### 5/5 — Genial

*2026-03-28, version 3.6.6*

Estaría bueno que tuviera más opciones para usar sin cargo por que tiene poca configuración free

### 3/5 — Great for Light

*2026-03-10, version 3.6.6*

For the “lite” vs you can’t complain but I find it cumbersome to move around and add features which is why I haven’t bought any extras.

### 5/5 — Es genial

*2025-12-23, version 3.6.6*

Impecable! Genial

### 4/5 — Needs more music

*2025-09-07, version 3.6.6*

Okay this app is amazing, but the developer needs a new update on this app. The new update needs to have more music and a music search engine.

### 4/5 — Nice app

*2025-07-21, version 3.6.5*

It takes kinda long to save overall awesome app✨🎀

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-05-17, version 3.6.5*

Great app… not sure why my subscription didn’t register though. Hope I’m not double charged.

### 5/5 — Excellente application je recommande vivement

*2025-03-29*

Merci aux créateurs

**Developer response:** Merci beaucoup! Profitez de l'application !

### 1/5 — Не стоит своих денег

*2024-12-29*

Самое убогое приложение для монтажа, которое я встречала. Попробуйте начать редактировать и накладывать несколько дорожек и просто сломаете голову. Если обрезать дорожку, то вырезанный фрагмент будет удален, даже если  еще раз добавить файл из галереи. И даже не пробуйте накладывать текст на конкретный кадр - если кадр большой, то сойдите с ума перетаскивать в нужно место. Ну и сохраняет файл три тысячи лет примерно. Не дай бог экран потухнет - начнете все сначала.

**Developer response:** Привет! Спасибо за отзыв, и нам жаль, что вам не понравилось приложение. У нас много довольных пользователей, но вполне логично, что приложение не подошло вам или не подошло для вашего варианта использования. Если вы хотите дать нам продуктивный отзыв, свяжитесь с нами по адресу contact@unstaticapps.com или пообщайтесь с нами в приложении, и мы с удовольствием поучимся у вас и станем лучше. Спасибо!

### 5/5 — Awesome

Its s Awesome App

**Developer response:** Thanks!!

### 2/5 — Glitchy & unreliable

*2024-07-01*

I really want this app to work as described, but it’s hugely unreliable. 
Really not worth subscribing to use.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Thanks for your honest feedback and we're sorry to hear you had an issue. If you have a few minutes we'd love to chat with you (tap "Chat with us" in the settings section of the app) or by email at contact@unstaticapps.com, to hear more about your issue and fix it. Thanks again.
