### 1/5 — Frustrating

*2021-06-26*

Exact same problem as this reviewer & I paid for the premium version: “Would be great app if it always worked properly. Can’t get it to consistently utilize a PDF logo without it adding a white backdrop to the logo. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. Really annoying that it’s wasted my time trying to get it to work again after paying for it.”

### 5/5 — Really good!

*2020-03-29, version 1.0.13*

Adds subtitles super fast. Not complicated at all.

### 1/5 — Black screen

*2019-09-22*

the app works fine while im creating the subtitles but when i export the video the screen is black with the subs playing over it

### 3/5 — No sound

*2019-07-07*

I tried both apps and neither had sound on my video. Of course I checked to make sure it wasn’t the original video and it wasn’t. Other than that easy to understand just wish I could have used it today.

### 1/5 — Wrong! Very wrong

*2019-04-27, version 1.0.13*

Don’t download it. Tried both apps from the same company and neither delivers what it promises to do. My videos come out as a green screen online. Wasted 4 dollars for nothing! Don’t download it.

### 1/5 — Great concept, awful execution.

*2019-04-12*

Everything works like you’d expect, you can make text appear on the screen for certain amounts of time, but there’s no play button for you to listen to the video.  I would seriously like to know how they expect someone to put subtitles on their video if they can’t even hear what they are subtitling.

**Developer response:** Please switch off the mute switch on the left of your phone

### 2/5 — Does not export

*2019-03-19*

Works great and is very efficient. However, I can’t export my six second video. It says something like cannot export now try again later. I hit try again but the same screen saying that it cannot export pops up.

### 3/5 — It works well enough could be better could be worst.

*2019-01-08, version 1.0.13*

It gets the job done.

### 1/5 — No Sound Playing

*2018-11-02*

I hear no Sound when i play the Video so i can put my subtitles

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of work

*2018-08-30, version 1.0.13*

It’s not letting me export my video to my camera roll but otherwise I guess it’s okay.
