This is an amazing app. ### 1/5 — Difficult to cancel *2022-06-03, version 1.0.5* Purchased yesterday to try and won’t let me unsubscribe ### 1/5 — I didn't know fake reviews were a thing... *2022-06-02, version 1.0.5* Clearly this app purchased about 1k positive reviews because the app functions like trash, there is no way it has 5 real stars. Before you even use the app at all they are asking you to review it - so annoying - within just a few minutes of tapping around they have tried to get me to go pro 5x. All of these effects are super super lame and found in way better apps, there are NONE of the cool effects that got your attention in the commercial. False advertising and a crappy money grabbing app. If you want this stuff go check out apps lie video leap that are affordable and work as advertised. **My response to their response No you guys aren’t working hard or you wouldn’t have purchased reviews, trying to take the easy path. Maybe you could have spent that money to make the app better instead. 🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Trash *2022-05-30, version 1.0.5* Don’t waste your money. If you seen this app on TikTok or IG and thought the affects you seen were cool, well….they were. They just are not available in the app. Total trash and a rip off. ### 1/5 — Can’t even try it first *2022-05-24, version 1.0.5* So you have to pay first before trying it which is always a no for me. But what cracks me up is you wanted me to rate the app before even trying it lol. You need to rethink that one development team. ### 3/5 — Cool effects does not export *2022-05-07, version 1.0.5* App will not work and not export to phone only bought it 20 mins ago for a quick edit and paid the yearly , any one know how I get a refund ? ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-05-07, version 1.0.5* First it doesn’t give you some free trial. The app does not have many options to work with and you need to purchase it to see simple effects that you get for free at others app. Also the options of restoring your purchase does not work lol so if you buy it like it did you are f… you can’t get your money back ! That’s not good ! ### 1/5 — FALSE ADVERTISING *2022-05-07, version 1.0.5* When it says to hold down to choose effect, it doesn’t work. Not all features are free and most cost money. This app is literally worthless and I would defiantly recommend CapCut as a app to edit your pictures and videos! ### 2/5 — Went ‘Pro,’ super disappointed *2022-05-05, version 1.0.5* There are a couple really cool effects available for free - and upgrading to Pro is pushed pretty hard. I figured id give it a month shot for $10, and I feel ripped off. Very few new features are available after paying. None of what’s unlocked after paying is better, graphically more appealing or more exciting than what’s already available. The only other new controls you’re granted as a ‘Pro’ are some very limited music editing options, like adjusting the volume or choosing audio from your gallery. As said, this app has some cool foundational capabilities that are tough to find in other editing apps. Namely the repeater stuff. But you’re so limited in terms of actual editing features anyway, and so little is unlocked for a whopping $10, it’s hard not to feel like I got screwed. Sure you could go with the lower price and pay for the year, but if right now I’d paid $35 for what feels like nothing, I’d be an entirely different level of annoyed. ### 3/5 — Request a refund *2022-05-03, version 1.0.5* I clicked on the trial, 7 days I did not mean to buy this today. There was no message saying I had no right to a trial, or anything warning me I am about to actually buy it. I request my money to be returned please as I would not have paid today or chosen a year, I would have chosen a monthly. Look forward to hearing from you. ### 3/5 — Would you please provide a refund? *2022-04-29, version 1.0.5* I meant to do the monthly. Not the annual. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2023-09-23, version 2.3.3* Will delete as it doesn’t work, crashes everytime ### 1/5 — Advertising is BAIT AND SWITCH *2022-12-10, version 2.3.2* Ad video shows cool edits I’ve never seen. Real app has the same base effects as Instagram/Tik Tok. App is a SCAM. ### 1/5 — This is BUG central *2022-11-05, version 2.2.1* I beta test a lot of apps. I’ve been doing so for the past 10 years on over 10 iOS devices. This and the last release have been nothing but bug city. These bugs are things I don’t see in early beta runs of apps, let alone an app that wants to charge you $10 a month. I had a few months paid subscription before and didn’t feel that the app warranted the price. I certainly would not pay for this app if this is how they beta test (the general public who pay for subscriptions). I am actually shocked that any self-respecting developer would release an app with this many bugs. Even lone developers would not even send something like this to the beta testers let alone think you would pay for it. Get it together, fix the app, and maybe I’ll throw 10 bucks away next month. Until then, I have plenty of iOS apps that don’t cost nearly the price that this app costs, and they actually work. So disappointed. Crash, freeze, and error messages are all this app offers right now. I will change review if it ever gets better… ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2022-09-21, version 2.0.4* I purchase the app and work you save a video and come with errors ### 1/5 — Misleading *2022-07-31, version 2.0.1* There was a Facebook ad showing a guy who would suddenly turn into a skeletonless blob. The effect looked fun, so I followed over. Sadly, nothing in the app offered SFX like that. It’s just a glorified snap filter app. If the ad wasn’t so misleading, I would have felt differently. This just really upset me. Why lie like that Reel? Be REAL! ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2022-07-18, version 2.0* This is a huge rip off and advertising is misleading. You cannot do any of the spectacular effects advertised on Instagram or other adverts. You’d be lucky to crop your image and add a filter. No real time effects—-boring boring boring. You’ve no choice but to buy a subscription to UNLOCK but you have in fact just paid for an app that does what most any other photo or video editing app does. This shouldn’t even be on the App Store. ### 1/5 — Nothing like the ads. *2022-07-12, version 1.0.6* This app is nothing like the ads makes you think it is. Deleted after 2 minutes. ### 1/5 — Don't Bother! *2022-07-08, version 1.0.6* The app is a waste of time and money. It's not how it's advertised at all!!! It's a scam! There are other editing apps that are FREE and have more effects then this crap! I'm highly disappointed! I never write reviews but I had to save my content creators the headache. Do not download PLEASE! ### 1/5 — Refund *2022-07-02, version 1.0.6* I want my money back x Just paid 9.99 and this app has crashed on me. I tired adding sound and placing it where I want it to start… completely useless… refund please ### 1/5 — I want my money back *2022-06-13, version 1.0.5* I paid for the pro and there is no difference from the non paid subscription there’s none of the effects you advertise it can do complete fake ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2022-06-07, version 1.0.5* This app is amazing ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-01-15, version 1.0.5* I love…………..!,!:!:!!::!)/!/$&/:&)/)/)$/$.$’fmfksjxjxdnsnbdjsbw dndjdjs d snacks d s d it ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2022-07-29, version 2.0.1* Seems cool. I got it for a year. However can’t find any online tutorials on how to use features. Are there any instructional videos demoing the app and filters? ### 4/5 — App working well after re-install *2022-06-12, version 1.0.5* working well after re-install ### 3/5 — The Option For Wide *2022-12-08, version 2.3.2* Horizontal video isnt completely dead & the option to use wide would be nice. Went to use for. Work project that would be viewed in a zoom meeting but…. ### 3/5 — Version 2.2 crashes on opening. *2022-11-03, version 2.2* Just updated to the newest version. App crashes on opening. ### 3/5 — bugs *2022-08-05, version 2.0.1* yeah the app shuts down every time I'm in the middle of editing also when i save the completed videos it has no sound ### 3/5 — Hey *2022-07-06, version 1.0.6* I just downloaded the app but haven’t tryed it yet but the only reason why i did, is the amount of low reviews this app been getting and comments.. 😂😂🤣😂 ### 3/5 — NO AUDIO I CANT HEAR MY VIDEO *2022-07-01, version 1.0.6* Please fix this and your app would be 5 stars very awesome idea just want to hear the audio that’s all Meaning -there is no audio while editing the video - and no audio of the edited video that is exported -either direction there is no audio ### 3/5 — It’s ok but needs a lot more effects. *2022-05-28, version 1.0.5* Needs more effects before I invest😎 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
