Their product is very mid. Not worth the money. They also force you to make a purchase before trying. That’s shady. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-06-20, version 1.9.37* It’s good but extremely limited in what you can do. Limiting paid users to 5 elements per image is crazy. I have projects that look unfinished. I have to limit my visuals to fit your limitations on creativity. The water effect is the best part of this app and the only reason I subscribed. Once I figure out how to get my water to move elsewhere, I’m done. ### 2/5 — No new features users love *2026-06-07, version 1.9.36* Instead of focusing on ai tools that are not that great- focus on introducing new features people love which was overlays, elements, etc. there hasn’t been an update in years. Too bad, the minute someone comes up with a clone app with more options… I’m gone. Been with you for years but you do not roll anything new out. ### 3/5 — . *2026-05-13, version 1.9.36* A lot of things that were free are now pro only. We barely have any options left ### 2/5 — 차라리 AI를 쓰세요! *2026-04-03* 써보니 너무 불편해서 2주내 환불 요청을 두번이나 했는데 거절을 하네요. 그러니 저도 확실한 피드백을 드립니다. 아이패드 쓰시는 분들 특히 잘 읽어보세요. 특정 부위만 움직이지 않게 고정하는 브러시나 마스킹 도구가 정밀하지 못합니다. 손가락으로 섬세하게 영역을 지정하기가 어려워, 경계선 부분의 배경이 같이 일렁이는 현상이 자주 발생합니다. 추가적으로 경로설정의 한계도 있습니다. 움직임의 방향을 화살표로 지정할 때, 복잡한 곡선이나 세밀한 속도 조절이 어렵습니다. 결과물이 다소 기계적이고 부자연스럽게 보일 때가 많습니다. 마지막으로 여러 효과를 겹칠 때 각 효과의 우선순위나 레이어를 개별적으로 관리하기가 어려워, 편집이 복잡해질수록 제어가 불가능해집니다. 그냥 AI한테 시키세요. 시대가 바뀌고 있습니다. 저도 단순하게 해볼까 했다가 낭패만 봤네요. ### 1/5 — This app used to be so cool *2025-12-29, version 1.9.32* It was limited but still fun. But now, even though it’s limited, they want you to pay for it. It was ok when it was free, but if I’m going to pay for an app like this, it would be for a much better app. Shouldn’t have gotten greedy, fellas…drag… ### 2/5 — Non responsive *2025-12-21, version 1.9.32* Reached out to their email on the bugs but they dont respond ### 3/5 — E as festas de fim de ano? *2025-12-05, version 1.9.32* Não vai ter nada relacionado ao Natal e ao ano novo? Nenhuma frase, pisca pisca, árvore d Natal, guirlanda, nada? To sentindo falta disso… canecas, bandeirinhas temáticas, tem tanta coisa e o app não ofereceu nada! ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware! Watermarks remain even with paid subscription! *2025-11-21, version 1.9.31* I love the features of this app to make ordinary images come to life -BUT- what they don’t tell you, is that the app is in “sunset” mode and the features are no longer being updated or glitches being fixed. I paid for a subscription and was shocked to discover that not all of the features work. Most irritating though, is that their MotionLeap watermark REMAINS on their videos even with a paid subscription! I’ve gone back and forth with their tech support and was told that the app is no longer being supported, I’m assuming for new subscribers, so the issues won’t be fixed. The lack of transparency is pretty shameful and creates distrust. I hope they either fully commit to their product or be truthful with consumers so we can make an informed decision. ### 1/5 — Unfair Pro-Subscription changes *2025-11-20, version 1.9.31* The photo animation was never locked behind a pro subscription based paywall. Since when and why? Even the options in the direction/speed of the picture animation have been removed. This app is going backwards. ### 1/5 — Does not work at all *2025-11-10, version 1.9.31* Just paid a yearly subscription on my iPhone 17 pro and nothing was moving. My iOS was up to date. I asked AI several times for held and still it got stuck at the same picture. I canceled and do not even know if I will get a refund after a use of 60 min. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes continuously no updates worthy :/ *2026-07-09, version 1.9.37* They did one update in a few years and it was adding ai image maker (ooh ah sigh) meanwhile they have not added anything to their actual usable content that most use this for in several years and now it crashes a minimum of 5 times before its usable on the 6th or 7th (with content from 3 years ago. Sad when they stop caring. ### 1/5 — I hate this app *2026-05-13, version 1.9.36* I just like writing angry app reviews. ### 1/5 — Not worth it anymore *2026-04-27, version 1.9.36* Now they want you to pay for everything on this app which is very ridiculous!!!!! Every update they adding cost to the app. These apps are really starting to be very useless!!!!! Stop switching it up!!!!! We already have to pay for certain things on here why keep adding!!!!! You guys are useless!!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Not user friendly *2026-03-23, version 1.9.35* Need instructions for the beginner. ### 1/5 — Waste of money. *2026-03-13, version 1.9.34* Complicated to use and no directions just wasted a bunch of money. ### 1/5 — CRASH CRASH CRASH *2026-02-23, version 1.9.33* Really sick of “Whoops! Something went wrong!” 😡 I paid money for this??!! 😡 ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-01-29, version 1.9.33* It’s confusing. I was charged 143.00 which I had no idea it was that much. I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to use the app with and still, I have not been able to animate a single video ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2026-01-25, version 1.9.33* Very buggy. Don't believe the reviews. Trying to find a way to cancel ### 1/5 — Fake Reviews *2026-01-21, version 1.9.33* This app sucks. All the good reviews are fake. It doesn’t animate anything. ### 1/5 — Horrível *2025-12-31* Pra editar uma simples foto no modo gratuito, app pede pra acessar toda a galeria e solicita assinar versão paga pra poder usar. Desinstalei no mesmo instante. Nota zero. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-07, version 1.9.38* I like this app , elle m'a sauvé 🙏🏻🤍 ### 5/5 — Total scam. DO NOT GET! *2026-06-23, version 1.9.37* I made a video, added one effect and it popped up remove pro limits. ONE EFFECT PEOPLE!!! Total scam can’t make a thing. If they promise total creativity what they mean is CASH GRAB DO NOT GET. And the pictures come with effects so you can not even export it! It is a terrible app, it is designed to take money. ### 5/5 — Title *2026-06-15, version 1.9.36* Review ### 5/5 — great! *2026-01-22, version 1.9.33* wonderful i love it simple to use ### 5/5 — فخم *2025-12-26, version 1.9.32* فخم ### 5/5 — المملكة العربية السعودية *2025-12-19, version 1.9.32* اتمنى تغيير شيئين في هذا التطبيق: ١- تغيير الحيوانات او بعضها الى حيوانات أخرى، لأنهم أخذوا كفايتهم أكثر من اللازم. ٢- تغيير الكلمات او بعضها الى كلمات أخرى، ولنفس السبب السابق رقم(1) ### 5/5 — Top *2025-11-23, version 1.9.32* O mais show que baixei até agora está de parabéns todos os envolvidos. ### 5/5 — Это восторг !!! *2025-11-14, version 1.9.31* Моя мама художник, она анимирует свои картины в этой программе.
