I drag it to the front and it randomly puts it somewhere else. When I reopen my project clips are all rearranged for no reason. ### 2/5 — Fix the trash audio *2026-07-14, version 1.4.16* Audio cuts out in MOST clips ### 3/5 — Move *2026-06-18, version 1.4.15* Like this ### 4/5 — The audios *2026-06-11, version 1.4.15* I would definitely say it needs some more viral audios like Brazilian dances and stuff like that but I LOVE this app 20/10 ### 4/5 — review *2026-06-08* must try for reel editing should add more templates ### 5/5 — Very easy to use. *2026-05-11, version 1.4.15* Excellent product! ### 5/5 — Top *2026-05-08* Topissime ### 5/5 — Es fenomenal *2026-05-07, version 1.4.15* Muy buena y muy rapido ### 5/5 — Great great job *2026-05-04, version 1.4.15* Beautiful sunsets ### 5/5 — GOOD *2026-04-09, version 1.4.14* Tetera ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-04-07, version 1.4.14* Really easy to use, user friendly! ### 2/5 — Meh. Clips will not load *2026-04-06, version 1.4.14* Does not load previous work, just keeps saying importing clips. Also, there is no way to search your pictures when you were trying to create a reel and add pictures or videos. The easiest way to select them is to put them into an album and can select from that way otherwise, it’s a nightmare, trying to sort through your content to add. ### 5/5 — Ultimate app *2026-04-03* User friendly app ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-03, version 1.4.14* Really fast and easy ### 5/5 — Reel maker *2026-03-28, version 1.4.14* This editing app is so good and A amazing and I definitely recommende it ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No access even after subscription purchase *2026-08-20* Even after purchasing the subscription no access given ### 1/5 — Horrid !! *2026-08-13, version 1.4.16* 80% of the templates aren’t available - I tried 14 in a row and all said “unavailable” waste of money ### 1/5 — Very glitchy app *2026-07-29, version 1.4.16* Not very good At keeping projects. I started a reel 5 times and I wasnt able to post it kept losing the video. Very frustrating for sure. ### 1/5 — I pay and have try all day to make a reel. Crash’s every time. Takes hours to save the reel to phone *2026-06-15, version 1.4.15* I pay and have try all day to make a reel. Crash’s every time. Takes hours to save the reel to phone. I only one video reel. Hole day wasted and followers lost and pay out of pocket . Read reviews save ya time nd money. Very disappointed… will be looking for new app later the next day with this as a warning of how bad they can be before I pay next time .. ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-03-19, version 1.4.14* Doesn’t let me upload / export my video, even after paying for it! ### 1/5 — Subscription *2026-03-14, version 1.4.14* Good luck ending your subscription because you’re just gonna get billed again after ending it. ### 1/5 — Editing *2026-01-29, version 1.4.14* Poor editing options. Can’t edit pics to fit frame ### 1/5 — Black screen *2026-01-01, version 1.4.14* Spent an hour making a reel, saved it just for only to play for a few seconds and give me a black screen the rest. After the first save you have to pay so I paid to avoid doing another hour of work on another app just to have the same problem, over and over. Unless you want to do you project twice I would not recommend. I want my $3.99 an hour of my life back.. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-01-01, version 1.4.14* Very confused why you create a reel and when you go to save it, it’s suddenly a half an hour or hour long when saved…Even the paid version ### 1/5 — Terrible experience *2025-12-20, version 1.4.14* Had the most annoying and terrible experience making reels. Had to rework on my reels 3 times as they Don't have enough option editing and moving around clips and it is asking my to pay to save after all the terrible experience. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-09-01, version 1.5* I love it!!!!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-08, version 1.4.16* Easy to use ### 5/5 — best reel maker *2026-07-25, version 1.4.16* five out of five ### 5/5 — Great job! *2026-07-10, version 1.4.16* It’s a super easy app and has more functions ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-07-09* Useful app for real making ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-06-11, version 1.4.15* Good ### 5/5 — Interviews *2026-06-10, version 1.4.15* Me ### 5/5 — The best!!!!! *2026-06-06, version 1.4.15* I am loving how easy it is to create a great reel!
