This is not Instagram or TikTok and priority in UI is questionable for a company like this… ### 1/5 — the app crashes *2025-10-21, version 3.0.10* crashes and most of the features don’t work including saving the project or downloading it… ### 1/5 — Who’s in charge of this? *2025-10-07* App still has a lot of bugs and fixes need worked on. Lottie, did you run out of budget for this app? ### 1/5 — Scam - Don’t pay for premium. Free Great. premium a scam *2023-07-18, version 2.10.5* Free version of Lottie was great some excellent content. But limited, so signed up to premium and no more content as the premium content is with iconscout $250 + $200 to get not much. Advice just stick with the free version and try elsewhere for premium content ### 1/5 — Premium subscription won’t load *2023-02-18* I’ve been trying for the past hour and the premium subscription page won’t load at all. If it would work, I’d change my review as I would love to actually use it. ### 1/5 — Issues *2023-02-08, version 2.8.46* After picking any demo animation I see only black with just bottom buttons... ### 1/5 — Glitch, still… *2023-01-25, version 2.8.44* It’s really hard to work out. When I tap it zoomed in, and my apple pen wouldn’t work ONLY FOR YOUR APP. You need to put yourself in the position of the users. I’m sure if you fixed some far from minor mistakes, it would be great. If I see you updated, I will check it out again, but I think you could fix a lot of things. Sorry if this sounded mean. 🐷🐷😚😚 ### 1/5 — Приложение косячит *2023-01-05, version 2.8.37* Постоянно некорректно подгружаются мои анимации: одни пропадают, другие отображаются по несколько раз.

Love it。👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Animations for the festive season *2023-12-06, version 2.10.9* Here is some tips after my first two. AE built out of AI is pretty cool. You need to get the layering right so you can have build a sequence which is a big time saver AE to LF has its own journey with twists and turns. Merge paths is something you can expect then it’s a hunt to find the offender. Luckily everything syncs and supportive so testing is straightforward just time consuming. Once sorted the Linking is very cool. In WordPressI am using Themeco Pro which has done a load of preparation work to make integration easier. It’s just another element which you have total control over. These projects are made up of micro steps which although at first time consuming are rewarding and not difficult. ### 5/5 — Plz help *2023-11-01* Keeps crashing on the app and canva ### 5/5 — Can’t live without this app *2023-06-26* Navigation took some time, but each version update was an improvement.
