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 ### 4/5 — I thought it would be better *2025-11-17, version 3.1.7* It’s so hard to edit the vfx to be perfect. But on the upside it still has it pre-edited so you don’t have to do anything. But for people like me I want a little more freedom to edit! ### 4/5 — Why? *2025-07-23, version 3.1.7* This apps is great but the download limit on the free version is obscure. 5 is so annoying! Make it like 10 or 15 and you could raise the download limit on the premium version if you’d like you can too. Can you please update this🥺🙏 ### 2/5 — Please read this before buying this app *2025-07-16, version 3.1.7* This app is supposed to be great. I saw a video of it on YouTube and I thought it looked cool. I wanted to use this app for my movies. I wanted the tornado ones specifically. But they all needed premium for either $50 a year, or $15 a month. There was 2 tornadoes that didn’t have premium on it, but they still costed money, I would’ve given this app 5 stars, but the cost is just bizarre. ### 4/5 — Wish there were more free fx *2025-06-27, version 3.1.7* I like this app but need more free vfx aimt that fun with all these limits. 🙃🙃 ### 4/5 — Vampire face *2025-06-25, version 3.1.7* So I wish there was more like vampire filter or like werewolf filter and more free things and that’s what I mean cause I’m trying to edit a vampire video, but I can’t find the vampire filters out so ### 4/5 — Why? *2025-05-31* This apps is grate but suddenly out of nowhere it just stopped letting me download FREE VFX when I searched it up! Can you please fix this. I like avoiding premium. can you maybe update it or something. Thank you. ### 3/5 — What the heck *2025-05-26, version 3.1.7* In the free section it’s telling me I have to buy the free products, it’s horrible ### 5/5 — Nice! *2025-04-16, version 3.1.7* Good for monster movies ### 3/5 — Why? *2025-03-30, version 3.1.7* What does this app mean my move iPhone to start.

Every time I try, I get an error saying, ‘Oops! Please log in to use this effect’—even though I’m already logged in. I’ve tried everything: restarting the app, logging in and out, and even reinstalling it, but nothing works. This is really frustrating! A paid subscription should work smoothly, not cause login issues. Please fix this ASAP! ### 1/5 — Best app ever! *2024-10-20, version 3.1.7* This is very fun and i mean it!this includes zombies,blood,wounds,explosions,vehicles,and more! ### 1/5 — PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *2024-07-01, version 3.1.7* I wish this app would actually work! I’m on iPhone 14 the latest update and everything I made sure the camera is allowed and audio but still the camera is like 1 frame per minute I can’t even use the effects! What a shame! I guess if this doesn’t get fixed I’ll be using a different app! Please help me to get this fixed! I would really like to be satisfied with this app but can’t and it’s very disappointing and frustrating!
