True story. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not useful! *2022-02-21, version 0.0.5* Annoying , limited & super difficult to work with. It decides everything for you in the worst possible way! If you try to add 3 short clips, spend a lot of time placing each clip, deciding the project length say 15sec and go to add music, it changes the whole project to 3 secs! Once you change the time back to 15secs then your footage is all gone and oddly enough for an app that handles clips, it changes the project from footage running smoothly to 15 one sec clips….!!!! Zero logic there! Waste of time & money. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-02-07, version 0.0.4* Have requested a refund ### 1/5 — Not happy and I do not recommend… *2022-01-22, version 0.0.3* The app is; slow to render the final video and it messes up the export to where you have to do it again, doesn’t have transition choices, doesn’t have basic color grading or exposure compensation, doesn’t have basic audio editing, and forget it working if you’re trying to use anything other than iphone videos. Frankly, I’d like my money back please. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work upon saving video *2022-01-21, version 0.0.3* The music doesn’t transfer with video correctly. Problem saving video and music ### 1/5 — I do not recommend it! *2022-01-20, version 0.0.3* I thought the application was able to process files by using the phone, however it uploads files to their end it without giving the option to have processing done only using the phone like how they did this in Prisma . I reached out to support to ask if they delete files on their end when the project is deleted in the app, got no response and automated email with a blank case number. Still have not heard from them. So who knows what happens to the videos that are uploaded. I would not trust or recommend this application. Support is non-existent!!! ### 1/5 — Lack of editing *2022-01-16, version 0.0.3* This app is pretty much a toy without controls. I'm very sorry I spent money for this. I expected much more. ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-01-10, version 0.0.3* I don’t like it we can’t search our own music it’s mostly country even when we choose hip hop ### 1/5 — I Do Not Like It *2022-01-06, version 0.2* I do not like the fact that the program adds videos that I do not choose. If I wanted those videos; I would have chosen them. Sure wish I had not paid for a subscription! ### 1/5 — Not enough editing options *2022-01-05, version 0.2* I downloaded this app because Lensa suggested it and I love the Lensa app. I said what the heck why not I’ll try the free trial and now I’m stuck with this app for a year because I forgot to unsubscribe. This app doesn’t offer many editing options. You basically upload a video and it’s shortens it to smaller clips with generic music.. that’s it, nothing to it. Waste of $35/year for this app. I was hoping I could have the same editing options as Lensa including the effects. I wish I could get a refund because I won’t be using this app again. ### 1/5 — Unable to save *2021-12-31, version 0.2* The app itself is very easy to use, I was impressed with the ability for the app to choose the best part of a video. However, the video will not save to my phone correctly, which is arguably the most important part. It saves in slow motion. I was hopeful this app would be something I used to make memories throughout the year. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ✨❤️✨ *2022-01-22, version 0.0.3* Absolutely make life easy! ### 4/5 — Great Start *2022-01-22, version 0.0.3* Pros: 1. Clean and bloat free user interface 2. An extensive gallery of audio tracks to select from 3. The AI does a remarkable job of selecting usable highlights to match with the audio tracks Cons: 1. No text function to add TITLES and possible in movie subtitles 2. Audio tracks take obscenely long to download which almost renders the app unusable 3. Could use a bit more options for duration presets 4. The path to replace the audio you already selected is not as intuitive as it could be 5. Output resolution options would be appreciated (4k, 1080, etc) Great Start. Looking forward to the growth of the this app. Just keep it lean avoiding less used features that other apps offer. Regards. ### 4/5 — Quick editing! *2022-01-19, version 0.0.3* Fun app to get started with editing. Music selection is very good and the basic cuts work well. If you need a quick an easy way to edit video download this app! The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was I could not figure out how to rotate video even after clicking on the cropping rotate icon. The option only showed me different aspect ratios to choose from. It would have been nice to turn videos from portrait to landscape. ### 3/5 — Review *2022-01-08, version 0.2* It’s great for adding clips and music but other than that you can’t edit anything like how fast it goes the motion voiceover and you cannot like Brighten or use filters once it’s there ### 2/5 — Very basic app *2023-03-09, version 0.0.7* All this app does, is chop up yo All this app does, is chop up your videos. The longest video can only be 60 seconds and it’s just basic if I’m being honest. ur videos. The longest video can only be 60 seconds and it’s just basic if I’m being honest. ### 2/5 — Basic options *2022-11-27, version 0.0.7* The app contains basic options that you can find in other apps without a subscription. I have the application since it came out and has received few updates. 7 month without updates… ### 2/5 — Expect much more. *2022-01-06, version 0.2* No reason to pay. Free version doing the same. Videos are to short and ends-up unexpected. No final theme. Not recommend to pay. ### 2/5 — Not impressed *2022-01-01, version 0.2* I can’t do as much as I’d like to extend video clip lengths, add music reels Ive saved, search for music, add some music and some video audio. Can’t save to library or share easily to social media. Not worth the cost. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
