Für deutlich weniger im Monat oder ne kleine einmalige Gebühr wäre es in Ordnung aber 8€ sind einfach zu viel, dafür dass paar Bilder aneinandergereiht werden. ### 3/5 — App is cool but keeps glitching *2025-08-25, version 1.21* everytime i go to make a collage with my pics , the app freezes and shuts down. not worth the price. ### 3/5 — Post Processing Problem *2025-07-11, version 1.21* After exporting there's a error. Pictures are not placed frame by frame. It's overlapping and skipping. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2025-06-30, version 1.21* Ten bucks a month is wild. I get they’re trynna make money but that’s a lot especially in these economy. I made a compiled a couple videos but the sound doesn’t work on them. The idea is nice and the video is cute but even exporting my own sound it doesn’t work ### 3/5 — Lined box *2025-03-26, version 1.21* Not sure why but every single video comes with this white outlined box that pops up and its distracting and annoying to say the least ### 3/5 — Photo size *2025-02-26, version 1.21* I like the app and the editing makes things easy, but it cuts off some of my pictures. I wish I could add whatever picture i want without it cutting the ends off to fit the screen. ### 2/5 — Subscription is crazy *2025-02-22, version 1.21* Cool enough app. Shoulda runs ads instead of $4/week subscription which is just crazy. Just use iMovie yall ### 2/5 — Great potential, awful subscription pricing *2025-02-19, version 1.21* Saw the app on socials after some dude gives a disposable film camera to travelers. A cool quick hit video is made after the film is developed. This app emulates that end result with your photos. There are a handful of templates and music to sort through and the end product really is pretty cool. But a flat monthly’s fee of $10/mo is just ridiculous. It’s a barrier for most casual users (target demo) and no way I’d pay for it. Drop to like $1.99/mo or $20 lifetime and that’s more appealing. ### 1/5 — Wrong Monetize *2025-02-09, version 1.21* Dear developer, don't be greedy. Purchase must be lifetime not monthly. Except this, app is very awsome. ### 1/5 — Pay pay and pay *2025-02-02, version 1.21* You can’t even download your first video 💀 ### 1/5 — Cannot download videos *2025-01-25, version 1.21* Can not download videos to iPhone also app crashes a lot while reviewing edits ### 1/5 — Add more templates or reduce the price! *2025-01-17, version 1.21* I like the app! But there's only a few templates, I would love to see more templates. This price with only 5-6 templates doesn't make sense. Please add more templates or reduce the price!! ### 1/5 — Don’t Subscribe🥲 *2025-01-12, version 1.21* Don’t recommend subscribing… The are bugs with the export feature, resulting in the exported video different from preview. Customer service is not available as they are not responsive🥲🥲🥲 It’s a total waste of money and time😭 ### 3/5 — Not worth the money *2025-01-12* Doesn't trim automatically a video, any video you add should be a quick clip among the photos. Almost no songs available. Songs only play a few seconds and won't last the whole length of the video. Only 50 photos max, so the video created will be a very short video. Apple store mentions you can purchase a weekly subscription but it's not available in the app. ### 2/5 — Problem with app. *2024-12-30, version 1.19* I like the way this app works but I do have a really big problem with it, it does not let me save videos to my camera role (I pay for the app) and it jsut dosent complete the processs also since that dosent work I tried screen recording my video and it all goes well until towards the end there is alaways one type of piece that messes up and ruins the whole thing I need help immediately please!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — It doesn’t download the video properly *2026-05-31, version 1.21* I just paid for the annual subscription and I regret it. I just created the first project video collage with videos and pictures of a trip. The project plays fine in the app, but if you download it to your phone to upload it on social media or share with friends the collage cuts off the pictures.. it only displays the videos. So I cannot even use the thing I just created and paid for ☹️. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Could be so much fun *2026-04-28, version 1.21* The subscription price is wild!! Have had a nice video sitting for a year cos I can’t afford to download and enjoy it. Hope you guys reconsider and read the room of affordable prices.. ### 1/5 — Crash *2025-12-23, version 1.21* App continues to crash ### 1/5 — don't buy *2025-10-01, version 1.21* after uploading 10+ photo & mix with videos, it's ridiculous that template stuck rendering for part of photos. Such a shame bug in the app and cost $10 per month ### 1/5 — Rediculous *2025-09-30, version 1.21* 8 Euro per month - what a joke. Once 8 Euro would be fine. But every month!? Absolutely rediculous. ### 1/5 — Can’t export and videos *2025-07-10, version 1.21* I liked the concept of the app at first, but when I went to export my video it wouldn’t let me as I had to pay for premium to export it which I did not want in the first place. ### 1/5 — Can’t export 🥲 *2025-05-10, version 1.21* There are bugs with in ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2025-05-04, version 1.21* Paid app, you cannot even download the most basic video ### 1/5 — We have to pay to try it *2025-03-11, version 1.21* We have to pay to try it ### 1/5 — Would’ve put zero if I could! *2025-02-22, version 1.21* Downloaded this app after being on a trip. I wanted to showcase my photos in a video clip. Saw this app and downloaded. I went on and uploaded all of my photos(max 50) tried to export and you have to pay. You can’t even make one video without paying! Do not download this app if you don’t want to pay money. Extremely disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — LoF *2025-06-06, version 1.21* So far so good.
