Много русских пользуется вашей продукцией. Она действительно крутая ### 3/5 — I have no problems with this app *2026-07-16, version 4.100.0* It’s fine it works as a editing app! I wish there were better fonts and effects though ### 2/5 — Does not work with the Action 6! *2026-07-09, version 4.100.0* This app is fantastic with my Action 4 but how do you not support the latest action camera? Please add the Action 6 ASAP!! ### 4/5 — Thunderbirds Hoover Dam Flyover *2026-07-01, version 4.100.0* Boulder City, Nevada ### 3/5 — Need update *2026-05-13, version 4.100.0* I love this app. Because I don’t have pc I use it to color my Djibouti avata2 vedio on iPad mini 5 Recently light cut became soo slow and hard to use. So much lagging. Help me solve this issue plz ### 4/5 — It’s great *2026-04-21, version 4.100.0* They’re still improving. They really need this as a desktop app to work with my drowning. ### 4/5 — Convenient if you’re on the go👌🏼 *2026-03-31, version 4.100.0* Really pretty dang good. I just put 5 long videos into it and it spit out a 1 min long highlight reel for me no problem 🙌🏼 only downside is it’s a little slow 👌🏼 ### 1/5 — No Action 6 Support *2026-03-10, version 4.100.0* Does not currently work with the action 6 camera. ### 5/5 — Great find, but please add more templates/songs! *2026-03-02, version 4.100.0* I love it, and I will be using more of it in my blogs. It's clean and easy to work with, especially with my Gimbal DJI pocket 2 cams. I'm hoping to work with it more on other projects where hopefully, there will be added space for about a minute to 2 minutes of video footage of customizable templates making room for that space. I love everything about it! I recently got the DJI mini 3 pro drone to work with, which makes it more demanding for the need for different customizable modifiable templates. The songs/scenic sounds and tones should be free from copyright issues, as I've often been asked to take a video down or change the songs/sounds because of copyright laws on Facebook. It would help if the templates made room for lengthy videos. ### 4/5 — الرياض *2026-02-28, version 4.100.0* تصميمات ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolute waste of time *2026-08-08, version 4.100.0* Garbage, please do not download ### 1/5 — Complete rubbish *2026-08-03, version 4.100.0* Will not connect to DJI Osmo Pocket 4 ### 1/5 — Copyright music in the app *2026-07-30, version 4.100.0* All the music is copyrighted ### 1/5 — This is a disaster *2026-07-28, version 4.100.0* All drafts disappeared. No answers no explanations ### 1/5 — Crashes all the time *2026-07-18, version 4.100.0* It’s cool how you can spend hours editing a video and then it just crashes and completely resets the draft back to zero edits ### 1/5 — THEY MISSED THE POINT *2026-06-12, version 4.100.0* The app needs connection to the wifi and my Action 5 only connects to the Ipad by wifi. This defeats the purpose of not needing to download the video to the ipad or phone to edit right off the camera. VERY poorly thought out. ### 1/5 — My Journey = Zero Stars *2026-04-30, version 4.100.0* Picks videos for u then won’t let u access what u want… only what ai wants after accessing your entire library. Fix it. Way better apps out there. Zero Stars. ### 1/5 — Beginner Tutorial Doesn’t Work *2026-04-28, version 4.100.0* First feature I tried doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — All my files were mysteriously deleted. *2026-04-23, version 4.100.0* This was a great app until it wasn’t. Mysteriously, all of my videos were deleted last night. Months of work down the drain. ### 1/5 — Forces Full Access to Photos & Videos *2026-04-18, version 4.100.0* I have always been able to use this app while only granting access to select photos and videos. Now the app forces users to grant full access to device media and locks you out of your drafted video projects if you do not grant it. The app is extorting me to provide all my data so I can access my video project drafts. No wonder DJI is being banned in the US with such practices. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-21, version 4.100.0* Very easy to use. ### 5/5 — Fantastic App *2026-07-20, version 4.100.0* A no nag simple app for IOS.

Pay attention to the help tips and don’t be afraid of the tutorials! A lot of assets are already in there so you don’t have to do a lot of hunting around for them. ### 5/5 — Good edit opportunity *2026-05-06, version 4.100.0* I am using this app for editing my drone footages, overall very positive experience, I can recommend ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-04-14, version 4.100.0* It’s a very good app when I want to put photos in one video and even add music I can with this app just select the photos pick the music and there you have it. ### 5/5 — Great video editor for making quick videos *2026-04-07, version 4.100.0* I really enjoy working with LightCut for all of my DJI films. The software is intuitive, easy to use, easy to export to various video outlets. While it does not have all the bells and whistles of a high end video editor, it perfectly serves the purpose for putting out high resolution, enjoyable to watch dramatic drone and action camera videos. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-04-05, version 4.100.0* Todo fácil y al punto. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
