Just pure trash

Use to love this app now it’s garbage

No longer cool

Used to be one of the best editing apps, but now the app is slow and editing bogged down for no apparent reason; it just spins while trying to load cont by for. Also, designers have not updated templates in forever, just same old same choices.

Not great for a beginner

The options and the music is not great and the edit very basic and not beginner friendly

Create a movie

Tried 3 times to make a video not just stops doesnt say why and never makes the video

Years ago it used to be the best app. Now bad bad

Fraudsters

Charge you at every turn. Search to import your own music (custom and owned by me) and documentation says it’s possible but you have to pay $6.99 + $29.99 to find out it’s not possible. What a joke

Help

I haven't been able to record videos since I took out the subscription A message says an error has occurred

Horrible

This app use to work so well but has wasted my money ever since I renewed In January 2026. Every single video has been incomplete because of errors. Save your money and space on your phone. DO NOT Get this app. You will be disappointed. They also do not have customer service support.

Easy to use

Love it 5★☆✰✵✫

SO BAD

It was so bad like I did not do anything on it

TERRIBLE

I spent half an hour creating a video on a trial plan. All the sudden it has erros occurring in the system. I would not want to pay for the actual plan after this experience!

Just a bad app

I don’t know what you’re doing and why it says four stars .6 but that can’t be it’s just bad hard to explain

ok

doesnt really show the effects and gives you no options for transition effects either. When you play the video while editing it does not show how the video will look. Adding words is also a pain as it does not automatically align and you have to click enter to make the words go down so it doesn’t go out of the edges of the frames. not worth $20+.

Bugs still

I paid for the subscription thinking it would be great software. However I’m finding out that there are loads of bug issues. I cannot get Google Photos to sync, it continually cycles through the getting access via google and nothing ever happens. The app crashed several times trying to edit a video. I would not waste your $$ on this app.

What Happened??

What happened to being able to customize with your own music. Once my go to app…not so much anymore…

Negativo

HOrrivel Aplicativo não valva vídeos nem de 10 minutos fala que tem mas de 120 minutos

Upside down photos

Some of my photos came into the movie upside down. I don’t know why and I did not know how to fix it so I ended up removing them.

Trash

This app worked a few times then never worked again no matter what I tried. It also has glitches that ask you to sign into iCloud even though I already was and tells you to confirm an email but you can't confirm once you click on the link. Just lost $6.99 so you don't have to!

It’s ok.

I like this app for sure but would recommend CapCut instead….
Cons of Magisto

1. Like, everyone uses CapCut

Pros of Magisto

1. It’s family friendly
2. There are awesome templates to work off of.
3. It’s free!

Glitches, hard to create videos in one go

This app constantly glitches, exits out mid-project, takes forever to upload photos, and overall is just so slow to create anything. Once you get it to work- the results are great
