All the sudden it has erros occurring in the system. I would not want to pay for the actual plan after this experience! ### 1/5 — Just a bad app *2026-01-24, version 6.9.4* 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 ### 2/5 — ok *2026-01-06, version 6.9.4* 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+. ### 2/5 — Bugs still *2025-12-28, version 6.9.4* 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. ### 2/5 — What Happened?? *2025-12-22, version 6.9.4* What happened to being able to customize with your own music. Once my go to app…not so much anymore… ### 1/5 — Negativo *2025-11-08* HOrrivel Aplicativo não valva vídeos nem de 10 minutos fala que tem mas de 120 minutos ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-09-13, version 6.9.4* 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! ### 3/5 — It’s ok. *2025-09-05, version 6.9.4* I like this app for sure but would recommend CapCut instead…. Cons of Magisto 1. Like, everyone uses CapCut 2. It takes FOREVER to load 3. It requires wifi Pros of Magisto 1. It’s family friendly 2. There are awesome templates to work off of. 3. It’s free! ### 3/5 — Glitches, hard to create videos in one go *2025-08-22, version 6.9.4* 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 ### 1/5 — Out dated and expensive *2025-07-04, version 6.9.4* For $40 a month I expect more and better editing settings. This is the most basic out dated app for editing videos! I paid for a month and I was so disappointed like why did I waste my money for a lame app. DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR SUBSCRIBE!!! ### 1/5 — SCAM *2025-06-26, version 6.9.4* DO NOT GET. ONLY LOSERS WITH NO TASTE WILL SAY ITS GOOD. I GAVE IT AN HONEST SHOT AND IT DIDNT DELIVER ### 1/5 — I am having issues with my Modesto. The first slide is blank, and the video doesn’t start immediatel *2025-06-21, version 6.9.4* This is my favorite app on my iPhone. I can share special days and special moments so easily. Thank you for creating another wonderful way to share my joy. ### 1/5 — Scammers!!! *2025-06-15, version 6.9.4* Be aware, they offer 7 days free trial but take your money immediately and if you try to cancel within the trial period they won’t refund the money. ### 1/5 — TERRIBLE APP JUST PUTS FILTERS ON YOUR VIDEO *2025-06-08, version 6.9.4* I’m trying out different apps to make videos with. This app has nothing to it and just really puts filters on your video. Can’t really edit anything. More of a photo collage app that your Grandma might use. The $6.99 a month is also ridiculous and the themes are way outdated. Again I really don’t consider this an editing app. ### 2/5 — What happened *2025-05-31, version 6.9.4* So disappointed …this used to be my favorite app. I’ve had this app forever, pay the yearly subscription. It is impossible to edit or add your own music. Trying to put it on my computer and it won’t let me. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App stopped working *2026-08-15, version 6.9.4* All my videos are gone and it won’t process a new one. ### 1/5 — Just pure trash *2026-06-01, version 6.9.4* Use to love this app now it’s garbage ### 1/5 — No longer cool *2026-05-31, version 6.9.4* 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. ### 1/5 — Not great for a beginner *2026-05-30, version 6.9.4* The options and the music is not great and the edit very basic and not beginner friendly ### 1/5 — Create a movie *2026-05-28, version 6.9.4* Tried 3 times to make a video not just stops doesnt say why and never makes the video ### 1/5 — Years ago it used to be the best app. Now bad bad *2026-05-24, version 6.9.4* Years ago it used to be the best app. Now bad bad ### 1/5 — Fraudsters *2026-05-23, version 6.9.4* 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 ### 1/5 — Help *2026-04-13, version 6.9.4* I haven't been able to record videos since I took out the subscription A message says an error has occurred ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-04-09, version 6.9.4* 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. ### 1/5 — SO BAD *2026-02-15, version 6.9.4* It was so bad like I did not do anything on it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My Go to! *2026-08-20, version 6.9.4* Okay so I’ve been using this app for over 6 years and I love it, I’ve tried all the other free apps and you have to pay for any cool features but this app has a ton of cool FREE features and I love it! Many of personal and business promoting videos have been made on here.. and no matter how many others I try I always come back to this one because it gives u cool videos for free, thinking it’s time to upgrade tho 😘 Love the app keep it up guys and I’ll keep sending ppl ur way! ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2026-03-18, version 6.9.4* Love it 5★☆✰✵✫ ### 5/5 — Upside down photos *2025-10-28, version 6.9.4* 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. ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2025-08-05, version 6.9.4* Some ### 5/5 — The VHS filter is really all I’m here for! *2025-05-30, version 6.9.4* Hi, to the creators, artists, and designers of the Magisto app, you have the best VHS filter out there. It’s a perfectly random VHS emulation where, anytime you import a photo or video, it does on its own which is what I really like, and I’m enjoying it. I first tried out the app, when I was going somewhere in an extravaganza last year with my sister and I thought it was awesome. I just tested it out, and never deleted the app since. I really am hopeful that this app will last a lifetime, because without I’d be sad. I love VHS, and I’m happy that it is indeed still alive, especially on this app. And shout to the people behind the amazing effort into making it render. I recently had been enjoying my time whilst experimenting with it. Thank you for all you do! You do deserve these incredible 5 stars!! SUPERB! ### 5/5 — Magisto holds a special place *2025-05-03, version 6.9.4* Me and my family have been using Magisto since 2013 and we still do. Cute videos and special days in a 1 minute video and a special theme i love it ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-04-27, version 6.9.4* THIS. IS. AMAZING. But one thing: I think you should make the Magisto subscription thing a one time purchase. That’s all I need to say and please reply ASAP. Thank You! ### 5/5 — Magisto *2025-04-13, version 6.9.4* It’s so cool ### 5/5 — Fotos alrevez *2025-02-28, version 6.9.2* Porque cuando pongo varias fotos live en el video aparecen alrevez antes no lo hacia! ### 5/5 — Please Update *2025-02-19, version 6.9.2* I really like this app but it has bugs When I work with it, it kicks me out of the app Why hasn't it been updated? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
