It doesn’t even work it’s a wast of time. You literally do nothing on. That’s what I think. ### 2/5 — Broken *2023-04-30, version 1.0.3* It’s broken, but good otherwise. ### 4/5 — App keeps crashing *2023-03-30* As fun as this app is, every time I try opening up/creating a new project in it now, it keeps crashing and kicks me out. Can you please fix that issue? ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-01-19* The app is okay. It just has some issues like the effects don’t look the most realistic ,and the effect need to be able to move with the camera. It would might help if you could shorten effects a little. But other than that, its a pretty good app. ### 3/5 — It won’t let me save my videos *2022-11-06, version 1.0.3* This is just really stupid ### 3/5 — It alright *2022-08-10, version 1.0.3* It doesn’t have much but it works ### 3/5 — It doesn’t work *2022-01-18* It says I need to do a landscape style but I still do it and it doesn’t work it doesn’t work it’s impossible for me to get my films in there yes this affects a very cool but it doesn’t even work So please fix it please and you have to pay five dollars please fix it ### 2/5 — This is great but it needs updating *2022-01-01, version 1.0.3* So,this WAS a great app but every time I tried to choose a new project it crashed! I think it needs updating. ### 1/5 — Not worth the money *2021-06-22, version 1.0.3* Only has 11 total effects and it’s very hard to use. Can’t edit the length of the explosions. Regret buying this ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-06-03, version 1.0.3* It doesnt save to photo library and there are not enough effecs CRAP ### 2/5 — Bad quality explosions and not a lot of choices *2021-03-22* I feel like this is a waste of money, there’s a small selection of explosions smoke affects and fire. It would be nice if they made the quality a little bit better and put on more choices. ### 1/5 — Why *2021-03-07, version 1.0.3* I bought this app and to be completely honest, it was crap. Not only was there no texture, no availability, but there was no way to actually use the app. I couldn’t make an effected video and put into my camera roll and that is a huge problem. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2021-02-22, version 1.0.3* I can hardly load a video without the app crashing ### 1/5 — Waste of 5 bucks *2021-02-21, version 1.0.3* Every time I select one of my vids I want to edit it kicks me out of the app! There’s honestly nothing I can do about it so it was nothing but a waste of 5 bucks ### 1/5 — Crash *2021-02-11, version 1.0.3* Crash every time I try to load a video! ### 2/5 — Can’t shorten the fire *2021-01-14* I love this app I really do but I can’t shorten the fire right if I have an explosion in the light of the fires cooler the fire just keeps going on to the next scene I can’t shorten the length of the fire I want to shorten it maybe to a couple seconds but it just goes on and on and on and I can’t use it really I can’t use anything on the app and less the screen isn’t going to move to another location or the only way I can use it unless the screen is set in one fix location and I have to let the explosion go through its motions And then start the next scene which I don’t want to do it like that ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2021-01-02, version 1.0.3* You cannot export your videos ### 2/5 — Quite disappointed *2020-12-18, version 1.0.3* This was definitely the worst app out of the pack, your gun fix one was amazing but this is Definitely not even close to that, please update the app man and I don’t say this too be a dooshbag I’m saying it because you have obviously been ignoring all the other comments to update it. Please update this app and do somthing about the crashing well downloading it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish, do not waste your money *2020-10-24, version 1.0.3* Rubbish, do not waste your money ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t let me select a video *2023-06-28, version 1.0.3* Absolutely terrible app I can’t even submit a video to edit ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2023-04-01, version 1.0.3* I keep trying to use it but when I try to get the video to do it on the app crashes ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-01-15, version 1.0.3* Doesn’t work at all. Doesn’t let you export file. App crashes. 0/5 ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2022-12-24, version 1.0.3* This app has potential but does not work well. No way to shorten or manipulate effects, exporting doesn’t seem to work either. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Needs serious updating *2022-10-30, version 1.0.3* App won’t save my video and explosions look poor and looks old over all and super laggy not worth the money ### 1/5 — Fraude *2022-09-07, version 1.0.3* I bought this app, but unfortunately there are fraude here (apart for the gray screen, nothing is visible). Waste of money, would not recommend anyone to buy this crap. ### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work *2022-06-04* I tried opening multiple videos but they would not import for editing. I finally noticed that you can only use landscape videos (which would have been good to know before spending $5) so I tried 3 different landscape videos and those also didn’t work. ### 1/5 — There’s a massive issue *2022-04-27* So I’ve been using this app for a couple years and it’s great the fire is great and the explosions are great but ever since I got the newest iPhone 13 pro max I’ve been experiencing this issue with the app when you export it the video becomes really bright and has a really weird white filter pls fix this and I’ll update this review ### 1/5 — Rip off *2022-02-19, version 1.0.3* This app contains a small handful of poorly done effects. I could get a better result ripping effects directly from YouTube, and it would be quicker. ### 1/5 — No longer exports *2021-06-25, version 1.0.3* Used to love this app, sad that it no longer works, wish I’d known that before starting a project where it was vital… Opens as normal, imports video, allows you to add fx, tells you it’s exported yet no sign of it in the camera roll… Most frustrating… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I have a suggestion *2020-10-04, version 1.0.3* Alright, this would make it much more better to use if you had a negate tool, for example we would have an explosion behind a pillar... but we cant do that with this so if you had a tool where you could negate the fx with a tool that would help alot :) ### 5/5 — It’s perfectly fine *2019-01-26, version 1.0.3* I’m really confused on what’s happening to others, but the app runs fine. Sure, it plays the video a little slower than it should, but it actually helps to see if you really like it in the spot it’s in or not. I like that you can change the size, and spot it’s in. There’s not many effects, but it’s just fine for me. Honestly, it’s better than trying to make explosives out of gun movie fx, which is also great! To export a video to the library, you have to save it to your projects, then export it with the button on the video. A little much, but it’s kind of simple. As a YouTuber (thezombies38901 and Plush), it feels good to edit action parts of videos. Of course, the effects won’t stay in place, but I feel like it’s going to glitch out my phone if you tried to keep it in the same spot. Anyways, I love the app, and maybe fix up a few things? The only issue I see that others see is a bug that can glitch the app and shut it down. If you do that, you might get better reviews. :) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-01-18, version 1.0.3* The app is amazing you can export it to your photo Library it’s so fun I don’t even know what to say so if you guys are looking at the app I would recommend to get it also I saw another comment that said can you make a water FX app can you please do it it would be amazing if you can bye ### 5/5 — Great! But.... *2018-07-11, version 1.0.3* This app is amazing and I find myself using it in my spare time and even in public a lot (which admittedly is quite sad) but I just feel like the app doesn’t offer a lot of fx compared to Gun Movie FX. It has a bit of fire, explosions and smoke that’s it. I’m not asking for a high budget action film or anything. Just a bit more fx. Maybe a glass shatter effect or a blood wound fx (not the blood but the mark it leaves as I feel that it would be quite good as you can set it so you have a clip after that can go in to fill in the gap of the bullet wound if that makes sense) love the app. More variety please! ### 5/5 — It's very decent *2017-12-03, version 1.0.3* As you know explosions or very most action and I use it for exploding telephone poles not in real life but a special fx and I love it ### 5/5 — Advice *2017-11-25, version 1.0.3* If you add more assets in the app people will like it more and you will get more users! Really good but need a lot more assets like explosions and more. ### 5/5 — Good and bad at the same time *2017-08-17, version 1.0.3* This app has wonderful FX BUT on older phones it has trouble saving to the camera roll. AND EVERYONE WHO IS CONFUSED ON HOW TO USE THE APP GO TO APP SUPPORT IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-01-03, version 1.0.3* Ok 👌 I'm just doing this so the game gets better rattings but I do kinda like it ### 5/5 — Water movie fx *2016-06-04, version 1.0.3* Hello,I really like your pyro movie fx. I was wondering if you can make a water movie fx, with waves water and tsunamis. It would be really cool. So I hope that you can make it bye! ### 5/5 — You CAN transfer! *2016-05-01* Transfer to gallery, then go to gallery and transfer again and it will say saved to camera roll! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
