### 3/5 — Decently good

*2026-03-23*

It is great in general, but how do I change the speed and effects in the videos?

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! You can adjust speed, effects, and make other edits in the clip editor. Once you're done recording, tap the blue arrow in the bottom right, and select the clip you'd like to edit. Finally, from tool panel you can choose from various editing options (effects, overlay, speed, voice over, etc.)

### 4/5 — super nice

*2026-02-10, version 4.92*

its like if u cant get capcut then use dis its a little unadvanced but its sorta-mabye-kind like cc!

### 3/5 — Awful for long form videos

*2025-10-08*

I have a pro account I paid $40 for and I just recorded a one hour long format video. The entire thing is messed up and I have to re-record. DO NOT trust this app for long form. It’s only decent for quick 5-10 minutes videos. I’m so mad right now

**Developer response:** I sincerely apologize for the technical issues you're experiencing with our app. Please email us and explain the issue, and we might be able to recover and fix your footage. 

- You can undo filter or transformation operations.
- You can change video orientation and layout.
- You can export raw clips and edit them elsewhere.
- Erased footage can be recovered from the deleted section.

We're awaiting your email to help save your video!

### 2/5 — I need help!

*2025-08-16*

I filmed videos outside, and i was away from the house, so there was no internet, and they were being filmed and everything outside. But when I came in and the boxes where the videos are are there, but now they won’t show the video. How can I get them to show, can you fix it? Or will I loose them all?? Can you help??

**Developer response:** Hi - videos are recorded and saved locally on your device, so they should be safe. Open your project, tap the blue arrow at the bottom right and you should be able to see all your videos. If you don't, all deleted videos (which must be deleted by the user) are kept for 30 days in the trash. You can recover these by going to the settings icon (gear) and tapping "Deleted Items"

Please email us for further help

### 3/5 — I love this app but….

*2025-06-06*

This app is great, but… You can’t put music in the video. I use this app a lot, but something I want to do on it asks me to pay. That is captions.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We will address these issues in forthcoming updates.

### 3/5 — Bug needs to be fixed

*2025-05-08*

I love the app, but there is a bug I’d love if you’d be able to fix it. Now each clip starts with a black screen, so the transition between shots turns out super weird and not smooth. 

I’d also love if the play button in the editing section (side to the button download) would play the entire video starting on the video I’m at and not from the beginning every time. 

Lastly, I’d love to trim the clips but the original version stays there in case I need to undo the trimming.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your excellent feedback! Regarding the bug, we will get this fixed quickly. Good idea about making the play button start from the selected clip. Finally, yes maintaining the original video clips would be super helpful. These changes will be made live in the next app update :)

### 4/5 — This app is great but…..

*2025-03-03*

This app is great and it helps me a lot when want to pause my vids, but I don’t rlly like the way they do not add music or a background, and it makes you pay for subtitles but it does not work for me! But over all this app is great ,I recommend this app!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We will use it to improve the app

### 2/5 — Cannot reorder / splice frames

*2025-01-04, version 4.11*

Paid for $7.95 mo upgrade and cannot reorder / splice frames. AND NO HELP ONLINE.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2024-10-14*

This app is okay I guess .but you have to pay for everything, I mean EVERYTHING, you can’t put music in or anything, so please make this app have background music so you can dance , other than that it is 👍

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, the app is completely free to use, and an upgrade is only required to access certain features, such as watermarking, AI subtitling, etc.

### 2/5 — Join recording

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — BAD INSTRUCTIONS

*2024-10-17, version 4.10*

No checkmark in the upper right hand corner.

### 1/5 — Dommage

*2024-09-20*

C’était top jusqu’à ce qu’il ai automatiquement la watermark sur la vidéo tout le long

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre retour. La version gratuite a toujours inclus un filigrane. Pour le retirer ou appliquer le vôtre, il est nécessaire de passer à la version premium. Nous prendrons en compte votre retour pour envisager des améliorations concernant le filigrane.

### 1/5 — Screw the paywall

*2024-09-02*

“Start your free trial” stays on my phone exactly 5 seconds.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. We will resolve this issue in the forthcoming update.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t really pause

*2024-04-19*

What’s the point if it leaves you with a million clips? I thought the video would record as one piece by using pause button. Garbage. This is why I downloaded it to begin with… because my iPhone doesn’t offer a pause button when I record. There is no difference between your app and my phone. They do the same thing… waste of my time.

**Developer response:** Hi there - if you click export it joins the clips into one unified video. The clips are separated to allow for editing or deleting individual segments.

### 1/5 — Won’t EXPORT

*2024-03-06, version 3.231*

What a WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT ON A FAULTY APP!

### 1/5 — Very expensive.  It is only a 3 day trial

*2024-02-26, version 3.231*

It’s like 40 bucks.  Not worth it.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2023-12-30*

I can make videos and pause them but it’s hard when you use an IPad so it would be better if you can use this APP on a phone and IPad.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. Since the app is designed for iPhone at the moment, so it's not optimized for the iPad just yet. We will track your feedback and use it when developing the iPad version of the app.

### 1/5 — Not “free to use”

*2023-11-16*

Who wants video with a watermark? As you cannot turn it off without buying a subscription after 3 days trial, it’s not free to use, as has no useful functionality at all without paying. Deleted it.. It could say “free to use for 3 days or with watermark”.

**Developer response:** Thank your for your feedback. The watermark is just few frames attached to end of the video, and it isn't superimposed on the entire video. The free trial precedes a subscription that unlocks additional editing tools, such as subtitling and silence trimming. The app offers a lot of functionality in the free version, but upgrading adds even more.

### 1/5 — HORRIBLE

*2023-09-02*

Spend two hours making a video and it turns out it doesn’t have audio or let’s me export it to my camera roll

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We are working to resolve this issue. In the meantime, please ensure you have enabled the microphone permission for the app.

### 1/5 — Error shows

*2023-09-01, version 2*

I cant export videos….plz correct this immediately

### 5/5 — Hate

*2025-04-11*

I hate this app. The only reason that I rated it five stars is that people would see it. This app is a scam. It is way to much money. I hate whoever made it. It ruined MY LIFE!!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review. We're sorry that you're not happy with the Pro tier of the app. Please note that you do not need to pay anything to use the free version of the app—which limits access to certain features (e.g. AI subtitles, watermarking, etc). If you're having trouble exporting content or have content locked up, please email us and we can try to help recover it.
