Crashes

Every single time I try to upload a photo the app crashes. I purchased the whole package. A complete waste of money.

Could be better

I had this App for Android and it was perfect. No video mode, poor zoom.
The “Magic animation” is good.

Complete Scam

Found this app hoping to get some footage of Santa for the kids. Turns out you have to buy a few things. Classic scenes 4.99. 2015 scenes 4.99. Remove watermark 4.99. I figured heck, it’s for the kids. So I purchased all 3 just to come and find out that once you buy the classic and 2015 packs you also have to buy the individual scenes in those packs. Complete rip off! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Constantly crashes. Doesn’t work.

I paid for one of the scenes and I haven’t been able to use it. Every time I try to, the app just crashes and closes. Waste of money. Very frustrating.

Disappointed / waste of money

You purchase Santa/ elf collections and then you can’t use them
The one that it allowed me to use , when I used a photo it stretched the photo so it was not in proportions ... don’t waste your money... if I could give a negative star I would
