### 3/5 — It’s good but…

*2026-08-07, version 2.1*

The FX goes off track sometimes it can go on the other frame. I think you guys should fix that and you should make an update and also it’s a pretty good app, but yeah, the tracking on this is not bad

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!!

*2026-05-14, version 2.1*

Perfect for recreating the most iconic Star Wars lightsaber duel out in the backyard

### 1/5 — It’s almost as bad as Disney’s…

*2026-04-20, version 2.1*

First of all, there are no sound effects for the cross gaurd Lightsabers. Secondly, it is very limited for the price. It is absolutely not worth it and I am against the people who made this.

### 1/5 — Wth?

*2025-08-06, version 2.1*

It won’t let me open any of my projects?!? I laid so much for this app and can’t even use it!!

### 4/5 — It's Great, with a few bugs.

*2025-07-27, version 2.1*

It works as advertised, but weird glitches and bugs make me have to reinstall the app. Overall, it works really good. also very time consuming.

### 4/5 — Ja

*2025-07-22*

Nach 30 Videos stürzt es halt  immer ab, ich kann meine Videos gar nicht mehr angucken. Wenn ich sie lösche sind sie  irgendwie noch da. Ich kann die Videos nicht wirklich löschen und angucken und es verzögert meistens😫😤😃

### 3/5 — It’s great but

*2025-06-17, version 2.1*

I was working on a project for Lego stop motion I was creating when after 2 and a half hours of saber editing i decided to take a little break. However, when I went back into the app to look for my project. The 2 and a half hours of work was gone.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-05-30, version 2.1*

The app cannot be used for pictures, only videos. Not too much of an issue, of course, unless you count the fact that it doesn’t work properly for videos. The custom color fx cannot make a saber in the length you set it to, the frame by frame is not accurate (skips entire frames) and effects  you put in one frame will linger into the next even though the saber moved, and there is no eraser feature to correct mistakes (to erase one effect you need to erase the entire project’s worth of effects).

### 5/5 — Pls notice and update

*2025-05-19, version 2.1*

This is amazing and I use it for my stop motions but it needs the dark saber

### 4/5 — Export failure

*2025-05-14, version 2.1*

Can you PLEASE help me with exporting, I put a lot of saber effects, and when I click on the export button, it kicks me out of the app. Please fix that bug
