*2019-09-07*

I waisted $5.99 for a stupid app that doesn’t even work 😡 It was working fine until, the texts got extremely big and it wouldn’t even let me save my video I made. This app must be cursed ಠ_ಠ. I looked at it on the App Store and it says it doesn’t even have 2 FREAKING STARS. I hate this app and I hope the rating drops to even less than 1.

### 1/5 — Worst app ever.

*2017-07-27*

So I'm making a movie. And unofficial one, of course. I want the credits to be cool looking, so I search for an app with scrolling credits. I stumble cross this app and download it. There is no scrolling credits option. Although that is the title, don't be fooled. Please save your two dollars.
