Man kann kein zusätzliches Fx packet kaufen wie zb. blood fx Sonst aber gut ### 4/5 — Why can’t I buy extra FX? *2026-03-02, version 7.6.1* It’s an awesome app but it doesn’t let me buy any bonus FX and the amount of in app purchases is a bit crazy, but overall a good app if you need muzzle flares. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-02-25, version 7.6.1* Bad ### 4/5 — Good *2026-02-15, version 7.6.1* It is good really fun make a lot of stop motions with. it but I can’t figure out how do. Buy a single Fx if you can make it easier. To buy a single Fx that would be great rally recommend ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-10, version 7.6.1* I can’t build the movie to export videos, the app has no sound, and it’s still not compatible with HDR or 4K videos. ### 4/5 — Good for a few months but… *2026-02-03, version 7.6.1* I’ve used it for months but it’s started glitching a lot lately I can’t buy anything anymore ### 3/5 — 1 problem *2026-01-26, version 7.6.1* Please update the app for the newer phone models like iPhone XS and above because it says “purchase error” when I try to get any fx. ### 1/5 — Please Remove Flash *2026-01-21, version 7.6.1* This app was so great and easy and fast when making videos. But now there is a flash that covers the whole screen when literally any effect is placed. Why? It ruins the whole video. Can you please remove this. Please ### 2/5 — Purchase failed *2026-01-12, version 7.6.1* Why is there the option to buy more fx if it doesn’t actually let you purchase the fx? This would be a really useful app for my stop motions if it did what it was saying you could do. ### 1/5 — Where are the custom effects? *2026-01-06, version 7.6.1* I used to use this app and when there were custom effects but one day they just got rid of them??!! I literally needed them all the time when I used special effects for my videos. Please add them back ASAP. This app used to be great, but now I can’t do any unique effects, just basic gun effects. Ever since the removal of custom effects & adding a subscription, it’s been unusable. Please fix this ### 1/5 — No sound *2025-12-30, version 7.6.1* I have wanted to get back into film making for a while and when I try to use the fx their is so sounds at all even when getting the sounds and effects from the store itself none of them work and the only way I can hear the sounds is when I press play on the video so if someone can help me with this it would be great but I can still make films but it will take a lot longer ### 1/5 — Bad rating due to bugs. *2025-12-26, version 7.6.1* Frequent issues. App used to be so much more stable before that one big update and it’s been struggling ever since. ### 3/5 — Ok *2025-12-10, version 7.6.1* when you try to buy the accessories, it says oops game purchases disabled ### 1/5 — Fix this *2025-11-28, version 7.6.1* They don’t let me buy the other it just says purchase failed ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Light effect ruined all my movies *2026-08-25, version 7.6.1* This was a great app that I used to use for all of my old projects as a kid. I recently went back to try and edit one that I had never got around to back then but whenever I add an effect like a gunshot or even blood there is an annoying bright light placed over the whole screen that can’t be removed and makes it impossible to even see the effect I tried to add. Wish this app would still work as it was really something special once ### 1/5 — FIX THIS APP *2026-07-28, version 7.6.1* first off the videos don’t export half the time and I have to start over. Second off the apps sound doesn’t work. Third of all when a video is HDR when you add an effect the whole screen just flashes. How is it not compatible with hdr videos they’ve been a thing for years now. ### 1/5 — お金返して欲しい *2026-07-19* 血飛沫のエフェクトを購入したが、血飛沫と共に不要なフラッシュが入り、全く使い物にならない。 逆にフラッシュが必要な血飛沫をいつ使うことがあるのか聞きたい。 ### 1/5 — PLEASE MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH HDR 4K VIDEOS *2026-06-22, version 7.6.1* How is it still not compatible with hdr or 4K videos? It’s been years since it’s been added to iPhones and somehow this app can’t edit them! Also the app has no audio. ### 1/5 — PLEASE MAKE IT COMPATIBLE WITH HDR 4K VIDEOS *2026-06-14, version 7.6.1* How is it still not compatible with hdr or 4K videos? It’s been years since it’s been added to iPhones and somehow this app can’t edit them! ### 1/5 — Not working after a couple movies *2026-05-20, version 7.6.1* I try to download a movie and it won’t let me ### 1/5 — Its cool but *2026-05-01, version 7.6.1* Whats the point of making such a cool app if its glitchy all the time. When i place smoke somewhere theres an annoying white flash sometimes but not all times? Ive paid over 90 $ in items here. Not too pleased really ### 1/5 — Please let us remove the flash effect *2026-04-28, version 7.6.1* This app used to be amazing but they added a flashing effect that you can’t remove and it genuinely ruins everything. Please give us the option to turn it off ### 1/5 — Does not work *2026-03-13, version 7.6.1* App account says suspended and website don’t work and when you try and use the shop it just keeps failing with an error ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-03-04, version 7.6.1* Have to pay $10/month use to be $15 to own the greed is crazy ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app for homemade movies *2026-02-10, version 7.6.1* This app is perfect for making homemade movies! Pros is that you can use any effect for your video. The downside is that most effects that you have to pay from the in game purchases. ### 5/5 — Weird bug no sound *2025-08-15, version 7.6.1* It’s good but for someone reason there is no sound when I put a flash mussle unless I need to put sound but it won’t make any sound like before. ### 5/5 — Really Good, And it's Easy too! *2025-08-01, version 7.6.1* You do have to buy the laser one, but if you are making a movie with a phone, it is simple, easy, and the results are great. ### 5/5 — This app is good *2025-03-30, version 7.6* My sister and I always use this app to add gun effects to our videos or movies. I just wish they would update it and allow for 4k. Other than that I stick to this for the nostalgia of it and it is still a good app today. Perfect if you’re going to post to social media. ### 5/5 — Awesome app and worth the money if you have an iPad. Do not buy unless you have an iPad. *2025-03-29, version 7.6* Newest Review: I had an older review where I gave this a two out of five stars. The problem I had was the app wasn’t loading any of my videos into the app. My friend told me that it probably only worked on an iPad. Luckily, I had an iPad, or else it would have been a waste of money. This app is totally worth it if you have an iPad handy! Even if there are a ton of add-ons that should probably be included with buying the app. If you are getting this app, warning, this app only works on the iPad. It does not work on any other device. Really good app and look forward to using it more! 5 out of 5! Original Review: From what I have seen from my friend’s phone, this app is pretty darn good. I decided I needed this for my stop motion career. Minus how you have to buy the app, only to have to buy add-ons, it’s great. But there is one issue so far. Loading. Has taken way too long. If that gets fixed I’ll be set. Also, a little side note to the developers. If you want to make this app better, make it free and keep the add-ons same price. Also, respond and look at feedback more frequently. Other than that, a pretty darn good app so far! Four out Five stars. ### 5/5 — Please fix the video loading!!! Won’t let me load at all!!!

Please respond!!!!!!!!!! ### 5/5 — Very good effects but movie won’t upload *2024-12-03, version 7.6* Idk why ### 5/5 — 不具合がどうとか言ってる人がいますが *2024-06-25* ここ3年間愛用しています。 不具合なども発生してないです ### 5/5 — You’re back! *2024-02-15, version 7.5.1* I’ve waited years for this app to work like it used to and I’m so happy to have it back! So far it runs very smooth with no glitches. I’ll be buying the new fx soon too.
