Literally, you don’t have to pay for it or anything like it’s really helped me with my editing skills and I have made so many good movies. It’s just a great app.💗 ### 2/5 — Unnostalgic Trailers? *2026-08-22, version 3.0.2* I liked the old trailers ever since I started on iMovie, but it doesn’t look the same anymore. The trailer name didn’t come in anymore, it’s now ‘Storyboards’ and the genres don’t feel the same anymore… I wanted those old trailers back something like Adrenaline, Indie, Narrative, Swashbuckler, etc. It might not feel like good ol’ iMovie but I still like it 😉 ### 5/5 — Emil's 🎂 Tribute *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* The only thing that I'm having trouble with is, I tried to do a movie and it had music that went over the words because I was uploading videos to create a movie and then I couldn't use pictures when I did just a plain movie it had no music sound, but if I put pictures in it, there was no sound so it's really difficult to combine movies and videos ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* This is a great app to make cute funny little movies with your friends 5 stars 😜 ### 5/5 — I Always Use This But… *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* So I make green-screen videos with my friends, and I use iMovie for a lot of them. But, somethings are so fidgety, and also I want to make really good movies. And more complex stuff. This is good for starters, and it is one of those apps that I like and actually has GREEN-SCREEN MODE. But I need something like a mode or some way to get a more complex version of iMovie. And also moving cut audios are so painful in my opinion. And we need more backgrounds. I gave this 5 Stars because I used iMovie loads of times! I recommend using this for users new to editing. I am a child sending an opinion. And also it’s for young children, no rude content!!! Actually something I can proudly say! 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* Yvener ### 5/5 — Best edit app ever *2026-08-21, version 3.0.5* Omg I got 1k likes cause of this thank you and apple made this right,well good job I love this app no AI which I love overall thank you ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2026-08-21, version 3.0.5* I found this app very useful I like to make movies with my friends and we have an amazing time. Also this app makes it so fun to be able to watch them later like you could make your own series. I love iMovie so much!!!!🩷 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Very Limited Features *2026-08-24, version 3.0.5* Really basic editing tools aren’t available in the app! ### 1/5 — Find a better app *2026-08-24, version 3.0.5* This app is terrible. Find a better one. It isn’t user friendly. It is literally trash. ### 1/5 — Phone Freeze On Export On IMovie And When I’m Not Using IMovie *2026-08-23, version 3.0.5* I Do A Lot Of Video Editing And For The Past 2 Years Sometimes My Videos Get Frozen When I Tried To Trim It When I’m Not On IMovie And Now It’s Starting To Frozen On All The Videos I Tried To Export Apple Could You Fix You Video Export On IMovie And On Photos ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* Definitely Stealing my photos and putting them on the dark web, now it even "needs" full access for you to even open your projects which is a bunch of bull****. Get CapCut instead, trust me. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-22, version 3.0.5* Ruined my movie ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on any of my ape devices *2026-08-21, version 3.0.5* Needed to boost audio on a video. Tried to upload project and it will not let me choose anything on my devices. I have four ipads and phones, none work with this. Waste of time. ### 1/5 — If I could give it a zero I would *2026-08-20, version 3.0.5* Horrible, deleted half of my work ### 1/5 — Rubbish and pathetic *2026-08-20, version 3.0.5* Avoid this, it's too much hard work ### 1/5 — Gimme the old version back *2026-08-19, version 3.0.5* GIMME THE OLD VERSION BACK THIS IS THE WORST VERSION EVER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🈚️ ### 1/5 — Incredibly Buggy App. Unusable. *2026-08-18, version 3.0.5* Terrible app. Hangs forever when trying to do anything even on Gigabit internet. Absolutely insane how terrible this app is. If screen goes to sleep while using it, entire project is scrapped and has to be redone.
