Very Clumsy UI
This app is incredibly clumsy for the iPad. There are so many steps to do something simple as speed up a video, and even speeding up a video, the options are very clunky. This app could really learn from the simplicity of the video editing app Splice. Users shouldn’t have to go to multiple pages to edit one thing. The options should appear right there, on the main screen rather than jumping all over the place

Squandered its lead. Basics locked behind paid in app purchases
I have been using Lumafusion since its launch. I have purchased every in app purchase minus storyblocks. But the increased amount of bugs, the lack of basic features like curve adjustment and the feel that there will be no updates that won’t require extra payment, have led me to go to da Vinci resolve instead. The free version of Da Vinci resolve includes pretty much everything that is an in-app purchase on Lumafusion. Meanwhile, Resolve’s in app purchase upgrades the software to be in line with the full desktop editor. The cost of which is pretty much the same as all of the Lumafusion in that purchases. The constant promises on social media from Lumatouch that’s ‘something new is coming’ simply makes me think it’ll be another paid in app purchase. At this point, I’m not willing to put more money in the pot, when the chances are that whatever they announce will already be in da Vinci resolve for free.

Terrible
I’ve used 4 editing softwares and this was by far the hardest to understand
Not what I expected
I was looking for an editor that might do a better job at lightening and cropping a video than Photos. I paid $30 and can only zoom in. Everything else is paywalled. I am mad.
$30 does not unlock the full app
Pretty good editor but after the app purchase many features are locked behind a monthly subscription. Some of the navigation for importing media or using luts is not as intuitive on iPhone
Paid app, but audio keeps cutting out, making editing impossible
**Title:** Paid app, but audio and playback keep failing, making editing impossible
**Review:**
I paid for LumaFusion expecting a professional-level editor, but for weeks two serious bugs have made it almost unusable.
First, audio cuts out. While I'm editing, sound stops completely on every clip in the timeline, usually after I fast-forward or scrub. The audio meters show sound is playing, but I can't hear anything. Force-quitting the app often doesn't fix it. Restarting the iPad does, but within a few minutes the sound cuts out again.
Second, playback keeps stopping on its own. I press play and the video stops a moment later, over and over. I often have to press play five or more times just to watch a section through.
Both problems happen constantly on iPadOS 27. I've spent over a month on a video project, and these bugs have slowed it to a crawl and put the whole project at risk. I've contacted support. Until these are fixed, I can't recommend paying for this app if you need reliable playback while editing.
You may want to send a quick follow-up to support about the playback issue too, so they have both problems on record.

Version 5.5.2 is broken
This was the best app video editing app by far unfortunately now doesn’t even open after the updating to version 5.5.2. Note says “preparing LumaFusion” and then crashes out.
MAJOR ISSUE
Am having a major issue exporting hour plus video keep crushing with IOS27 plus fix it soon as possible
It’s kinda funny
You pay for the app to download, for using the basic features, but a ton of them remain locked behind a yearly or monthly “subscription”. I give it two stars because you can at least use it in the basic terms.
Great app for editing videos
I’ve been using LumaFusion for about 4-5 years now on my iPad Pro and I love it!! It’s easy to use especially if you’re a beginner to video editing. The interface is clean and not complicated at all like some apps. I also appreciate the many upgrades that the developers have made to LumaFusion over the years. I know there’s still things that people complain about that it doesn’t have however, for $20 I feel like it’s a great app.

Fantastic app. I keep coming back.
This app is just something that I can't get my head off. I've tried everything. I think I've tried most editing software. I've even seen my wife using Edius. Lumafusion is by far the most fun I've ever had editing video in my life.
If you save the clips to your phone and you have enough space with a Blackmagic camera, you can save them. Find your downloaded files, then go straight into Lumafusion and edit the videos. That's the best workflow I came up with: saving from Blackmagic to a local folder that's downloaded, then working locally on my local drive on the phone. The app is so intuitive. The functions and the thought process behind it are just so brilliant: cutting clips, throwing them off the timeline to delete, and saving your presets on the bottom. The presets are just so beautifully done. I can't think of anything better.
The only thing I did email about, and I did get a reply, is about fast-forwarding the clips while previewing. While you're previewing, they'll edit quickly, and they did eventually release that. You can press play and swipe right to increase playback speed and swipe back again, but you don't have any audio on it. That's the last thing I will need to make this perfect. When you edit large, long videos, you don't want to listen to yourself at real-time speed. You want to hear your speech faster, so that will be the final thing.
The fact that it's on your phone or iPad is incredible. I can't thank them enough, and it doesn't have the bells and whistles. Maybe AI editing is the thing they might have to do in the future, but apart from that, I love it.

Long time user
Generally reliable. Add on model as opposed to subscription is a win for me. Takes some time to learn specific actions, but tutorials are helpful. High quality output options work well. Great selection of colour presets, effects and LUTs. Occasional bugs like most apps. One wish is quick ease in/out volume control like FCP. Please don’t add tons of AI - protect the environment!

Awesome!!!!
I’ve been using this app for almost 2 year and it is very good .
Everything I Need!
Thank you SO much for having a base model that is a one time fee. As a small creator/artist who can't afford outrageous subscription fees, the fact that I can buy your product once and use it to my hearts content is really amazing. It feels like the Lumafusion team actually cares about allowing smaller creators to use a really great product and create cool stuff. <3 Base version does everything I need it to do! My fave features are the multi tracks for audio/video, overlay title, and colour grading. Perfect!!!

Not very impressed for Iphone
I have a feeling it works best on a I pad as it feels squished in, difficult to use, and frustrating for me. I was under the impression my voice clips, but the share option doesn't work.
Clunky and confusing
I have not been impressed with this at all. It says it supports up to 12 tracks yet I’m stuck at 6. I’m always having to lookup where everything is because the interface is not at all intuitive and when I finally do learn a bit of it they move things around. I’m no video editor so maybe this is on me but I find myself wasting so much time just trying to do basic video imports and clipping. Also it does wild things like when I clip a video and delete a section it will just delete the whole track. This app just doesn’t make sense.

分割にバグ？
使用環境:iPhone15plus
購入してから最初は本当にこのアプリは使いやすくスマホアプリなのにPCさながらの編集が出来て本当に重宝していました。…ですが最近、動画のカット編集の時にタイムライン上で分割ボタン(はさみマーク)を押してカットしますよね。
すると、カットを押した場所と全く違う所でカットされてしまう。1つ前に戻し、カットをやり直す→また違う位置でカットされる。酷い時は、これが5〜6回しないと決めたポイントでカットする事が出来ません。最初は何か軽いバグかな…と思いきや、最近はカットを失敗する事がどんどん酷くなっている。動画のカット編集って、ただでさえ大変なのに、これのせいでストレスが10倍になりました。いい加減イライラが止まらないので、レビューにかきます。お願いですから改善をお願いします。
Device: iPhone 15 Plus
When I first started using this app, it was truly amazing—it allowed me to edit videos almost like on a PC, right from my phone, and I relied on it heavily.
However, recently a serious bug has started happening during cut editing. When I tap the split button (the scissors icon) on the timeline, it splits the video at a completely different spot from where the playhead is. I undo it and try again, only for it to cut in the wrong place yet again. At its worst, I have to repeat this 5 to 6 times just to cut at the intended point.
At first, I thought it was just a minor glitch, but it has only gotten worse. Video editing is already time-consuming enough, and this issue has multiplied my frustration tenfold. I couldn't take the stress anymore, so I'm writing this review. Please, please fix this bug as soon as possible.

APP NO LONGER WORKS
I updated the app on iPhone, and it no longer works!!! I can’t get to my active projects, start new edits: anything! I click on it, and it says “preparing LumaFusion” for 10 seconds then CRASHES.
The best editing software I know of for iPad
See title.
