Stills User Reviews

Top reviews

I’m old and I think it’s easy lol

Needed a way to extract quality images from videos and Stills is just what I needed. It’s great for monetized FB pages, they still pay well for photos. Highly recommend!

Simple, perhaps too simple

I genuinely like the app. An automation function would be a huge improvement. A frame skip/frame ratio would be stellar. But it is a good, simple app that does what it says it does. I’d just like to see some basic tweaks to get it to 5-stars.

Good.

Is there any way I can save it as a png and heic file?

Issue fixed, system picker?

Wow, thank you for fixing the slow video picker loading issue, and doing it quick. But I really wish the app just used the system picker, for consistency with other apps & the rest of the OS and so I could see my created folders grouping my albums.

(Latest Response) Hi ChasingGamey, Thank you so much for updating the Review & the Rating. It means a lot to me. I am glad I was able to fix it & make you happy. Regarding SytemPicker, I really understand your use case & you are absolutely correct. I will try to add it to Stills in future. But It's not added yet, because Stills need to import the whole video with all asset info in the app from Photo Library & If I use System Picker, with importing photos can be fine in some case (importing without any asset info). But for video the Stills app can't have that info & If Photo Library Permission are not given then other issues as well with. So To keep things simple & easy it's not added & the possibility of Stills getting all the video & related info gets affected with SystemPicker. But I will try to look into it again & see what are the possibilities & if any user still wishes to use System Picker, then have it in Settings & display message about few limitation also, so user is aware about it. I'm committed to improving Stills App with bug fixes & new & helpful features with each update. So, Thank you for being with Stills & me on this journey to make it simple & easy to save Photo from Video. Your feedback was very helpful & Thank you for being active & replying to the review. With this I can know that my fixes has reached you & you are happy with it. Feel free to reach out via mail at truemaulik@icloud.com if you need help with anything else.

Without your feedback, I would not have noticed this issue Video Picker was having with Large Photo Library. After reading your review on 06 August, I had started work on improving the Import using Video Picker & make it super fast. I have submitted the update (Stills 25.2) to Apple & is waiting for review. You should be able to use the app smoothly & use video picker without having the need to wait even for a second. And Yes the app will continue to be updated with fixes & improvements & is always going to be maintained, so that the users keep on having great experience using Stills App on the Apple App Store. Feel free to reach out via mail at truemaulik@icloud.com if you need help with anything else. Thank You 🙂🙏🏼❤️ Regards Maulik (@truemaulik)

Is this app being maintained still?

Video picker loading time is a very serious concern, especially for those with a large library. Mine takes 12 seconds. Please use the system picker. Thank you.

Perfect

Exactly what I was looking for!!! Very easy and simple to use

Pinch to Zoom Option

Great App. Been using it a lot. Request please to have a Pinch to Zoom option so we can check frame sharpness, etc… thanks.

Stop reading big video file

I loaded a 40minutes clip and it can only read in half of the video. The slider cannot slide to end of video.

Tip: Tap on picture to move one frame forward

At first, I was disappointed thinking the slider doesn’t give a precise frame selection, but finally figured out that I can do that by tapping the picture. Thanks for making this app. Functionality is simple and enough. Lastly, one time purchase is the best.

Saves files to Pictures Folder

What Pictures Folder? Saves pictures to some far off galaxy!!!

Another waste of money for poor apple apps.

Pretty Good

Almost perfect app for making backup poster frames for web videos. Would be perfect if you could drag / drop videos into the app, and then go through your videos at a quicker pace, or if it preseted 10 stills to choose from and you just click one.

Response from developer

Once set up, a quick and easy

Great little "go to" app that extracts good photos from good videos. When you only have a video,
this can "save the day" when stills are needed.
Developer, responsive and helpful, when needed.

Worth every penny

I needed a still pic of my dog but all I had was a poorly taken video. After hours of frustration trying other 'free' apps, I decided to buy this one. In less than 5 minutes I got the still shot needed. I’m so impressed with the quality and how user friendly it is. Worth every penny!

Finally!!

Totally worth paying for. I used to use SnapStill, but it stopped working for me, and ever since then I’ve been looking for a replacement. Finally decided to buy this hoping for the best, and I’m so glad I did. Excellent quality, no nonsense, just works.
