### 1/5 — No zoom option available

*2025-02-14*

WASTE OF MONEY!!

**Developer response:** To zoom, just make any crop area smaller by using the 2 finger pinch gesture (or by changing the size in the option menu)
You can contact me at contact@pacolabs.com for any help.

### 1/5 — Used to LOVE this app

*2025-01-11, version 5.6*

I really used to love this app, and haven’t been able to find a replacement. However, I don’t know what happened to the quality of the video. It’s horrible after saving it.

Bitte Updaten oder Fehler beheben .

### 1/5 — Worst video app I’ve ever came across

*2020-05-12, version 5.2.3*

This app is the worst, PERIOD.
I bought this app because they said it can zoom a video, I’ve been messing around with it for a while now and it won’t zoom the video. 
Can’t believe I just wasted money on this crap 💩.
I hope apple kick your worthless app out the App Store.
Wish I can give this app a zero star.

### 1/5 — Not Good

*2019-04-07, version 4.0.1*

Very bad , I don’t like this app , wast money for poor app

### 1/5 — Needs tutorial support

*2018-12-16, version 4.0.1*

App is not intuitive nor does it comes with great instructions.

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2018-10-23*

This app is horrible for zooming and not what I wanted and the expectation I was thinking of. I want my money back.

**Developer response:** Hello,
If you care to elaborate on what you expected, and what you did not manage to do, please send me an email to contact@pacolabs.com.
I might be able to explain you the things you might have missed.

### 1/5 — The worst app I have ever seen

*2018-10-10, version 4.0*

There is no way to zoom in on a particular object in a video at all. Very limited function you can use. After just a few minutes into it, I determined to throw it away forever. Can I get my money back?

### 5/5 — Je n’peux pas m’en passer !

*2026-06-03*

Plus de vidéos mal centrées ou qui donne le vertige, un vrai bonheur 🥹

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre message :)

### 5/5 — Worth it!

*2025-03-02*

normally, I would never pay for an app because I believe our phone app should be free, but this app works amazing. Makes steel frame videos look like somebody was filming with their hand. It’s customizable and when you work with iMovie, it will change the project that you’re working on to whatever you modify the original video to

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2024-07-26*

So quick and easy to edit my dance videos exactly to follow my movement

### 5/5 — High quality effective focused app for cheep

*2024-02-05*

This app is under priced.  It is easy to use.  Fast (in exporting and processing) even large videos.  If you are looking for dynamic cropping even just to do it for a few videos it works so good and is so much easier to do than using video editing software and trying to key each frame.  

Highly recommend.  It is single focused use case but if it’s your use case it works perfectly

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-02-03, version 5.6*

Satisfaction 🤌🏼👌🏼

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-01-23*

This app is very useful. Great purchase and really reliable. It posed a bit of a challenge at first as I wasn’t as keen in this area of expertise, but with a little bit of practice everything became easier. Since 2022, I have used this app for all of my edits and have been happy with it ever since.

Thank you devs!

### 5/5 — Perfection

*2023-02-02, version 5.6*

Great crop/zoom app. Simple to use and fast conversions.

### 5/5 — Einfach praktisch

*2022-10-16*

Einfach und sehr praktisch. 😄👍

### 5/5 — Absolut klasse und brauchbar

*2022-08-17*

Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Schnell und unkompliziert!

### 5/5 — Dynamisches Cropping mit Kamerafahrten

*2022-08-15*

Nicht nur einen starren Bildausschnitt wählen, sondern auch wie dieser Ausschnitt sich über die Dauer des Videos ändern soll. Großartig!
