*2025-09-18*

Оказалось совершенно не впечатляющим приложением,  эффектов по пальца пересчитать, не интересные лупы, понятно теперь почему сразу хотят подписку , подключила 3 дня бесплатно , хватило 1 минуты понять ,  что оно совершенно не пригодится . Отменила подписку , удаляю приложение , разработчикам удачи в совершенствовании👌🏻 

P.s Ну и почему то стоило отменить подписку , приходит сообщение что с моего счета хотят снять 749 рублей за подписку на это приложение ) удивительно, надеюсь я не лишусь своих денег когда пополню счет! Не красиво к то как то, дается  3 дня пробного пользования все  таки, а отмена подписки была сразу

### 4/5 — Tons of fun, but needs 4k export

*2024-09-25, version 2.3.14*

I use this app in a lot of art projects. The biggest complaint I have is not being able to export high resolution video. 

Please consider allowing us to export at least full 4K video, preferably allowing us to boost the bit rate up to 200Mbps and use H.265 video to keep the quality as high as possible.
