### 2/5 — You have to read this before buying it

*2026-07-23*

When you get the app, it gives you 20 coins and you lose all those coins after you do a couple pictures or videos and if you want more coins, you have to buy your own coins when you sign into the app it doesn’t give you coins. After you sign in, you have no coins you have to pay over $15 just to get coins waste of money.

### 2/5 — Annoying but cool.

*2026-04-13*

PLEASE READ!,
This app is so cool! I love the drawing to video! I made an awesome animation of a kitten.But it is very sad that you have to pay for a lot of it. I mean, 3 things then I suddenly have to pay!?!? That is the WORST idea in the history of editing. And there are a LOT! I just really sucks. And I wanted to make some more of a girl, but I can’t. I feel sad and cheated. I would very much appreciate it if you could please make it free for all. Other than that if I could get all of it, I would give it 5 stars out of 5.
Sincerely, Annoyed

I love this app’s results.  The only problem is making us purchase credits to keep
Using its features.  I’d rather pay a price for the App with unlimited uses.
