Can’t edit. Can’t see screen. Worst I’ve seen. Not user friendly. ### 3/5 — Erro de geração do Video e conectividade com AppleMusic *2023-11-07* App muito intuitivo para montar um slideshow com fotos e videos, porém na maioria das vezes que tentei exportar o video, o app travava e reiniciava. A integração com AppleMusic não funciona direito, sempre informa que a música não foi baixada no dispositivo, sendo que já esta baixado sim. Enfim, não consegui utilizar para gerar um video adequado para uma ocasião que precisava. ### 1/5 — Só pagando *2022-06-28* Não faz nada sem comprar ### 1/5 — waste of time *2022-01-06, version 2.02* The App asked to subscribe to plans, which I did just to trial for 3 days first. It appears on my Apple future bills already, however the App cannot recognise it when I open it for the second time. It kept asking me to subscribe again, which is not possible as I’ve selected my plan already. I tried proceeding with editing the video with limited durations anyhow, but the project simply cannot be exported! The ‘Free’ version also is not stating the ‘pro’ functions clearly which led to constants pop up of subscription page, which again I subscribed already… NO FINISHED WORK CAN BE DOWNLOADED ACTUALLY SERIOUS WASTE OF TIME. ### 1/5 — Paguei e não levei *2021-09-07* Paguei e o app não liberou os recursos para mim ### 4/5 — Good *2021-09-04, version 1.4* Pretty good ### 4/5 — R *2021-08-03, version 1.4* R ### 5/5 — Estou gostando *2021-07-20* Bom ### 1/5 — This app was good for simple slide shows *2021-06-01* Buyer be aware that they do not give you all the details before forcing you to purchase the higher category of plan. After selecting the plan there is still a limit on how many pictures you can upload and length of slideshow. It is extremely disappointing because when I first downloaded this app several year ago it was amazing! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Look elsewhere *2026-07-28* I was stung with a three day trial that charged me $29 and then couldn’t make a slideshow without taping on each individual image x 100 but couldn’t see what I had selected. Not user friendly **Developer response:** Hi, sorry for the frustrating experience, that's not what we want. For the trial charge, Apple handles all billing so please feel free to request a refund from them. You're also right about photo selection: adding multi-select with clearer visual feedback on chosen images is at the top of our list. Thanks for the honest feedback, it genuinely helps us improve.

YHEY TAKE MONRY YOU HAVE NOT AUTHOISED AND HAVE NOBODY TO CONTACT ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-05-31, version 3.2.1* Didn't make project and would shut down. Very frustrating after I spent time finding the right pics to add. I thought it was a fluke the first time so I tried again and it was the same thing. Do not buy this app! I ended up using the Video Shop App and it worked so well and quickly. ### 1/5 — Cant use without trial *2025-08-24, version 3.1.1* Forced to give them card info ### 1/5 — No waste your time *2024-11-24* No waste your time using it ### 1/5 — Am I missing something? *2024-06-21* Just downloaded the app and tried to make a slideshow. I cannot find a home button, a help button a Settings button. Nothing. The only screen that comes up is create. That's great but how do I create? I selected a bunch of pictures then click the button that says add music, every time I try to add a song that is downloaded on my device a pop-up comes up and says is not downloaded on device. Anyways, I canceled the free trial subscription and deleted the app. ### 1/5 — Totally unusable *2023-05-07, version 2.8.3* Spent my time editing, spend money for subscription Then UNABLE TO EXPORT AT ALL The app just closes all in a sudden everytime I try to export. Piece of trash ### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing *2022-11-01, version 2.8.1* This would be a really great app if I could play or export my video without it crashing. ### 1/5 — LIKE IT BUT….. *2022-07-26, version 2.03* I can put the video together but can’t export it because it keeps crashing so unless this fixed I won’t be paying for an app that keeps CRASHING ### 1/5 — Lame app *2022-07-14* I downloaded the app and began making my first slideshow. The app crashed as I tried to post it to IG. Tried doing it over again but the app didn’t recognize me as a paid subscriber and tried to get me to sign up again. I encountered other problems too. I have deleted the app and will try and find one that actually works. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Eli *2026-08-13, version 3.2.8* Danesh ### 5/5 — Handy *2026-02-06, version 3.1.9* Useful tool ### 5/5 — Gracias *2025-09-10, version 3.1.1* Gracias ### 5/5 — Great slideshow app! *2024-12-24, version 3.0.7* Easy to import pictures and create slideshow ! ### 5/5 — So good *2024-09-13, version 3.0.5* I love it ### 5/5 — Great *2024-08-08, version 3.0.5* Easy to use and understand for slideshows! ### 5/5 — 💑 *2023-10-01, version 2.9.0* 很方便 ### 5/5 — Good *2023-06-21, version 2.9.0* Nice experience ### 5/5 — Perfect *2023-01-27, version 2.8.3* It is one of the best app ### 5/5 — Great *2021-09-16, version 1.4* Fab app so far 😊 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
