### 5/5 — Easy to use and perfect for making memories

*2023-04-02, version 2.4.6*

I love this app. For me it’s the perfect way to save and summarize anything. Whether it be a trip or a day spent with friends, having all your favourite photos in new place, with the option to overlay with music and even titles is the best. 

I share my little videos with people and they love them too. 

Becky, if you see this, I have a question about the music. When I try to add music from my phone, rather than the music available in the app, I cannot see all of my music. Is that a copyright issue or is that a glitch?

### 4/5 — good fun

*2022-10-15, version 2.4.6*

I picked this app to animate panorama photos to post on Facebook, as panning video clips.  What it does it does automatically and well. I find it works best if you adjust the duration to 10 secs and the layout to square.  It’s a shame you can’t set a few more parameters, for example to do vertical as well as horizontal shots and to control what dimensions are treated as panoramas, but it does work very well for images that fit its expected parameters.

### 1/5 — So much potential yet frustrating

*2022-08-15, version 2.4.6*

It has so much potential. It is so easy and intuitive to use but it crashes all the time!! It even crashes my phone and males it turn off. And as there is no way to save I have to start over and over. I have been trying to complete a project for hours starting over and over again. It is so frustrating!

### 4/5 — Nice little app, thank you

*2022-04-18, version 2.4.6*

Very nice thank you

### 5/5 — Perfect for stitching Live Photos into a movie

*2021-12-23, version 2.4.6*

Couldn’t be easier.  Select your sequence of photos, and you’re done!  Great app that does exactly what you want and does it super well. Make sure to unlock premium to remove the watermark and support this great developer.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2021-11-26, version 2.4.6*

Súper bien!

### 5/5 — Great teacher tool

*2021-09-21, version 2.4.6*

This is just a great app for busy teachers. I often want to quickly document an activity my class is carrying out. Snapthread makes this so easy. Much quicker than iMovie or clips. I’ve astonished colleagues by getting a video online almost as an activity is taking place. I would like the option to export videos at lower quality and dimensions, but shortcuts can help with that.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2021-09-17, version 2.4.6*

Does not create a panorama video

### 5/5 — Анщит цен

*2021-07-31, version 2.4.5*

### 4/5 — Great App Idea, needs a little…

*2021-06-21, version 2.4.5*

Really great app. Wonderful conceptZ While it has been crashing for me, regularly, I am able to get things done, eventually.

Would be really great if you can select the portion of the audio track in app, so you could use a section from the middle of a song.
