Classic Bait ‘n’ Switch

The app is presented as a free app, but there is actually nothing that you can do for free in the app. Anything at all useful requires a subscription — a very hefty subscription!

Do not waste your money

Absolutely ridiculous app, everything you pay for you can literally do in other apps completely free.

Instant reel maker

The instant reel maker barely works constantly crashing and is mainly the reason I purchased the app

Useless

Can’t do anything unless you agree to free three-day trial followed by one-year subscription. Which I did. But then the app crashed or froze anytime I tried to do literally anything. Don’t bother.
