### 4/5 — すごくいい

*2019-12-24*

長い時間に対応していないので、10分の動画を1分ずつカットして作業できました。でも大変でした。それから保存でフリーズするのが無くなれば、もっと高くても使います。

すごくありがたいアプリです。使いやすい！

**Developer response:** ご利用頂きありがとうございました。不便な機能を改善するために最善を尽くしますが、また新しい機能が作成中ですので、ご期待しましょう。

### 4/5 — Saving edits

*2019-08-08*

The app is really cool. But how do you save your edit to your camera roll once you’re finished?

### 2/5 — Не сохранить

*2019-05-07*

Не даёт сохранить даже с копирайтами. Зачем нужно такое приложение?

### 2/5 — УБЕРИТЕ ВОДЯНОЙ ЗНАК

The app is doesn’t work!😡

### 1/5 — スタンプは消えません

*2022-04-29*

有料で買った（アプリをダウンロード）だけでは元からとってある写真を編集した際、右上のスタンプがつきます。

キラキラを追加出来ますが、削除出来るのは追加したキラキラだけです。自動認知は消せません。
今後使うことは無いと思います。

I sell jewelry that has a lot of bling, sparkle and shine, but when I try to take a pic of the jewelry it looks dull with no sparkle. Thanks to this Shine app I can now show off how beautiful my jewelry is in person as well as in photos ! I love this app !! 😊Thank you

### 5/5 — It was worth it
