### 4/5 — Very useful, just one issue

*2026-04-16*

This app is so helpful because I don’t have to redo the captions on every social media platform for my video.  The only issue I have with it is that it won’t let me change the size of the caption box.  I want to make my caption box a little small smaller, so it doesn’t get covered up by other parts of the video, but it looks it can be only one size.

### 5/5 — Great Captions

*2026-04-12, version 1.1.7*

The app is great, but please add the ability to add a shadow to the back of the stroke.

### 4/5 — Caption boxes are too wide

*2026-04-12*

I love the simplicity of this app. Being able to generate captions quickly is awesome, but we need to be able to resize them to fit the screen.
The captions I’ve created so far look good in the app, but they’re too wide when I upload my Shorts and get cut off on the sides

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-10, version 1.1.7*

Captions are create almost instantaneously and the styles are terrific!

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2026-04-09*

Simple and modern UI. Easy to use. Does exactly what I need.

### 5/5 — Easy to use!

*2026-04-08*

Great quality - Great value. Picks up the perfectly almost every time, easily customizable with lots of options. Fantastic App!

### 5/5 — Easy and amazing. Just like TP Pro

*2026-04-08*

I’m a long time user of their TP app and the quality came to Captions too. Easy and precise.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-04-07*

Great app,
It does what it says, easy to use, slick interface, no fancy stuff!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal Product

*2026-04-07*

I am so impressed with this app!  I was excited when it released!  I’ll be using and sharing with my fellow UGC creators!

### 5/5 — Fantastic !

*2026-04-07*

Love the app ! It works better than any other Caption App I ever used. Fantastic

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-04-07*

This app is extremely fast and accurate.  When I used cap cut it would take a long time to do the subtitles and editing the words to be correct resulted in it being out of sync and not highlighting the key words anymore.  With this app I can edit it word by word, no effect whatsoever on the final result but the funny thing is I didn’t have to edit it at all. I can edit the font size, colors, how it’s highlighted and more.  I love this app! Thank you, a game changer for shorts! I used to use another app that’s twice this price and also editing the words resulted in a huge disappointment,  it would be out of sync and impossible to fix.  This is my new go to.  Keep up the great apps Mr developer man.

### 5/5 — Wow! I like this app

*2026-04-07*

I use combine with teleprompter and wow is amazing. Thanks for creating those app

### 1/5 — IT'S A SCAM

*2026-07-19*

don’t buy this guys it’s a total scam if you buy it, you won’t be able to make captions

### 1/5 — Poor captioning for songs

*2026-07-10*

This app is not accurate for sung lyrics

### 1/5 — Dude cancelled my membership for no reason

*2026-07-03*

I opened to use it and suddenly my account is no longer pro when it was “supposed” to be lifetime. Quite basic application. Luckily FCP just got a captions add on (just in time!).
He also has the feedback feed, but not sure if really works on the suggestions or not.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-18, version 1.1.7*

I’ve really tried to work around this app’s bugs, but it’s just not worth it. Requesting a refund.

### 1/5 — Most Videos Don’t Load

*2026-04-14*

I was really looking forward to using this app, but it rarely works as expected. Most videos won’t load into the project screen, and there are no error messages to explain why. Sometimes I see a video outline with a spinning loading icon, but nothing ever happens. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, but the issue still persists and the videos that act like they are loading come up again as if they are stuck there.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-04-07*

The app doesn’t seem to work for me. I pick a video and press the continue button. Then I just wait. No progress bar. No indication anything is happening.  I wait a long time and it just sits there.

### 1/5 — Great idea…just really buggy right now.

*2026-04-07*

Just as the title says…it has the potential to be really useful and great to use, but at present it’s missing some quite obvious elements.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, we had a huge flood of users on our launch day and found a few bugs, we’re working on getting them out as soon as possible. 🙂

### 1/5 — Not free

*2026-04-07, version 1.1.6*

If you don’t have money don’t download this

### 2/5 — Corrections

*2026-05-09*

When I make some corrections, it doesn’t update instantly so you don’t know sometimes if it worked.

### 3/5 — Some videos won’t load

*2026-04-08*

I want to like it because it seems like the app has great potential but some videos will not load into the projects area. No error messages or anything. 🤷‍♂️

### 5/5 — Makes Creating Captions So Much Easier

*2026-06-25*

As a content creator, this app has made my editing workflow much faster. The captions are accurate, the interface is simple to use, and it helps me create polished videos without spending hours editing. Definitely worth trying if you create content regularly.

### 5/5 — So easy!!

*2026-06-12*

Ok I just started making captioned videos so maybe I’m only a good reviewer for newbs but this app is SOOO easy AND intuitive. 

I have the pro version as an early adopter and I’m sold! Definitely worth trying for simple BUT elegant options.

### 5/5 — Good work

*2026-05-17*

I couldn’t fault this app for anything.
It does what it says it would do. Aspects to improve:
1. Show some dynamism when images are being uploaded so the user knows it’s working.
2. Differentiate the app from competitors like Edits and other similar platforms to show why users will rely on it

### 5/5 — Absolutely Love It!

*2026-05-16*

I’m so glad I downloaded this app! It’s completely changed the way I create videos. What used to take forever—adding captions, formatting everything, and making it look polished—is now fast and effortless. It’s saved me a ton of time and honestly made me excited to create more content again. If you make videos regularly, this app is an absolute game changer.  ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-11*

I use it for all my social media posts- works insanely well

### 5/5 — Recommend !

*2026-04-21*

Particularly if you are already a Teleprompter user. So many features of this are made easy, and easy to sensibly design. Especially if presets work for you. I tend not to use them but in a time crunch, amazing and we'll considered. 

Not sure if I have a personal favorite, but I would have to say that a seemingly simple thing for the spell checker/editor in me does it; being able to edit individual words for spelling or emphasis (adding an exclamation point, for instance, to match my intonation, or change to all caps) while scrolling the captions (quickly, and with haptics, excellent!). Seems simple but for me, it's perfect. A BUNCH of nice little touches like this in the interface. 

Ability to color for definition from background and scene as well as to place for this is excellent. 

And the best thing is, they will just keep updating with useful small touches as time goes on. Very responsive team. 

Being able to place different sections of the captions in different areas of the frame as the frame changes is my big ask, but they may be working on that already, or I maybe just haven't found it yet. Still exploring. If that is in, it's my forever app.

### 5/5 — So far …

*2026-04-17*

So good … still playing around with it but very happy to have a good captioning app.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-15*

Easy to use!  Still getting familiar with it but it’s super easy and makes videos look professional!  Would like to see how we can add our logo to the video.  Thank you - keep it up!

### 5/5 — Valuable

*2026-04-15*

This app is great and makes adding captions to videos easy. It has lots of controls. It solidly and quickly does the job.

### 5/5 — Excellent Automatic Video Captions

*2026-04-12*

I just tried the app, and it works great for adding subtitles to videos. I find it fast, intuitive, very easy to use, and very comprehensive. Right now, videos can be exported in 1080p, but that’s enough for me. The best part is that I can add subtitles in the language the video is recorded in, and I’ve found practically no errors in the subtitles. Plus, there are lots of options for improving the font. Personally, so far I have to say I love it.
