NOT GOOD AT ALL

I tried this so called “awesome fx app” and it only has a few fx options and you have to pay for most of them! This app was horrible and I am deleting it. Do not buy this app! If you want a good fx app, might I suggest Video FX effects maker, which has much more options than this app, and to unlock more effects, instead of paying, you just have to watch an ad!

The game is not that good

All you have is 2 effects, unless you want to pay money. Why did you delete the option to just watch a video to use effects? Also, i hate how you have to have someone else hold the phone to record, because you can’t just flip the recording screen or be aloud to upload videos. 👎
No jokeNo joke

Great but could add a few things

This app is great but I have one complaint.My complaint is that it doesn’t let you flip your camera and it was really hard to record myself without flipping the camera.
