### 1/5 — Absolute Rip off

*2026-08-11, version 2.0.8*

This app doesn’t even work when you sign in it takes you to a web page. Then it asks for your credit card. I tried to create a 15 second video after 2 hours it only created the storyboards no video. Absolutely worthless

### 3/5 — Extremely glitchy

*2026-08-11, version 2.0.8*

I think the quality of the content is fine but the app itself sucks. I have to log in EVERY single time and then I just get an error message after I try to export My content.

### 1/5 — Me decepcionó

*2026-08-08, version 2.0.8*

Me cobró 10 dólares solo por descargar la app no me di cuenta cuando lo vi pensé que era una suscripción intento hacer un video mientras lo va generando lo más barato q me está cobrando son 30 dólares mensuales (no puedo hacer videos)

### 1/5 — this app sucks

*2026-08-02, version 2.0.8*

it creates work for you, but it doesn’t show you to work until you run out of credits so definitely a scam

### 1/5 — The Sign in with Apple button is broken

*2026-07-25, version 2.0.8*

Can’t use the app despite registering on the website and adding card details.

### 1/5 — Let down

*2026-07-17, version 2.0.8*

I was excited about this. I was ok to pay $30/month.  Then I download it and try to make a 10 second video out of 5 photos.  Used my 10,000 credits in 20 minutes and didn’t even get one video out of it.  Then they said no refund because it did what it was supposed to.  Total rip off if you ask me.  At least I just lost 30 dollars and 30 mi items of my life.  Lesson learned.

### 1/5 — Sucks can’t even get into the app

*2026-07-16, version 2.0.8*

It’s so confusing to use on the phone it pops up in Sadie for no reason and sucks at literally everything it does fix your controls unhappy download delete in less than two minutes

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-07-12, version 2.0.8*

This app won’t even let you try it out for free not even 1 time wantsyou to pay $30 upfront so given us a one star

### 1/5 — Don’t bother

*2026-07-10, version 2.0.8*

First they want an email, then they want a phone number, then they want payment details. All before you can access anything, no thanks.

### 1/5 — Subscription cost

*2026-06-17*

Worst app don’t download and cost is  higher with no free try video generating without paid
