Do not buy this for 5 effects and nothing else to do to your videos. Please don’t waste your 5 then another 3 to remove adds then 3 more for more effect that do the same thing. And you are force to rate 5 stars to you lock another filter which is the same as the others. I regret buying it after 3 min of paying for it. Wish I can get my money back

### 1/5 — Not a free app

*2024-12-25, version 1.2*
