### 2/5 — It’s dookie

*2026-08-11, version 3.1.9*

Most of the things are premium and my first day of using it the video won’t load and get created the vid was less then 10 seconds and I have 17 pro also I try to place somthing and I get kicked out of the app

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-08-05, version 3.1.9*

Nothing would download

### 5/5 — Of me

*2026-06-20, version 3.1.7*

A good app

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2026-05-16, version 3.1.7*

The app doesn’t even work i try to use a effect and it does not download

### 3/5 — It’s pretty good, so, four stars

*2026-05-04, version 3.1.7*

The graphics on most of the effects are great and it's pretty easy to use. But the bad thing is there is a downloading limit and you have to pay to download more FX. And that's not mentioning all the effects that you can't use because they're premium and you have to pay money for them. Overall the effects look really cool and it's good that they are motion tracked. 
And It is pretty good however I am on a free account and it keeps saying "ops download limit exceed" even when I haven't downloaded anything all day PLEASE help I love this app but I can't use it if it is doing this
I also have been trying to find a good fantasy magic video editor for months. This app was a game changer, and I am already in love with it. It's a great price, has incredible effects, and always ends up looking amazing! I would 200% recommend this to literally everyone!
But I've never used anything like it! And I think what you're doing is very exciting. I am a video creator, myself, a new Youtube or shoot short films, and l am a production manager for a fighting promotion company, and iamb trying to learn special, visual effects myself, so that's how I came across this app. But it is fun to use. If you're thinking about download it,
you should.
Also, production Crate already makes insanely wonderful VFX assets. But then to let us live preview and record them in the real world for no additional cost? It's too good to be real!
My only complaint is that I don't see how I can reposition my VFX. It seems that the app just places it somewhere in 3D space, and my attempts to position it only move it in Z space.
Could be user error, tho. Is there a tutorial on how to use this app yet? I'm still looking for options to set my grind plane before the 3D assets are augmented. Every other 3D asset augmented reality app does this as the first step.
And it is very good for making movies that are about monsters, even without the premium content, it is very good for making monster movies, si-fi movies and many more.
And finally, It's extremely user friendly and easy to use. Free version has tons of great effects AND they're all super high quality, but you can’t buy premium for some reason, but still, Thanks!
Ps: change from 4+ to higher, there are very gory assets.
Edit: I found a tutorial for the app
Developer, please respond to this
