### 3/5 — Not bad

*2017-09-06, version 10.37*

After having trouble using the app at the beginning, I've learnt a way to do it. It is now not bad to use. The user interface is still not very friendly but ok. I have just paid for the Pro version, will test it out and provide a review.

### 1/5 — Used to be valid...now Garbage

*2017-05-22*

This used to be a valid and useful app.  It's either been hijacked and replaced with a total spam app, or the maker totally sold out somewhere.  It looks to me as if someone's original solid app has been severely tampered with on the App Store.

Apple should seriously investigate this situation.

**Developer response:** Sorry you're not happy with the app.  Have you looked at the tutorial videos to see how it works?  Feel free to contact us directly at support@clipish.net with any questions you have in using the app.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — It's a demo app and isn't worth anything at all.

*2017-05-16, version 10.37*

App does not resize images to 1080p, was working then stopped working. Assume this is a demo app only.

### 1/5 — Would NOT recommend

*2017-05-06*

I don't get it is this a stock image app or a scrolling credits app. Even if it is used for scrolling credit i don't know how to use the main feature of this app.

**Developer response:** Sorry you're not happy with the app.  Have you looked at the tutorial videos to see how it works?  Feel free to contact us directly at support@clipish.net with any questions you have in using the app.  Thanks.

### 1/5 — Not a good app

*2017-03-01*

It's not easy to use and it won't even let you download your work onto your phone gallery. I make short films and was excited to use this app until I saw its flaws. $2 of my gift card wasted. I do not recommend.

### 1/5 — Stupid

*2017-01-22, version 10.34*

Thanks for taking my money people!

### 1/5 — Broken

*2017-01-20, version 10.34*

This app doesn't work right out of the box. Terrible "workflow" from what I've been able to attempt before app freezes. Please don't purchase. This is a scam.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2017-01-15, version 10.34*

This app does not work properly! I feel like a sucker for buying before looking at the reviews!

### 1/5 — Why?

*2017-01-14, version 10.34*

Doesn't work at all and cost money

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2017-01-14, version 10.34*

I just bought this app for my upcoming movie I went onto it and thought this looks alright I wrote all my friends names down that were in the movie I finished it and then it rendered and I decided to watch it then it doesn't even work neither does the text come up but the saving doesn't even work so don't buy it other wise your wasting £1.99

### 1/5 — Only credits I want is my money back

*2016-12-11, version 10.34*

I Wasted 3 hours trying to create 23 seconds of scrolling credits for iMovie and never could get it to work. The text would overlap on top of itself after you save it. The app is extremely slow and glitchy. Don't be fooled into upgrading to pro or pro 2. More wasted money.

### 4/5 — So simple!

*2016-11-20, version 10.34*

When I found out how to use it, it was much easier! Very good app.

### 1/5 — Buggy, no sensible workflow, crashes often

*2016-11-05, version 10.34*

I bought this thinking it would be a great addition to iMovie. No, it terrible in almost every way. Don't make the mistake I did and purchase it.

### 4/5 — Nice app... It could use some improvement

*2016-09-29*

The app is great! I love the purpose and ideas that went into creating it. It's every amateur movie maker's dream, especially for kids. They could improve some o the elements and filters on the app. But for the most part... Well done!

### 3/5 — Ok I suppose

*2016-05-07, version 10.33*

Poorly designed and very difficult to navigate with unintuitive interface. Also it takes forever to upload credits. It does however work and there is a good selection of backgrounds, hence the third star.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2016-04-13, version 10.33*

After many attempts, we were unable to create scrolling text over an image and export/import into iMovie as the description states.  The app crashed several times, save doesn't appear to go any where's and it locks up on Done.  There is no way to successfully access the project.

### 1/5 — Not great, wouldn't recommend it.

*2016-03-30*

It works great and fine making the credits. But all that work is wasted when you can't export the credits. Whenever I try to click "Done" when I then want to exit the editor and download it, the app ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS freezes and either stays frozen or crashes. It has only worked for me once, so if the 2nd version is like this, don't waste $5.00 on it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-03-28, version 10.33*

Very hard to figure out how to use your own photos. It lets you upload a video but you cannot add scrolling text to it so only works with photos but when trying to export it does not work. All exports are of an image not scrolling video as it says.

*2020-02-02*

### 1/5 — READ THIS REVIEW BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD THIS

*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 — waste of money

*2019-02-28*

definitely wasn’t expecting an app this terrible. seemed sketchy, won’t be surprised if my data is leaked. guess that’s on me, but this app is still hot garbage

### 1/5 — Worst app ever

*2017-08-07*

I want my money back Do not download you can't do anything with this worthless app

### 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.

### 1/5 — What???

*2017-07-12, version 10.37*

You will need a degree in gobbledgook to understand how this works!  What a waste of money

### 1/5 — do not buy

*2017-05-30, version 10.37*

this app is useless, do not buy under any circumstances PLEASE

### 5/5 — Great job

*2019-01-08*

Great job Im liking it for  a Long time now

### 5/5 — The best and only scrolling credits on iOS

*2017-01-24*

This isn't the most user friendly app, but it is the only app that allows for fully customizable scrolling credits in iOS. And that is awesome! ...Sometimes you just need that futura font for the Wes Anderson look and only this will do.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2016-03-20, version 10.33*

I needed scrolling credits for my iMovie and this app gave me what I wanted.  Yay!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2016-02-26, version 10.33*

Works perfect. Easy to use. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2016-02-26, version 10.33*

Millions of backgrounds to choose from and easy to add scrolling text or credits to your imovies.

### 5/5 — Perfect addition

*2016-02-25, version 10.33*

Makes iPhone movies look awesome and professional.

### 5/5 — Very good app

*2014-07-21, version 10.13*

Once you learn to use this app you will never go without it. It is one of the best.

### 5/5 — Really good!

*2014-06-15*

So, it is a great app I can tell you that. I wish I could get all the names in perfect position. It is hard. The bad thing is, is that you have to type all the names for a big film. I am a big film maker if anyone wants to be in it I'm fine with it. To type out my credits, it took somewhere around 45 or an hour.

### 5/5 — Getting good

*2014-06-09, version 10.13*

Yay finally

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2013-12-31, version 10.13*

While it's not as intuitive and immediately user-friendly as I'd wish, it's still a good and useful app.
