You are genius’s! Thank you! *2021-07-05, version 1.7.7* This is the best app ever! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-06-14, version 1.7.7* Great app and fast to use. Do Ken Burns effect easy peazee. ### 4/5 — Really great for the price! *2020-03-29, version 1.7.7* It is a great app to put together a slide show video with music. No ads that I encountered which is amazing. Just wish you didn’t need to start from the beginning in order to check which image is appearing at a given spot in a song. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Web quality *2019-11-20, version 1.7.7* Met my biggest concern - creating a high quality video suitable for a full screen display on a landing page. Easy to use and learn. One suggestion - Exports to .mov and would love an option for .mp4. (As far as I can tell so far) ### 4/5 — Problems uploading *2019-04-28, version 1.7.7* Here’s the issue: I save to my photos. When I try to upload an animation with only 10 pics, it takes over 5 minutes or it doesn’t load at all. I have an excellent Internet connection so the problem is not that. Suggestions, please! ### 1/5 — Terrible app, continues to crash and glitch... *2019-03-02, version 1.7.7* I was putting together a slideshow for a friend and as I would adjust the slide, the thumbnail photo showing the position would turn white. When I would tap it, the proper menu would pop up, but the video was still all white. Also upon attempting to render the footage, the app would crash and send me to my home screen. ### 5/5 — Very fun to use. *2019-02-19, version 1.7.7* The best pf its kind. ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-09-23, version 1.7.7* Very nice design, easy to pick up and use right away. I like the integration with the other apps as well. ## Frequently asked questions about PhotoMotion ### What does PhotoMotion do? PhotoMotion transforms your still photos into dynamic video stories.
