Don’t bother. ### 2/5 — Looked Great *2020-01-07, version 1.7* Until I got through the tutorial and closed the app for a couple days. After that, I open the app and I get a full screen pop up asking me to subscribe. I can do anything with the app and have never had a chance to use it. It’s going to take more than a good looking tutorial to make me use the app at this point. ### 1/5 — ! *2019-12-11, version 1.7* Here's an ad that never goes away!!! Why?? ### 1/5 — Scam *2019-11-27, version 1.7* I did the tutorial and as soon as I finished it an ad shows up to pay $3 a week to use with no exit ### 1/5 — Faulty app won’t let me access subsciption *2019-11-05, version 1.7* I paid for subscription, could not access pro features and still got ads. Terrible service would like a refund or fix ### 1/5 — Pop up for paid premium *2019-10-20, version 1.7* After the quick tutorial it immediately popped up asking for purchase and wouldn't let me exit the pop up window. Closed app and tried again. Company clearly pushing for premium purchase. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2019-10-14, version 1.7* Don’t waste time on this. Looks free but wants you to join at end before you can try. No thanks ### 2/5 — Unable to exit pro version promo page *2019-10-13, version 1.7* A wonderful app to use but WHAT THE HECK is wrong now that i am unable to go back to the app as the app launches its shows the pro version promo and the back button on the top left doesn’t work. Please fix it not everyone wants a paid version ### 1/5 — Nonsense *2019-10-09, version 1.7* Went to use the app for the first time. Was accosted by the “buy our premium package” BS and wouldn’t let me use the app u less I started a trial. Even if I pressed back. Even if I quit the app and came back. Sort it out. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2019-09-12, version 1.7* This story editor could potentially be super cool but for $12/ month or (2.99/week as they say) it’s not worth it. I’m not sure how you’re getting away with calling this a free app just because you do a 3day free trial... and you have to sign up in order to get that free 3day trial. I’m so disappointed and you totally wasted my time. Also, it seems pretty apparent that most of the good reviews on here are completely fake. ### 1/5 — No Es Gratis *2019-09-11, version 1.7* La aplicación no es gratuita. Apenas uno la descarga y la va a usar aparece la opción de pago. Si no se paga no deja hacer nada más. ### 1/5 — What is wrong with you people??? *2019-09-02, version 1.7* Let me at least use the app!!!! You gotta stop with the pop up to sub every 5 seconds!!! I don’t even know how to use the app!!! I can’t use the app cause you won’t stop with the begging to sub. Make good apps and let people use them. If the app is good they’ll buy but I’m not going to do a free trial so you hope I forget and you charge me after 3 days... DO BETTER! ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work Well *2019-08-29, version 1.7* The idea behind it is awesome - but it needs more development. I have an IPhone XR and it’s non-responsive to my touch. When I try to scroll to see all of the designs it does nothing. The only design that reacts is the first one which is pre-highlighted. Hopefully this gets fixed because I love the concept of what you have designed. Thanks ### 1/5 — Not Free *2019-08-27, version 1.7* Won’t let you get out of screen that forces you to subscribe. ### 2/5 — Glitches Need Stitches *2019-08-23, version 1.7* The stock photo library is glitching so badly I have to close the app and lose all my progress. Unless this issue is fixed I’d just stick to using your own photo library. ### 1/5 — Nada es gratis *2019-08-22, version 1.7* No deja usar nada de la app a menos que pagues. Hasta lo que es “free” te sale un pop up que no deja cerrar solo suscribirte a sus métodos de pago. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash app *2023-03-09, version 2.0* They haven’t added new templates since I downloaded the free app 5 years ago ### 1/5 — Pésima. *2021-12-09, version 1.8* La idea es buenísima pero se queda colgado a cada cosa que haces. Desinstalada. ### 1/5 — AWFUL + BORING! *2021-10-13, version 1.8* The high star reviews for this app are FAKE! There’s no way this can be ranked at almost 5*! Only 3 BORING, free templates, and the other paid 25-30 ones are beyond boring~ with soooo many other, BETTER apps out there now, just makes this one a total joke. Don’t give these people any more money. ### 1/5 — Trash App!!! Very disappointed *2021-02-16, version 1.8* I paid for the Ad free version. Extremely disappointed. I can’t edit my projects, my gallery won’t load. Only the first 5 pictures and that’s it. I’ve refreshed my phone several times thinking that would fix it but nope. It’s not my phone, it’s the app. I’m deleting it. Don’t waste your time or money guys. ### 1/5 — Complicated *2020-02-23, version 1.8* What a complicated app to use, very frustrating, trying to force you tu use it pro, but if you cannot even figure it out for free, I’m for sure not investing in it, takes too long to make a simple story, very time consuming for a quickly moving necessity... if I could rate it with less I would ### 1/5 — NO ES GRATISSSSS *2020-01-14, version 1.7* ¡¡¡¡Es falso que es gratis!!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t access my photos *2019-12-31, version 1.7* This would be an amazing tool if I could access MY pictures on my phone. ### 1/5 — Download "Still Waiting"!! *2019-12-25, version 1.7* WTH? It's been quite a while since I've attempted to download this app!😡😡 It's sitting on my iPod screen Still Waiting for weeks! I have tried to delete App but nothing happens 😡😠😡😠 CARMEN Cutajar ### 1/5 — Misleading *2019-12-15, version 1.7* I’m stuck on the sub page after clicking one edit. I don’t even know how the app works so I can atleast decide if I like it or not. Horrible marketing and strategy. I’ll gladly pay $12 a month for canva and figure out how to do videos! ### 1/5 — Всё платно. *2019-12-14* Всё платно, не дают даже попробовать зайти (только в их «обучалку). Сразу навязывают подписку и из этого окна не выйти. Три дня бесплатно типа, но все мы знаем к чему это обычно приводит. Удался и НЕ рекомендую. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Jay *2022-03-19, version 1.8* Excellent app ### 5/5 — Story *2019-09-18, version 1.7* Great app 😆😆 ### 5/5 — Love *2019-07-25, version 1.7* Great app ### 5/5 — Love it *2019-07-10, version 1.7* Variety I like the most. I can really be creative ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2019-06-13, version 1.7* This has become one of my favourite apps... Simple, sleek, clean and easy to use. I only wish we could add video clips. ### 5/5 — I’m not able to use it *2019-05-16, version 1.6* I love it but I’m not able to use it. I was charge for the week and anyway the application don’t let me go in!! Please help out ### 5/5 — In app purchases *2019-05-13, version 1.6* I don’t mind an add once in a while, however every time I try to create a draft I get prompted for the same offer and can never x-out to create. Also it’s too many steps to edit and add photos from my album to the platform. I love the aesthetics but as a platform it’s too complex considering all the other platforms I use as a social media manager. ### 5/5 — Easy and Fun! *2019-04-29, version 1.5* Easy to navigate; set “story”. Can be used for personally and professionally. Thanks for a fun, cool app! ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2019-04-28, version 1.5* I found this one and I have to say that is one of my fav apps ever!!! ### 5/5 — Everything is perfect,, the only one bad thing, is make very short time videos for stories *2019-04-25* Everything is perfect,, the only one bad thing, is make very short time videos for stories --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
