### 4/5 — Instructions to add and remove videos unclear

*2020-10-02*

Eventually I found how to do this by going into Settings iOS 1402 then the app and it is mentioned there. Recommend these instructions be removed to a help menu within the app itself when launched. 
This is a really useful app I didn’t have a problem before updating the iOS. Thank you

### 2/5 — Photo quality

*2019-12-30*

App is a good idea but photo quality isn’t instagram worthy. A small zoom into the photo and it’s blurry

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Was Looking For

*2019-08-15*

This app is exactly what I was looking for: an easy, quick way to save frames from my videos to my photos. Perfect!

### 3/5 — Functionality is fine but requires update

*2019-08-03*

The functionality is fine - hi-res export of individual frames from a video - but the app desperately needs to be updated to conform with more recent versions of iOS and phone screens. 

It crashed once in about 30 mins of using it. No big deal, restarted ok.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-07-24*

Use it all the time. Take lots of video rather than single shots at high frame rate so have plenty of footage for doing vids later. Look no further. This App is it.

### 5/5 — 还可以

*2019-07-03*

还可以

### 4/5 — Works well

*2019-06-05*

Could do with a way to gear the slider down. On video a minutes long it is difficult to select the exact frame and tedious scrolling the film strip.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-05-10*

It makes what I need to do a breeze.

### 5/5 — 素晴らしい

*2019-05-05*

最初から動画とってたほうが楽でいい

### 5/5 — Fantastic. Easy to Use

*2019-03-28*

Love this app. Great pictures from a video. So easy to use.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2022-12-31*

Doesn’t really do much

### 1/5 — Frame quality is awful.

*2021-08-21, version 3.02*

That’s it. Don’t bother.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-06-05*

Despite multiple attempts, I could not get the app to work. I would continually experience the app crashing when selecting videos. There was also a significant, and totally unacceptable, delay in bringing up my video library for selecting videos.

### 1/5 — Does not work on IPad

*2020-04-17*

Don’t waste your money. In order to work, you load a video from your pictures file. Unfortunately, all you get is an error message saying the video failed to load. I have tried this with seven videos—all resulting in error messages.

### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work at all

*2019-12-29*

Not only is the screen size too small for newer iPhones, but it straight up just doesn’t work either.  How hard can it be to capture an image from a video? This app does ONE thing and can’t even do that.

Waste of money I want it back.

Each time I try to load a video it just says there was an “error loading the video.” Well guess I’m screwed then. Too bad it says that for every video except the most recent one.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2019-12-15*

Won’t load my videos. Emailed for support and never heard back

### 1/5 — Terrible app

*2019-12-11, version 2.2*

Well first off the look of the app looked very old, almost like AOL times. But I still have it a chance but every video I try to upload to grab pictures from I get an error code saying it can’t upload the video.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2019-11-28*

I wish I had listened to reviews! I have 28 videos on my phone and THREE show up as choices to edit. I did all the troubleshooting and nothing worked. Totally worthless.

### 1/5 — Not showing all my videos

*2019-08-24*

This app is only allowing me to choose a few of my videos from my phone, not including the video I want to grab a photo from.

### 1/5 — Won’t access my videos

*2019-07-01*

It’s hard to edit videos if the app won’t locate them in my camera roll. And it doesn’t.

*2020-06-28*

Easy to use and high quality images

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2020-01-15*

This app works really well for me. It allows the exact frame desired to be copied in full res and saved as a still photo

### 5/5 — 大変使いやすい。素晴らしいアプリです。

*2019-12-28*

操作も簡単で、孫の笑顔の写真が持てるようになりました。

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2019-12-09*

This app does exactly what it promises to do, which is increasingly rare. It’s easy to use and I love it.

### 5/5 — AMAZING

*2019-11-21*

I mostly have videos of my granddaughter. I’ve been trying to get stills from videos for a project I’m making for her first birthday! I’ve tried everything, Adobe, etc. I came across this app in an internet search. It very clearly states it is not an editor. (I say that because of another review I read on here). Anyway, this is the first review I’ve ever written in my life. I guess because I was so frustrated and this was just so easy!!!! I would have paid a lot more than 2.99. YHANK UOU!!!!

### 5/5 — Easy to use and works great!

*2019-10-31*

Easy to use and works great!

### 5/5 — My most used photo app

*2019-10-18*

Love this app it is simple to produce photos from video of high quality. Have used to grab perfect stills from action video from my grankids to events. Only minor niggle, is can you improve slider as on long video can be difficult to stop on exact frame . All in all a great tool that i would not be without. I am just a gran who loves photography and this has been such fun to use, totally impressed family and friends with my perfect camera shots "wink"

### 5/5 — Great App

*2019-09-20*

Easy to use!  Does what it promises, without problems. Recommending it to friends and relatives.
