Not Fixed
After updating my MacBook Pro to OS 27 Lumafusion crashes every time I open another app or browser.. the Mac puts it into the background and forces it to close! This is very annoying when looking for media outside of Lumafusion.. expected this update to fix it but it hasn’t.
Duo update messed up layout for pro max
Since the last update my layout on the editing clips screen is very off, the sliders area is tiny. Please fix this. I use this editing app exclusively for my content.
A really great tool! Add-ons are too pricey
LumaFusion is a really nice tool. I like the fact that the add-ons are still available as one-time purchases (even though there’s a secondary subscription feature available as well). Please don’t lose the ability to purchase them as needed.
One built in feature I’m hoping eventually comes to LumaFusion is Subframe Audio Editing, it’s especially useful for fixing sync issues when working at lower framerates.

Unreal
Value and ease of use are second to none! Love it
Áudio dando piques
Faz uns 2 anos que o áudio fica dando uns malditos piques estranhos do nada, está ficando impossível editar.
Great but basic features are buggy
App is great on iPad, but being able to view the audio waveform is bugged on almost all of my voice overs. Flat lines when I’m not speaking and when I am. Actually makes the software useless when the entire video needs to be voiced over and I have to get my take perfectly instead of cutting it up. Do they not have QA? Also, I can’t believe that there’s no Auto CC feature. You basically have to run your video through insta / TT just to use their CC feature and then you have no controls

Sigh…
I really used to love this app, worked just about flawlessly. But man have I been getting so many annoying bugs in last year or so. Mainly audio issues. My audio will cut out while I’m editing, and the only way to fix it is to fully close the app and reopen it. Only for it to happen very shortly after, once again. I can still manage to get through the editing, but not without the tedious, and very frustrating issues in the process. I pretty much never write reviews for apps, but I’ve used this one for a long time, and just wish they’d patch the audio bugs.

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.
LumaTouch, please read the Lumafusion sub-reddit and realise how unhappy your customer base is.

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!
