You can’t even buy it. And there also isn’t a yellow or orange lightsaber. My other complaint is that you can’t feature two lightsabers in the same clip. I have to go through endless editing for it to work. Please add all of these! ### 3/5 — Good but problems *2023-01-21, version 2.2.0* When I got this to be cool, but when I started filming and started editing, it was fine, but when I watch the video, it didn’t even work at all that. ### 3/5 — Requirements *2022-08-17, version 2.2.0* Are you required to have a Star Wars toy in front of you when you take your video, because my stuff will not play ### 4/5 — I agree with fortnitekid800 *2022-07-13, version 2.2.0* When I downloaded this in thought this was cool and promising but it was problems but it’s okay ### 3/5 — Okey *2022-03-01, version 2.2.0* I just got it and when I was filming it didn’t show the characters. I don’t know wat to do ### 3/5 — Needs work *2021-11-29, version 2.2.0* The fantasy actions are great but every time I try to use a lightsaber it goes all over my screen ### 2/5 — Video is only one second long *2021-11-20, version 2.2.0* Every time I make something in this app it’s only 1 second long I remember when I had this app like a year ago and it was perfectly fine ### 3/5 — Nah *2021-11-16, version 2.2.0* Idk if this is the same app but if it is it used to be so good way back when it wasn’t done on your camera and you actually controlled units anyone else remember that... ### 4/5 — Good but has problems *2021-08-15, version 2.2.0* Ok so I make the video and I go to edit it and yes I do adjust the video but it just slides and it doesn’t make the video a whole video so when I go to watch the video there’s no effects and it’s like one second long and I can’t even watch the whole video because it is one second long and you don’t see the effects that’s the problem so I tried everything I tried taking down some tabs tried deleting it and re-installing it and still doesn’t work so can you please fix that ### 4/5 — Good but 1 problem *2021-05-01, version 2.2.0* This is a super fun game but for some reason I can’t use the at-at thing even if I have Bluetooth sooo can you tell me why I can’t use it ### 4/5 — Cool, but.... *2020-12-21, version 2.2.0* So this game is REALLY FUN but their are some things that DO need changing like the graphics and make the stormtroopers not look like action figures but, besides that it’s a good FX game! ### 4/5 — Good👌 *2020-11-30, version 2.2.0* It’s really really fun but I am having trouble with the lightsaber affects. Any suggestions ### 2/5 — The Toys *2020-09-12, version 2.2.0* Ya know the effects are really spot on and cool, but it would really be better without having to be forced to use the toys to make your special effects. Because it sure is not working for me ### 3/5 — Awesome! but… *2020-05-13, version 2.2.0* The lightsaber thing does not make any sense, it always glitches out and does not even look good at all. And every Time I try to process it, it kicks me out. ### 2/5 — Light sable effect never works *2020-04-28, version 2.2.0* Cannot believe how an app was not validated before putting in the store. My son wanted tondo the lightsable effect since we bought one recently. It never works. ### 4/5 — Needs more FX *2020-04-05, version 2.2.0* We need lots more and it hasn’t been updated in ages ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2023-01-22, version 2.2.0* It did absolutely nothing and it was just a blank video of a person standing there. This is a scam and I would recommend you not to get it. ### 1/5 — This game is a piece of crap *2022-07-26, version 2.2.0* Got on the app thinking it was a game. So I get on ,and I was thinking I was about to pilot an at-act. Then I hit the button and it says,”please have at-act on and close by.” And I’m like what the heck so I guess you have to have a toy to go with it. But I think would be really cool to have that toy at be able to pilot it. ### 1/5 — Warning *2022-04-15, version 2.2.0* The app does not work for the movie making portion try and try as you’re mine but it will not work do not waste your time they might as well just called best Star Wars light saber fx because that’s the only thing that works ### 1/5 — Not good *2021-11-28, version 2.2.0* So at first I thought it was great but then when I tried filming it just wouldn’t open.I keep pressing select but it just would not budge so please don’t download this until it gets major improvements ### 1/5 — ?????How do you work this????? *2021-07-12, version 2.2.0* How do you get this to work. I am following all of the instructions but nothing is showing up when I film! Can you please make a part of the app where you can take a tutorial and learn how to properly work this app. After that is added this may be worth 5 stars. But right now 😖 ### 1/5 — Don’t even understand the lightsaber effects *2021-05-18, version 2.2.0* Ok, so I wanted to try and make a realistic lightsaber video, and I did what the instructions said. I touched the base of the saber and the tip. What happened next? Well the lightsaber then started bouncing off the freaking screen all over the place. Please let me know how this works, because I have no clue. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2020-12-09, version 2.2.0* I can control the AT-ACT, but the buttons to get back out of that screen don’t work. I can record a video for a special effect but then it doesn’t render it save. Playing it from the in-app gallery just shows a white screen. ### 1/5 — For me it is bad! *2020-04-15, version 2.2.0* Every time I open this hoping it will work. The concept I so awesome, but every time film a special fix video, it is a one second video with nothing. I have the newest iPad, and this app is very glitchy. How could you fix it? ### 1/5 — This is a horrible app *2019-08-01, version 2.2.0* None of the effects worked and this app just overall stinks. Why would you make a fake app like this. You are just making people fill up their storage with videos of people because the effects don’t work. Who do you think you are? ### 1/5 — Not good *2018-01-17, version 2.2.0* I tried to do the lightsaber mode and it kept glitching out and had really low quality for all other FX. I also don't like that you earn 30 credits for each video you make, and most of the good FX costs about 900 credits. None of my videos have ever turned out right. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I love this game! *2021-03-23, version 2.2.0* So I love how you can control the at-act and I love all of it 10/10 😄 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2021-03-15, version 2.2.0* This Star Wars Fx app allows you to do so much! For this I give Five Stars! ### 5/5 — Just a suggestion. *2021-02-16, version 2.2.0* I just want to name the movies I create. ### 5/5 — Cool 🙂 *2020-07-17, version 2.2.0* I installed this and at first I did not know what this was or how to use it, but then when I found out I was amazed at what this could do and made funny videos on it with my brothers ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for sure! ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-07-02, version 2.2.0* I have been a Star Wars fan for so long and this just makes it reel ### 5/5 — Good but one thing. *2020-04-01, version 2.2.0* There is no camera flip. ### 5/5 — Cool, could be better *2020-02-22, version 2.2.0* I love this app but sometimes not all qr codes work. They really need to fix that. They should also add Rey’s new lightsaber too. ### 5/5 — Awesome but one problem *2019-05-05, version 2.2.0* OK so I make a movie and go back to edit it and in the editing menu I go and press the button that supposed to take you back to the camera so you can film the movie again. But while it’s loading up the camera when it finishes loading it takes me back to the editing menu so I have to press the go to camera button again and then it finally works. I like it a lot of the action movies and please make more FX. love the app ### 5/5 — Please bring back transformers *2019-01-17, version 2.2.0* Bring back transformers age of extinction the game I loved it back then. I rated this 5 star because that GAME was a 5 star game, so please bring it back for me and your fans please. ### 5/5 — I prefer the old Star Wars movie maker *2018-07-06, version 2.2.0* The interface was better and you could select scenes --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
