Now every time I try, it says error message saying oops something went wrong. ### 1/5 — The grid feature isn’t working *2021-11-06, version 1.0.3* Very annoying ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work; Crashes *2021-06-18, version 1.0.2* I haven’t even been able to use this app because every time I try, the app either crashes or says “oops, an error occurred.” ### 2/5 — Cannot select order of photos *2021-03-23, version 1.0.2* The app puts the live photos together in random order and not in the order you want. ### 2/5 — Cannot use pictures in your camera roll *2021-02-20, version 1.0.2* Thought you could use pictures in your camera roll, but when I go to photos it only shows a few to choose from, and not the ones I want. Disappointed. As to developer’s response, how do you take Live Photo’s? Do take a video of a picture? ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2021-02-18, version 1.0.1* This was on the free for a day app and when you go to pick the free access for a day, it wont let you select it, but of course you can pay for it. Keep this off the free app for a day if you don’t plan to keep your word!!! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend *2021-02-17, version 1.0.1* I really like this app! It’s very easy to use! I like that it’s not super complicated and does all the work for you turning Live Photo’s to cute videos! I love using it to make cute videos of my kids!! ## Frequently asked questions about Lively ### What does Lively do? Lively allows you to transform your photos into videos.
